Importance of skin color?

[Samfreek]

I find that I am more attracted to Caucasians but I am not picky either. if you are a decent person (the guys where I live are not, no matter the race) and treat your family and friends right.......

Physical attraction for me is very secondary as it is (with certain extreme exceptions) so I couldn't be very bothered by race at all. Strangely enough, though, I have different "ideals" depending on the race. I prefer white guys to be slim and pale, asians to be slim or slightly muscular and black guys to be as huge as possible since the shock of my entire family would be much more pleasurable than any sexual gratification.

Not really a factor. I would buy personality plus wit anytime over looks..

Now, about the race, i guess there would be some cultural and launguage barrier.. As for me, language wont be a problem most especially if he speaks English as well.. Also if his culture was influenced by American or Spanish we might have things in common.

I guess its thrilling to have a bf of a different race.. Havent tried though my first and only bf looks middle eastern, lol.

Yes, skin color is important to me. I'm white and I cannot imagine myself together with black or Asian or any man from race other than white. I'm in no way racist, I just don't find other races attractive.

Not really, I think some light-skinned asian guys are really gorgeous, and some Hispanics & greeks hmm, the eyes mean more than skin colour and all the other normal factors that determine if i like somebody

Skin color is a complete non issue...

..and while on the subject of non issue...I think being gay is a complete non issue as well ...

All, except black and South Asian peoples. I'm not racist and can be friends with them, but as sexual partner blacks and South Asians don't attract me. I don't know why. Don't say that I've never seen then and that's why I'm so biased. I see them almost every day in my city; they are working and studying here.

Now you would wonder why ME a black man thank you for your post? Because so far you're the first in this thread that have just come forward and said it straight with no bells and no whistle that what you like is people of your own color or nationality. I hear quite often from so many that skin color doesn't disturbs them... but deep down, they'd prefer not to be seen with someone of another color than themselves. While they come saying that all colors are okay I'd like to test this by offering them two beautiful guys; one black, one white and you will often see the white dude going for the white dude nomatter what and no matter what they've been saying. Actions speaks louder than words.

However dude given that you live in an place that the majority of people surrounding you are white skin, I am not shocked not even surprised that you would prefer Caucasian over any nationalities - also I wonder why do you feel the need to justify that you're not racist? I have no interest in black men or Asians dude in my scales of preferences and I am black. Preferences has nothing to do with being racist. I do not hate the color per se, it's more the cultural that doesn't match. I am a black man raised among caucasians, therefore my culture is much more similar to yours than any other black men.

Now if you say that YOU don't find them attractive, this is a personal preference. But when you say that you don't find any other race attractive, that's a bit xenophobic (not racist) because although I am not attracted to most African decent or Asian dudes I have no problem recognizing that many of them are much more attractive than many of those white guys you like so much.

Now my next question is: how many black or Asian or other nationalities do you have in your circle of friends? You may not be racist, since racism is the product of pure idiotic ignorance but not so far from the tree of ignorance there's Xenophobia which is pretty much the little cousin of being racist.

Don't you worry I would never hit on you LOL, not all white are beautiful just like in other nationalities. Beside I am married to my dream dude and yes he is Caucasian and just like you he once said he was not interested in any other race than white - yet he couldn't find the right guy in its own nationality pool... but here's a thought for you... a Golden retriever is a race of dog, an Asian man is a nationality... white is a color not a race and nor a nationality. Mankind are defined by their cultural background, morphology and nationality, if you're talking about race, than you just made an oxymoron because you are from the human race but you're Caucasian.

Is color of skin important? No, Black guy or Asian may not be my first pick, but attitude is, culture match is.

It doesn't really matter to me. Personality is most important to me.

Oh, this thread is an oldie.

Sexual orientation seems to be instinctive, people of all personalities, ages, and ethnicity are attractive or unattractive to me.

To be honest though, there's doesn't seem to be a race of people that stands apart from the others as "not attractive". In my home town, there are Italian, a few darker skinned individuals, irish, and first nations, among a few others, and I am attracted to some individuals of each group. So it's not an issue.


This said, if someone honestly is not physically attracted to a certain ethnicity, and the reason is physical, it's not something that makes that person a racist, anymore that it makes me a bad person for liking men .
