not quite. "european" covers a pretty diverse range. I think many would agree that "turkish" is different to "french" is different to "german", for instance.Ham_authority95 said:Also, why did you separate "white" and "european" on your poll? Aren't almost all ethnic Europeans "white" in the first place...?
Then...doesn't this suggest that you DO have a preference, it's just been unfulfilled so far? Actively looking for a girlfriend who is of a particular race over any others, and advertising the fact, IS a preference.Macgyvercas said:I've only ever dated whites, but seeing as I want to get a shirt that says "Looking for a Japanese girlfriend" in Japanese and being totally serious while wearing it, that should give you a hint that I don't really care about race as long as the girl is likable.
Exactly my stance, if I like them, I like them, if I don't, I don't, it's not based on race so much as who you are as a human. If i hate your personality then you've got 0% chance no matter what race you belong to.Aby_Z said:If someone looks attractive to me, I'll be attracted to 'em. Race isn't really an issue, but that base level of attraction has to be there in the first place.
Never dated the same race twice and i've never noticed that before, race is not even an issue surely, it is all down to attraction and all races are beautiful, I guess I might be in the minority hereSkyeNeko said:Ok, so I'm a black/asian girl (i look more black though), and the first thing id like to point out is that the only guys who think im pretty are black guys. I rarely see any races dating outside of their own race. first of all i think its not fair because i dont think ill find a black/asian guy (and i dont want to), and second of all, why? how many escapists out there like to date men/women from other races?
actually there are a number of differences between European countries and the ethnicity of those residing in them, Putting European as a race is roughly equivalent to putting American as one if you see my meaning.SkyeNeko said:Well, I thought about it for a quick second and decided to separate them =\Ham_authority95 said:Also, why did you separate "white" and "european" on your poll?

I consider them both caucasian i guess but they just seem different enough to have their own category =_=
I can see how that could be a detriment. However, "likable" is the first thing I look for. If someone is a total jerk, I wouldn't be around them plain and simple. Then again, not many people are privy to my thoughts (and fewer would want to be, my head is insane) so I'm just going to end this by saying that you are right.Rachel317 said:Then...doesn't this suggest that you DO have a preference, it's just been unfulfilled so far?

Although, I don't know how much success you would have with that kind of T-shirt. Seems...kind of debasing the act of finding a relationship to an advert which girls can apply to. Could be construed as racist and sexist as well, seen as how you will decide, from the number of girls who "apply", who best fits your interests. This is what you'd do anyway WITHOUT a T-shirt, so why?
I get you wouldn't mean this in a bad way, but you have to think about what other people will assume. It could put people off getting to know you, because a Japanese girl might think you're only into her because she's Japanese, not because she's a nice, interesting person.
Come to South Africa... Everyone race sees so much of every other one that colour doesn't matter anymore...SkyeNeko said:I rarely see any races dating outside of their own race.
