For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.

I prefer it lighter, and not the lighter the better, but just anything on the lighter side.

skin color should be about as important as eye color when choosing a mate.

most people choose a mate based on the relationship they have with a particular person. they dont say "well i love my boyfriend and he's a great person who treats me well but, geez, im going to marry this total stranger because he has green eyes"

I think personality is most prevalent. But I think the way they look has something to do with it too.

Yup. If you do not find some races attractive, why the fuck would you mate with them?

Skin color doesnt matter but race does.

Nope.





What matters to me is that a potential mate be insanely wealthy, of course! :D

I avoid purple and green.

not really

when you choose to DATE someone for the first time, the way they look is important. when you choose "a mate" its not as important as the relationship you have with the person you are considering.

and trivial details like skin color, eye color, hair color, height, weight, whatever, are no longer important at all. what kind of an idiot would dump a great girl because her hair is the wrong color?

I'm not especially fussy - if it's got two legs and all the bits are in the right place, I'll go for it. Of course, none of them ever return the favour and I get arrested for sexual harassment, but that's irrelevant to the discussion.

In all seriousness, while racial distinctions are all thoroughly meaningless in every other part of society, I think skin colour is pretty much the same as hair or eye colour when it comes to finding people attractive. Everybody has a 'type' of sorts, and some skin colours just don't do it for some people. It's not racist, no more so than favouring blondes over brunettes anyway (or the reverse, in my case).

Meh, I prefer Asians, but I can't be really picky myself lol.

Well, yes, you have a point.

I tend to just have days, though to be honest pussies pussy is the one answer I can give

you just like big butts don't you!

remember now you can't lie to your brothers

I'm sure given time you could come up with some improvements though

No, not really.

I think people may tend to find what is most familiar to them most attractive, but that's just the initial meeting. I think once people get to know a person, that sort of thing probably becomes less and less important.

"choosing a mate", says so much about this forum in just three words.

They are idiots after all. Though it is something. While a normal person would not dump a great girl for having the wrong color hair, the fact is they would never hook up in the first place.

Whats it say?No one here gets laid. Seriously, animals mate, we fuck.

Well true, but then again, most don't mate until at least the third date :p

Or, in other words, while skin color should not matter in terms of the people you end up with as a partner, the people you end up with as partners tend to be filtered down through the people you'd initially consider dating (though not necessarily)

I was going to say that, but I figured we're talking about when you choose a mate, not when you choose to date.

where i come from deciding to have sex on the third date does not constitute "choosing a mate"

if all we are talking about is deciding who to fuck, supposing anyone you choose would accept the offer, skin color or eye color is as good a criteria as any.

when it comes to choosing a mate.... does that imply deciding to have children with the person?... all of the initial attractors are no longer particularly important and you might well end up with a life partner who is darker or lighter than you ever dreamed you would choose.

quite often we date people for reasons other than perfect attractiveness eh? so while you might find pearly white skin a bit of a turn off, her other attributes might lead you to date her, fall in love with her and decide to spend the rest of your life with her. in the end, skin color isnt as important as the relationship you have built together.

I tend to find Whites, Latinas (generally the lighter ones) and the occasional Asian hot....but as for someone I'd want to marry and have kids with, I am usually only deeply attracted to White women. I think many Scandinavians have a good skin color. Many times it will be fair, but not too pale and it tans well...unlike many people of lets say, the British Isles or something.

But honestly, I usually like a girl without thinking about these things...and I think about her qualities after I like her....it's just that I've only had crushes/relationships/sex with White girls before.

I'm generally attracted to people with light skin, brown hair, brown or blue eyes, but not as a rule.

Who someone chooses for the final mate is so complicated that any color is a factor but not a big one. I really don't think a person can make a conscience list of factor as to who will be the one that will finally click. I certainly wouldn't have made a list that included my wife of now 25 years. We were set up on two blind dates before we even considered each other as dating material. I guess our friends had better lists for us than we did.

My advice: Date a lot of different people. Don't look for a mate, look for a good time. Marry someone that becomes your best friend (before you marry or shack up) and is the easiest to talk to about absolutely everything. If you need to keep secrets, it's the wrong one.

When those hard times come (and they will) sex and looks will be totally unimportant. Friendship and the ability to talk and cry with each other will be what gets you through.

I avoid purple and green.

I'd add dark blue to that.

Not really. I've dated white, black and asian girls. Race isn't really an issue for me.

I prefer whites, latinos, and middle-easterners. I find them more attractive on average.

OF COURSE SKIN COLOR MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO WOULD WANT TO BANG WITH A TRANSPARENT SKINNED PERSON? I MEAN REALLY DO YOU WANT TO SEE THEIR ORGANS THAT YOU ARE DENTING?:upyours:

Yeah... I steer clear of transparents.

It could be a sign of poor health.......or that they are the most healthy, fertile person on the planet. kind of a catch 22 there.

My point is, odds are you dated the person before developing a more...personal relationship with that person. Therefore the qualities you typically find appealing in a date will likely be shared by your future "mate" only because that "mate" will typically come from the pool of people you date initially.

For me, I guess yes and no. I have liked women of all kinds, but in general I prefer lighter women or darker women or women with an in between skin color. I guess no, it doesn't matter at all for me- I just like womenz too much to choose (in fact I find myself attracted to women I think are ugly). Though, I'm actually very picky when it comes to personality.

Hey, that's not nice! I'm about as transparent-skinned as people come, and I take great offense at your anti-transparent bias!








...admittedly, my skin isn't so much transparent as translucent, and even that would be more commonly defined as "pale," or perhaps "aristocratically blueblooded." The point remains, however, that several sections of my circulatory system are clearly visible through my skin, and on behalf of transparent people everywhere, you are a poopy-head.

Well, tecnically no in a relationship. But I feel that a lot of people want their children to look like them, to see their bloodline continue and to see their expressions on their child. So people would tend to have children with those of similar likeness to them, so they can see themselves in their children.

(I have no clue if I even answered the question)

you are a poopy-head.

Nice, complex vocabulary.

I think what Zilam is talking about is initial attraction rather than this. Obviously I could easily see myself marrying a woman of any race, ethnicity, or what have you, but I will admit a tendency to prefer lighter skinned women over others when it comes to being attracted. That's not racist.

...

Is it?

Is it?Wondering if that is racist is indeed racist.

I wouldn't consider it racist. He's not conciously limiting himself-- and he even said he'd be open to someone of any race. It's just a tendency he's noticed, like preferring blue eyed blondes over green eyed brunettes.


As for me, I prefer the swarthier skin tones, tans and light browns. However, I ended up with a fair skinned sweetie who tends to merely get pink in the sun. No accounting for love!

I've been attracted to a very wide variety of colors. Especially that sexy, sexy orange-blue.

I'm not sexually attracted to black people. Unless they're lighter, like the part-white ones in the US.

For some people it does, for others it doesn't. Just like some guys only fancy blondes and some girls only fancy boys taller than them.

The world is overpopulated as it is, so as far as "mate" goes I don't care.
On a relationship level I tend to hookup with white girls overwhelmingly. It's not so much that I find white girls attractive, they just tend to find me more attractive than other girls would. The fact that I'm into literature and can listen to crappy music like Bright Eyes might be part of the reason.

Wondering if that is racist is indeed racist.

Oh damn it. Now I'm a racist. :(

I'm attracted to many things. I'm not going to even try to quantify where or if skin color falls in my range of attraction. but I will say this: If I were attracted to a woman, skin color would not affect my desire to pursue a relationship. THe ring on my finger would; My wife has a gun. :p

I seem to have a taste for lighter skin. I prefer European, Middle Eastern and East Asian women. I seem to have little to no attraction to dark women, of Africa/India/Aboriginal extract. The actual features such as which eye/hair color are not too important, they can extremely light or dark. From blue to charcoal black eyes, or blond to pitch black hair. However I tend to be a stickler about the skin color. Generally the paler the more beautiful in my view. I don't really consider myself racist, since I have no issues with dating pale skinned Asians or Middle Easterners, etc.. It is just a personal fetish I have.

I just don't find darker skinned people attractive usually.

Not that it would stop me if I did!

For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.

I thought I was the only one!

Not in a racial way. I mean, I'm more attracted to white girls (but not the bloodless looking ones) but if I found a darker-skinned girl I liked, I might go for it.

I like those Fit Tanned Girls you see on the movies.

I'm not being Racist but White girls attract me more.

Skin color doesnt matter but race does.

^^ This. It would be difficult indeed to mate with a member of another race of H. sapiens, seeing as H. sapiens idaltu is extinct and the race formerly known as H. sapiens neanderthalensis is now generally considered a separate species classed as H. neanderthalensis.

Anyone wanting inter-racial dating/sex would be a rather icky osophile (term?)...

For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.

No, not really. Milky white, tan, golden, dusky, or dark... I find all skin tones beautiful on the right person.

Is it?

is skin color the same thing as race? would you be attracted to a dark skinned girl with caucasian features?

do you find a light skinned girl less attractive in summer when she has a dark tan?

skin color is an odd qualifier for attraction. personally, i find certain combinations of skin color, eye color, hair color and build far more attractive than others but there are several very attractive combinations and they are not limited to one skin color only. as i think about it, in every racial category that comes to mind there is a combination of features that is very attractive and some that are just not.

to quote 50 Cent:

"White or Black; Skinny or Fat; Pussy is Pussy, so I'd hit That."

Not in a racial way. I mean, I'm more attracted to white girls (but not the bloodless looking ones) but if I found a darker-skinned girl I liked, I might go for it.

Dude...

I think what Zilam is talking about is initial attraction rather than this.

then why not ask is skin color a factor in who you date?

I prefer tall Nordic types, but I've had relationships with people of all colors. Emotions trump preferences in my experience.

Awww.. byebye Star Trek vids...

Well, approaching it from the realistic biology side, it'd be closer to beastiality.... Seriously, would sex with even another exitant ape species (bonobos for example) be OK in your books?

If the animal is not harmed and enjoys it ? I am undecided then; though I sofar have never encountered an animal that gave me such desires.

However, I am assuming an alien race with at least human intelligence and capacity to reason. A sentient being.

Dude...

Ahhh! We cannot hear the word "it"! [/Monty Python]

Seriously, what?

For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.

Zip. I believe I have mentioned that I'm leaving the choice up-to a formula in which physical appearance does not figure into.

Skin colour matters, but which way it matters, is generally up to the individual. :p

As for the role of racial traits in physical attraction, I'd say that things like facial shape and hair shape would be more significant for me than skin/eye/hair colour.

I don't have a real preference in skin colour...I find really pale skin, "average" complexions, olive complexions and really dark complexions all attractive in different ways. I think I subconsciously notice other things a lot more when it comes to physical attractiveness.

I avoid purple and green.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/1999/year/images/elway_sm.jpg

As long as she's got skin, I don't care what colour it is... that said, all of my girlfriends up to this point have been white skinned, but then the community in my area is mostly white as far as I can see, there are others but not in large numbers and I don't get to know them often because I'm pretty horribly shy... but yeah, it doesn't matter as long as she's nice and can converse.

For me, I prefer my own skin color when choosing girls to date and go out with but otherwise, skin color is non-essential when choosing friends.

"Does skin colour matter when choosing a mate?"
Not to me.

Not really orange and blue, but you get the point. Maybe.

No, but I am feircly attracted to Nigerians.

My only requirements are intelligence, lack of BO and that I actually like them personally... besides that I don't care about skin, religion, culture, gender or much else... including sanity.
In fact, in my case insanity might be compulsory.

Nice, complex vocabulary.

I agree. I mean, I could have called him a meanie-butt, or a stupid-face, or a dummy-spleen, but after careful consideration of my options, poopy-head really seemed to be the right choice for this occasion.

Not for me, that would be limiting my choices, I like to keep all possible avenues open. You never know who you'll be attracted to next. The way I see it, the more options I have, the better chances of getting laid.

It has been mostly important to me just to be with someone I like... I have dated (or just mated with) women of all stripes but I do seem to favor women with accents...

Iwould like to know something, i personnally only get attracted by white women does that make me racist please tell me!

Do you believe that white women are
A. a seperate race
B. women that that have relatively white skin ?

In case A you are a racist.
In case B you are not, you are just attracted to certain looks. No different from people falling for blondes, tall people or girls with big breasts. If that makes you shallow is up to you ;)

Not really. The person I love is half-asian (I'm Caucasian), so its not a factor unless your some bigot whos "OMG, a person with a shade darker skin then me, NOESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

Maybe a little bit, since I seen beautiful people from every race. Now their facial features and weight on the other hands, counts about 100x more then their skin color in my book.

Iwould like to know something, i personnally only get attracted by white women does that make me racist please tell me!

Nah. I find, say, more Latin-American women attractive than I do African-American women, but that's just a case of certain facial features I find attractive being more common in one group than the other. Nothing racist about that, just a combination of aesthetic preference and coincidence.

Not liking a man from of Africa or Asia is racism!!

Um... WTF? Isn't that a bit extreme to people who are married to someone of the same race? it doesn't matter about skin color. (Yes, I'm getting all lovey-duby) It matters about love.

Well, asian women are kinda cute, both east asian and arabian.

I tend to get along with girls from arab countries far better than with white girls, because the white girls I know - imo and nothing personal - are just to bitchy to get along with. So it is not really a matter of skin color or any other visible racial feature, but my previous experiences have conditioned me to be less attracted to white girls, making my attraction to non-whites a decision based both on race and personality - the latter of which is really more important when in a long-term relationship. Blame me: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/racist love

And while we're at it:

*ahhhh... Tamana... will I ever be seeing you again...*

lol forget that

One word. Beyonce.

When you come to a debate topic like this, fully loaded, and prepared to the hilt; there might just be a complex there.

I'm not sexually attracted to black people. Unless they're lighter, like the part-white ones in the US.

Want to try this one again?

As a courtesy extended to first-time offenders, myself and my fellow PC Police will let you off with a warning.

For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.

When it comes to me looking at someone and going, oh yum, yeah, it's usually someone with darker skin.

However, when 'choosing a mate', skin colour is entirely irrelevant to me. I'm more interested in his or her mind and personality...because I don't care how hot or light or dark skinned you are...if you aren't someone I get along with, there shall be no mating.

Iwould like to know something, i personnally only get attracted by white women does that make me racist please tell me!

no it doesnt.

your "love" is not so important to women that denying it to a certain group is a form of discrimination.

seems to me that some people are attracted to those who are similar to themselves and some people are attracted to those who are different from themselves. you are (supposing you are white) attracted to the similar. there is nothing wrong with that.

now if black or asian girls make you queasy when you think about dating them, you may have a problem.

In any case, I find that cultural incompatability is more of an issue than skin colour. It just so happens that middle-class, urban, white Christian Canadians tend to be culturally incompatible with me, and hence, less attractive in my eyes.

yeah. no matter how physically perfect someone might be, if you cant relate to them on any other level there just isnt much chance of it developing into a meaningful relationship. so unless you are a "fuck first and ask questions later" kind of person, its out of the question.

i dont consider that to be "choosing a mate" .

Dont be silly...

Even if race isnt biological, it is sociological. So the term is still valid.

And there is no consensus on Homo sapiens idaltu. Their classification may change just like Neanderthals. And Homo sapiens sapiens is a designation for sub-species. Subspecies is NOT always synonymous with race.

Well, I've never been in a romantic relationship and I'm not aiming to be anyway, but I tend to find lighter skin more attractive. I don't think less of someone for having darker skin, just that if, hypothetically, I was dating, I'd be more inclined to date someone with lighter skin, as it's really only a matter of appearance but appearance is important within dating.

As for the point about skin colour being just as important as eye colour, I'd say more so, it's probably easier to tell someone's skin colour than their eye colour from across a classroom.

I don't really care. Although I haven't dated anyone who isn't some shade of white I suppose... it's not something I've ever thought of and it's not like I've never had crushes on people with different skin colours.

I've also never dated a guy who didn't have brown hair. I had a bit of a fling with a guy who's got dirty blond hair, but that's it.

Well, someone said it first. I do find white women where I live to be rather bitchy and/or spoiled brats.
Good to know I get to avoid dating an asshole like you.

One word. Beyonce.

Mmmmm. Foxy Cleopatra. *drools*

I prefer pale skin, reddish/chestnut hair, and I don't like blue or grey eyes too much, I prefer brown, hazel, chestnut or green, yellow speckles if available.
Oh my, what a racist I am.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. It does. If you mean by 'skin color' .. 'race'.

I'm not going to sit here and attempt to 'explain' myself to the multi-culti crowd. For one.. I don't have to, nor should I be expected to.. number two .. If I did, you wouldn't believe me anyway.

Well.. if you believe that having a diffrent skincolour means you are a different race, then believing you would be a little hard. White + black = mixbreed. Mixbreed + other mixbreed is yet another type of mixbreed and so on. Considering white skin is probably a mutation of the original tan, you will be hardpressed to find any "pureblood" on this planet. Maybe some hithero undiscovered tribes in Africa, but otherwise...

Go for it. Something argue about would be much more fun than 'I like [whatever]'

What? I didn't get what you were saying.

You said you don't want to explain yourself beacause you don't have to and we wouldn't understand, I was trying to suggest that you should go for it anyway.

I made a point to mention that the 'skin color' I was meaning was 'race'.

Don't even try to sweat me. You are probably some 'well to do' white liberal living in your white ass district. I however am living in the lower class southern real life United States.. where we have been dealing with black folk all our lives. Every single black person I've known that has went up north(to school, work or whatever) has said the north is much more racist than the south. I never downed a race in my post. I am very aware of 'mixbreeds' as you call them. Mulattos. If I hadn't had a miscarriage and an abortion, I would have 2 'Mulattos'. I was with the father for 7 years.

Skin color shouldn't matter. Society is all messed up. When choosing a mate you should look at what's inside not outside. Skin is just an organ on your body. When you go up to your friend do you here yourself say,"black" or "white" or "lightskinned" or "mixed". It's childish to say that skin color matters when choosing a mate.

I avoid purple and green.

:D That might be a smart thing to do when thinking about skin color.

Same as me, though I live in London UK, but you still have not explained, go on do it, do it!

Then I do not get your point. "Race" is sociological concept with no basis in biology. Skincolour has a basis in biology, but there exist thousands of tandifferences.
Many people largely identify themselves by a rough description of their skincolour and are part of a subculture, true - but that does not make them a seperate race.

Not entirely correct.

No, humans. Every human currently living is a mixbreed, except that hypothetical African tribe.

Well, if by "mate" you mean "sex partner", then I'd do almost anyone. :p

Seriously, my "I really wouldn't say no" list stretches across all boundaries (except maybe age), from Parminder Nagra over Mila Kunis, Zhang Ziyi and Beyonce to Hayden Panettiere (she's legal now) and Scarlett Johansson.

If you mean girlfriend/life partner/wife, then I don't think I would care. I'd just be happy to have found someone, generally I've come to largely ignore ethnicity when I deal with people (my campus is about as multicultural as it gets in every sense of the word).

is skin color the same thing as race? would you be attracted to a dark skinned girl with caucasian features?

do you find a light skinned girl less attractive in summer when she has a dark tan?

skin color is an odd qualifier for attraction. personally, i find certain combinations of skin color, eye color, hair color and build far more attractive than others but there are several very attractive combinations and they are not limited to one skin color only. as i think about it, in every racial category that comes to mind there is a combination of features that is very attractive and some that are just not.

I will admit finding some Caucasian girls less attractive if they have a really dark tan, and I'll find a dark skinned girl more attractive if she has Caucasian features.

Really, I think I'm mostly limited to Caucasian and Asian features when it comes to the initial attraction. But I can easily be attracted to all...it's just rarer, that's all.

Combinations do tend to be important...I tend to favor green eyes, red hair, and a small, narrow nose along with a bright smile to be really beautiful. Hell, a good smile tends to be enough in many cases. I remember this Indian girl I worked with...she was quite dark skinned, yes, but in a good way and she had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. I have never seen such a beautiful smile before or since...it was amazing.

In essence, as I said...the skin colour does come into it, but only on initial attraction, and probably more because it's familiar to me since I'm rather pale white and I can't even tan...I just burn.

Same as me, though I live in London UK, but you still have not explained, go on do it, do it!

Same as you? You are fucking delusional. You have no idea whatsoever about my life.

You trying to sit here and say there are no races? Your technicalities are going no where. There is nothing wrong with a black wanting to only be with a black... there is nothing wrong with a white only wanting to be with a white. Being attracted to your own is not wrong. But as you see folks.. it's supose to be. Get the fuck outta here. You want a legitimate target? Aim your passion at the governments.

Frankly, I'm more likely to be attracted to guys with lighter skin. I have had crushes on black guys before, but since the odds are against them probability-wise (I haven't had that many boyfriends, and I've had to reject or not become involved with many guys before, white, black, Asian or Latino, due to already being involved or some other big problem) it's just not happened yet.

I'll keep you guys posted?

Same as you? You are fucking delusional. You have no idea whatsoever about my life.


Oi easy tiger! I like you live in a predominatly black area, but in London. Now you can say fuckin' sorry any way you like, I'll just wait here.

Except for what you said in the post he quoted.......

Black area of london .. kiss my ass. But we are getting off the point here. This is not a competition of who has more 'negro' experience.. oh wait yes it is! You win.

I guess I can know call you fuckin' delusional, what we don't have black people living in London?

Know I don't know what I have said to cause you to be confrontational or to call me fuckin' delusion in the very first post you write to me, and lets just forget the fact that you have just inferred that I am now lying, why don't you just answer the question?

This is really a stupid argument. I apologize if I offended you. My smart ass comment wasn't directed at London not having black folk.. it was related to the fact that they have nothing compared to us. This is really a stupid conversation no matter how we spin it. Did I start it? Well if I did.. well I concede defeat.

I'm sorry, What was your question?

Bah yeah coz nobody gets insulted when called delusional and a liar. However you said sorry so I can forget it. But do answer the question, go on........:D

I'm drinking and the question wasn't on this page. What was the question.. I actually added that to my last post. Though if I was smart .. I'd answer nothing. hehe. Please don't ask me a question that desires an entire life time of personal experience to answer.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. It does. If you mean by 'skin color' .. 'race'.

I'm not going to sit here and attempt to 'explain' myself to the multi-culti crowd. For one.. I don't have to, nor should I be expected to.. number two .. If I did, you wouldn't believe me anyway.

This question, you say that you are not gong to answer it, but here you are on a web forum. You posted this, you may as well finish what you have to say on the matter.

Oh.. I get what you are saying now. If I had kept my mouth shut after what I had posted initially .. nothing would've been said? But since I posted after that.. it made what I said open. Maybe.. Whatever. I'm still not certain what it is exaclty you are wanting me to explain. My personal opinion? How I got to this opinion? And I've been drinking all this time.. I do not take back what I said in my fist post or post 121 btw. Certainly you aren't wanting me to expin what I specified I wasnt willing to. I mean actually in our bull shit posts back n forth a lot of what wasn't expected to be out there.. ended up 'out there' by me.

For me, in a way it does. I really fancy darker skin over white and light skinned people.
Physical attractiveness does impact my selection of mate. The appearance of healthy skin is part of this. However, if you're asking about over-all skin tone, I don't have any particular favorites.

Does skin color matter? Not really. I've dated white, hispanic, and asian.

I don't *think* (not positive though) that I would date a black girl (usually not very attractive in my eyes) or a Jewish girl (I don't care for the religion that much), but everything else is fine.

Yes. I am fascinated by the Asian race.

This is a hard topic to be honest about, but honestly, I say yes it does. Being born a white person in South Africa, you're raised from birth to consider black people to be inferior to you. My parents still blame everything under the sun on black people, use the K word (local word- not going to post it here but lets just say its very offensive) at every possible oppurtunity and applaud AIDS as an efficient method of disposing of the black population. It took me a long time to realize that they were wrong, that black people are not all evil dark-skinned devils and retards. I've come to accept that blacks are every bit as intelligent, honest, noble and good as white people can be. However, it is hard to maintain this outlook when you live in a country where jobs are denied of you because you are a member of "a previously oppressive race", e.g white. And I dont think I would ever date a black girl- my upbringing wont be shoved aside that far. Also, from a purely aesthetic point of view I dont find black people attractive. I've no problem with anyone else, from Indians to Japanese, if it helps.

Also, I dont know if this is relavant, but I've never gone out with a South African girl of any colour- all my girlfriends have been immigrants (German, English, Greek, Bulgarian and Danish).

[snip all my posts except the the first--yeah right .. I wish] This is why I keep my mouth shut. The more I run my mouth, the more I dig myself a ditch.

I think people may tend to find what is most familiar to them most attractive, but that's just the initial meeting. I think once people get to know a person, that sort of thing probably becomes less and less important.

I agree with you completely.

I'm not attracted to every skin color. I like dark skin.

Something *TO* argue about would be much more fun than 'I like [whatever]'
My boyfriend likes weather.

Skin color doesnt matter but race does.

Why?

Of course it matters, at least to me.
The girl would have to be a Western- European, preferably French.

No they all reject me equally. (Or at least nearly all).:D

Then I do not get your point. "Race" is sociological concept with no basis in biology.


This is actually not true.

Yeah Novo Magna Germanic Reich, could you answer this question? Why do you think race matter?
