Dating outside your race
I am an Asian guy with a preference towards white women- a far less common pairing than the opposite. I am involved in a great relationship currently with a Danish girl and I couldn't be happier. Barring 2 (one east indian, one Japanese) all my relationships have been with white girls. I just seem to click with them more. Though I have given Asian girls a chance, our personalities just do not click. Believe me I've tried. So much so that if I were to chose between an attractive Asian girl and attractive White girl, I'd probably chose the latter (unless the Asian girl was out of the stratosphere hot). Recently I showed my grand mother a picture of my gf when I went back home, and she was shocked that I was dating a Caucasian. She really wanted me to date an Asian girl. And so I began to ask myself why my preferences were this way. Of course, I did grow up surrounded with white friends and was into rock and roll, muscle cars, playing guitar, hiking, camping, etc in high school so I naturally gravitated towards the women who are into that same stuff- which mostly happened to be white girls. Then in HS I lost my v-card to a white chick and haven't looked back since. Though there are some ridiculously hot asian girls I'd love to hook up with, I always end up coming back to the tried tested and true.
I was wondering if there were any other Asian guys on RS who are kind of in the same boat. If so how do your peers/family handle it, and why did you go that route? I am curious about the answers. I mean, when I'm with alone my girl (or any of my exes), I forget we are of different races, but sometimes I draw some glances from Asian women when we go out in public,especially in predominantly Asian areas/ restaurants and I began to notice the elephant in the room so-to-speak. It is not just with her, but the last 8 white women I have dated. It also comes out a bit more when I'm with my family who prefer I date within my race. Her family loves me and she is super liberal, but usually in these relationships it's the guys for some reason that notice it more. It's also weird how I get more slack (ironically from Asian females since I am totally cool with Asian girls and white guys), than she does from white males.
