    It's fine. I never thought I was do it myself, but as I get older I am much more open to it. I think because I've always been exposed to the idea that it is weird. It is interesting how difficult it is to move past certain subconsciously ingrained values (although many will pretend they can easily, and never admit they can't). That's why progress basically waits for generations to die off. But anyways, I don't have a problem with it and it becomes more normal as time goes on.

    I always judge based on the person, not the race. Interracial dating isn't a problem to me.

    I question the logic behind posting such a thread. I mean, what do you expect the answers to be? Obviously everyone is going to go and say that they're okay with it, even if they aren't.

    *thread* - Maybe, if the person is worth all the trouble, and there will be trouble. For a myriad of reasons i won't go into. Due to the way society "works" today, it's not something that can simply be ignored. Even small things like the clashing of cultures, can wreak havoc in a relationship. So, should you have a choice, why bother going through with it.

    It's not an issue. A person's race has no weight on whether I would date them or not

    This should not even be a thread, oh my God. It's not as if dating someone of a different ethnicity is like dating someone from an entirely different species. And if anyone in this day and age has a problem with it or think it's weird, they need to sit down for a few hours and reevaluate their life. Goodness gracious.

    as if anyone's going to say "yeah I'm fine with same-sex relationships but interracial is wrong"

    //

    that said, I'm perfectly fine with it. I don't really see how it's relevant at all.

    We live in a time where its ok to be gay and date all races. Some a very small number of people may have a problem with it but a lot of people don't even care if you're not white on white or black on black

    I think it's okay. Was there any particular reason for the question?

    I'm not racist at all, but I wouldn't date someone from a different race, especially here, not because of skin color but because of customs/beliefs/religion differences. (Waits for the haters to come) I see nothing wrong with it, just to clarify, I'm just saying I wouldn't do it myself.

    Is this deja vu? Is this similar to another controversial thread that just ran?

    However, this one left the station without rattling too many cages, so it's all good.

    For a relationship to work, most experts agree that there needs to be a combination of compatibility and physical attraction. I'm open to being friends with just about anyone, but I need for someone to turn my crank on a fairly consistent basis to consider them for the long haul, and I've posted examples of types I'm attracted to. Maybe I'm limiting myself. Maybe I should rethink this. I tense up when I see someone that fetches my attention on a more visceral level. A good friend of mine observed that in me and pointed it out to me. I guess I'll let that be my guide that I find someone interesting.

    ---------- Post added 14th Nov 2014 at 09:15 AM ----------

    I'm sort of saying the same thing. I have fairly specific patterns of attraction that might exclude some people. It's nothing personal. As for what others like and do, I don't care.

    It's OK of course.

    I am not going to date someone just because it's a different race...which is what some people assumed in my last thread BUT I wouldn't mind at all black guys or asian/black women.
    Though I admit i don't feel attracted to asian men but not saying it won't happen some day...i mean i've seen some japanese male rock stars who kinda have the appeal but they just don't attract me in a sexual way....yet.

    Yes. Or as I like to call it, "dating".

    Race isn't something that I even think about when it comes to choosing a partner.
