Race and dating preferences
Do you think that one can be racist for having a dating preference? I don't think so given as the majority of people don't choose what they find attractive but it's a debate that's been going on for a couple of years now.
During COVID, Grindr removed their race filter in support of Black Lives Matter. It really sparked controversy among people.

Re: Race and dating preferences
I find almost no one attractive. Luckily I met the one chap with whom I was happy to exchange spit very early in life. If I hadn't I would have been in trouble because in my opinion the world is full of weird hairy loud people. I don't care what race anyone is.
Thinking out loud, and trying to be occasionally less wrong...

If they have a pulse and over the age of consent. Then its game on:)

No, of course not. Anyone who thinks it's racist is a braindead moron.

Re: Race and dating preferences
Okay I will take the bait and be racist. If I was to find anyone attractive it would be very tall, slightly tanned, chisel-jawed, blue eyed Scandinavian men. But my family name is of Viking origin so that probably explains that racism. If I was a heterosexual man I would be stupidly in love with Indian women, too many of them are just adorable. I would be racist about all the rest of them, especially Canadians.

Interesting. Would you say you're turned off by the aesthetics of black men or the stereotype of black people?PlaneSpeeking wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 1:55 am No I don’t find black men attractive - am I racist ? Do I give a flying fck ??
It's an important distinction to make. A lot of people would say that white people are perceived as more attractive around the world not because of how they look but because what being white symbolizes i.e wealth and education.

Re: Race and dating preferences
Never found blondes attractive, particularly the Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield type, all tits and pouting. In fact there was one blonde in my group during my teens/twenties who seemed to have a strong attraction to me and who I avoided like the plague. This led my male friends, on occasion, to question my sexual proclivity, but not my female friends, who never had any doubts in that direction.

Purely physical - just none of them have ever done it for me. Nothing deeper than that.mariannaspring wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 10:38 am Interesting. Would you say you're turned off by the aesthetics of black men or the stereotype of black people?

Ah go on, take one for the team and report your findings back here. You never know . . I've heard it suggested that once you go black you never go back.PlaneSpeeking wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 3:50 pm Purely physical - just none of them have ever done it for me. Nothing deeper than that.

Hmm being asked to sleep with someone I don’t want to - I’m sure there’s a word for that …

I know that some guys won’t date Chinese people because they don’t respect copyright laws. Fair enough IMO.
