Its healthy to be a bit protective of your gf/bf, just not to the point where they can't ever talk to another boy or girl heh

It's not always that, sometimes jealousy come stem from the first time you really care about someone.

I dunno like when you have someone that you have this perception of being so perfect and amazing and ticking every single box you ever had and surpassing all your dreams, sometimes you just think "man anyone would want them", and this feeling that they're on such a high level that you don't feel secure about your own position.

So when they're talking to others, it's not about not trusting them more than it is being insecure about yourself or just having a strong sense of fear that you may have screwed up somewhere to drive them away.

Strong feelings can cause all sorts of irrational paranoid episodes, it's really quite sad, but quite cute at the same time lol.

1. I hate fat people.

2. Sexual preference/physical attraction is not racism. Am I dwarfist because I don't like ****** porn? Am I a Nazi if I prefer blue eyes over brown? Am I being shallow if I like girls with giant feet more than girls with tiny feet?

Like Teran said, personalities don't give me boners no matter what.
******* belie a lifestyle difference. As for the other two, phrase them similar to what has been posted in this thread: "All brown eyed girls are unattractive" and "all girls with tiny feet are unattractive", and if you believe those then yes, you are a ****ty person.

edit: and after a girl cheated on her boyfriend with me, I find that being jealous accomplishes literally nothing, so I am not a jealous person.

what if I said if you take any girl that has brown eyes, no matter how smoking hot she is, give her blue eyes and she would instantly become more attracitive to me.

does that make me a bad person? cus if so, your logic needs some work.

It would just make you an idiot for caring about eyes.

Who posted that? The posts I have seen mostly say "I don't like *such and such physical characteristic*. It is unattractive to me."

If I say I don't like little feet or brown eyes, I am not devaluing the people who have those characteristics. I am simply saying that those characteristics aren't physically attractive to me. I don't find every person in the world attractive, I am a horrible racist and shallow person.

And no, being a ****** doesn't necessarily imply a huge lifestyle difference. I specifically said ****** porn because I'm not looking for a relationship or even fantasies about a relationship when I'm watching porn, I'm looking for arousing imagery to masturbate to. I don't masturbate to lifestyles and I don't have sex with them either.

But yeah, if you want to keep on with the ridiculous PC white knighting thing, go on ahead. I'm sure there is someone somewhere who appreciates it.

LOL. Why don't you open up a business, tell any blacks that walk in with an application "Sorry, your race tends to be the least productive" and see what kind of "ridiculous pc white knighting" happens.

i believe jealousy comes from a lack of trust.
eh, not really

This.

The strongest biological instanct (after the will to live) is the will to pass on one's genes to future generations. The most secure way to insure that you fulfill your primal instinct is to have a secure partner. Jealousy stems from the fact that there is potential that another individual could be a better mate to your chosen partner and so you would fail to pass on your genes cuz she would choose him over you. Thats it really. biology quite easy explains most of the things people tend to fill with emotional fluff.

Its not that your don't trust your partner per se, its just that the very real possibility that someone could be at a better evolutionary advantage than you, is disconcerting.

18spikes:

What?

So refusing employment to people based on skin color is equivalent to not being sexually attracted to certain physical attributes? Are you implying that people need my sexual prowess to survive and if I don't want to sleep with them, they will lose their homes and livelihood? Thanks!

Do you find anyone unattractive? If so, what about them is unattractive? Is it really as simple and plain as "lifestyle differences" and nothing more? There is no physicality to your choosing of a mate or sexual partner?

Argument by analogy is one of the poorest forms of reasoning in most cases.
I hate it when people use analogies as the main form to progress their "arguments".

edit: lol at this post coming after ^that post

Some people prefer to decorate their dining room with blue curtains over red curtains, or vice versa.
Some people prefer to have lunch with potato chips over corn chips, or vice versa.
Some people prefer to take a walk during Autumn over Spring, or vice versa.
Some people prefer to engage in a romantic relationship with Asians over Caucasians, or vice versa.

Preference CAN stem from racism... But it often doesn't.

Analogies can work, but you can't just analogize anything to anything. Just because the topic is race doesn't mean any possible racial analogy you come up with will make perfect sense (or in 18spikes case, any sense at all)

Indeed, analogies can work as a minor point to aid your argument. but when they are the focus point of the argument, i just face palm. We aren't actually discussing the topic anymore, but instead, we are discussing how the topic is similar and different to other topics, which is actually a different discussion all together.

But yea, its apparent that no one else shares 18's point of view so lets drop it.

Poor LT, I guess you'll always have to be considered a racist, and probably almost every "-ist" there is, like the rest of us.

Whatever it is you choose to do, I would be up front about it. Dont say anything that you dont actually mean, and dont imply anything that could lead her to think something else. When it comes to other ppls feelings, we dont need any bill clintons lol.

Start by asking her if she wants to talk about it, if she says no, ask 1 more time to show u care, if still no...proceed to the ****ing.

If she says yes, then u gotta talk about it, then hit her with, I know what will make u feel better lol....proceed to the ****ing.

EZ lol

I'm not physically aroused by black people. I'd love to elaborate but I'm late for a rally to introduce apartheid policies into Australia.

I wish, then I could be as racist as I wanted.

Also, you can acknowledge someones attractiveness without being turned on by someone. Case and point: Chill is a good looking guy but I don't want to sleep with him.

It easy for gay guys to say girls are good looking because it's socially acceptable and nobody bats an eyelid.

Stupid society and its double standards.

I have black friends but I racially abuse them too much so I dunno if people would say I treat them like friends.

But we totally are, you ***s just don't know what banter is.

This be bro love.

He isn't that great... but for me, I don't really have one. I suppose if I were to pick, I would say young Sean Connery. As for girls, Pink. She isn't fake, down to earth, attractive, and would beat you up if you got in her way :p.

Short post: I am not attracted to white people. Am I racist? Actually, no, don't answer that.

Long post: Physical aesthetics in a culture or a society are more often racist in nature than not, but that's an allegation directed toward the group rather than the individual. All societies would have started off racist back in the day because people had to be attracted to people within their own communities, or no one would have reproduced. In modern cosmopolitan areas though, standards of beauty still often favor and are defined by which race or ethnicity has a higher social standing or greater cultural significance.

This also affects the LGBT community, and being a minority within a minority is complicated. If anything, where casual hookups are the norm, people are more likely to be affected by beauty standards influenced by media or (sub)culture.

That said, no matter how often I hear people say that they aren't attracted to black women or Asian men, I see more black men dating black women and Asian women dating Asian men in my neighborhood than interracial couples. That tells me that no matter what people say about preferences, it doesn't always factor into their real life relationships.

I knew a white girl who pretty much only liked black guys. But then she ended up with a Latino guy.

I think preferences are ideals, and yeah they can be influenced by society's standards, which are often racist. But then again, ideals are imaginary. They don't exist. People operate outside of their preferences more often than we think.

/long post is long. I shut up now.

LOL finding one race more attractive than others is in no way racist. I'm not attracted to black girls but that doesn't mean I have a problem with them or black people in general, it's just physical attraction.

I had a fatty friend who (even when I was doing sports) was more active than me. He'd play more sports recreationally than me, he'd run around the block every day, he'd eat healthy, all sorts of things.

I'm naturally a sloth and yet i've always been in tremendous shape, so yeah you can't say a fat person is necessarily lazy. :3

theres a difference between fat and bulky, and after going to the gym for a while I can spot it in an instant. girls who powerlift are actually pretty ****ing hot even if theyre "big". if a skinny/average person is lazy I find that unattractive but it's harder to judge on appearance. girls who look *fit* are immediately more attractive to me. regardless of their skin color.
