I think it all depends on our backrounds, how we were raised, who what and where we spent a majority of our time, and the comfort level when we were there.
Also can never rule out those pesky hormones that seem to have a mind of their own...
I mean some women are flat out knockouts & don't arouse my curiousity at all.
I look at them like you would a painting...
Then some women considered to be average in looks get my hormones bubbling over..
So I think nature has a lot to do with attraction as well.
I never get offended when a woman says she isn't attracted to me because i know it's a hormone thing...not personal..
I grew up from a baby to 13 in a black-urban-ghetto enviornment.
At 12 I moved to a suburban, mixed college town enviornment comprised of people from all walks of life..
Indian, middle eastern, interracial, asian, black, white, hispanic.
I'm mixed myself, West African-Jamaican-Puerto Rican-Peruvian-Native American-Irish-English-Dutch..
I got peeps tryin' to talk to me from everywhere like I'm from there...
I was spoiled I guess w/ my exposure to peeps from all walks of life.
So what matters to me is simply the person..
I am attracted to a woman of any backround.
My LTR's as an adult have been with women of backrounds of East Indian, Romanian Gypsy, Puerto Rican, Chinese, & my high school love was an Irish Catholic white girl.
I've had close friends through the years that came from Oman, Lebanon, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Tanzania, & England.
I've casually dated the rainbow, literally...lol..
I think the coolest part about this in my experience has been learning all of the cultures first-hand.
In their homes, w/ their families, eating the foods, smoking the water pipes, learning the dances, enjoying the music.
I hate cats who look down on these people, many of whom struggle just to be here. They have to learn a new language, & many of them know multiple languages upon their arrival.
Anyway that's another thread...
The world is heading towards a day when none of this will matter anymore..
It's too bad I'll have to scope it as a spirit somewhere, instead of in the flesh.
