i know alot of you might say "as long as their is love in the
relationship race shouldnt matter" or anything close to that ...

But asians do seem to prefer dating only asians and if not,
then they will date white people ...
or at least that is what is most commonly seen now-a-days..

why do you think this is??

what race do you guys see yourselves dating other than asian??

i've just been curious about this for some time.

it's interesting that you bring this up... i think that a part of the reason why asians seem to prefer dating other asians is because of commonality in background. no matter what, asians are going to be closer to other asians in the way we view life. our world-view is similar. i find this to be true also of latin cultures as well. while attraction is a totally different matter, and it might be the biggest matter for you, in general, there's less of a cultural gap between asians. so there's a natural 'closeness' i guess you can say.

i see that a lot of people said white as the other race that you see yourselves dating... is that b/c that's the majority of people that are around us? that's what media tells us is beautiful? that's what society tells us is beautiful? even in asian cultures, being more 'fair-skinned' (aka white) is considered more high-class, or beautiful. why is that?

i'm not saying asian is better or worse, but i'm saying that sometimes, it's not just our preferences, but what we've been fed to think, even without us knowing it. we just need to be aware of that.

actually i would love to experience the interracial dating thing. never done it but would love to see and do it hehehe

i don't get it, "white" here means western people??? if it is, i prefer white one.. but asian is fine too, hehehe! asian here means indonesian guy, coz i don't really like chinese guy.. (sorry for chinese men out there)

i think it totally has to do with your surroundings. when i was in new zealand, all i wanted was a white girl. then when i went around asia, all i wanted was an asian.

I prefer asian (i am asian) but, if I were to end up with a non asian it would not be the end of the world...

I have dated a few white girls from work place before, nothing too special, except when go town area many ppl keep looking at us. Now a days I only dated asia girls.

Well I'm not asian and I would not think it's weird dating an asian guy; as long as he loves and respects me.

I"m not Asian and i have not problem dating one. I have a best friend who likes to date black guys but chooses to date Asians because her mother would kill her if she did.

Fortunately, my mom wouldn't mind wheter i dated an Asian or a Black guy. A White one, maybe but I'm not too sure.

I knew a girl from Japan... she's specially for me. I also think that the different between us is just an illusion but who knows the truth?
