Dating outside your race..

Contributor: Nirelan Nirelan
I know a lot of people that think it is just WRONG to date outside of your race, BUT I have and have no regrets.....I got my daughter out of it and I love her to death....some people are just ignorant about such things and those are the people I pity. If you just aren't attracted is one thing, but to be racist about it is a whole other thing.

I find light colored eyes (blue, green, grey, hazel) to be more attractive than brown (I have brown eyes) along with long dark hair. That's not to say I don't find brown eyed, blonde women attractive - they're just not my type.

I'm actually more inclined towards non-Caucasian women (except red heads and tall blondes). I'd rather date non-American women too.

Race doesn't matter to me when it comes to choosing a relationship.

I don't think anything is wrong with dating outside of someone's race.

I'm pretty much only attracted to my own race, but that doesn't mean I would rule something out based on that. It's all about respect and love and not so much about what someone looks like!

Oh yes I would date out of my race. Nothing wrong with that from me.

We are all people, we are all the same. The outside never matters. Or at least it should NOT!

I have no problems with others doing it, and I've dated outside of my own race in the past, but I tend to be more attracted to my own race in general. My hubby is also white (and also part Irish!!!) and my girlfriend is black.

Yes, I know right?! It really hurts...I hate to admit it, but it still affects me to this day even though it happened to me a long time ago. His mother, sister, and father actually liked me, but the rest of his relatives would treat me very badly at family get-togethers. I just stopped going after a while.

Hey, that's the same mixture my ex-boyfriend was lol. Mine, however, was a lying and cheating bastard that used me for almost five years. I'm glad you found someone that loves you for who you are and the same goes for your brother's girlfriend! Hopefully, one day I'll meet someone regardless of skin color that will treat me the way I deserve to be treated.

I don't care one way or the other - love is love And actually, I've never even been hit on by someone outside my race, but I wouldn't be against it at all. I like someone for who they are, not the color of their skin.

I'm attracted to all sorts of people. Never really thought of it being possible to limit it to a specific identity type, whether based on race, gender, background, whatever. Growing up, I was raised with one side of my family being interracial while the other is still pretty racist: my grandmother told me from a young age the kinds of difficulties my children would have if I married a man of another race, and my mom had to break up with a boyfriend of hers that she really liked when she was in high school because he was black (she was afraid that her family would treat him poorly).

Personally, I have no issue with interracial dating. There should be no issue with it, period. People are people. I'm just mainly embarrassed that I come from a family where it has been looked down upon in the past.

I certainly find people of other races attractive, although I have never dated outside my race. I have no problem with it, I've just been out of the dating pool for a really long time.

On a side note, I recall reading a newspaper article a while back urging black women in my city to consider interracial relationships, because according to the most recent census black women apparently vastly outnumber black men here. Oddly enough, nearly all the interracial couples I see walking around when I go out are black men with some other race. Just thought that was interesting.

I don't have any issue with it. I'm attracted to people of all races.

I've dated someone who was a different race, but I didn't really think about it at the time. Did get some odd looks (live in a small rural town)

I have been attracted to persons outside my skin color but I have never had the opportunity to actually follow up on that attraction. I definitely would if I had the opportunity. I tend not to see color, I like the person.

I'm white and dating a Latin@ person. Race has never been a particularly notable factor in my attraction to people, though it does have different social effects than dating within my race would. No one in my family cares, they are more concerned with me dating smart, musical people than with the race of said people.

Coming from the south- I'll admit that my family hasn't always been accepting of it- but I've dated more people outside of my race- than an it. Tbh though- they had more of an issue with my first girlfriend being well... a girl. than her being latina.

I think how a person treats you should be the deciding factor if you should be with them or not.

And I'm curious why some "believers" think that interracial dating/marriage is a sin...I must have missed out on that scripture...
