Do one night stands count for the purposes of "dating/relationships"?

First poll I split them out (hookup/makeout), but everything after that go ahead and lump them together. So if someone gave you grief for an interracial 1-night stand, count it.

Both my kids are Asian (different moms.) I've dated pretty much the whole Pacific rim and various Latina ladies from Central/South American. I think the last time I dated a basic was 25 years ago.

For some reason I had never been with an African American. Dated one in high school but I had no game then. Anyway, got that off my bucket list this year. Then I went back to dating mostly Asians.

 
be they black, be they white, be they yellow, be they... whatever. [/sleeper]

dated or hooked up with every possible type. married a latina-whitey.

 
I have a definite thing for Asians, as if anyone couldn't tell from my posts in the Beautiful Asian Women thread. I generally think black women's hair detracts from their appearance compared to other women unless they straighten it or something like that.. though not such a big issue I haven't had a few hookups over the years.

Particularly like women with a dusky complexion, Latinas or mixed black-white. Tanned Asians who go with dark brown hair are amazing looking.

wow, you went black and went back?

 
Typically attracted to white chicks, but have been craving a black chick for a while. I hooked up with one a long time ago and it didn't fully satisfy my curiosity.

I actually find that to be the most difficult cultural divide. I can get along well with any Asian woman and her family, same thing with Latinas. But it's tough dating black woman IMO. But not in IME, I've never had a LTR with one - just seemed like too much in my mind (not the one on one stuff, I mean the family dynamics.) Still feels that way.

I wouldn't label it prejudice...it just seems like too much of a hassle. I would be totally down with dating a AA, but really wouldn't want to be in a LTR. I have active friendships with a couple mixed couples and I know people pull it off all the time, I just couldn't make the leap.

 
Don't have time to respond in great detail right now, but my ex-wife is african american (together for 12 years) and my current girlfriend of 5 years is Mexican.

 
I'm a product of an interracial marriage (White/Asian) and been involved in an interracial marriage (Mrs Eephus is Black) for going on 29 years.

I prefer an actual African over an AA because of cultural reasons. Also prefer Indian/Asian culture over American culture.

Am attracted to darker women (married an Indian who is part African). Probably would never marry a white American woman.

 
I'm white and live in Los Angeles. If I only dated within my own race I would have been significantly limiting my options. My girlfriend of nearly two years is Latina. Honestly, if I sat down and designed my perfect woman I would make her white, and yet I've dated more Asians and Latinas in my life. That's just because there are a lot of them here, and I find them equally attractive. I've never been with a fully black woman, but that's because I'm not attracted to really dark skin. Just my personal preference. Usually the women have been pretty well Americanized, so there isn't much of a cultural difference. If anything, there is a class difference not between us but between our families, with me being raised upper middle class and them lower middle class. My current Latina girlfriend doesn't even speak Spanish fluently, or more so than me and anyone else in Los Angeles. In such a melting pot town, there isn't much negativity toward mixed-race relationships. I'd say people wouldn't even bat an eye at White-Asian or White-Latina, but perhaps people still take notice of White-Black.

I met my girlfriend on OKCupid, and this race-related data from OKCupid seems relevant to the discussion. Race and attraction + Race related message response rate. Basically, the data shows it is still good to be a white male. White women like them best, Asian women like them more than they do Asian men, Latina women like them similarly to their feelings on Latina men. Black women and Asian men have it tough, because pretty much no one likes them but their own race. Black men even prefer other races over black women.

I don't know what part of Los Angeles you live in but on the west side no one bats an eye at any race combo.

Culture can be an issue. I never have gotten used to macaroni & cheese and Tyler Perry videos at holiday get togethers.
