Why not? Honestly, I'm not prejudiced, but I live in an area that is, so I have two ethnicities that are excluded because of that. Would I turn down someone for that reason if I got to know them and they really were a good match for me? No. But I'd have to know them very, very well and be very, very positive. In my neck of the woods, dating from one of these two races would make me undatable in the future if it didn't work out. So, in my case, call it self-preservation.

There is nothing wrong in preferring a race to date. But that can perfectly be theoretical, a principle. I like the tall and blonde ones. It's easy to date them around this part of the globe, believe me. Why don't i date one? Because i choose the guy this time and now i need some resting and organisation in my life.
Yvonne66: Is it wrong or absolutely alright to wanna choose what ethnicity you want to end up with or meet?
Forgot to reply to the OP...in the previous post
No, I don't think that's wrong at all... we all have preferences, some may say that looks doesn't matter, but in my world, what turns me on, looks has something to do with it....
cristina: I don't think i will read your post Oslo because the only way you direct a post to me is to venon it all. It must for sure be full of crap. If someone points out my ideas and they happen to question them the same way you do, then you will get the response through that. I'm quoting your post, but did not read it...i'm not in the mood tonight!
Happy New Year
Charming... a question was asked, and you couldn't reply...
Happy New Year to you too...
Could it be you're waiting for your "sistah" to reply for you???
It's a discussion, you made a statement, and I questioned it...

I don't think it is wrong at all. In my experience, I have to be picky about what race I'm dating. One of the races I dated gave me a bad impression of that race and I am seriously turned away from them. Not only was he the one that gave me the impression but also his friends that were the same race. Its anyones right to decide who is right for them.

sorry that i disagree, but you cannot judge an entire race due to a one or two sample.
but still, it is your choice and opinion and i have to respect that.

Yes it's any ones right to choose any race. But, did that other race experience gave you the most sour experience of your life? You can't be over 20 are you? You seem to have dated THE RACE...you have experienced THE RACE... A question, there are many ways of screwing up a relationship. Think about if the reason why your relationship had to end was of exclusive of that race. My worst experience was with a blonde guy...i still prefer them though...by the way, i have mostly dated fair men. Is it time to change? Why? because i might like chilli beans? In principle, i will keep on sticking to the blue eyes. Am i still single because i'm sticking to the blondes? Lol, i got two marriege proposals in my life...from blondes.... I choose the man now...really, i love blondes

Yes...I think it is fine...It is a personal choice, though....Depends on the person, and how serious you are with dating...If you just want friendship, why should it matter?? But if you are looking for long term, well that is your call, go with your instincts.......
