Interracial Dating and double standards

Stop obsessing!

You can have your obsessions, and I can have mine.

I date interracially (not always, but often) and when I do it's not for any reason except that the human being I like happens to be a different color from me, BUT I object on principle to the idea that people in couples are supposed to "match." It seems really ridiculous to me that there is always the assumption that a black person has a black partner, a white person has a white partner, etc. I don't quite believe what my dad says, that maybe we shouldn't even be allowed to marry our own race because then everyone would mix together until we stopped being idiots about race - only because then you're still putting limits on who people can love, and Ibelieve love has no limits - but I think, if you fall in love with a person of another race, great. If you fall in love with a person of your same race, also great. But it shouldn't be the assumption.

Returning to this question, I recently watched (on the recommendation of a strident Feminist) the movie The Stepford Wives.

One scene in the movie reminded me of one of the key unpleasant characteristics of our women

Our women love nothing better than to get together to whine, moan and complain, generally about men. And, they will exaggerate things to try to outdo each other how despicable their men are. And, they will exchange tips about how to manipulate their men into doing what they want.

Fnord (and others) can back me up on this: an Asian wife would absolutely never publicly denigrate her husband. When Asian wives get together, they will also exaggerate, but typically in the other direction, and try to outdo each other over how great their husband is, his college degrees, professional achievements and awards, and what an excellent provider he is, and how wonderfully their children are doing in school. They're much more interested in saving face for their families, and it would be shameful for them to be perceived as seeking to humiliate their husbands.

I thought obsessing was normal for an aspie!

That's right. We can obsess all day and all night, about just about anything.

Including those caramel-skinned Goddesses in SE Asia and India!

At least I gave up collecting stamps and baseball cards a long time ago.

What's annoying to most white women isn't that you praise Asian women, or women from any race in general. It's the fact that you denigrate white women to do it by making generalisations that might be very far from true in an individual.

What's annoying to many women (the ones I've talked to, at least), is when they start dating outside of their race, not only do the women of the race of the men they're dating disrespect them for "Stealing their man" (even if they've turned him down repeatedly), but the woman's friends and family members will also deride and disrespect her for dating someone "other than one of their own".

And if they should ever marry, they may as well expect to spend the rest of their lives outside of their former social (and familial) circles.

Not sure why other guys go after Asians, I just like the way they look. Disassortative mating has me firmly in it's clutches!



Not sure if I get the joke.

You're on a different continent than I am. Probably women in Europe are nicer.

^ it's mostly abt height after all eh? White men are taller, that's why Asian girls (and middle eastern) prefer them.
Have you noticed how often they mentioned height-related things?
