Inter-racial dating
- Thread starter powderfinger
- Start date
Not a huge surprise - I've always said the stereotypical south starts about the middle of Ohio, and ends before you hit the Gulf Coast.
Central Florida isn't the south - it's New York II.
South Florida isn't the south - it's north Cuba.
I've been in a slew of interracial relationships. I definitely find white women to be...fine, but prefer women of color in general. I was married to a half Persian / half Honduran, am currently engaged to a girl who's roughly half Cuban on top of a list of other things, have dated a couple of African American girls, etc. It's all about what you want. I've gotten some weird looks, and my best friend's grandpa asked why I hated white women...but other than that, soak it up.
Oh...and Latin women are crazy, just how I like em'....

You need some latina crazy to keep up with your ginger crazy.
I got me a latina to balance out my white uptightedness.
hahha. yeah. I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not being yelled at about a made up problem.
HAHA!
But actually, I would say that more a female thing than racial/ethnic. I've been getting yelled at for made up problems since starting to date many moons ago. This, in a variety of accents, dialects and languages
HAHA!

The difference lies here: Vanessa and I were having a conversation about things that we do that drive each other crazy while cooking in the kitchen together. She was cutting veggies
"uh.. babe.. will you put that knife down while we're talking about this.."
" do you think that I'd really stab you?" (while twirling the knife around...)
"uh... maybe?"
"you're probably right..."
HAHA!

I agree with Relic on this one. Getting yelled at by a woman for made-up problems is not related to one specific ethnic background. It's one of the few things in common between my Mexican test-wife and my white girl keeper-wife. At least my keeper-wife does it in a language I can understand. Last night, in fact.
There's something about the way a latin woman loses her mind that is beautiful to watch (from afar), though.
Things like "I'M NOT YELLING!!! IF YOU WANT ME TO YELL, I WILL!!!!"
or
"YOU'RE AN *******!"
"uh, baby, I'm not sure why you're mad at me..."
" I'M NOT HAVING THIS FIGHT WITH YOU"
etc.
Or how about:
Her: YOU FORGOT TO BUY KETCHUP!!
Me: No, I didn't it's right here in the back of the fridge.
Her: WHY ARE YOU YELLING??
Me: I'm not yelling.
Her: YES YOU ARE!!
Me: No, you are.
Her: I AM NOT YELLING!!!! YOU ARE YELLING!!
Me: am not.
Her: YES YOU ARE!!! STOP YELLING!!
notice the important use of caps here.
My personal favorite is:
Me: "Hey..."
......
Me:" hey...baby..."
...........
Me: "BABY..."
.......
Me: "Vanessa I have a question to ask you..."
....
Me (muttered): "never mind...."
Her: "WHY ARE YOU MAD?"
lol!
In my house, I'm never, NEVER, NEVER allowed to be in a crappy mood. Bad day at work - must be cheerful, didn't sleep a wink the night before, must be cheerful, the moon is about to crash into the earth killing all life as we know it, must be cheerful.
otherwise it's:
Scene: driving to Target for an hour of unbridled shopping fun while I have a pounding headache..
Her: why are you mad??
Me: Oh, I'm not mad, just in a crappy mood and I have a headache.
Her: You're mad and it's making me mad!!
Me: But I'm not mad, nor am I upset with you. I just had a crappy day and my head hurts!
Her: NOW YOU'RE YELLING!!!
Me: I'm not yelling!
Her: YES YOU ARE AND NOW YOUR P*SSING ME OFF TOO!!!!
Me: oww my head...
