I stumbled upon this and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
I am attracted to intelligent, caring females..... race/age/culture (economic class)/religion/political views have never had anything to do with my attraction for them. I have been attracted to white, hispanic, ebony, asian, older, younger, of different culture, religion and so on. The reason being is I hope they can teach me about the differences of our upbringings and my own culture, thus rounding me even more.
What would get me back in my younger days would be to see male and female alike say, "I only date this race, so I can't be prejudice." My feeling was that in itself was prejudicial because they limited themselves to a specific ethnicity/race/religion/etc. And limiting yourself to who you allow yourself to fall in love with is ridiculous and doing yourself a severe injustice, as love, IMHO, truly is blind.
Perhaps this idea stems from one of my first crushes. The girl/lady stated she could only date a certain religion's boys/men because of her family's belief. Thus ending any hope I thought I had with her. It really opened my 9th grade eyes as to how selfish and difficult dating outside of culture can be.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
