It is preference. To think otherwise is idiotic and missing the point of how preferences work, especially sexually-based preferences. Some women don't like men who have ginger hair. Some do. Some men don't like other men with larger genitals. Some women like tiny genitals. Is it not, then, by extension preference for/against skin colour? Is it racist to prefer women of say, Korean descent over other women of Caucasian descent?

Hint: it isn't. The human mind is mostly unmapped, uncharted territory with a crude crayon-drawn map called psychology to guide us. Preference is something that is shaped and molded during our formative years up until the day that we die. It's why some people derive satisfaction from feet or having their nipples whipped with a day-old sausage. By extension and the barest fundamentals of logic, we can extrapolate that preference for skin colour is not, in fact racist, but is instead the same as any other like or dislike.

Preferences are not static. If they were, you'd still be drinking breast milk. Preferences change and evolve along side experience. I think to say, I'd never date a Korean girl, is not just a racist statement but, to use your own word, "idiotic." If you were to meet a Korean girl, spend time with her and find that she was all the things you find interesting in a woman, but happened to be Korean, it's likely your preference would change. Preference correlates to experience. To think otherwise is idiotic.

I'm glad to see the openness to other opinions and respect to debate still alive in our newfriends that have come to Hubski :^)

I'm not really attracted to blondes. Or black women. But I've gone out with both because I'm not the kind of shithead who will dismiss swaths of people as unattractive because they don't fit my personal ideal. That's the idiotic stance, to just chase one form of beauty and tacitly find another fundamentally unacceptable.

That's right blonde women, I'm calling you out for being uninteresting and the carpet doesn't match the drapes most times. How can I fuck someone whose pubes clash with their body hair?

Funny story. Was talking to a buddy in high school and I told him I was mostly attracted to brunettes, didn't really dig on blondes. He pointed out I'd dated seven blondes in a row.

We often do not know our hearts.

And here I was thinking that it was wrong to break up with someone for their dick size.

Like, seriously, do you know anyone who started dating someone, had sex, and then decided that their partner's physical body was simply inaccurate, not up to code, and as a result, there was no desire to continue the relationship? Because

1) you're saying personality, compatibility, trust, etc, all don't matter when put up against ONE non-disabling physical characteristic;

2) you're saying that if there is a problem or issue or shortfall in a relationship, basically if there is any perceived shortcoming, what should be done is not talk about the problem, attempt to solve it, and work through it together as a team, but instead the dissatisfied partner should just say "well it's biology," and get the fuck out of dodge;

and

3) you're saying that you actually believe there is some human out there that is going to fit all of your expectations that you have of them aka "the perfect partner." And that therefore it's reasonable to completely end things based on traits generally outside of any person's control because you are certain you will find someone who, despite their same lack of control over their physical traits and appearance, does exist, will cross paths with you some day, will also like you, and that you will also fulfill all their ridiculous expectations.

Like, seriously, any one who says they didn't date someone because of their hair color is lying to you. Or hopelessly stupid. Or both.
