[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;43768840]i used to think i had racial preferences but then i realized slowly that there seem to be equal numbers of gorgeous women of each skin color
theres not one race ive not found a good number of women id gladly bone[/QUOTE]
I dunno dude, the dark ebony women... though I might find them attractive, I don't think I'd date them. Black women in general can be intimidating. They tend to expect men to be proper providers gentlemen, yet as for themselves they hold no expectations in regards to acting like a proper lady. It's like the opposite of most other cultures where men do what the fuck they want and women have all expectations on them to civilize man.
Some men might like this, but I'm not one of them. It's mostly the cultural things that throw me off, though.
I'm not sexually attracted to non-white women.
C'mon the ghost of Thisispain, come and haunt me!
However, I also don't find blonde hair sexually attractive.

I could never because I don't take the entitlement seriously in a lot of them. That and the never wrong, I'm tough shit with no consequences.
I don't think color really matters. If you're a guy, you're gonna be attracted to whoever is pretty.
If your have nice hair, a pretty face, a good sense of style, cleanliness, and a sweet personality, I'll fall in love with her. I don't care if she's dark chocolate or creamy white.

It depends. Though if people say you're racist for simply not liking something, they can go to hell.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;43768141]I don't begrudge anybody who is more physically attracted to one race over another, so long as their sexual preferences don't interfere with their social tolerance, but I, for one, have a healthy appreciation of ladies of all makes and models. I don't much care what color a girl's skin is if she's flippin' bangin' as heck. Fuck with the hue settings all you want; I'm game.[/QUOTE]

Is this a joke? That is the most bullshit sweeping generalisation I've ever heard.

[QUOTE=agentalexandre;43765581]I've never had a point in my life where I've preferred one race over another. But I guess that's because I'm a triple national myself and I was raised in a multi-cultural background. Everyone is the same boring old colour to me.[/QUOTE]
So I noticed no one replied to this to say how racist this post is.
Okay so you don't have specific preferences, whatever, but you literally are saying in your last sentence that you view everyone as the same colour. Not that you hold everyone on equal standing no matter their colour because it doesn't matter, you're saying you [I]ignore[/I] their colour. Which means you choose to look past it- as if it's a flaw but you're such a good person cos you can look at them as being the same colour as you. You're implying that it's a flaw to be another race but oh, you're so respectful and kind that you can ignore that they're black, or asian, or middle-eastern; you can look at them like they're the same race as you! What a kind soul you are. Except from that it's racist as fuck because it literally sounds like a supremacy thing. I get that you're well-meaning but you're so very off. You're saying, "Yeah you're black, but don't worry! To me, you're just another white guy!" That's so fucking awful and disgusting. You're saying [I]"You have an inherent flaw in your being -your skin colour- but I'm so goddamn nice I can ignore it and look at you as a white person"[/I] (I know you say you're mixed race, but I'm just using that as an example as I don't know what you identify as)

Racist
It reminds me of that really harsh okCupid study that showed that people just didn't prefer black women and more people preferred asians
I think this is mostly just something that comes out in societies where there's a significantly large amount of minorities which are visually distinctly different from the majority. I don't think most people in mostly monoethnic countries really thought about this.
And since there's a lot of less of it going on, dating outside of your race is generally seen more as something as a novelty, not really judged too much. AS in might be in a country where the minorities make a larger portion of society.
[QUOTE=Glitchman;43771496]It reminds me of that really harsh okCupid study that showed that people just didn't prefer black women and more people preferred asians[/QUOTE]
If I recall it showed that most women had a preference for white men and asian women. Only one racial group had an exception. (I think it was black men for black women). Though I've always considered Ok cupid to be somewhat of an oddball.
I wish I got to date more people of different races. Here they are hard to come by and are often very exclusive and hang out/ date with people of their own race. You are also kinda silently-frowned-upon if you date inter-racially. The struggle of living under the tuscan sun.
I had dated people of different ethnicities tho and found it a very positive experience. Plenty of stuff to discuss, often with people with funny accents. Great times.
As far as body attraction goes I don't think I have preferences related to race- They are all related to being well kept, the kind of body figure, eye color, hairstyle, how you dress- and so on and so forth..
Like as far as body attraction goes- if you're short, with dark eyes, a bang hairstyle and a slim figure I'd date you in every shade of skin color, from albino to pitch black.

I knew you liked that Brazilian booty! :v:
But seriously I want to say I ignore the colours and I have absolutely no prejudice, but I've only ever been sexually interested in one black girl out of all the ones I've met so far. It's not a cultural thing and I don't dislike black people, I just don't seem to be interested in them. Other than that I haven't noticed a consistant trend. I like asians, persians, arabs... name it. Maybe it's not a colour thing and it's just about common features. I have no idea.

Come on, you know half the time he wasn't even attempting to make a real argument and he was just pissing people off. He wasn't much fun to talk to (the old Love Advice section unfortunately had me get close to him) and he was even less fun to argue against, considering it was rare you could get a coherent statement out of him. He was an elitist ass and I won't miss him.

Well Sanius himself isn't banned for some reason.
my dad likes asians
so i'm half asian, and i'd guess that would make me less partial to either white or asian women.
but i'm waaaay more attracted to white women.
I cant rationalize it, and kinda felt bad about it, because i've always been closer to my asian relatives than my white relatives.
