If I were to ever be on the dating scene again I would prefer those who prefer to date interracial. I'm not looking for games. I don't want to be some one's fix who just wants to test it out nor do like being a race that the person doesn't generally like but I'm their exception. I'd just rather be what their looking for in the first place.
Yeah, any relationship has some risk involved. Look at this link for instance. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/...-brand-divorce-divorcing-split_n_1176737.html
I don't know I have dated women who have dated black men before and they all seem to believe we are all connected by dress, speak, music tastes... ...I think I enjoy learning a person and having that person learn me. And I LOATH the stereotypical "Wigga chicks"....
WTF ... can you say scary? Damn, I have never seen it taken to quite that level before (except maybe on Mad TV). :smt103
That's pretty cool. I like that too. I don't mind dating a guy who hasn't dated white women before as long as he is open to it and wants it. I don't want another situation where the guy wasn't looking to date a white woman, it just kind of happened and in the end, he couldn't handle it.
It makes sense to me that there is probably a subsection of WW dating BM who assume that all BM have the same "culture" so to speak, when culture is as much a function of socio-economic background, education, political persuasion etc. as it is of race. A BM who grew up in an upper middle class environment and attended private schools and an Ivy League college is not going to have the same "culture" as a BM who grew up in the inner city, and dropped out of high school at 16.
Been saying this for years thank you and great to have you posting again. You have been seriously missed.
A person who has done 'it' before may be more accustomed to the travails if they present themselves, but a previous history/pattern can also be indicative of a fetish, which is probably not helpful in a relationship either. I don't think I have a preference one way or the other.
Yes, I would be willing to date someone who hadn't had an interracial relationship before, but I would probably agree with Inner Beauty in that I would "prefer" someone who has. I've only been in one interracial relationship and I liked the fact that he had experience in this area. What kinds of experiences has everyone had with their families being open to interracial relationships? Mine wasn't thrilled at first, but once they met him and saw that he was a good guy they seemed to like him. Although, I can imagine that they might be relieved that this relationship just ended and I'm wondering if they think it was just "a phase" or something. ~sigh~
Dating someone right now who has changed my position on this totally. Even I have to admit I was wrong on this topic. If you find someone who is open minded enough the concept of race isn't an issue at all for you. I think I'm also getting to/gotten to an age where less people are concerned about how their families feel about they do which takes giant pressure off of me. So now I'd be open to whoever
To me it doesn't matter if she has or hasn't. The main goal for me is to create a world that we both exist in and benefit from. If we bond then family and what others think or feel about us should become irrelevant. A true loving relationship should feel like an incredible love movie.
the question asked in the thread is like an employer putting in their job announcement "4 years experience necessary for this position"
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. If she's my type I would date her no matter if she dated interracial before or not.
The only kind of diverse relationship my mother doesn't tolerate is wwbm. However, my mom also knows that I do what I want, so she has learned to keep it to herself. She would prefer an African-American woman or Latina, but she realizes that she doesn't make those choices for me. I love my mother, but I couldn't care less what she thinks.
