[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42952017]so if I'm getting you straight
you can choose what you're attracted to
so you can choose to be gay
so all those times you've defended homosexuality as not a choice are now bullshit because straight people can choose their attractions?[/QUOTE]
not a fair comparison because a. identifying as gay or acting out on homosexuality is a choice you make, and b. its completely normal and innate for straight-identifying people to have homosexual desires.
however its not "normal" to have attractions to specific racial (race being very vague in this case) groups, that is a paraphilia. often something about that specific race is fetishised that is unique, and that itself could be based on what is depicted by culture and racial stereotypes.

its the why thats important. we know why people have homosexual desires, it's a normal and consistent thing throughout human sexual development. asian fetishism is not.
I'm 21 and I like women of all races, to be honest. I'm mostly attracted to white and latinas as it's what I'm most familiar with and what makes the majority of girls over here, but I have found attractive many black girls and asian girls aswell as I still do.
Italian-Filipino mixed race is dream tier tho.

I'm not even sure you guys consider Italian to be part of the concept of Whiteness.

Is there anything inherently wrong with it though?

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;42955226]Is there anything inherently wrong with it though?[/QUOTE]
depends what you think is wrong
i think race fetishism lends itself to a very uncomfortable place for people because its very easy for people to feel threatened by it. i dont think its a big deal for one person to say "yeah i like asian women more than other women" or something like that, but if society and culture elevates asian women to a certain status and lowers black women to another then you'll see a lot of consequences for those women beyond just bullshit "dating" surveys.
Does that include south Asians and middle easterners?
Does our society elevate asian women? I've never really heard this and was surprised with these results. All I've heard of is whitewashing models.
when i said "society" i meant california; cant speak for the entire US. a lot of dudes here elevate asian women in terms of how they're docile and a lot of their ideas about asian women come from cultural depictions or even fucking anime. like-wise dating asian women can result in a lot of people kind of looking at you oddly, going "you're that type of guy, huh?"
simple saying its just racist fails to describe what the problem is tbh
why can't everyone be gay
[IMG]http://www.charismaman.com/CMweb_2.98.jpg[/IMG]
I honestly think it's something that really boils down to personal preference of certain physical traits over things like racism.
This also raises a question for all of you guys - do you look at future planning when starting a relationship, especially if the background of your girlfriend is different in terms of culture or religion, or is it so,ething you keep for much much later in the game?

The general rules of my sexuality is that if something has an intelligence equal to or above that of an adult human with the same sapience to fully understand emotions and consent, there is no moral reasons you couldn't have a relationship because you can both have mutual affection for each other, and no moral reason to not be allowed intercourse because unlike statutory rape or bestiality both partners fully understand the terms of their consent.
Firstly this to me means I can have sex with any ethnicity, and both male, female and transgender. If they were known to exist, I could have sex with aliens and robots with sentient AI. Lastly, while I'm against bestiality and pedophilia in real life where they do not fit my criteria, if like in fiction where anything can be depicted with adult human sapience I would also be able to feel attracted to things like talking dogs/toasters and 3000 year old loli vampires.

Something with the intelligence level of an adult human is very subjective. Whatever it is may not interpret emotions the same way we do, which would make it difficult for them to reciprocate.

next time please shorten this to "i dont care id fuck a talking donut"
[QUOTE=Lamar;42950927]I thought that thing was just a myth, guess I'm in the minority of guys who generally don't find Asian woman attractive.[/QUOTE]
I think a lot of men are drawn to the cultural connotations of it as well.
[editline]23rd November 2013[/editline]
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42951326]I think it would turn out to be the same situation.[/QUOTE]
I don't think so - if youre 35 and looking for a relationship you've often gone trough one and been burned.
Which can very well explain the yellow fever among men (as asian are often seen as timid) and to an extent the white fever among women. As white men are often depicted as the most romantic.
[QUOTE=thisispain;42955505]next time please shorten this to "i dont care id fuck a talking donut"[/QUOTE]
No :3
I enjoy writing down my needlessly detailed philosophical thoughts on pointless subjects.
Also, i find when ever an Asian makes an O face, they look like a baby, groooooooooossss
lets just all be furries and fuck horses
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;42951137]Is that chart really even that accurate? Wow lol everyone goes for the Asians.
This is daily mail by the way.

Asian women are really cute though. It's just that this happens:

If they can look hot until 50 that's already more than many women can achieve. At 60 everyone is ugly anyway.
I must be broken, I prefer white or Latina girls, not Asian.
I love Japanese girls so much I married one.
As someone attracted to asian women:
FUCK YEAH
[editline]23rd November 2013[/editline]
"Asian girls are the black guys of girls; asian guys are the black girls of guys"
I don't think its just a color thing. Culture and Stereotypes could also be a factor.
People seem to be targeting the most successful groups. The lack of love for Asian men kind of stabs this theory, as well as the Asian love for latino's.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42950965]You mean studies show that shit is still super racist? I'm taken aback.[/QUOTE]
I generally don't find black people attractive if they have the west/central African look to them. Ethiopians/Somalis can look good but they aren't purely black they are Arabic mixed with black over many generations. Them along with some other black + other race mixes.
I'm racist misogynist pig CIS scum.

I think the safest way to play it is to date a bit longer and then when you do want to make a relationship out of it, you have some of those conversations. Not "what do you want to name the kids?", more like "Do you want children? Would you want to raise them with your religion?". You don't need the exact details, but general stuff like that needs to be figured out. If you want kids and she doesn't... you can't really compromise on that. If she wants to raise them as catholics but you think indoctrination of the young is morally wrong, you can't compromise on that either. Your choices boil down to keeping it casual or moving on.
