[/ QUOTE ] Some of the most successful marriages I know are arranged marriages. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting though is that not because of the culture they are arranged in that there is a predefined role for the man and woman i.e. the man works and the woman stays at home looking after the kids, it would be hard to have a divorce if the woman was not confident in her own ability to care for herself and her family on here own unlike a lot of more western marriages where both parties have high possibly unrealistic expectations and divorce is easy with the culture of marriage not seen as a till death do us part type commitment. If it is harder to divorce they are more likely to work through the issues and make the couple stronger than divorcing when the first real problem comes allong.

[/ QUOTE ] I might have sided with you just 6 weeks ago, but then I happened to be introduced to a lovely black american girl - within 36 hours we had our arms around each other with her telling me that I'm her new best friend! She's back home now, but we spend hours chatting on msn each night (until 4 in the morning here), and a visit to the US of A may soon be on the cards.

Omi Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Riz, have you considered prostitutes? With the money you've saved not getting the RS4, you could have a different girl every night for a few weeks until you're so confident around girls you actually start looking like a prospect to them? I've decided my charity for Scumball next year: The Get Riz Laid appeal... If donations go well, you get a stunner, courtesy of the general public, if things go badly, my Mum is easy and not fussy.

Riz Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Riz + the opposite sex = another classic thread [/ QUOTE ]Glad to be of help.... knew this thread would get busy.... Right for the record as some say, its got nothing to do with race or colour etc... Im not a religious person and participate in all the usual activites like drinking, clubbing and going out etc... although not as much as I would like (new years resolution). I have really only got on well with english women to be honest and just for the record there are other factors in my mind rather than just sex. I have very neutral views and get along with anybody including female work mates etc.... its "only" if I fancy a lady where I bottle out. Perhaps its the fear of rejection or being hurt.... anyway xmas party is here soon and i`ll find out soon enough if she is intrested or not.... as RR said, abit of eye contact and a chat if the signs are there. I dont think im going to do the internet dating routine..... only good for two things.... 1= getting mind fcuked and 2= getting laid ...... both of which ive experianced I do feel that sometimes perhaps it is my appearance which is to blame or my simple view on life etc.... but if I was that bad, surely I would have never had any past GF`s I find the lady I like at work very attractive and she seems well spoken etc.... will find out more at the party...... eitherway im going to have a good time and have some If the party sucks.. then im off down town..... Im going to go into town before the party and have a few drinks with my brother... as he has his party on the sameday! Anyway think i`ll keep a close eye on this thread Riz p.s. I doubt very much that my choice in cars will effect my chances of meeting a nice lady.... maybe a wrong lady for but thats not just what im after....

saab Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Couldn't help noticing Riz is of non-European decent, assuming the lady in question was your more common European ethnicity is this an issue? Not being un PC but know i don't find colored (Asian, Oriental, Black etc.) women attractive in the same way that i find women of similar background to myself initially physically attractive I wouldn't think of myself as rasist in any way and if i know them to have a good personality you can get past the looks but initial attraction wouldn't be there. Partly media fed in that what you are exposed to as beautiful/attractive etc. tends to be the white skinned busty blonde or whatever the media feeds you over time. There is a fascination with some women towards the large black man which is probably why they often go out with white women but purely subjectively I’d say that Asian men and women and oriental cultures don't tend to mix as much. discuss... [/ QUOTE ] Couples are generally of the same ethnicity, but I tend to believe that it something largely imposed upon us by society and based on what inherently we believe is acceptable in the society we live in. Have you asked yourself why you find white women more attactive than black women? Is this purely pre-programming? (very doubtful in my view) or is it because from the earliest age everything you take in - in particular through the media, but also just socity in general, is geared around same ethnicity couples, and therefore by the time you get to an age where you begin to find people attractive you inevitably gravitate towards what you have learned to be "correct". There are an increasing number of mixed couples and I believe that this is through a liberalising of society. Britain, obviously a very liberal society, has one highest rates in the world of mixed-race relationships and, consequently, mixed race people. It is an old stat but in 1997 50% of black men and a third of black women in relationships had a white partner. A fifth of Asian men and 10% of Asian women have a white partner - all of these numbers continuing to rise. Notwithstanding any of that you are making an enormous leap to say that the reason Riz has not scored with this girl may be because she may not find Asian men attractive. He hasn't even spoken to her yet! She might blow him out because he bores her to tears about his Mini or because he is too short! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 It works the other way too - I can't for the life of me imagine myself going out with an English lass. Not for any particular reason, I just don't know any I've found that attractive Last girlfriend was Indian, Serbian before that, then Latvian (with an English girl slotted in the middle somewhere - very short term) etc.And Aussie before that. Married an English lass though - maybe that was enough to put me off them for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
