Interracial Dating CAN Work...
IOW: Date the person, not the color.
IMHO: People who will only date someone outside their own race are every bit as racist as people who would never date someone outside their own race.

oh jesus. why do people make these threads? ffs.
To generate hits for this website, and keep the $ $ $ flowing in... of, course!
We're in a Depression, after all...

They usually think they have *The Answer*
Besides....someone has to do it 😛
As for IR😱 Seen it work great (almost 20 years), and seen it flame out after a few months.
I think it's easier now that it was 30 years ago -- as long as people are honest about why they want who they want.

I can see perfectly well, thank you 🙂
I've found that asking the questions is often more fun than knowing the answers...
(Nope, not auditioning for Jeopardy - ever.)
Who knew Virgo males could be so controversial. 😉

Agreed ... which is why Elle is racist.

Interesting! I take it that Elle only dates outside her own race?
I have a younger sister who was in an interracial marriage for almost 20 years, before she got tired of him cheating...
So: It failed due to infidelity, and not because of racial differences. After that, she continued to seek out black men, but mainly because her two boys were mixed race. Now that they're grown, she's dated nice guys - regardless of color.

Disagree. Nothing in life is just black and white.
I heard that white men have pink penises tho? is that true, cause that's just gross.

Pink? You've been misinformed. Most of us crackers have cocks that are at least a shade darker than our natural skin tone; and, when aroused, gets darker - more purple than pink...
Mr. D --> The real quiestion is if it's worth it.
THAT sounds Virgo to me...
As though Love & Affection can be plugged into a quadratic equation...
FYI: Many Humans can't help who they fall in love with, which is part of what I meant by color blind.

This thread is turning into a topple white supremacy thread LOL
I'd say the one who cums first is supreme... but then, I'm old school.
Posted by Marrakesha
I've never heard of or seen a white guy or any guy for that matter with a purple dick...that's retarded.
I haven't done a survey of White Penile Erections, but I know in my own case, the head is more purple than pink when ready for action...
Mr. D --> The Taurus was an interracial relationship for me.

We never had a talk about race - the differences were obvious.
We just argued & screwed - a lot (not complaining).

I say that in jest. Whatever do you mean, Marrakesha? Are you hitting on me! Oh my, my English sensibilities are blushing now!
English sensibilities??
Bling - really? Isn't that an oxymoron??

Taurus - my only one.
it always reads rather nicely
Indeed it does. GB Shaw, anyone??
Yeah, Taurus can be tough.
What I see often are Virgo guys trying to make it work with Aries gals... crash & burn!!

Possibly, hah although I guess it would depend on what it was in relation to, but it always reads rather nicely.🙂

Yes... One of my favorite Shaw quips: "The English think they're being religious, when they're merely being uncomfortable."

Haha, maybe, that's somewhat on theme. I had loads of bookmarks on this sort of thing at one point but it's an interesting (blood type related) theory:

Those aren't the best links but there's interesting stuff to be found if you don't buy into the space alien stuff too much, the things like Krishna or Egyptian Deities is interesting though.click to expand
Maybe those people were just hypoxic?

Ahhh, but there are quite a few Aries/Virgos couples that last a long time. I think our signs are soulmates.click to expand
Yeah, I know of one. Don't get me wrong, I understand the attractions, and I always hope that a marriage succeeds. I just see more Cancer & Virgo couples than I do others.

Interracial Marriage and Divorce: The Study
When the topic of interracial dating and marriage is examined, often cited are statistics on the relative frequency of certain marriages, especially compared to others. But what about the durability of these unions? Are interracial marriages more likely to end in divorce than are same-race marriages?
Earlier studies have concluded that, overall, interracial marriages have less duration than same-race marriages. Some of the studies concluded, however, that factors such as educational level (as educational level goes up, the likelihood divorce goes down) and the age at marriage (marriages occurring earlier in life are more likely to end in divorce) had more bearing on the stability of these marriages than the racial differences of the individuals; members of interracial pairings are more likely to have traits correlated with a higher probability of divorce. However, these studies failed to account for gender in connection with the race of each individual in interracial marriages. A recent study published by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) explored this aspect in interracial couples in the United States.
Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, the study analyzed almost 6,000 men and women between the ages of 15-44 who had ever been married, over a period of ten years. Their study found that:
Marriages involving a black husband and white wife were twice as likely to divorce as marriages involving a white husband and white wife. When adjusted for background aspects such as age at marriage and educational level, differences between black male/white female marriages and white male/white female marriages virtually disappeared in some cases. This suggests that, contrary to prior findings, the higher rate of interracial divorce between black male/white female marriages is not due to background factors.
Asian male/white female marriages were 59 percent more likely to end in divorce than white male/white female marriages.
Marriages involving a white husband and black wife were substantially less likely to end in divorce than marriages involving a white husband and white wife; the former pairing??s divorce rate was 44 percent less than the latter.

Marriages involving a white husband and black wife were substantially less likely to end in divorce than marriages involving a white husband and white wife; the former pairing??s divorce rate was 44 percent less than the latter.
Couples composed of a white husband and Asian wife were 4 percent more likely to end in divorce than marriages involving a white husband and white wife.
Hispanic white/non-Hispanic white and Asian/white marriages were more liable to divorce than those of in-married Hispanic whites and Asians.
Marriages including a black husband and white wife were more prone to divorce than those composed of black husbands and black wives. Black male/white female couples also had the highest likelihood of divorce of all white/non-white marriages.
While interracial marriage correlates to a higher rate of divorce, this parallel applies mainly to marriages involving a non-white male and white female.
This study seems to both contradict and confirm popular beliefs about gender, race and marriage. What do you think of the results? Do you agree or disagree with the findings? What factors could be influencing the striking gender differences in divorce rates of interracial couples?

Also, I have a lot more than just SOME blackness in my background. Majority of my background IS black.
Along those lines: What percentage of non-white blood makes one in a Minority? If a person is 15% black, are they black?
