I think almost by definition. It may or may not be a bad thing, but preferences determined by race are... racist.Ratrat said:Not being attracted to other races is racist?

Personally, I would go to the Getty.
Yes._Isaac said:The Getty Museum? Have you even been there?
Wow.hateradio said:Yes.
royalan said:I don't think it's wrong, exactly...but to be so immediately dismissive of the idea of being attracted to certain races and to be so brazen about it online certain makes me question a person's intelligence, and definitely places them high on the douche scale. But that's just me.
I mean, we all have our preferences, but if someone I'm not attracted to messages me and I don't feel up to responding...i just don't respond. I can't stand the profiles on these types of sites that end up just being long lists of what a person doesn't like. I tend to find it off-putting even when I meet the criteria.

I'm not sure if it's still cool, but I used to hang out at Akbar in Silver Lake when I was in LA regularly a few years ago. Kind of hate all of the WeHo bars myself. Abbey seems like it's just a place for shrill straight girls to scream real loud now.ivysaur12 said:LA GayGAF: Any places you recommend? I went to Abbey last night. It was okay.

That's kind of like saying being gay is sexist against women.Dead Man said:I think almost by definition. It may or may not be a bad thing, but preferences determined by race are... racist.

You just aren't attracted to that race.
I feel weird talking about this because I don't know enough about the subject to really start any intelligent conversation, but aren't these two situations kind of similar?royalan said:Well, not exactly. Gay men aren't attracted to women because inherent within them: their sexuality.
Not being attracted to a certain race is a preference, not some inherent repulsion...
Fantastical said:I feel weird talking about this because I don't know enough about the subject to really start any intelligent conversation, but aren't these two situations kind of similar?
I can't make myself attracted to a race that I am not already attracted to, can I? I mean, do we get to choose who we are attracted to at all? Is it fair to say that we are born with an attraction to men or women but not born with an attraction for other traits?
Please educate me, lol.

krypt0nian said:Never feel bad about who or what qualities, physical or otherwise you are attracted to. They are innate and are fine. Not being physically attracted to a race is really no different from not being turned on by shorter guys or men with red hair. You certainly didn't wake up one morning and decide your preferences or what makes your dick hard.
Preferences can shift over time, but you're not required to be turned on my everyone.
royalan said:I suppose that's true, I just really can't fathom it, personally. Hot comes in all races, hair and eye colors to me. Come up with any combination of those qualities, and guaranteed I can think of someone who exemplifies an attractive form of that combination.
I'm always weirded out by people who can so boldly write off an entire race as something they'd never be attracted to. Then again, I come from pretty multi-ethnic background, so that might have something to do with it.

idwl said:okay I'm gonna sound like a dick now ;(
My girlfriend has left to study in the netherlands about 2 weeks ago, we were friends for about a year and were together for the last two months and lost our virginities to each other.
Now the thing is I know I'm not good with long distance relationships and I've already started to distance myself . She knew I was bi before we started being together.. and now I just lust over every hot guy I see... Its only been 2 weeks and I'm worried about what I'm gonna do. =(
I Don't know... Thing is I just feel like I need that physical component of a relationship. Talking on the phone/emails/texts just doesn't do it for meroyalan said:Really, your bisexuality has nothing to do it. If you were completely straight (or gay) you'd still be lusting after other people. The real issue is whether or not you should stick it out with your girlfriend.
Doesn't seem like you want to.

HappyPuppy said:The guy I'm currently dating I met on okcupid and things are going really well, he is meeting my close friends on saturday cause it will be my bday on thursday wwuuuuuuu. If things go as planned we will be eating ants, huitlacoche, chapulines and play some Werewolves and villagers.
Remember that online dating is another option we have, more options equal more possibilities. Good luck in your search.
Sagitario said:Ewwwww. Where are you?
ciD_Vain said:So... the really sweet and nice guy i've been dating, the one i've been goo goo eyed over...I told him it wasn't going to work out. Ever since he went to Disneyland with his ex, i've noticed a dramatic drop in affection from him. Long story short, i called him out if he's still in love with his ex; he denied it, but i can tell that he is. I told him we wouldn't work out seeing each other if he can't move on from his ex, especially if his family still loves him and invites him everywhere. In fact, he and his family are going for a Vegas trip for 5 days and guess who's also going... -_-"
Woo! back on the dating scene!
Based on the other posts/stuff it seems as if his family wants him to get back to his ex. The surprise invitation to Disney probably triggered "some feelings"; since then the guy avoided ciD like a plague after that. Even something that ciD planned as a "surprise date"; turned out wasn't that much of a surprise, because his ex told him about it (kinda giving the impression that the ex wanted to take him there)._Isaac said:What do you mean a drop in affection? Has he been ignoring you? It must have been quite a dramatic drop for you to dump him so quickly. Is that the only evidence you have that he's in love with his ex? He told you he's done with him, so at least he must be trying. Anyway, that sucks that it's over. He seemed like a cool guy.
I guess signs like no reply to texts for hours and hours, and when he did it'd be one word replies- calls never picked up, never holding my hand anymore, never saying compliments anymore, and less considerate overall. one little thing is when he smoked cigs he used to ask me all the time to please move the opposite direction of the smoke because he didn't want it in my face, but now he literally just blows it in my face. He also never did the whole good morning anymore and never bothered to start conversations._Isaac said:What do you mean a drop in affection? Has he been ignoring you?

I can tell he was trying, but when i ask him if he wants to chill after work, and i get a reply 4 hours later saying "next time. i'm at the movies with my ex" wtf is that shit. LOL
Haha it's cool. I'm really sad it couldn't work out. He's a really sweet guy and I would liked have to worked things out, but I can tell he's still attached to his ex. I'm in no position to tell him that his family needs to stop inviting him everywhere and I understand that completely. I really like him, but I don't want to hurt myself ya knowRatskyWatsky said:Aww, that's shitty. From your posts, he sounded like a good match for you. Sorry it didn't work out.![]()

Teh Hamburglar said:I am experimenting with PS3 games and noticed a distinct lack of quality RPGs. It seems they are all about Western RPGs such as Mass Effect and Fallout/Oblivion type games. I played FF13 and I wanted to puke. So many things wrong with this game. They took 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
1) On rails RPG? Who the hell thought this was a good decision?
2) Ugly character designs. I wanted to murder half the cast based on their looks alone. And the other half for how they acted in the "story".
3) So easy. I maybe had to retry a fight a couple times but for the most part it was smooth sailing. I never really felt like I accomplished anything difficult or worthwhile.
4) I equip weapons and 2 accessories? This is supposed to be a RPG right?
sigh. I looked up FF13-2 and it looks like they're still trying to validate the FF movie environment. I want Moogles and technomages and Chocobos again. Its as if they decided to suck all the wonder and fantasy out of the FF game.
