Yay culture! So long as it's nice to everyone.... er.... :/
If it isn't nice, I don't consider it culture; it's me.:p

Dakini, of course.
Why? Do you need one?

*waits for BritSter to say it before me*

NO, I don't. Really. I don't.

What do you mean by attraction? To me, it includes much more than the corporeal form: it's also a matter of intelligence, wit, humor, and a moderately fun spirit. I took a test once about to what women I am best suited. Results: curvy and naughty.:D
*runs off to find exact results*
Physical beauty alongside intelligence, wit, humor and a fun spirit, as well as a thirst for knowledge. Demanding, I know.

*waits for BritSter to say it before me*

NO, I don't. Really. I don't.
Oh, yeah...everytime I see a fluffle, a puppy drowns...
I should put that in my sig. Just to let people know...

I just find it so odd that people would only be attracted to those of the same pigment colour and/or culture.

but more often than not, I'd rather date someone with a similar culture.

My first girlfriend was ethnically Korean, but she was raised by French Canadians in Upper Michigan, so if anything she was culturally more "white" than I was.

As to whether or not I would marry someone of another "race", I certainly would. I've been attracted to women of every ethnic group at some point or another.

Physical beauty alongside intelligence, wit, humor and a fun spirit, as well as a thirst for knowledge. Demanding, I know.
Physical beauty tends to be a about halfway down the list. Of course, that's because some of those derive from the thirst for knowledge. Y'know, I think we may have more in common than I imagined I'd ever find in the whole of NSG. That or you've just got what I like figured out, in which case, homosexuals can be as intuitive as the stereotypes claim.:D
Oh, and I found the results:

The Tits, Ass, and Cuteness Test
Curvy and Naughty
Raw score: 55% Big Breasts, 63% Big Ass, and 48% Cute!
http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/chicken_pot_pie/jolie.jpg

Thanks for taking the T and A and C test! Based on your selections, the results are clear: you show an attraction to larger breasts, larger asses, and sexier composures than others who've taken the test.

Note that you like women overall curvier than average.

My third variable, "cuteness" is a mostly objective measure of how innocent a given model looked. It's determined by a combination of a lot of factors: lack of dark eye makeup, facial expression, posture, etc. If you scored high on that variable, you are either really nice OR you're into deflowering teens. If you scored low, you are attracted to raunchier, sexier, women. In your case, your lower than average score suggests you appreciate a sexier, naughtier look. Kudos!

*waits for BritSter to say it before me*

NO, I don't. Really. I don't.
Good. You male or female, btw?

Oh, yeah...everytime I see a fluffle, a puppy drowns...

I don't like puppies anyway.:D :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Female. This has been established on a few other threads.
Besides, how many guys would choose a Jane Austen book for their ID? :p

Eh, I dunno about that one, raised by French Canadians? Thats worse than being raised by wolves.

I just find it so odd that people would only be attracted to those of the same pigment colour and/or culture.

Its actually a quite common feeling. Ever been to Stormfront? Or the South?

I don't like puppies anyway.:D :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:
Fantastic! I think that we are going to get on well...
PS. I'm female.

I just find it so odd that people would only be attracted to those of the same pigment colour and/or culture.

Actually, I'm not quite as pale as those I prefer. *shakes fist at high school yearbook signing event and Jenny's post grad party* It isn't exclusive to them, just a minor preference. As for the culture, well, I think I addressed that already by saying I like to learn about all sorts of culture. It's delightfully fascinating.

I just find it so odd that people would only be attracted to those of the same pigment colour and/or culture.
Likes tend to attract to likes. I'm not sure if it's really that odd...maybe a part of human nature? Not sure. I know that I myself am only attracted to other whites, and I usually prefer other anglo or germanic cultures.

Female. This has been established on a few other threads.

Well, I wasn't in those threads, and I don't like operating on assumptions. At least that explains the matchmaking.;)

That's partly why I asked. I would if it meant something to me. But I'll stick to politically offensive titles, thank you very much.:D

Just a difference in gender. *shrugs* Yeah it was fun. IIRC, it was all pictures.:D

That's one I hadn't seen before...

Its actually a quite common feeling. Ever been to Stormfront? Or the South?
Well I can't speak too loudly...aboriginal people in Canada at least have an inter-marriage rate of about 94%, so I'm kind of an odd one out...second generation out-marriage. That being said, I think that if my husband were to die suddenly, I'd marry a Cree...at that point I'd be too old to go through the whole 'getting used to another culture' thing. It's a bit rough.

No, the matchmaking was all BritSter's fault on another thread! ...
<_<
>_>

er... actually, it might be Kuli's fault, now that I think about it... but that would be a long story that I'm sure BritSter doesn't want related here...

Eh, I dunno about that one, raised by French Canadians? Thats worse than being raised by wolves.
As a man whose name, if followed back far enough, translates into "wolf with shield," I take offence to that,sir. The only thing worse than being raised by French Canadians, is being raised by politicians or the French themselves. I couldn't figure out which of those was worse, so I mentioned both.

Its actually a quite common feeling. Ever been to Stormfront? Or the South?
Quite so, because people don't like/too afraid to leave their little world to explore the plurality that makes humanity so fascinating. Don't you think so, Sin?

Likes tend to attract to likes. I'm not sure if it's really that odd...maybe a part of human nature? Not sure. I know that I myself am only attracted to other whites, and I usually prefer other anglo or germanic cultures.
Who I'm attracted to depends on intellect and physicality. Culture and pigmentation don't have that much to do with it.

Fantastic! I think that we are going to get on well...
PS. I'm female.
LOL I know. I WAS in at least one thread where your gender was pertinent. Prolly teasing me there, too.;)

Why wouldn't I? It was I who rejected Kuli's fluffles. Twice! I despise that blithering idiot. He sickens me! I don't want to marry him...*sobs*

By aborginal Canadians do you mean the Indians?

And what, exactly, is a Cree?

Can I get the link to that test?
No...but I can give you a link and tell you how to find it. Go here (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take) and select the link to see all tests, wherever that is, then search for the title I posted.

I meant the whole fluffle-mate, and hijacking the thread for a few pages of fluffling, but okay...

Aw, come on, I was implying that you two were already married. ;) Which of course, would beg the question of why he'd want to be my fluffle-mate...

Sure she does. And you would be quite happy to relate it here in this thread.





Or you can TG me.

To me, culture is a bit of a side bonus to consider after intellect and other psychological standards are established.

I despise blithering idiots too. *sits down to left and pats back gently*
I also like to call people blithering idiots.... *begins to massage shoulders and say random consoling things*

It's probably illegal by forum standards.

Well, atleast we agree on that.
Sure do.:D
Oh, another arbitrary thing. I also like a woman who appreciates the beauty of thunderstorms. Again not necessary, just a preference.

Really? I've only met one woman who liked thunderstorms and isn't my four-year-old sister. I miss Deanna.:( She was one hot, witty Native. *sighs heavily*

I did a little bit of reading on race relations, and noticed the slow, yet steady, climb in the rates of interracial marriage. Arguments on this issue run the gammut of praise and support, to accusations of dilluting the gene pool and "genocide".

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?
definitely without a doubt.

Of course I love them! It's hard to explain, and as I tried, it sucked, so I've deleted it and just decided to say that it's hard to explain.

I think it's easy to explain: You have a natural affinity for thunderstorms. That's how I explain it. Oh, and Deanna's sister. She might have liked thunderstorms. I don't remember if I ever asked her. But that's just not the same as Deanna.:( At any rate, we could turn to astrology, but I don't really know anything about that.

Nope. As, Pride and Prejudice said, Homo sapiens is the binomial for the species. Homo sapiens sapiens is the proper trinomial for the race. And subspecies is exactly race by it's very definition - look it up in a taxonomy handbook...

The existance of races of our subspecies is under debate. So saying humans is a race would be incorrect, I think.




race: a subdivision of a biological species coincident with a geographic region and presumably the resultant of environmental peculiarities : a geographic subspecies — called also geographical variety


A geographic subspecies seems subordinate to subspecies...



Subspecies: a taxonomic subdivision of a species. A group of organisms whose behavior and/or genetically encoded morphological and physiological characteristics differ from those of other members of their species. Members of different subspecies of the same species are potentially capable of breeding with each other and of producing fertile offspring. However, animals of different subspecies of the same species may not interbreed even if there is no geographical impediment. Differences in appearance and behavior often prevent members of different subspecies from recognizing each other as potential sex partners. This is especially true for animals with complicated sexual rituals. Members of different species are either incapable of reproducing, or will produce infertile offspring.

I'd marry an elf though. :) (or be one...<.<)

Their pointy ears are sexy, yeah?

Goblins don't have a Nordic look really. It's more of a Nordic demon look. Just doesn't work for me.

If you want to marry a fantasy creature, it should be a succibus. They can change their shape into anything you desire...yes, even goblins Europa! ;) I want to know if there is such a thing as a man-succibus though. I've never heard of one...

Duh...Incubus. Far less powerful than their female counter-parts, yet equally seductive. And quite frankly, I'd stick with an Elf. <.<

Oh, yeah...everytime I see a fluffle, a puppy drowns...

Nope, succubi only come in the female version. That would make you more of a siren, though, wouldn't it?

I don't know if i want to get married at all but if i do, it will be because i love the guy, skin color won't matter one iota. I have a tendency to be physically attracted to guys with darker features, especially hispanic guys, and i don't often find Asian guys (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) physically attractive, though i have no problem with them as people, but when it comes to emotional attraction, none of that matters.

Duh...Incubus. Far less powerful than their female counter-parts, yet equally seductive. And quite frankly, I'd stick with an Elf. <.<
But that isn't called a succubus. According to that test I posted;) , I think I'd do pretty well with a succubus.

Seeing as my parents did it, I most likely would.

I wouldn't, but only because I'm not really attracted to men of a different race. There are the odd couple who make it through (Gary Dourdan, Lenny Kravitz.... mmmm....) but I mostly just fancy white guys. Do Italian men count? I would marry an Italian. Or maybe I'd just do him. Lots and lots and lots...

Summon a succibus or marry someone of a different race?

I wouldn't have a problem with it. My fiance was Costa Rican and I"m Russian, jewish, Romanian, American indian, and norwegian. And Texan.

If I love them, sure.

The latter.

As long as she's not Jewish...

Well, I didn't know if they were a different "race" as such... just YUMMY. God I want one now. I want this one:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d606b3127cce9bf180420ec000000015109AbtnDFy3au

Shame... we could have had a great future. Except he didn't speak English and I didn't speak Italian. We both spoke French though. Meh... I wouldn't want it turning out like Robert Succo.

Well duh, of course they are white. Hot guy too.

Tell me about it! I absolutely adore pale skin. Tan is so passe, and not to mention unattractive. Too bad pale died with the Renaissance. :/

I'm not attracted to non-whites neither, although there are few exceptions. However I think putting white powder is a tad too extreme :p
Tan can be sexy.

Well duh, of course they are white. Hot guy too.

Oh I know... took all my strength not to jump himright then and there.... and he could sing!

On occassions, and on the right person, yes. :)

It is a part of human nature. There's a section about that within the Social Psychology chapter of my psych book... if only I wasn't so lazy....

Hey, I never left Amman to begin with. ^^

But if you were? One beautiful day, skipping out of your trailer, you see the most beautiful... eh, non-white you've ever seen, and her radiance put even the whitest of the white to shame... or something.

Then what?

I am choosy regardless of color. But I do not use skin color as a primary criterion for who I date, sleep with or consider having a long term relationship with.

I tend to be less attracted to darker skin color, but I would jump Prince (or let Prince jump me) in a heartbeat. I think of that particular issue as a hangover from being raised by an old school white southerner, and I have worked very hard to eliminate the last vestiges of that prejudice out of my system.

On the flip side, I am incredibly attracted to certain skin tones (Asian, Sabine and other exotic looks), but again it's all part of my weird emotional mix.

On the physical side I tend to like guys whose build is small or medium, like a runner or swimmer. I don't understand it.

I'm 6'1", vary between 180 and 200 lbs and am considered to be "bearish", so go fig.

<chuckle> Oh, man...thinking about Prince has made me hot... ;)

I'm the child of inter-racial marriage, so in order to marry within my race, would I have to marry another half Asian? In other words no (and I'm dating a Columbian anyway).

If you want to marry a fantasy creature, it should be a succibus. They can change their shape into anything you desire...yes, even goblins Europa! ;) I want to know if there is such a thing as a man-succibus though. I've never heard of one...

Yes, the male version of a succubus is called an incubus.

Maybe it goes down to reproduction again? People wanting thier children to look like themselves?

No, it's true even for friends, etc. And I was referring to the subconscious tendencies....

Oh oh. In response to the original question, I'd so so so do that. Marry someone of another race, that is. It doesn't really matter what race a person is but I've always loved diversity for some reason.

Already am, and hopefully it will lead to marriage.

Sadly, when walking down the street hand in hand with my girlfriend, we often get 'looks' from passers-by - be they Asian, black, white, whatever.

I firmly plan to, yes. :p

I'm white (English), she has Sri Lankan parents but was born in England and has lived here her whole life.

I'm only into black girls to begin with, so yes.

No, I will do everything I can to keep the purity of the race. I refuse to have a mutt as a child.

What can I say? I am the epitome of laziness.

Love has no colour...

And yes, if I get satisfaction and some hot lovin from my partner then no, I wouldn't give a damn what ethnicity my spouse is.

You're asking me if I'd marry a hot asian boy if I could get my hands on one?

You can bet your frickin ass I would! :D

If theoretically, I were to marry again, for some reason... absolutely. I tend to be highly attracted to some korean men specially. (Not Japanese, not chinese, Korean.) Mmmm... plus, they make the lovliest babies. I want a korean baby.

Probably not. Although I find asians and some lighter-skinned blacks attractive, I only ever get infatuated with white girls. >_>

as long as i got buttsex its AOK in my book!:fluffle:

Well, when your first serious, longterm relationship is with someone of a different race, you sure as hell would have no problems with marrying someone of another race. :)

I'd be really, and I mean REALLY surprised if I ever got a baby from an asian man. Or any man, from that matter.

But I do find japanese and chinese men to be particularly attractive. I think it has to do with their golden skin, or lovely shape of their eyes. Or their delicate traits. Or their quality of looking younger longer. Or...

*trails off in elogious epiteths about asian men*

Nope. As, Pride and Prejudice said, Homo sapiens is the binomial for the species. Homo sapiens sapiens is the proper trinomial for the race. And subspecies is exactly race by it's very definition - look it up in a taxonomy handbook...

The existance of races of our subspecies is under debate. So saying humans is a race would be incorrect, I think.

Seeing as race is subspecies, no, there isn't. You may wish to debate the classification of Homo sapiens idaltu or of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis as race/subspecies, but if you exclude them, you're left with only one race.

race: a subdivision of a biological species coincident with a geographic region and presumably the resultant of environmental peculiarities : a geographic subspecies — called also geographical variety




Subspecies: a taxonomic subdivision of a species. A group of organisms whose behavior and/or genetically encoded morphological and physiological characteristics differ from those of other members of their species. Members of different subspecies of the same species are potentially capable of breeding with each other and of producing fertile offspring. However, animals of different subspecies of the same species may not interbreed even if there is no geographical impediment. Differences in appearance and behavior often prevent members of different subspecies from recognizing each other as potential sex partners. This is especially true for animals with complicated sexual rituals. Members of different species are either incapable of reproducing, or will produce infertile offspring.


A geographic subspecies seems subordinate to subspecies...

Nope. They are exactly the same thing.
Re-re those defintions, as they're saying the same thing. (The term geographic is used because that's the primary reason the two subspecies dont't breed.)

But if you were? One beautiful day, skipping out of your trailer, you see the most beautiful... eh, non-white you've ever seen, and her radiance put even the whitest of the white to shame... or something.

Then what?

There was me thinking people came pre-wired with their preferences of what attracted them.

They like torturing their victims too...so if he's kinky, then perfect for him. :p
Nope, it'd be the seductress part that does it. As someone informed the rest of you who did not know, succubi can become what you want to lure you. If there really is a Hell in the Judeo-Christian sense, then I'm certainly bound for it anyway. Frankly, I think I'd thrive there and become the top demon general....

I am going to do just that very soon. That is, marry someone of a different race, no inverted commas.

Lol, You wish :p
No, I prolly would. I'm fairly balanced now to keep my options open, but if I converted to either extreme, I'd be the best at it. I couldn't stand being anything less. Speaking of demons, we didn't celebrate your 666th post. We were too busy evaluating our relationship.;) :D

I don't know. I'm very rarely attracted to those with non-caucasian facial features. I'm not sure colour of skin plays a big part in this, though, since I've been attracted to mixed-race individuals that look caucasian, but have darker skin. I'm fairly certain it's influenced by my upbringing. I've not encountered many minorities in my lifetime.

The stupid little untermensch's IQ was proportional to his height...so hardly a surprise.
Negatively so, I must say.

No, it's true even for friends, etc. And I was referring to the subconscious tendencies....
Maybe it's a matter of belonging. People want people like themselves so they feel less lonely, as though they have some pillar of strength to help them through life. Comes down to superficial tendencies, in that case. Pluralism pwns.

I come from a teeny tiny island originally, where I lived for 18-19 years until I broke freeeeeeee! So I'm prolly in the same situation. Although, having said that, one of my closest friends when I was a young child right up until a couple of years ago (when she left for America) is black. Well, mixed race, but you wouldn't know, she's quite dark and has black facial features. Weird thing is, because I came from that type of place, I always notice someone's ethnicity, but not her's. It doesn't even strike me that she's black, I just don't notice it. I think it's strange, anyway.

Hinting at my return to the thread which implicated us as an electronically married couple. ; ) Besides, sounded good at the time.

Sure I would.

Not as if I have much choice in the matter.
Considering how convoluted my family-tree is, the only person of the same race as mine is my sister.
( Who is middle-aged, and married as well ).

There was me thinking people came pre-wired with their preferences of what attracted them.
There are elements of both genetics and nurture.

No, I will do everything I can to keep the purity of the race. I refuse to have a mutt as a child.

Awwww, how cute. We've got another white supremacist on our hands!

Goood perhaps free Puppets will die childless and then thats more shit genes got rid off.

This is probably very difficult for many of you to understand, but even if I were to love someone from another race, I would never marry them. I would rather marry a white women I didn't love, than a women from another race I did love. Only white women for me. This is of course ignoring the fact that it would be very nearly impossible for me to love a women from another race. And no this isn't racism. Freedom of choice right? Some people choose to marry farm animals, and I choose only to marry white women. I don't see the problem in that.

You're right. I don't understand at all. You could be missing something truly awe-inspiring. I think the problem is that you don't understand how strong love is. If you did fall in love with a "non-white" woman, you'd probably change your mind after lots of sleepless nights emotionally bludgeoning yourself. That or you'd kill yourself because of the inner conflict....

That's another point. There is no consenssus that HSI is a subspecies of HS, it can be another species in Homo genus.


In modern taxonomy, Homo sapiens is the only extant species of its genus, Homo. Likewise, the ongoing study of the origins of Homo sapiens often demonstrates that there were other Homo species, all of which are now extinct. While some of these other species might have been ancestors of H. sapiens, many were likely our "cousins", having speciated away from our ancestral line. There is not yet a consensus as to which of these groups should count as separate species and which as subspecies of another species. In some cases this is due to the paucity of fossils, in other cases it is due to the slight differences used to distinguish species in the Homo genus.



H. sapiens idaltu
Lived from about 160 TYA (proposed subspecies). Is the oldest anatomically modern human known.


http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/human%20evolution




Nope. They are exactly the same thing.
Re-re those defintions, as they're saying the same thing. (The term geographic is used because that's the primary reason the two subspecies dont't breed.)


Obviously, they are a less profound, but still real, form of physical difference between human races than homosapiens "subspecies". The fact that modern biology "defines" races as equivalent to subspecies is just arbitrary dogma, not science. There is no experimental observation that proves that races are equivalent to subspecies, nor could there by, as definitions are not empirical facts. One can define words to mean whatever one wants, subject to the constraint of actual usage.

A source would be nice. Because every taxonomy I've seen that mentions race defines it as subspecies. And if you simply wish to dismiss it as "arbitrary dogma", you'll have to substitute a more valid taxon....

I am going to do just that very soon. That is, marry someone of a different race, no inverted commas.

Oh cool. Please inform the nearest university biology and anthropology departments of your discovery. (Unless you mean yo're marrying the fossilezed bones or a member of another ethnic group. The first is simply kinky. The second isn;t marrying another race.)

i have never seen a problem with interracial marriage

I did a little bit of reading on race relations, and noticed the slow, yet steady, climb in the rates of interracial marriage. Arguments on this issue run the gammut of praise and support, to accusations of dilluting the gene pool and "genocide".

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?

This set of arguements harks back to a less enlightened age and should be dismissed.

Yes, "white races" are increasingly having "non white" blood added, but, what is a white race? Europeans are a mix of Indo-European, Meditaranian and near easter peoples, North Africans (including Black), so how are we a race? My wife to be is mixed Scottish and Shona (Black Zimbabwean) while I'm white (dispite being 1/256th Hindi). Moreover, we are all originally one race, regardless of whether you believe the claptrap in the bible or the scientifically accepted theory that mankind originally spread from the nile valley and northern ethiopia to colonise the whole world.

Argh...thought I put the link in there, now cant find the page again...anyway, this is from wiki...


What about subspecies/breed?

* The terms 'race' and 'subspecies' are often used synonymously, some argue this is the correct definition.
* Typically, 'race' is used for humans and 'subspecies' or 'breed' for non-humans.
* When they are distinguished, 'race' is generally a lower level category than 'subspecies'.

If there was someone of a different race I really liked I would have no problem getting to know her better.

Argh...thought I put the link in there, now cant find the page again...anyway, this is from wiki...

Well, if you're going to use wiki...

Since the 1940s, evolutionary scientists have rejected the view of race according to which a number of finite lists of essential characteristics could be used to determine a like number of races. Many evolutionary and social scientists think common race definitions, or any race definitions pertaining to humans, lack taxonomic rigour and validity.

Nein.



Never.

Well, if you're going to use wiki...

Ok...


One result of debates over the meaning and validity of the concept "race" is that the current literature across different disciplines regarding human variation lacks consensus, though some fields, such as biology, have strong consensus. Some studies use the word race in its previously essentialist taxonomic sense. Many still use the term race, but use it to mean a population, clade, or haplogroup. Others eschew the word race altogether, and use the word population as a less pejorative synonym.



A 1985 survey (Lieberman et al. 1992) asked 1,200 scientists how many disagree with the following proposition: "There are biological races in the species Homo sapiens." The responses were:

* biologists 16%
* developmental psychologists 36%
* physical anthropologists 41%
* cultural anthropologists 53%

The figure for physical anthropologists at PhD granting departments was slightly higher, rising from 41% to 42%, with 50% agreeing. This survey, however, did not specify any particular definition of race; it is impossible to say whether those who supported the statement thought of race in taxonomic or population terms.

I already did!

Ok...

So, according to that, you'll agree that, biologically there are no extant races of H. sapiens?
(Edit: other than H. sapiens sapiens, of course.)

So, according to that, you'll agree that, biologically there are no extant races of H. sapiens?
(Edit: other than H. sapiens sapiens, of course.)

16% of biologists DISAGREED with "races of humans exist." So even if some of them were undecided, majority agreed. Of course the poll is old, but I couldnt find a newer one. So what I'd agree is that there are races of HSS...

No, but only because inter-racial marriages are condemned in the Bible
where in the bible does it say that?

Being serious now, and speaking from experience it's not differing race which can cause problems but cultures.
There's so much unspoken and inherent in a person's culture. Rules and ways of doing things and acting which you are practically unaware of, because they are so ingrained.
And that's where the problems can occur. Someone from a different culture doesn't know these unwritten coda and can (and will) quite unwittingly offend or annoy. What makes it worse is that the other person doesn't quite understand why they're offended and can even feel the slight was delibrate, because surely only someone who delibrately wants to be an arse would break that culturally-accepted norm.

A couple of Kiwi examples:
1. Being invited to a party and ask to 'bring a plate' - meaning to bring some food along. Anyone who doesn't is viewed as a selfish greedy wanker.
2. (Especially Maori and Polynesian households) - take your shoes off when you enter their home. Don't do that, they won't ever invite you back and it's likely they won't talk to you again either. It's one of the most insulting things you can do.


Asian cultures are also particularly bad, because there's quite rigid and stricct understandings on how each person should behave in a relationship. And I've got a horde of those cultural-misunderstandings I can share.

yeah but nor everybody follows these cultures-my boyf is malaysian but doesnt follow the culture-culturally were as welsh as each other-you know the rugby the getting bladdered ect ect.

Oh boy. Prepare to have Ny Nordland unleash on you Eut.
it seems that ny nordland follows every post to say humanity is a species not a race.I think its his hobby.

i have never seen a problem with interracial marriage

Sorry for flaunting. That's why we decided to tell everyone our marriage is going horribly and are coming up with great put-downs for each other. I want us to be like the Ropers.

Of course it is going great but that's not the official story :p

OH and the clouds were beautiful and made the day perfect. Although we were afraid it would rain on our guests... it's didnt.

A prejudice in your OWN life is fine... if some white guy doesn't want to marry Indian chicks, I'm not going to force him.

But - imposing a prejudice on the life of another... it's barbaric.

Yeah, I hear Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona get some pretty good lightning/thunderstorms. Too hot for me during the day there, though. Yeah, my contact (i.e. friend) in Indiana tells me they get some of the best lightning on the continent. That gives me an arbitrary reason to go meet her.:)

Of course - the people aren't all so inviting...

It was more of a statement to the poster I quoted, saying that at least he has the option of marriage.
That's the irony of it, though. I have it, but it isn't important to me. I would consider myself married by a simple understood commitment with my significant other. I don't need the official stamp of approval. That and I don't really have any marriage prospects to utilize the right which is not currently denied my sexual preferrence.

No, no, I can manage to find one upon my arrival, if there is an arrival in Georgia, U.S.A. It's just that I practically live in a cave now, but without the cave, so I figured it'd help me feel right at home in Georgia. Step two, evade the conservatives.
I meant creepy IRL. Sometimes I sound a bit like a stalker or I magically appear from nowhere right over someone's shoulder. That last one's funny as hell, but no one seems to like it....

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?

Sure, if I loved her.

Most of the females that I've found myself really attracted to have been white, but that's partly cuz I live in a really white area. To me, this poll is almost a non-question.

Oh, sure, make excuses.:p

Oh, I guess I should add a slight explanation to my answer.

Some Maori girls are absolutly stunning and Islander girls too.

There are people who actually worry about this?

You got an eye problem?

'Fraid so.

Yep. This time something got caught in my long eyelashes.
*shakes fist at eyelashes*
OUCH!

People think I wear mascara because I have long eyelashes :(.

Sure I would. Hell, I'm a product of an interracial marriage.

I've never gotten that before, but some people delight in telling me how much they'd love to have long eyelashes. They're such a pain in the ass. Oh, sure, the eyelashes too.:D

I would have no problem with it, to me, love should not be based on things like race, age, religion, sex, sexuality, etc.

I really don't think it matters if there is a TRUE connection.

You on-topic posters aren't any fun.

Would you marry your girlfriend if you found out she rooted for Red Sox and you were a confirmed Yankees supporter? :P

22/9/06, and her parents were different shades, too.

I think a better, closely related question would be, "Who would file for divorce over a suntan?"

Or, of course, a bleaching. Or wide-spread tattoos, I suppose.

Oh, or heavy makeup.

I would marry someone of a different race. For me, there is no such thing as "races", just ethnic groups and different beliefs or customs is what really separates us. If I had a special connection with some girl, then I would love her, regardless if she was white, black, or French.

It's a matter of preference, not absolute criteria.:rolleyes: For some of us, it isn't static dogma.

:D

Okay, that was funny.

(Mental Note: do not express anger at my own eyes... it hurts...)

yep

I was waiting for someone to get that.:D

Of course I would. There are some really, really hot black, asian and other women out there, and if I had to list ten of the most attractive people I know, I doubt if even half of those would be white. I'd even go as far as to say that if I ever get married, I actually hope she'll be someone of a different ethnic background than mine. Of course, most importantly I hope she'll be someone I love.

Not to mention that because I'm white European with blue eyes and blonde hair, the "pissing off the skinheads worried about racial purity" aspect is a definite upside. :)

I had to answer the poll with no, but not because I am against inter-racial relationships or because of any racist views. I answered no simply because I am already married. Since bigomy is a crime, and I believe marriage is for life, I cannot say that I will ever be in the market to get married again, and therefore cannot marry someone of a different race.

I think you missed the point. The question is not "Will you..." butu "Would you..." and many things may hapen to change circumstances and put you in the market. I, too, am happily married, but I still answered with "Yes" because if I were in the market and met the right woman, I wouldn't care at all what race she was. In fact, I happen to find that mixed-race women are often the hottest.

Yeah ... provided they were female - and I loved them.

If I've said it before, I'll say it again, people is people is people.

...or....

It's all pink in the middle, baby.

of course.. i'm white.. my g/f is puerto rican... i'd marry her any day

race means nothing what so ever

Provided I was attracted to the person both physically and emotionally, that's not even a question of IF -- it's a WHEN.

Of course, most of the people of other ethnicities whom I've been attracted to were FEMALE, so marriage isn't an option in this fucked up country....*stops before she goes off on a rant*

No, I would never marry a negro! NEVER!

I mean, she doesn't need to be German, maybe a latin girl or American would be nice but NEVER a negro!!!

Sure I would. I come from a mixed race marriage myself (mom's Asian, dad's white). My boyfriend right now is white, as several of my exes have been, but I've also dated a black guy, an Asian guy, and a couple guys of mixed race. *shrug*

Shush. Didn't your mother ever tell you that trolling makes your wee wee turn blue and fall off?

How much would the "negro-blood" need to be "watered down" to make it acceptable to you ?
As in:
- one negro grandfather, all other ancestors white = acceptable, yes/no ?
- one negro greatgreatgreatgreatgrandfather, all other ancestors white = acceptable, yes/no ?
- Any negroblood whatsoever is a nono ? (in which case you probably disqualify the entire human race)

What is it with these guys? They come in, spout their racist crap, and then usually never post again. I mean, it's like some kind of drive-by posting.

I don't think I know enough women whom I would remotely consider to make such a list....

If I've said it before, I'll say it again, people is people is people.
And as I frequently say, retards are retards are retards.:eek:

LOL Now you've tipped him off to the conversation his mother was planning to avoid until he turned 12.:D

A drive-by utilizing the most annoying strain of poster's foot. Good luck getting rid of something THAT irritating.

What if the law changed...

Okay... that's twice you've made be laugh in as many pages.... :D

Yeah, well, I do what I can, when I'm not too lazy, that is.;)

I'd have no problem marrying someone from other "race"...I actually find indian and asian women quite attractive.

I highly doubt I will ever marry. However, hypothetically, if I were the kind of girl that men found attractive, and, I, hypothetically, was going to marry, race wouldn't matter at all, really. Some cultural differences might complicated things, but if I really loved the guy, I'd get over it (hypothetically).

If you really loved the guy, there wouldn't be anything to get over.:rolleyes:

Not the point. And I don't think it addressed my concern.

Beleive me, there are things to get over in relationships. What if a guy chews his toenails? You can marry him anyways, but you get over it.

So, if I love someone, I'm not allowed to think one of the things he does is groos, or weird, or whatever? Before I blindly accept your concept, I'd like to know your credentials as expert of love. A degree? Several years of schooling?
