There were several threads about interracial relationships. I have no problem with dating or marrying women outside of my ethnicity. However, I *strongly* prefer a certain physical type that transcends race. Is this a form of bigotry?

No, it's just a sexual preference. I prefer very tall men. If I don't date Amerinds, it's not because they're Amerinds but because they're rarely 185 cm and taller.

It is only bigotry if you aren't nice to women who don't have those traits. If you are decent and polite to women you perceive as unattractive, then you are a mature individual.

Annunaki isn't your average Iranian male short compared to the average European male.

My hidden point ;-) was that racial preferences often are just sexual preferences rather than philosophical statements. BTW, are you short? I noticed that short women usually prefer tall men, sometimes even more than tall women do. |

You're absolutely right. I treat both attractive women and unattractive women with respect. There's no difference in how I treat them. I much prefer pleasant ugly women as *friends* over unpleasant pretty women, but I'm rarely just friends with the latter (close that can of worms). |

I saw this gorgeous anglo man in the mall once and he opened the door for these overweight black women and smiled and them and struck up friendly conversation. One lady dropped her bag as she walked off and he ran up and picked it up and handed to her. They kept whispering how handsome he was. This guy was Above-Average attractive White male and clean cut and could basically get any woman in the world....yet he treated those two women like they were blonde Nordic women. All the women in the mall were gawking at him.
His parents must've instilled qualities to make him a gentleman-period. Damn shame all men can't be like that. I see guys let doors close on pretty women. Just no manners.

I see guys let doors close on pretty women. Just no manners. It's childish to judge people by their physical appearance. People can't control how they look. I thought that it was bad form for Jay Leno to mock and ridicule Camilla Parker Bowles for her appearance. Those are the kinds of jokes that you tell when you're in kindergarten. |

^I completely agree. It should be second nature to at least treat the person with respect regardless as to how attractive they are. I treat all women with respect regardless as to whether I'm attracted to her or not.
Jack, I'm also in agreement with you in that I'm not at all opposed to dating outside one's race or ethnicity, though I'd probably be slightly more comfortable with a white woman just because I don't think I'd want to put up with social pressure, people staring, and all that B.S.

That's the main reason that I never dated a Black woman. People of both races can be rude about interracial relationships. You don't get the same kinds of reactions when you date Asian women or Latinas, though. It's a shame. |
