Why does dating always have to be about race?
cherry asked:
I am puerto-rican. I would like to date an asian guy but it seems like they always stick with their own. I barely see any white guys with latina girls either. Is their any race (besides fellow hispanic guys which I’ve dated plenty of) that would be interested in dating a latina? Or will it always have to be about my race?

It doesn’t always have to be about race…… well its depending on the person.

Maybe you just haven’t found the right guy. I have seen both white and black men dating Hispanic women.

seems like the only one hung up on race is you.

You seem to be the one who is focusing too much on race. I know plenty white and black guys who love latinas. Keep YOUR mind open, and don’t assume that other people are focusing on your race. Good people are good people, it doesn’t matter what skintone they have.

be patient. If you’re sexy, guys will be all over you soon. Do you wear makeup? I don’t think so many guys CARE so long as you’re pretty

i think that it differs from person to person.

I don’t think so… especially in a multiracial community like where I live, you get a lot of mixed-race couples. I guess it depends on where you live and the mindset of the people who live there.

We as a human race are only limited by our minds and the boundaries we put on ourselves and each other.
Be happy, whoever that is with….so, don’t give up, I hope you find that special someone.

go for what you like, not the race.. you can’t say that they “stick to theier own”, maybe that guy just likes someone else

I think a lot of times it has more to do with dating people that were raised similar to you. It’s not that way with everyone, but it does offer a certain area of comfort when you are very familiar with a person’s history (culturally speaking).

It doesn’t have to be an issue, unless the parties involved makes it one. Who cares about what other narrow-minded people think? Do you really need their approval? I am a Chinese -American who believes that a person’s character determines his worth, not the color of his skin.

I dont think its always about race. Im arab/british and ive dated indian,a few different arabs and african…. I think it depends on the people you meet and how open and willing they are to try out different races. Some people tend to stick to their own race because they find it easier to co-operate – their mentatlily is very similar. I dont find that always the same. Im half arab/british and therefore i have a very diverese mentality compared to most arabs or british races…so therefore i beleive it dpends on the people most of all.
Im sure ull find ppl willing to date other races

it’s just your community. there are lots of white guys who like to date latinas around here.

Your crazy….maybe guys just don’t want to date you…..about race?….not all people stick to there own race when it comes to dating…..and not all people stick to a specific race when dating………maybe you shouldn’t think about race, but think about who is actually interested in you….that might help.

I don’t think dating should be about race…. it really just depends on an individual’s personal preference. I’m white, and I’ve dated guys from every race. Looks aren’t as important to me as personality is.
Good luck finding the right guy for you though! And good luck to every other man or woman who hasn’t found their “special someone” yet!

look @ JLO’s variety of men in the past -it should be about finding someone your compatable w/ not about race

not always, i tend to date based on level of skin pigment, no offense to anyone i just don’t find dark skin attractive, i won’t date a white person if they are overly tanned… Its not about race its about what you find attractive. If you wish to date an Asian person then I’m sure you can find an Asian guy that likes Latinas

I know plenty of white guys who would LOVE to date a latina!!

That sucks! You just have to find someone who is into you. I mean it should never be about race. I think nowadays we more and more interracial dating than ever. And society is more open to it. But you do still have people living in the dark ages. Like most of my friend are in interacial relationships, married with the mixed kids and all and its a beautiful thing. My ex was Dominicana, and though she broke my heart, it was a great experience. Hit up the spots where you see alot of the interacial thing happening and just fall into the mix!!!

It’s not about race. It’s about a power struggle to lure women or men into complying with their gratification. much like a sand trap.

I work with Asians. A female Asian said she could not love anyone that was not Asian. I never got a chance to ask her why.
As a white male I would date any race. My father on the other hand would be hard pressed to accept that. There could be many factors: ignorance, race preservation, peer pressure, family upbringing, bad experiences with other races and prejudices.
I believe just be yourself and those attracted to you will let it be known. Maybe have the courage to ask them yourself.
Trying to date someone that is not interested in interacial dating would probably end in disaster. It is very unlikely they would change and would be a waste of your time to try.

People (on the whole) tend to be attracted to people that look like them. Maybe it’s innate. Maybe that’s what we’re used to.
But there are always exceptions to the rule… I’ve never actually dated within my own race, strictly. You’ll find someone.

I think Latinas are sexy! I’d date one given the chance!
