I can't vote for my ethnic group or outside ethnic group for I am fine with both long term and short term relationships. Th color of ones skin or heritage means very little to me and I go by common interest and personality above all else. Also looking good would be a huge bonus no matter your ethnicity and yes I am a bit shallow on ones looks, but can be swayed if everything else about her is great (unless she looks like Chewbaca or Fat Bastard...).disgruntledgamer said:

I didn't see an option for "Doesn't matter as a male/female."
Listen: I love women. I want to date women and someday marry one in hopes of raising a family together. Their ethnicity, race, or religion would not be a primary factor in whether I find them attractive or if I want to date them. I would only worry about stuff like that when it comes to marriage or raising kids. For now, I just want to enjoy my time in this world with whatever woman I feel comfortable with in hopes of enriching both our lives.

It's a hard question for me to answer. If I were to rank the two ethnicities of women that I am generally most attracted to the tie for first place would be between Caucasian and Arabic/East-Indian, but as there isn't an 'I'm indifferent', I'm avoiding the poll because my response is meaningless.
Whether or not ethnicity matters to me kind of depends on the ethnicity in question combined with how traditional and/or fundamentalist they are. Not so much their ethnicity, but how they incorporate it into their personality.
For example - East Asian women. I find them physically attractive and there's certainly parts of their cultures that I find extremely interesting. I speak Chinese (although I've gotten really terrible) and know quite a bit of regional history/religion. However, many of the women I meet from those areas follow the traditional women's role of being relatively timid and somewhat xenophobic (though very polite). I don't find either of those personality traits attractive. It doesn't mean that they're bad people, but I have a hard time considering them "date-able". Mostly because I have way too much of an overbearing personality to not have a partner with equal amounts of piss-n-vinegar.
Then again, I'm more into subcultural girls (ie - outside of norms), even if they're in my own ethnicity.

Inside.
I just don't find people outside my ethnicity attractive. Nothing more too it really. Not attracted to them means there's no point in going out with them, so whilst more than half my friends come from other ethnicities, there is a basically 0 chance of me dating someone from another ethnicity.

Since i don't really give a fuck about that, i'd have to go for "outside" because statistically speaken, it's probably more likely to meet someone outside my ethnicity.
If we're talkin' about skin tone: i do not really dig really dark women. It's just not really appealing to me.
But else everything from asian, to latino, to indio and whatever there is, it's fine.

Don't care either way. Technically dating a hispanic girl now, so I voted outside. Honestly though I always try to consider the indiviual first rather than the broad ethnic line.
Well, I made a recent post about my crazy date, and he was a black gentleman. I see no reason why I couldn't marry someone of a different ethnic back round or race, but everyone has their likes and dislikes. I personally am not physically attracted to asians or those of Indian decent, but that doesn't mean I don't feel like I could love one. I also now live in a primarily white neighborhood, versus before where I was the only white female within a five mile radius. xD
I'm a pathetically pale white female who avoids the sun at all hours. xD It's hard enough to meet people, none the less meet people of a different race or ethnic group then me!

My mother is Vietnamese, my father is Puerto Rican. The likelihood of me finding another person that matches me exactly in the racial and ethnic sense is pretty low. That being said, I'm interested in both people completely outside of my given race like blacks and whites as well as the ones that make the sum of my parts like Asians and Hispanics.
Well, in an attempt to try to avoid a self-made accident, the short answer is no. Not that I don't see the attraction in other races but I myself can't imagine myself finding a longterm commitment with anyone other than a caucasian female.
So yeah, like most people I stick with what I know, so to speak.

All of my previous girlfriends have been Caucasian, as is my current GF. If I somehow screw up and find myself single, though (perish the thought), I'd have no problem dating someone outside my ethnicity. Skin color doesn't really matter. Intelligence and personality do.
Well, my first thought was this...
but in reality I've never had a problem dating a plethora of ethnicities. My past looks like a Sunny D commercial, well, except for the whole underage boy part. Oh, and the Asians, they just fucking hate me.
Unfortunately, just because I have an open mind and find all woman visually attractive doesn't mean that all things are equal. For whatever reason, I think I prefer extremely pale white girls with extremely dark hair.
Oh, what the fuck do I know, tomorrow I'll prefer redheaded Puerto Ricans

My biggest physical attractions are to women of different (non-white in my case) ethnicities. I love me some Asian girls, Indian girls, Hispanic girls and Arab girls.
So for some sex or shallow stuff I much prefer someone from that list. Fo an actual relationship though it doesn't matter. I'll take a white girl without a doubt or regret if she has more in common with me and has a better personality or brains.
But then again if you give me a choice between a white girl adn an asian girl that both match my perceptions of attractiveness, like the same things, and both are very smart I'd probably go asian.
So outside is my final answer I guess.

For whatever this anecdote is worth, I attribute an attraction I have to Asian (both of the Japan/China/Korea etc and Indian sub-continent flavors) from my first proper crush as a wee lad. Her mother and father were from Burma but she was born here in Australia. I was 10, she was 14 and this lass could serve me my arse on a plate at Mortal Kombat 3, Killer Instinct and taught me the finer points of Super Mario World.
As for me, well, my bias is for Caucasian women, but I'd wreck Grace Park. Just saying.

A lot of people are saying race/ethnicity doesn't matter, but it's very hard to believe it doesn't register with them on some level however how subtle.
Me? I'm the very last person on earth who has any right to be picky about who I would date, but I guess overall I find myself generally attracted to people of my own ethnicity or ones that are close to it.
That's white in case you were wondering. Pale as snow that's been dipped in bleach. Pale as a ghost who's somehow lost lots of blood and has become even paler than normal.

i really don't care about someone's race. i'm white and i'm going out with a cuban so yeah, pretty far outside my race i'd say.
i really think there should be an option in the poll for "no preference"
