Going Anon For This
(Anonymous) 2015-11-07 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)Over the last couple of years I have found that my dating pool has got more and more select based on race, ethnicity, and class. There are vast swathes of people who I've built an immediate reaction with and simply won't based because of my experiences as an initial responder.
Clearly after that brief initial response for I make a balanced fair judgement, but the heart wants what it wants and that stays there dating wise.
How do I stop this? Nobody wants to be know as that person who just dates a couple select ethnicities and classes but people have already commented "oh anon, you've got another ___ boyfriend ;)"

Re: NA, curious and posting anon
(Anonymous) 2015-11-07 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)Mentioning that you're oh so sure that it's so and so but you don't want to say reeks of wankbait. Especially now that you want other people to guess.

(Anonymous) 2015-11-07 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)Otherwise I'd agree, that's my only reservation.
Re: Going Anon For This
(Anonymous) 2015-11-07 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)Seriously? I'd say that 98 % of people I know only date and marry within their own ethnic/religious group.
You date who you want and other people have no say on that.

Re: Going Anon For This
(Anonymous) 2015-11-08 03:48 am (UTC)(link)Oh, and if you're mixed, it's even worse. If you date people from different ethnicities, you get treated as fickle and untrustworthy because, "You can't decide who you are." If you date within one ethnicity, then you're a "chaser," or "choosing one heritage over the other," or something. (And if you're only dating other mixed people, you must be traumatised...)

"Yes, I do. And?"
Answer seriously. If this is not a fetish, then people need to get their heads out their asses. I hate that shit.
