I have also dated outside my race once. There really is no difference. Each woman is different. Some are just more emotional than others. As long as you and the woman you're with are happy, then the hell with all else.

I have only dated outside of my race once. All of my serious relationships have been with African American women. I have loved each and every one of them. I have found them interesting,intelligent, funny and spiritually grounded. They have also been financially independent. If for some reason you find yourself falling in love with someone outside the race, I say, "more power to you." True love is so rare.

I have dated both outside my race and inside my race...I really don't think it makes a difference because if it is genuine love then you will love her no matter what race she is. I didn't get as much time with the girl from my race only about 6 mos and it it was complicated... but the other woman and I were together for 2 years and took me 4 to get over her, because I was so inlove with her...she understood why I did'nt want my hair wet all the time, and she knew I didnt care for her cooking ( lol ) but she was more shapely than me ( humm) think I missed that line! but the point is she was a woman and I loved her for who she was not for her race...The people I have been talking to lately are all black women and I am really trying, but most just arent up to the task...and that means they only have 1 thing on their minds...and thats not what im looking for...just my 2 cents! I 'm sure there is a woman out there that is spiritually/emotionally/financially and intelectually well put together. I am already all those things but most of all im happy to just be me and waiting to invite someone to share that with me...Good luck ladies

Once in awhile I find myself somewhat interested in someone outside my race. but its usually for superficial reasons and not something i take real serious. I have dated superficially outside my race . I know i am not interested in a life partner who is from a different race. i never say never and I obviously don;t know what life has in store but i can;t imagine having a partner who is outside my race. I am more attracted to black women physically, spiritually, and culturally. not to say its not possible to have strong feelings for someone of a different race but .......

  I remember seeing a first come love episode on logo and it was a black woman and a white woman getting married and they seem so odd to me and so mis matched. not cute together at all. one of my good friends is white and her gf is black and I see the same thing but obviously I don;t know what the real chemistry is like between them.

When i am close to women who are not black I can have a good time but there is a certain dimension that is missing.

my favorite non black women - Natalie Imbruglia (my all time favorite), the woman from Law & order svu (every lesbian and every budding lesbian likes her), the chinese woman from the movie Saving face (she is hot), i also like julia roberts, jodie foster- she seems intelligent which i find very sexy  ,I have had a crush on Jodie since I was like 12 before I even knew what sexuality was and I also like Jenny from the Lword she exudes a mysterious deep quality which I find sexy

I'm just curious. I've heard all these stories about other races and wanted to know if there is any truth to it? I've only dated woman of my own race, I don't discriminate it was just someting I never pursued. It's nice having someone who can understand why I don't like to get my hair wet, and likes Soul food and hopefully can cook too. Someone who is a reflection of me. I have friends who are white who only want to date black girls because they are shapely. Can't say I blame them I love it too. What do you guys think?
