I don't feel attracted to my own race should I try to be? - November 28th 2011, 04:32 AM

well I'm half black. But I grew up with black people like as of lately. I've never liked guys of any ancestry besides white guys. Last weekend I got drunk and there was this guy who had the party I kind of flirted with him he'd said I was hot and I went upstairs with him to his room for some reason. Well one thing led to another in his room and we made out on his bed without top. He wanted to go all the way but I'm a virgin. I was a little drunk too drunk but the thought of what we did kind of grosses me out... Like I could never be that intimate with a guy like that he's not that ugly though girls think he's cute I don't find black guys attractive. For weeks he's tried to get me to go iut with him and all that but I can't I have thought maybe I should give him a try because it's not right for that reason but while sober he's like the opposite of what I like completely it seems. I just feel like something's wrong with me to innately be unattracted to black men. Advice? What's wrong with me?

omg! girl i am just like you only im white and im srry to me white guys arent attractive. last relationship was with one and i just was not attracted at all. You should do what makes you happy. if black guys arent your thing then dont date them, personally i find them very attractive . your not weird and you should not have to change yourself. My bestfriend and i do the same thing she likes white guys and can not go out with a black guy to save her life. Your not alone in this situation, remember its your life no one elses.. anymore advice on the subject just reply and ill keep checkin this thread.

I dont think anything is wrong with you. Yes, Most people are attracted to their own race, however some people arent. My uncle, for example, will only date black girls, and hes as white as can be. Things like this happen, we are all born with different attractions and we learn to just go that way. I wouldnt try to fight it, and I wouldnt think that something is wrong with me. Just go the way you feel and you will be alot happier!

Goodluck!

You are completely normal. I'm asian and I don't find myself attracted to any sort of asian guy at all...funny thing is my sisters don't find asian guys attractive at all. We all make jokes that we will all end up marrying tall white guys--my older sister's boyfriend and my boyfriend are both tall and white. I can't see myself dating an asian guy...at all.

I'm just fine with going with that

Nothing wrong with you. You have a certain preference, and you shouldn't 'force' yourself to go out with someone that 1. you aren't attracted too and 2. because they are of the same race. There is no written rule that you have to date white guys or black guys or Asian guys or anything like that. Date whomever you feel comfortable dating.

You definitely shouldn't try to make yourself feel attracted to them, it won't work. There is nothing wrong with you, race is just the color of a person's skin. It doesn't mean you have to feel a certain way just because you are that race. You can feel attracted to whomever you want.
