I Don't Date Outside of My Race...

Our men are NOT commodities on an auction block to be purchased and sold to the highest bidder for an elicit escapade only to be discarded after they have been used. (I am for the moment disregarding the fact that many of the brothers allow themselves to be used . . ) Sorry Mods . . .

ok i feel you on this... but black women do the same thing. if i say, "hey i think ima get my swirl on," arent i objectifying white men and trying to get a taste?

but to answer the question . . . before I got married, I considered it briefly - not to quench any curiousity, but it was a genuine attraction. I decided being with a brother of another hue was NOT what I wanted to do . . . I love my brothers too much . . ..

for the most part, attraction transcends color lines... if you were "genuinely attracted" to a non-black man, it would be because:
--you find him attractive and he happens to be non-black
--you find him attractive due to the fact that he is non-black

in other words, was it an attraction to the looks or the skin?

I think it is a bit different because our interest (if the reason is purely sexual) is not based on some illusion that somehow white men are these sexually ravenous beings that are instinctively better in bed. . . it isn't based off of some slave master mentality that being with a white man is something I have longed to do but haven't because it has been taboo for so long. I think the reasoning behind it is differnet because of the history

Attraction to looks and personality and he happened to be white. . .now if the wg is attracted to a brother's looks and personality - ok (still not in favor of it, but do what you do). However, my response was based on the comment 'I have never slept with a black man" - meaning color was the major factor . . not looks, not personality . . . plus she had posted that same dumb azz question/comment in another thread, but presented it in terms of sterotypical thoughts about AfAm men in bed.

Although I am happily married, when we attended a conference in Hawaii, I kinna had an "eye allergy" with all the polynesian men... I mean, from Tahiti to Samoa, those ummm, loin cloths to kukui nuts... Well, let's just say the lanai at the Sheraton caused me problems on Wakiki...

They certainly are! We have a large Polynesian (namely Samoan) population back home in Anchorage (AK). Their skin, their hair, their broad shoulders, and their *HEIGHT* (gots to be tall to get at me) make me swoon!!!
