Interracial relationship

Hm...yes and no. Depends on what is meant by "beauty". Is it only physical handsomeness, as it is commonly referred to nowadays? For a one night stand it suffices, I guess. But here we are speaking of relationships and/or marriages. In that case some kind of inner beauty surely has a significance, from the very start, along with the purely physical handsomeness. Some gestures, way of speaking, of walk, attitudes to life etc, which one man would find attractive and other wouldn't. So a truly physically handsome woman - by commonly accepted standards - would be attractive to someone and not attractive to someone else. That is what inner beauty is about.

But that the outer beauty is the first stimulant for a man to get interested in some woman in the first place, to take the notice of her at all, is not to be doubted.

I agree. This may be subjective and vary from one person to another, but when I meet a girl/woman for the first time, her outer beauty (certain physical characteristics that I find appealing) is what draws me to her. In order to build a stable and working relationship it is important that both partners possess a certain inner beauty that they recognize in each other. That inner beauty becomes more and more important through time, and renders the outer one from a vital characteristic to just another nice attribute.

Yes.

Beauty is beauty. Subjectiveness is subjectiveness. Only archetypes change. Here we are dealing with a very personal kind of beauty, what appeals to each of us, what's attractive.

I only mean beauty as it is commonly understood, what you said :

as opposed to what is ugly. But not the ideal type of modern beauty (ie filiform models and the vulgus pack of Hollywood actress or whatever it is).

Yes. The first things people see:

#1 appearance
#2 the way you move
#3 the way you speak and what you say (incidentally but it comes last)

It takes only a few seconds, they are primordial. I don't believe we are referring to the same thing. Gestures for instance are not part of inner beauty to me. It takes more than a few moments to read someone's mind.

Some gestures, way of speaking, of walk, attitudes to life etc, which one man would find attractive and other wouldn't. So a truly physically handsome woman - by commonly accepted standards - would be attractive to someone and not attractive to someone else. That is what inner beauty is about.

Yes, however attitudes to life only are part of inner beauty to me.

Indeed.

I also think that inner beauty is important, I will never marry a stupid woman but... she has not to be horrible, only this

non-european women in my opinion are uglier than europeans women and they are too different to me, i can't think to me marrying a non-european women

What do you find "ugly" about non-Europid women?

I don't like them because they are too different from my idea of women, their skin, their faces, their bodies etc

[Susi]

I find non-Europid men ugly too ^^ and they usually smell funny :x

[Pro Hibernia]

I don't think you can say the entire human species is "ugly" and the only exception is Europid men and women.

I generally don't find non-Europid females attractive, but that doesn't make them "ugly", nor does it make them all "ugly". I have found plenty of non-Europid women who are very attractive, Spaniards for instance. (Joke Mynydd ). Now because I admit I find some non-Europid women attractive, that doesn't mean I am going to try and jump into bed with them. It just means I can admit when I find a female attractive, regardless of race.

[Cirrus]

But do you mean European or Europid ?

Dani talked about "European", and it's not the same thing.

I don't think he's making a distinction between European and Europid.

Well, as for non-Europids being 'ugly' or not, everyone has their own opinions, but when talking about race mixing in general, this is pretty much irrelevant anyway (not in this thread though, since the question was 'would you go into relationship with person of another race), I don't think there's a need to argue about this.

The same has happened in North America.

ie what is ethnicity, race, sub-race, meta-ethnicity, etc...?

Yes, you're terrible indeed and not only with definitions.

[Strengthandhonour]

Since the topics of ugly and beauty came up..
I recommend any of the following reads by famous Italian author Umberto Eco...

and..

makes some interesting points of how the environment around us influences what we find beautiful and some interesting data showing how what is perceived as beautiful has changed drastically through the centuries.
I think claiming all non-European women are ugly is a bit shallow in my opinion. I have seen SOME that I thought were attractive, when it comes to personal relationships though..that is another topic.

[Pirate]

I have the first one at home, nice read.

Hum, my preferences stay firmly on the European continent and tend to rest in England, though I don't think I'd have a problem with someone who is Dutch or Northwestern European in general. I've been on two or three dates with Russians but I found that the cultural differences were really too much.

You may not like Scottish people I don’t know but what I can tell you is if your European you belong to the 1 race the people of Scotland for the majority are European if you mean breed as in Norse or Celtic the Scots are the Scots and mostly Celtic. There’s more diversity in England than Scotland so the chances of race mixing is far greater also the English are a mixture of Europeans also even to a larger extent than the Scots.

What I am trying to say is Scots are European and the real people of Scotland have always been European you may have Celtic and Norse blood or Dutch and Celtic but your still European.
May I just say something also your probably a very attractive and attractive spoken women Susi.

Why Europeans find non Europeans attractive in most cases is because non Europeans in the west show characteristics of Europeans and many show features of Europeans ie mixed race.

Some do it maliciously such as black men and Asian men hunting white women for the sole reason to use and abuse them for sexual purposes like a sex toy then disregard them when there bored.

After being in the west or being influenced by European culture they learn due to there environment they have to even if they do not wish to. They learn how to talk how to communicate like us and to even cloth and dress like us or similar to us to Europeans. They also try to look like us African women put extensions into there hair to
