do you have a racial preference on here or are you not fussed?

"Nah I'm not really bothered about ethnicity or race. I will see any type of women. White, Black, Brown, mixed race. I'm more into chemistry and having a connection than someone's skin colour. "
does the colour contrast not turn you on? |

Not really no. I'm a very freckled White guy, that might turn others on but honestly skin colour contrast etc doesn't turn me on much. Other things turn me on however. |

"I find some black guys very sexy, Mrs x
how come? just curious? you not into white or asian men?" I never said that have I?
That's just an assumption on your behalf. I've been with both white guys and Asian guys before.
As for the Black guy thing it's just a preference.

Zero preferences.

I knew you were too good to be true."

"do you have a racial preference on here or are you not fussed?"
Yes, I tend to prefer human race. Don't get me wrong, elves are gorgeous but way out of my league and some dwarven women are quite attractive once you get past the beard. Hard limit toward orcs and goblins tho, I know it was eons ago but I just can't condone what they did to Middle Earth in the past. And if you're into trolls I'm sorry but I will seriously question your integrity. Not the moral one, the physical one |

I'll take the goblins if you're not arsed |

No. Nor age preferences. People can be attractive at any age, and from any ethnicity. They can also be absolute arseholes at any age/from any ethnicity.
Strangely though, having an ethnicity preference upsets many on here while not having an age preference somehow means "you'll fuck anything"
People are weird. |

I second this; very weird. |

It's always been about how I connect with a person, so I don't rule out anyone according to race. However, I am yet to play with any bi / Gay women on here who aren't white. Though I think that's just a matter of logistics, living in Welsh Valleys.

I don’t see myself as racially open. I don’t even think about it. If I like their face and they’re tall with a great personality I care not what colour that face is. If I met someone who wasn’t white I don’t think ooooh look at me being all racially open. |

Race etc doesn't really come into it for me. I don't really have a specific type i think I can pretty much click with anyone from any background. Style over substance. Variety is the spice of life. |

To be honest I can appreciate women of all sizes. BBWHunter sounds better and less creepy than WomanHunter |

"Anyone who has racial preferences on here is a sexual racist "
So if someone has an age preference m, are they ageist?
If they like taller men, are they sizest?
Absolute bollocks.
Its a preference. End of. |

I don't have a racial preference, you get beautiful women in every race.
The personality is probably the trump card above beauty tbh. I tend to be attracted less to the model types, more to the girls next door types.
I haven't had sex with any black ladies admittedly, but came close a couple of times. |

I have a natural attraction toward olive skinned dark haired Mediterranean women, you could say I prefer them, ergo they would be my preference.
If I was in a room full of women of all shapes sizes colours, the above mentioned would attract my attention first, but that doesn’t mean I would not have my eye caught by anyone else I the room.
I think that reading through this thread many people have a lack of knowledge of the meaning of the word ‘preference’, it doesn’t mean ‘to the exclusion of all others’.
I find the notion that people don’t have natural preferences quite absurd. |

I could be in that same room full of men/women of all shapes sizes and colours. Hell, they could even all be naked if you want. And I still wouldn't find one single person amongst them sexually attractive until we'd had time one on one to talk, laugh and get to know each other. For me, that's when the attraction happens.
So to me, what I find absurd is that other people think the way they experience attraction is the way all people experience attraction. |

Yet hair is a big pull for me, I'm attracted to different coloured hair admittedly, but race isn't that big a deal for me. Chemistry is more important tbh. |

I'll be honest... I think it's completely fine for people to have racial preferences. You can't help attraction and what you're drawn to.
What I take issue with are the people who use the word preference to justify excluding entire groups of people because that's not what a preference is and I find it difficult to think that out of an entire race of people, they wouldn't be able to find at least one person sexually attractive. |

But for those that state a preference for something does mean they are excluding others. For that they wouldn't use the word 'preference', they'd have to say something explict about excluding someone for what ever reason.

I've seen profiles that will say "No Asians. It's just my preference" or "No white guys. It's just my preference". That is excluding people while bastardising the word "preference". |

I'm not disagreeing with you but I'm curious to know how preferences are interpreted when it involves age rather than race.
I deliberately exclude everyone here under the age of 42 because I always keep a 10 year buffer between anyone I meet and my kids ages.
I am not therefore not sexually attracted to anyone who falls outside my age filters regardless of what they look like.
It may sound pedantic but do others then claim that I'm being ageist for expressing this particular preference?
It's obviously not as divisive but still involves the exclusion of an entire group of people based purely on age and nothing else. |

It may sound pedantic but do others then claim that I'm being ageist for expressing this particular preference?
It's obviously not as divisive but still involves the exclusion of an entire group of people based purely on age and nothing else. "
I never used any "ist" words so I can't really speak for that. People will have their reasons and yours is a common one I see which I agree with as it's a reason that's close to home for you.
Personally, I use my age range as more of a guideline and anyone I find attractive or get on with outside of that, I'm open to chatting to and maybe more. So I can't really provide an opinion on that. |

"I'll be honest... I think it's completely fine for people to have racial preferences. You can't help attraction and what you're drawn to.
What I take issue with are the people who use the word preference to justify excluding entire groups of people because that's not what a preference is and I find it difficult to think that out of an entire race of people, they wouldn't be able to find at least one person sexually attractive.
But for those that state a preference for something does mean they are excluding others. For that they wouldn't use the word 'preference', they'd have to say something explict about excluding someone for what ever reason.

I've seen profiles that will say "No Asians. It's just my preference" or "No white guys. It's just my preference". That is excluding people while bastardising the word "preference"." OK I can see that but the sentence would mean exactly the same without the word preference. It's definitely exclusion, no doubt. which is a person choice but I think the word preference means what you want and is superfluous in saying what you don't want.
Such as when a straight guy says he excludes gay guys and that his preference. He could simply say his preference is for woman and leave out tge fact he doesn't want to see men,

I mean... No word means what you what it to. That's why we have dictionary definitions But if you want to think that then all the power to you. I've noticed that you enjoy arguing with me on these threads and for whatever reason, I get under your skin about my opinions. So yeah, have a good... have a night ![](/icons/thumb_up.png) |

I'm not disagreeing with you but I'm curious to know how preferences are interpreted when it involves age rather than race.
I deliberately exclude everyone here under the age of 42 because I always keep a 10 year buffer between anyone I meet and my kids ages.
I am not therefore not sexually attracted to anyone who falls outside my age filters regardless of what they look like.

Agreed. It's really strange. |
