I have had big curiosity with this. Latvians and russians aren't much attracted to me. Only few times in my life in Latvia some guy wanted to make acquaintance with me on the street for example. In Finland is totally opposite situation. Many guys were coming to speak with me on the street and even asked my telephone number etc. In the time when I was in Finland (it was few weeks) I got acquainted with so many finnish guys as never in my whole life in Latvia. I really can't explain why finnish guys are so much interested in me what is opposite to latvian and russian guys who aren't interested in me at all.  |

None in particular. I would say that it's an even spread.

South americans by far (not Mexicans). Now that I am always with my two babies, I don't get hit on but they are still attracted to me in a sense. An older South American couple that I see around is soooo friendly to me and even offered to babysit. I used to always get "you look like you are from my country." Thanks I guess. I'm Jewish and Italian BTW.

That was Saturday night, right ?  Finnish guys can get quite chatty on Saturday nights... And I'd say that the whole story of Finnish guys being shy is absolute rubbish, they definitely aren't. However, I've never ever been asked for a telephone number in the middle of the street here, so someone must have liked you a lot. |

Does alcohol play a part in the extroverted behavior of Finnish guys on Saturdays? This is not an insult, I've seen several Finns, especially on predominately Finnish metal message boards, comment (with some degree of pride I might add) on the high alcohol consumption of their compatriots. Still, what you say is interesting as it contradicts the general stereotype of Northern Europeans as shy, introverted, and always reserved. |

However, I've never ever been asked for a telephone number in the middle of the street here, so someone must have liked you a lot. Finnish guys chatted with me not only at saturday nights. It happened almost every day and often they weren't drunk. Though I can say that then was jazz festival in Pori which I visited . Propably that's why finns were so talkable. But finnish guys wanted to get acquained with me not only in Pori Jazz festival. I was in Finland (Hyvinkaa) at middle of week some month ago when happened nothing special. Again some guys started to chat with me when my boyfriend wasn't near me. I have to say that I was really wondering about finnish guys. I thought before that finns are much more shy, reserved and introvert than, saying, latvians. But no. I just saw that that's not really true. If to speak about drinking habits, I can say, that finns have different cuture in this case than latvians or, especially, russians. Many people here find very strange that many finns are drinking lonely (especially if to speak about strong alchocolic drinks). Here alchoholic drinks are something, what have to be shared with friends. In other words- people here drink with companions and not alone. |

Definitely Scandinavians. A few South Americans and East Asians too, but mostly Scandinavians. For some reason, no black men and extremely few Middle Eastern men have been interested in me, but my sister gets lots of attention from them. |

not many that tell me...a white friend of mine said he liked me according to my friend but...the ones that have said something...there were a few white guys (American), couple of African-Americans...and Mexican dudes around here stare at any and all females, so that's nothing remarkable...

I think it depends on where I am, if I'm in a majority European environment I tend to get hit on my Europeans. If I'm in a majority Latino environment I tend to get hit on by Latinos, etc., etc. I think this goes to show that now matter where you are someone is going to be attracted to you and there will also be people who aren't interested.

What, are you implying I should be the only one to respond to your post? Heh, sorry I didn't mean for it to sound confusing. I just meant that I was curious, I wasn't specifically addressing the question to you but if you wish to answer go right ahead  . |

I must say that I find it somewhat interesting how some here tend not to draw people from their own ethnicity(ies). Not that there's something wrong with that but I'm sure it just means that you've encountered people who have different tastes/preferences. I believe that there will always be someone out there who will perceive you as attractive, be they a member of your ethnicity or not.
From my own personal experience, I've had various types of women approach me in the past, be they of European, East Asian, African, or Latin American origin (the 4 main basic groups in the U.S.). As a Euro-American of Italian-N. European descent, I would wager that a higher number of women attracted to me have been of European descent, though for some reason there have been quite a few African-American women that've also expressed interest as well. I don't know what it is honestly heh.
As for the Euro-American women who are attracted to me, I've noticed that they tend to span the spectrum from blond to Mediterranean.

None. Cheer up Mike, I doubt that's actually true. Keep your eyes peeled! For me, the hardest part is taking the next step. I'm often perceived as a nice guy, which I think I am and wouldn't have it any other way, only you sometimes get shafted by women in favor of the jerks. But our time will come ;D. |
