Non-issue... Don't know really what to say...for some people, of any race, it is an issue..they are more conscious of it than others....for other people, of any race, it is a non-issue...
I think that belief in God, fate, reincarnation, etc. are all ideas that comfort people...people spend theirs lives trying to justify and support these beliefs with non-empirical evidence and faith...My grandfather, who is dead now, said a simple thing, in his old age, he was about 75 and looking toward the end of his life..he said, "I believe, when you're dead, you're dead. That's it." And he accepted that. I think we should live our lives for the reality we exist in. I don't need the tenants of any organized religion or any belief in a supreme being to be a decent human being...I don't need to be told how to behave, or to hope that there will be some reward or comfort after death if I do behave. The reward is in the hear and now, as is the pain, the sorrow, the agony, and the joy.
True, I have found Southern California and New York City both places that are very cosmopolitan and have a lot of the 'anything goes' attitude....much like much of Europe...
Don't care for really hairy men...I don't get turned on by chest hair..... But, I prefer him to be natural...that is, not shaving his body...However, I do not like facial hair and prefer a man who shaves his face.
It is a good thing from my perspective. It doesn't say anything bad about you, just that you waited and didn't jump into having a family. And when you meet the right woman, it will be easier because she doesn't have to worry about dealing a blended family, being a step mom, or you having ties to the ex-wife because of the kids, etc. It actually makes things a lot less complicated.
