Have u ever dated outside of ur race

And

How was the experience ...

Or

Anybody with different religious background such as Athiest, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, etc....
(since Athiest is a form of ideals I believe it's a religion in it's own way)

Nope. But I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Yeah. And I'm married to the person.

Same here...

Yes almost every time...and most people I have dated have been wonderful, regardless of race...No one tops the love of my life though(guy standing to my left in my profile pic)...he's biracial himself and his family is a wonderful loving group. Any interacial couple can work...as race is not a barrier if you really love someone for the individual they are.

I have! I have! And I still am. White guys are great!

Yeap a lot !! No problem at all ! Actualy it doesn't make much difference, the difference is in the person not the race..

..I just love lisa's question of the day!

Yeah, I dated outside my race, and I went through a lot of crap when I did it also, especially when I dated white women. Most of the racism came from bigoted white men. My girlfriend is Chinese, and I haven't experienced any racism with her family or from strangers like I did when I dated white women.

Yes, I have dated various races and was engaged to an Egyptian girl... I broke off the engagement because her family could not accept their daughter marrying a non-Muslim, much less an atheist. There were lots of problems there.

When I was in college, I dated a couple of white guys but once I left, it was back to the brothas. I've also dated a couple of puerto rican men although that didnt' feel like I was dating outside my race for some reason.

I have no opinion about dating white men but I just love the black, puerto rican and dominician brothas.

I have dated, even married, outside my race.

In all honesty, it can matter, culturally. I was told this by a man who was black, that since I made him choose - he had to go with the other lady, because she was black, and culturally they matched. This was his theory.

I cared a great deal about this man, and the break-up was painful - but I don't like to share my man...so...

I don't like dating. But if I will...nothing but the mind matters.

does dating a welsh girl count?...

not to demean the thread or anything

I have dated a brazillian 15 years ago but my family did not like it much. Now I don't care what they like . I grew up ..BTW he and I are THEE best of friends to this day as a matter of fact he called me 4 times the other day. I dated a man from Bosnia and he was very very nice, I dated an man from egypt and he was CRAZY but I liked him, he thought he was superman ...ok, lets see and I dated a guy from Israel and he was very very nice and charming but the one from france, Oh my,,, he forced his first kiss on me... I dumped him QUICK! I almost married a guy from Italy but he was to possessive (jealous) so I had to cut it off. I am not one to be controlled.

If you are more than one race then do you go by the color of your skin?

In this case... I have dated outside of my race...err... largest percent skin color...yummy...

I think that most people will find that when they date outside of their race they are more apt to find people more open, enlightened and uninhibited.

I love open, enlightened and uninhibited.



The lull in the Politics and Religion Forum has caused me to check out the General Discussion Forum...This one caught my eye first. However seeing as how I could not back it up with a researched fact. I dont know if I answered correctly

Oh my God. Heh-heh . It's ok. I forgive you. I don't know about the others though.

I'm Irish, and I've only ever dated Japanese women really (and I'm now married to a Japanese woman).

I've always found the cultural differences and language barrier etc to be great... when you meet someone from a totally different background with different cultural values etc, you can pretty much throw away your preconceptions about each other and get to know each other for who you are. Whereas if I met a woman from my old neighbourhood in Dublin, she'd have her preconceived ideas about who I am, what I earn, my background or whatever. It's nice to be free of that stuff.

Perhaps I should go to the thread about forgiveness and try to have my sin absolved by Ian.

Dear Abbey, do you think it would help?

I'm a product of an interracial dating.

I've always dated whom ever just as long as we were compatible. I have to agree though... there is some cultural conflict at times. Wasn't so much on my part, but theirs. They always seemed to say will it's diffent for you cause your not black, mexican, etc.

Much Love,

That's probably a good idea. it's good to start out with a clean slate .

off course...

If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite
I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight

Talkin' so fast that even they
Talkin' so fast that even they
Don't know what they mean

Of all the things that base a rhyme
How is it that U everytime
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?

Thank God this ain't Monopoly
U'd make us all go back 2 start

Yes.

I am the product of an interracial relationship.

I think my beauty is reason enough for all of you to go out and find partners of a different race, and have beautiful babies!

As 4 me, I had a few crushes on a couple of white boys... but never really took the dating part in2 consideration. I'm like Rhodab I've dated Latinos and Black mostly and in my eyes they're no different except one speaks spanish, If I do date a white guy thoug he has 2 have some soul in him, if u know what I mean

Funny you mention this
because if a latino sees a latina dateing a black guy they are not so hip on that. Well at least where I came from.

I hope Im not 2 late for this thread!!

I myself have always preferred foreign guys 2 my own race(Im British). All British guys think about is football(soccer 2 you US peeps!!!), the pubs and seeing topless women in those trashy newspapers!!! They have no culture, no sense of art or of the Spiritual for that matter!! British guys have no manners, no sense or concept of being a MAN!!! It is a VERY RARE THING indeed 2 meet a guy over here who is the opposite!!

In 1980, while on vacation in the USA eye met a fantastic guy who was Mexican/American!! In 1985 we married and we have been 2gether ever since, despite our cultural differences and we have our ups and downs, but we are still 2gether!! In May of this year we will b married for 18 years!! We are proud parents of a beautiful, unique 16 year old boy!!

In Gods eyes we are all the same, there are no cultural, racial or ethnic boundaries!! It makes no difference where we are from, God loves us all!!

moonangel said:

Well I should it depends ... I have seen this happens with mexicans and Cubans... but like with puerto ricans and domicans, it's all the same 2 me
