What do guys think about interacial dating?

There's only one race: the human race. \n\nThat said, if the girl has a great personality, is fun to be with, is into me, and doesn't chew with her mouth open, I don't care if she's Lucy Liu, Halle Berry, Eva Mendes, or Scarlett Johannson -- I'm there, baby! :) Any guy who restricts himself to "dating within his race" is missing out on some potentially great ladies out there.\n\nAnd stvsgrl has it right: you can't help who you fall in love with. Anyone who doesn't like it, can go and take a long walk off of a short pier.\n\nP.S.: To wearytraveler who said:\n> I think it is wrong because there is so much backlash\n> from people. \n\n"Backlash"? Just because some ignorant people don't like something is no reason not to do it. They've made their choice, you can make yours, and it shouldn't be because some people are closeminded.\n\n> I see how people stare and talk when an interacial \n> couple is out in public. \n\nUm...could people be staring because one or both of the couple are HOT? And as for talking, well, talk as they say is cheap. You can talk all you want, if I'm going out with Miss World, and you don't like it, hard cheese. Go get your own!\n\n> I feel sorry for the couple because I am afraid they \n> will get hurt.\n\nYeah, right. You're soooo concerned for this couple's well-being, because of course there are lynch mobs nationwide whose sole duty is to bumrush interracial couples. HA! I rather think that your answer to this question reveals more about your racial hangups than you think.

wow... that's almost poetic. seriously.\n\nnow as to your question, most guys notice looks first. after all, they see you before they talk to you. it's only now that online dating, chatrooms, and email penpals that have taken over that personality has a chance to shine before your appearance does.\n\nwhile looks are what will initially reel a guy in, it's personality that makes him stay. you know how parents used to tell their kids looks don't matter as much as personality? well they're half right.\n\nlooks are necessary in a relationship. if you can't feel something physically for the person you like personality wise then you WILL have problems. and while not everyone has a supermodel body or superhero looks, they usually have one feature that is their best (eye's, hair, smile, and yes.. their body too)\n\nnow that they have a starting/point of interest. the fun begins and the personalities of the individuals comes out and you find out whether you are compatible with each other. this is where a cute or plain girl can become beautiful in the eyes of a guy... and where a guy who at his best can only rate "cute" uses a sense of humor to go a bit higher in the scale to a "really cute" (or so i've been told :P)\n\nthis is also where a really hot girl can show how shallow and empty headed she can be... just like the bad boy "hot" guy can show how his head is comparible to a piece of wood (yes yes i know... these are sterotypes... but they are stereotypes for a reason. i.e. there were enough instances that it BECAME a stereotype. i know there are exceptions to the rule, trust me, i've met them)\n\nyour looks let them know there is a girl nearby... your personality lets them know that YOU are nearby. hope this helped ;)

"Looks" as a whole dont matter but there has to be something to attract someone. I dated a guy that wasnt that attractive BUT he had a beautiful smile and that was all it took.

For the most part, I prefer men to be taller.  However, it's a package deal...  I've dated men shorter than me just because of who they were.  Looks do matter some, but it's not the entire picture.

One of the best guys I ever dated was not the best looking, in fact he was kind of ugly!!  But he was the most fun guy ever!!  We are friends still 20 yrs out of high school and he is really, really successful!!  I say make your move, worst that will happen is you flatter him, but don't sit back and let the opportunity pass you by!!\nBy the way I was a junior and he was a senior when we dated!!

I agree somewhat with Katrina, that men can be intimiated by independent and strong women.  But, as a guy, I would say "put off," not exactly intimidated.  For example, I recently dated a gal who I was very attracted to, although she wasn't stunning- she just "did it" for me.  But, she spent too much time telling me about her degrees from MIT, how she worked for Steve Jobs, etc..  Relationships are about humanness to me- life's little problems, emotionality, sensuality.  I talk shop all day at work, and want something deeper in a relationship.  It just got to a point where I didn't want to hold a conversation with her, since we just couldn't connect.  I guess the point is maybe revisit the guys you like with a deeply human approach, and see how that works.  I agree with the rest of the posters-  it's hard to meet someone you like.  It's true for me, too.  I live in the middle of nowhere.

Good looking is on the outside.  I'd rather go for a guy who is easy to talk to, so we can talk for the rest of our lives.  It's what's on the inside that's important.  As long as you can look at him at the breakfast table, that's enough

well it depends. nowadays, beautiful people are 'evolving', 'cause they soon realized 'brains' are needed for survival not just their beauty. \nnow back to your queston, yeah. i will try dating them. who knows if i could get a good catch afterwards? if they're not worth your time, try to tell them politely and it'll be over soon. trying won't hurt, can it? you won't lose anything with it by the way. just your time, lol!

Well I would love to say that looks aren't an issue. In this day and age it is! There is too much importance put on looking like the perfect model or the perfect man. The money issue of it may not be as important. You can be happy with a poor man as long as you love one another whether he was extremely handsome or just so so. This is a kind of catch 22 question. \n\nMy personal feeling is if I met a poor man and we were attracted to one another I would definitely go for it, with him being handsome as a "plus". If I met a man who made a good living and he was a bit conceited or his personality just wasn't what it should be I would definitely not pursue that one, no matter how "cute" he was or kinda cute he was. As they say, money does not always bring you happiness!

IT is almost 2006 . Inter-racial dating shouldn't be an issue anymore. Love has no color- Peolpe should do what makes them comfortable and happy and if it with someone outside your race than so be it.

Well I am not a guy But I see the inner beauty in the men I date. After all the cute is gone you are left with a cute asshole nobody. I figure it is that way for men also when they look for a mate. Of coarse everybody wants that perfect person who is all that .but think of it this way "our skin is just our garage where we                temporarily store our souls."

That has alot to do with the type of face it frames. I guess I havent really thought about it that much. Most of the women that I have dated have had longer hair but not all. Good question depends on the guys preference. ????

I'm into this guy I thought wasn't very attractive at first but let me tell you sweetie, it's what's INSIDE that counts. You don't need to worry about other people. Just realize you have a winner! If you think he's cute then he's cute. for the record, I think this guy i'm into is GORGEOUS! different than what I'm used to? definitly! but also cute! and you have to take that into consideration. one more thing.: women will talk themselves into thinking a guy is cute BECAUSE he treats them well. I've never seen them do it because he's rich, though. it's always been about him being a  good person. so maybe in time you will really fall for him.

if you see him for his ethnicity, there is a very low probability a relationship would work. try seeing him as a person not a race.

James, I would be glad to fill you in. One thing I like about other men is their attitudes clearly state "boy". Secondly, many men have attractive bodies (and each person has their own ideal "type"), as for personalities I like the funny and cute guys... if they're shy, that'll work too. Body parts that I like are the face (especially the eyes), and the back (although other gay men like other things.). When I see a cute man, I feel rather anxious. I feel like I want to talk to him, I feel like I want to ask him out, and I also feel sad that I live in a world where I can't just do that freely. Also, if I see a cute man but I'm around my step-dad (the one person in the world I can't come out to for some personal reasons), I feel angry that I might have missed my chance because I couldn't be "out" around him. Hope this helps. Contact me if this isn't clear enough for you.\nAloha,\nDavid
