That serious and evolving dialogue should not be permitted in GD? This is upsetting to people? This actually bothers people?

Flowers2 said: uh no, that's not what he's saying.. Renegade.. there was a thread not too long ago, where a person said they only wanted to date within their race cause they feel more comfortable with people of the same cultural background, have the same experiences and can relate more to how they feel and mdiver and some others accused the person as prejudice for saying that... all races of people do this, there are caucasians who will only date caucasian, Spanish/Spanish, Indian/Indian.. so on and so forth (cause they feel more comfortable with their race) ....so why all of a sudden are they labelling people prejudice for dating their own people?  makes no sense... you know you will not like everything on the friggin menu .. personal preference has NOTHING TO DO with discriminations ...how you treat all races of people has nothing to do with what you personally like..
[Edited 1/7/09 21:34pm] I wasn't aware of that thread (if it was in P&R, then it could've come up and bit me on the buttocks and I wouldn't have known...  ) so I can't answer to what was said or suggested...and I completely agree with your last statement as well...like I said, speaking for self the whole topic has never been so absolute for me as it is for others...to be sure, I have my own likes and dislikes, but I've never let it dissuade me from getting with someone...
Exactly. And that's just another way of calling it "Preference". Same thing.
true...but my point in making that comment was "with all things considered", which, faced with a situation, is me making a decision to be alone this evening because I didn't find my exact and rigid preference...or do I go on and get with someone who ain't exactly chopped liver herself and have a good time? and of course, all of these statements are hypothetical since I'm married and as such I have no other preferences but Mrs. ReneGade....

[Edited 1/8/09 9:13am] Some people would consider that settling, or lowering their standards...which I personally am not interested in doing. My "rigid preference" is actually very broad so not wanting to deviate from it is not really that big of a deal. | |

ZombieKitten said: I think when you state your preference blanketly it's usually speaking with nobody particular in mind. It doesn't rule out having one's socks knocked off by somebody who doesn't fit the bill entirely
 I know for most of my life I've always been attracted to slimmer men. But to be honest I have had 2 forays with bigger, bear-like types. There was this one Columbian dude who I knew, a producer who was wonderfully platonic to me for years. At one period when we found ourselves single at the same time we actually managed to get to know each other's personalities more deeply. Although I wasn't as thick as what he was used to, and he wasn't as slim as I was used to, we ended up having a lovely romance...and I always remember his bear tummy feeling like a soft pillow to me  . Nothing but fond memories from that one...and while I prefer slimmer types of men, from that experience I know I would never rule out a dude with a round belly and thick, "ham-hock" legs. I'm definitely permeable  | |

I can see where some would say its settling....but when I was out there, it wasn't like I was compromising my standard to the point of laying a Yeti...I just wasn't so slavish to what I liked that my only steady girl was my hand... and I'm on the same page with you....I never had such a narrow set of preferences to begin with, so the pond was usually stocked anyway...

I'm definitely permeable I can define a "type" I'm attracted to, but to look at the men I've fallen in love with you'd never guess what it is | |

Coincidence? I think not. It's SteveN, ahh thank you. Maybe if I would have called you Darryl the thread would have turned in a different direction and everyone would have gotten on you about how you don't post enough pictures of those hands.
Far fetched...I KNOW...but still!  surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |
