A Difference in Strict Interracial Dating Preferences Between Younger and Older People

Because I subscribe to various interracially themed Bw/Wm romance forums, I regularly see black women or young ladies saying that they're ONLY attracted to white men and vice versa from many of the guys as well and likewise, these same people might often suggest that they're simply not at all attracted members of their opposite sex of their same race. Because I've always been open to the possibilities of making connections with people of all origins, races and ethnicities, I quite often find this particular line of thinking to be irrational, disingenuous, deceptive, immature, manipulative and sometimes, flat out racist.

If a 17 year old young black lady were to tell me that she's ONLY interested in white guys and has NEVER taken interests in young black guys, I'd have to regard that somewhere between conjecture and sincere, but if a 47 year old grown black woman were to say the exact same thing, depending on the success rate of her interracial relational history, I'd have to suspect that there's much more behind it than what meets the eye.

No disrespect to the younger peoples, but you simply haven't had the experiences as many older people have, so when I see a younger person saying this, I just take it at face value thinking that they still have a great deal of life ahead of them to continue growing and developing themselves as individuals. In a way, I kind of miss this particular stage of personal development.

But now I have to put the older woman into perspective. Hypothetically speaking, if she's a 47 year old black woman who has always only dated white men, and out of a string of several failed relationships with white men is STILL only interested in white men, I'd have to question the following:

1.) Is she really capable of being in an intimate relationship, period,

2.) Is she really suited for interracial dating in the first place, and

3.) Why REALLY isn't she interested in men of her own race?
