Was chatting to a friend yesterday - she's recently moved to a new area, and I was asking how her love life was going there, whether she'd met any nice guys blah blah blah.
She replied "well no, there's no black guys here". I was a bit speechless at first. As far as I know she's had two relationships with black guys (her most recent relationships), but has had several relationships in her past with white guys too.
We all grew up in a big, diverse city, and most of us (group of girl mates) have had relationships with a variety of different people from different ethnicities, races, creeds etc.
After I had the conversation with her I thought about it, and I think I know 3 other women who exclusively "only date black guys". I've heard them all say it before but thought it was more tongue in cheek, but now I think about it, I've never known them to be with anyone of any other background.
Is it me, or is it strange to limit your choice in men to one particular race?
Of all my other friends, we don't really have "a type". Of my past relationships, they're all very different, and I wouldn't say there was a trend as such - on average they've generally been taller than me, so maybe that's my "type", although I've never actively sought out taller partners.
So I guess my question is - do any of you have a specific "type" (black, Asian, blue eyes, blonde hair, body builders?), and if so have you found someone who fits your type and you've stayed together?
Sideline - I've no real reason for wanting to know other than curiosity and nosey-ness! 😉
