Yes, but that is a very single-minded view though, as though you may relate to people of your own race better.
It is very interesting to embrace the topics of other cultures, and if anything, dating a person of another culture provides a lot more conversation topis and you can learn a lot.
They call people you're other half for a reason, that reason is that you are meant to be two different people, that put together make a whole, knowledgable being. But as one, as a half, there are skills each of you lack, and knowledge that you don't know.

I actually don't like J-lo (bleh) but I would date most latina girls I come across. I think the key part of this constraint is culture. A person of your own skin tone in more likely to have had experiences in life similer to yours so your more likely to know where each other is coming from. Wiht other races depending on where those folks are from it's like trying to date someone from another planet

Yeah, well there's always those ideal girls that everyone would date, the likes of Beyonce, Kelly Brook, Kristen Kreuk or J-Lo!
It's just in general. I jus't can't see why people constrain themselves. Like love is such a free thing, it is not meant to be consrained by looks or skin colours. If we weren't meant to date inter-racially, then all inter-racial babies would die, but they don't they're fine and healthy!

Yeah, that's unfortunately very true, Dave. To be honest, I think I'm somewhat guilty of it myself. My theory is that we're somewhat dispositioned to seek out romantic partners whose physical attributes are somewhat similar to ours, much in the same way that we're more likely to respond positively to politicians with physical attributes similar to ours.

So, would I personally date a girl of another race? Yes. But I admit she'd have to be very pretty and do a lot to get through to me, because, like you said (horrible as it sounds), my eyes tend to roll right over girls of different races. Actually, that's not totally accurate...I've found that for whatever reason, I'm a lot more physically attracted to girls of certain not-white races than others. Of course, I speak in the most broad, generalized terms possible. The Victoria's Secret angels come in all sorts of ethnicities and skin colors, and I can't name one of them I wouldn't date. Razz

That's rather intresting dave

I've always held that race beyond the human race doesn't exist so the idea of dating someone of another skin color doesn't bother me to much but your right that most people tend to keep to their own when it comes to skin tone
