All I'm saying is that it's pretty ridiculous sometimes when you read peoples
preferences online it excludes so many body types and races that all their
pretty much looking for are masculine, athletic, white guys.
It kind of tells people who don't fit into that certain mold that, if you don't
look and act like this then you're not wanted.
If you can't get off to "fats, asians, blacks, bears or skinnies" or whatever what would be the point of hooking up with them? I agree it comes off as racist, but how else could you make it clear?
At the end of the day, the guy with all those requirements for his partner-to-be will likely never find his partner in life.
I read this post on another forum, some time ago, about a black guy
(is that even politically correct to write? Am I supposed to say coloured or african american or something?) who was madly in love with this girl he took classes with, in highschool. She was white. He asked her on a date and she told him no, because he was not "her type". He was offended by this and considered her a racist. He was seriously asking, on said forum, if such racism was ok or if he should report her. For turning him down for a date. For real. People have sexual preferences and I can't see any other way to deal with those, than to simply respect them. Or make them join some fanatic religious cult and have them brainwashed to change their heathen ways!
From what I remember of the replies, the general opinion was that he was being crazy and that she wasn't necesarily a racist, just because she didn't want to go on a date with him because "he wasn't her type".
