...and the guy that plays Clark Kent on Smallville.

YUM!

John Cena is on my list. He is huge.

My husband is white. His family not only accepted me with open arms; his father (who is a minister) married us (and recently baptized our son, his grandson). And my parents adore him.

So I consider myself extremely fortunate.

Oh, and he reminds me of Dylan McDermott (from "The Practice") with glasses

Sounds like hubby is cute!

I've always had a thing for Nicholas Cage, ever since "Peggy Sue Got Married". *sigh*

I've dated interracially: 2 white and 1 Indian (from India). We're all the same in our spirits, we're all human, and we're all the same color in the dark. teeheehee

Matthew, Johnny(Depp, that is), MARK WALHBERG, pre/post divorce Brad and oh yes John Cena can all get the business.

Oh, hunny, HUSH!

I'm a big fan as well...looks and talent.

And, co-sign with all the other picks previously posted (except Nicolas Cage, even though he's Italian and I'm part). I'll also add Wentworth Miller (Prison Break, Mariah Carey's videos for "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together", The Human Stain, etc.). Those eyes...those eyes...

Re: the topic at hand...

Interracial dating is not my personal cup of tea. I believe in Black families, plain and simple. I honestly can't see myself dating and/or marrying anyone else. As much as I don't want to sit around "waiting to exhale" for a decent Black man to come in my life, I'm not going to give up hope that easy, either. And, I, too, don't like it when other people exclusively date outside their race based on stereotypical reasons. When I see a brutha with "someone else" (esp. White), paranoia kicks in and I usually automatically think the worse (esp. if he has status). With that said, though, love is love and that can't really be helped. We're all individuals; you can't live your life to accomodate other people's opinions. It's just that the feelings, reasons, etc., for interracial dating/marriages should be genuine and not based on stereotypes, a one-time bad experience, etc.

I don't know if I'd be OPPOSED to dating someone white. No one who was white ever appealed to me, NOT because they were white, but because they didn't really have the personality features I like in a guy.

My hot white man list:

**JUDE LAW**
Chad Michael Murray
Matthew McConaughey
Sean Connery (yes, he's old, so what?)

ms_gwyn · #23 02-09-2006, 03:12 AM

my list is long and varied...but some highlights

Brendan Fraser, #1 on my list...."liquid hips" oh man.....
Russell Wong (Kai in Romeo Must Die)
All 4 men in a little group from Ireland that you may have heard of, U2....
Benjamin Bratt

I keep on saying that my dream man would be an Afo/Irish/Asian man...as to make everyone happy!

All my involvement have been with Black men, but I am very attracted to Asian and Latin guys.

Oh no you didn't just go there!

Heh.

After watching the Grammy's, I need to add the lead singer of Linkin Park to my list of cuties.

People should date who they want to. Personally withme though. Ihave no problem with Blackmen dating whie women. Ido however have an issue with Blackwomen dating white men. I know. Iknow. Its a double standard and I am working through it. Living down south you dont see that combination too often.

Here is my reasoning.
In any relationship (black or white) the woman is "usually" going to do what the man ddoes. SHe goes wher ethe man takes her and gets into whatever the man is into. So, in a White man, blck women relationship, I dont see him enhancing her African American culture. I dont see him taking her to the KIng Center or to see Black culture events. I could be wrong, but I am just aying what I see.

So is the black man going to take his white Irish girlfriend to the St. Patrick's Day Parade? In other words, would a black man enhance a white woman's culture any more than a white man enhance a black woman's? Who's to say that the white woman's culture is any less important to her?

I guess Asiaphiles don't exist in pilot06's world...I find that a lot of non-Asian guys who date Asian women are REALLY into Asian culture...so much so that they only date foreign born Asian women.
