Your dating "preferences" are discriminatory | Riley J. Dennis - General

Someone she liked didnt want to date her is that it

Every individuals sexual preferences ranks higher than the other individuals feelings. [editline]wait[/editline] In general, trying to change others like this is goddamn scummy.

I wouldn't date some thin white girl, or thin girls in general. I find myself attracted to thicker girls, specifically those with big hips and ass. I guess I'm a discriminating shitlord then. My girlfriend now may be considered fat but idgaf really. She was lean years ago but was still a bit thick. After college she piled up the pounds and recently has been considering going on a plan to lose it and I'll support her all the way. This video is stupid.

[QUOTE=Van-man;51475627]Every individuals sexual preferences ranks higher than the other individuals feelings.[/QUOTE] trying to encourage the opposite to be the norm like this video is sounds like an [I]actual[/I] rape culture

[QUOTE=phygon;51475311]non-hideous thin white girl complaining about discriminatory preferences in dating ??[/QUOTE] I think that's a man, man.

Sexuality is a part of human relationships. It always will be. You can't change what features and traits people do or do not like, and even if you could, it wouldn't be your place to do so. Get over it.

I've even seen a lot of trans people making fun of this dipshit before. And the amusing part of this is, it somewhat plays into the "nice guy" logic that's great to make fun of all the time. On an interpersonal level all that you are pretty much entitled to is basic respect and decency, nothing beyond that. Otherwise I'd be pretty crazy hypocritical because my criteria to like somebody are pretty weird and arbitrary. I mean more on the nice guy thing. Should we then start telling women that they have to date every guy who's nice to them regardless of attraction? lmao.

cant be arsed to watch the whole thing since it doesnt look like it relies on actual psych studies but basically i think what they were attempting to convey was, by simply answering 'no' to one of those few questions (would you date a trans/gay/etc person?), you're automatically condemning yourself as biased, or 'discriminatory'. Which is kinda weird. Cause most people answer that not to be rude, but based on their own typical stance on the spectrum of sexuality. but its been said above a few times. you like what you like, that's it. those first questions have absolutely no context. they're better left unanswered. its like playing a 'would you rather' game where none of the answers are actually good, and then your answers are taken as-a-matter-of-fact. this is silly

Thank god I don't date then.

[QUOTE=Nastardo;51475417]To be honest, i could never date transgender if Id know she was he before. I couldn't get that idea out the back of my head, it just would feel wrong to me. It would be even worse if id found it out myself. Not knowing the person was transgender, i would feel so betrayed. I dont know why i feel a bit guilty posting this.[/QUOTE] You have a right to an opinion and feelings.

Most of those categories including race, disabled (depends on the disability, mental i think is out of the question for various reasons) or perhaps fat, I would say yes, (besides being married) i am/could be attracted to any of those. Equating all these is faulty logic though, especially when it comes to transgender. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there could be trans who pass for woman and if I didn't know I might be [I]sexually[/I] attracted, but there is far more to attraction than merely physical appearance. For instance, being able to reproduce with my loved one is a [B]huge[/B] factor in the mate I'm looking for, and not being able to would majorly effect my decision on a long term relationship. This would extend to infertile women. So yes it is discriminatory in the sense that I have preferences and aspirations that literally involve things currently [I]impossible[/I] for transgender so that majorly affects my attraction towards them. I don't believe I or anyone should be at fault for that. All this is not even to address the categorical fallacies which this video upholds (i.e. skin color being genetic and literally out of our control whereas weight is biologically influenced yet alterable). Disability is obviously out of our control to a great extent and is only sometimes biologically determined. Sexuality is biologically-influence but also majorly determined within social constructs. I totally agree we should be abolishing prejudices. I don't believe however that someone should be demonized for having reasonable preferences when it comes to who they are attracted to. Afterall, the whole point of LGBTQ liberation is vindicating who they are attracted to, hetero-cis and others have just as much of a right to be attracted to who they are attracted to.

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;51475304]Fuck you i'll date whoever I want. Sue me for wanting the best possible genes passed down for my children[/QUOTE] How are you going to get the best possible genes if you're contributing to them

It seems like this video is saying if you like something your discriminating against the other things that you don't like, in short don't like things. It's just why?

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51475748]Thank you, you've answered my question with your post.[/QUOTE] I'll follow that up by saying I honor peoples choices and respect and show love to all people whether they are trans, gay, or anything. I believe trans who transition are deservably categorized as their new gender. But like I said being able to have children with someone is really important to me. Yes there is adoption and I would do that if I or my wife turned out to be irreversibly infertile, but having biological children is a desire of mine and I don't think it's fair to shame people for that.

I hope I didn't appear earlier as shaming people. I was curious but luver and Johnnymo answered my question. EDIT: it's just... I'm probably very different about these things.

Sexuality is so hard topic nowadays. I feel like the new genders stuff is a way to create content to life and a way to get into unnecessary arguments. Some of these are ridiculous, like [B]Affectugender:[/B] a gender that is affected by mood swings. I feel its like the vegan thing, "Hey everyone my gender is Affectugender." I can understand transgender being real but this...

[QUOTE=Paramud;51475772]How are you going to get the best possible genes if you're contributing to them[/QUOTE] I get this is an insult but it doesn't really make sense

lol I would date a trans person but I've just never been attracted to a single black person. I've acknowledged that a poc is attractive, but I felt no personal sexual attraction at all. I guess I'm racist?! I can't really control that.

But the strange part is, I just don't see myself as sticking with either for a super long period of time e.g. marriage. I don't even particularly want kids either, I'm completely apathetic to the idea, it's mostly up to the other person and our financial situation. It's just how I feel lol

I am sick of these SJWs. I am bisexual myself, and I think that SJWs are hurting gay rights all over the world, especially in the middle-east. It was already hard enough to bring up the topic of gay rights in Arab countries without some idiot screaming "ALLAH FORBIDS IT!!!11". Now, if you bring up gay rights, people will shut you up by calling you a "crazy SJW". Thanks to SJWs, now you can't even make a discussion about gay rights. SJWs have harmed the LGBTQ movement more than anyone else. I know that what I posted is a bit off-topic, but I am just fed up with these SJWs who are harming liberals all over the world with their very extreme views.

I would date a trans girl if she passed really well. I would and have dated black girls, not attracted to black guys though. I'd date a fat girl no problem if she's got big titties. I'd date someone disabled if it wasn't a mental disability. Am I racist?

yes

Well at least I now know that one of my preferences is for people whos face is central on their skull. [img]https://s17.postimg.org/kjbzvl2pb/sideface.jpg[/img]

If people don't want to date me for whatever reason, that's fair enough. I don't want to go out with somebody who's not going to comfortable with me. I might think some of those reasons are stupid (for instance, if they said no because I'm an inch too tall for their preferences), but if people want to be shallow, that's their right and I'm not going to stop them.
