Hello All,

I was wondering if you guys have any ethnic leanings when it comes to dating.

I'm talking short term as well so not necessarily who youll have to date to keep your parents and family happy.

I'm Italian in background so I think Ill eventually settle down with an Italian boy but for now Im enjoying learning about different cultures through dating and meeting new people.

TBH there's only one or two ethnicities I wont date both due to the attraction factor and not me hating on them at all. In fact I'm in love with one the said said ethnicity's cuise Yumo! ๐Ÿ™‚

Okay so If im following you, you prefer non-white/black/indian men yes?

Good on your family for not caring, I wish I had it that way but in a weird way the way they are simplifies things for me. I know what I want or at least have been told what I want ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks for the compliment Honey, it says a lot coming from someone as gorgeous as you!

my family, who cares? lol
venus in the 9th โ€“ I love foreign men. middle east.. but can be anything. I love different cultures and languages and everything.
I'm foreign myself, in America, and it's rare that I meet someone of same or similar culture as me.BUT when I do, we always hit it off.

LOL Ie been mistaken for Eurasian but come to think about it only by Asian dudes who stared awkwardly at me at the club for an hour before approaching.

I agree with my girl Lilly that black guys rely on the black thing a bit too much but there's is something so "macho macho" about them.

Im assuming the Eurasian line works well with Asian girls due to their perception of Whites being superior? (We are NOT FTR)

I am attracted to all men.
However, out of all the males I have interacted with, White American males are the most offensive, frustrating and difficult to date.
Too many walls, games, emotionally unavailable and difficult to get close too.
Just when you thought you knocked the wall down, there is an obstacle course waiting ahead.
Very socially awkward males, particularly when it comes to dealing with women of other races.
When they get drunk all hell breaks loose and all that pent up prejudice just comes spilling out.

LOL I forgot that American is an ethnicity ๐Ÿ˜†
american men are funny. I've never dated one but I've heard bad things about that experience. Their absentmindedness, fondness for other women, and the frat boy mentality ehh no thanks lol. I'm just speaking on the ones my age. And I'm talking about black/ African American too. Not Jamaican, African, Haitian or anything.
Well the American men are just ruining it for themselves though. What is all this "side chick" nonsense and calling women "my bitch" and all. LOLLL and they expect that people will want to date them.
I have a good Polish guy. ๐Ÿ™‚
