Does race factor into who you'd date?

actually....men of all races find me repulsive so i guess my opinion doesn't really matter. lol
that's another point. For me, I'm still baffled at how, if there is an African guy in the library (which isn't everyday - but once in a while it happens), there's a 90% chance he will give me the look.

"The look"? What kind of look? How far away was he standing? Did he smile a little? Did he turn away when you looked back?

(Okay, I'm just kidding! I'll stop the psychoanalyzing!)

I don't date black girls. They annoy me. I tried to date one and she wanted a lapdog instead of a boyfriend so I wrote them all off. It's worked well so far.

Well there's not ALL like that! Just because you had a bad experience with Condoleeza Rice . . . .

I can relate. If a guy is interested in me there are one or more of these factors at work:

1. He wants a way to stay in the US
2. He hasn't been around women in a loooooooooooooong time
3. He has the illusion that I can provide him some financial support

I'm all 3, does that mean I'm interested?

I doubt it. I've gained even more weight so even the DESPERATE aren't interested. lol :doh:


how much weight? Can you cook? Nothing wrong with some weight as long as you know what your doing with it. Don't go around sportin a medium shirt when you're a XXL or something. Sometimes when big women wear small shirts they stretch so much I hear the fabric screaming.

wow a lot of girls here have no problem dating latino guys. where do I find these girls IRL?

Green Bay. Trust me, you don't want to come here but the Mexican/Mexican-American immigrants and African-Americans do not have a problem finding dates. Ethnic diversity is new to this area and the locals find it exciting:kiss:. Now we have way more options than all of us boring white people:D

If that's true, I don't think that that's representative. Only a subset (my guess, 25%) of Caucasian women are truly open to being in an interracial relationship.

I'm an XL and I hate tight clothing but I ain't into wearing mumu's either. ^_^

I can sorta cook I guess....I make a mean veggie/beef stew and chili that I could never feed to another human being (unless they like it HOT HOT HOT).

There's other stuff too but I need to get back into practice before giving a verdict. haha

What makes you say that? Where do you get your 25% statistic from? I know way more women than men who will date outside of their ethnicity/race.

That's pretty hard to do in Wisconsin where there AREN'T any men who are minorities!

I totally agree. If you're an African-American man and you like white women....the town where I live is the place to be!!!

Just a side note about 'cultural differences'. There are groups in the caucasian community that I am not attracted to as well....the 'white trash' culture and the 'uber preppy' culture. Both are NOT attractive to me.

I actually agree with you. I haven't found that many women who are willing to date Latino guys IRL and if you go to dating sites like Match.com you will get infinitely more matches if you are Caucasian.

Really? Have you been in Wisconsin lately, other than small cities and towns? Milwaukee has a large African-American population and a growing Latino population. I'm not sure about Madison, but Green Bay has been changing a lot when it comes to ethnic diversity in the last ten years. Green Bay (and nearby cities like Appleton and Manitowac) have a fast growing Mexican/Mexican-American and African-American (especially from Chicago and Milwaukee) populations. Wisconsin is also one of the states (Minnesota another) where a large number of Hmong families came to as a result of an agreement with the US government for helping the US during the Vietnam War.

If it's too hot, you're too pansy!
