I can honestly say I am choosing to date outside my race. I have for the past 20 or so years. Its just what I prefer. It's what I am attracted to mostly.

I have been encountering the subject where there is this idea that black men and women, in particular, are purposely deciding only to dateoutside oftheir race. Is this a general or growing consensus? If you feel this way, why? If not, why do you think this issue seems to be becoming so prevalent?

I feel it is a general consesus. I am one of those black men who consciencsly chooes to date outside of my own race. My reasons are because of my past experiences in dating black women. We just don't click the same way as it does-- as it is with women of another race. In my opinion, I believeit depends on your cultural background. I think this has a great barring on a mans dating preferances, or women for that matter.

I fell out of my chair when I read this! I've never been compared to a color of coffee before. I don't take offense, it is actually true and funny! While I don't have a preference I do find that I tend to date outside of my race. I think this is because a lot of my family members are mixed, or have dated/married outside of their race and it is pretty much what I grew up around so I've always been accepting of it.

To the original topic poster you should try to test all of the waters. It's funny but at first glance if you saw me walking down the street you probably would never peg me for a black male that spends part of his time looking over lines and lines of vertex/matrix code and writing algorithms for 3D engines. Yeah, I get that a lot. And you probably could not and would not tell just by hearing me speak that I was a very educated, motivated black man. These are all assumptions that I am making about you, but I believe they are probably not too far from the truth.

Again, you'll never know who you will meet unless you open up yourself to all possibilities!

I, like many other people, choose to date outside of my race (which is black). because i am in no way shape or form attracted to black guys... especially after being sen as a freak by most (because of mainly my music preference). and on top of that, most (not to sound racist against my own people) if not all the black guys who even live near me have that whole "ghetto" & "hood" mentality. even when i went to college, most of the black guys on campus even acted that way. and yes i do realize not ALL black men act that way... but hey again i cant help that im not attractd to them and that im attracted to others.
