European women really more "liberal" than US WW?

[Mikey]

I find I have grown quite weary of the labels, stereotypes, and generalizations. It would be a full time pursuit to counter each and every one of them with facts and common sense, so at this point I'm just going to let people wallow in their own stupidity, as long as I don't have to deal with them on a personal level.

I've never had to 'struggle' to overcome anything with regards to who I chose to date, nor do I expect I will. I suspect a lot of that would depend upon one's overall outlook, temperment, and personality though. If you're the sort who thinks a BM dating a WW is in some way unusual, exceptional, or outside the norm, then you'd likely interpret more things as a 'struggle'. I do not view BM dating WW as anything other than a man dating a woman, there is nothing exceptional about that to me, it's as 'normal' as breathing. People in relationships sometimes 'struggle', that's life, it has nothing to do with whether they share the same skin tone or not. That may not be the way some people perceive it, but their perception in no way affects my reality.

I am curious how 'who they are', and 'what they do for a living' factors into how much of a struggle they would have to overcome though?

I'm sorry you see that all the time. However, if you're the sort of person who actually allows other people's thoughts to impact your life, you really probably should just give up and stay home. There is absolutely no reason anyone should fear dating a man because of public scrutinty, backlash, stupid comments, or hateful stares. Who cares what ignorant people think? Not me. That extends to my family as well. I'm not going to tolerate that kind of ignorant behavior and baseless opinions from anyone, frankly I just wouldn't want to associate with people like that regardless of whether I happen to be related to them or not. I understand that it can be difficult for people whose families prefer they only date WM, but caving to stupidity like that is just something I wouldn't do. You can either choose to be your own person, or you can live under someone else's thumb the rest of your life, but truly what kind of life is that to live? Not to mention why would you want to date someone who lives their life by everyone else's rules, someone who won't stand up for what they think is right?

well i'm glad SOMEONE for a change appreciated my comments. but yeah things won't change anytime soon. Too much racial tension for my taste.
when its my turn to leave i will aim at a country that isn't an english speaking country.

Does your family people miss you? How did they react to your leaving? Were you happy to leave?

I'd have to agree with Espy, Bhayes. You don't have to leave America to enjoy happiness in a relationship that you're seeking out. Also, when you said you were going to leave America, how easy do you think it would be to learn the language of the other country (supposedly) you would be going to? This ties into the thread you created recently about people's perceptions about American women and flirting. Things will improve in this country, and it would be multiculturalized enough to an extent where race wouldn't matter. When America becomes more like Europe (socially and economically), then things will gradually improve for all of us in the country.

Hopefully south Florida gets wind of this. This place is so culturally biased, its not even funny. Spanish will become the primary language and no one seems to want to integrate, which makes it hard for non-Latin Americans to live here. Hell, I'm having a pretty rough time, and I am looking to move when my lease is up.

that's why the German Chancellor said what she said in the past, about multiculturalism failing over there. Specific groups of people weren't integrating into German society, and were just keeping to themselves and not adopting anything else. How can you move to the US and not speak English? It shuts out the majority of the population that does speak it. I kind of see why they wanted to make English the official language.
