In my whole long life I once, briefly, for a fleeting moment, have had some curiousity about a Chinese guy; same thing, only once and very fleeting, about an Indian male friend.

Such men constitute a very significant minority in Silicon Valley where I live and work, and it behooves me to stop being so rigid and widen my horizons. Eventually I would want to do online dating locally and being racially rigid is going to drastically reduce my range of options.

I do at times find Indian women or Chinese women or Korean women beautiful. But men - no way. They are sexless to me. Horrible, I know.

Should I try to fight it, to change it, or just resign to the fact? Are those things even in our control? Have you had a similar problem?
Not bi-curious yet? Maybe you are since you thought enough to write it....let me know. Everybody loves a cute hampster. BUT....attraction is attraction and it applies to all sexes and races. The people in your area may feel at a disadvantage because of what they have to choose from too. I don't think it says anything negative at all about you. Dating is tough. I have done online dating before and it was fun but I think you have to be very careful in how you disclose information and how you go about publicly meeting them. I usually date the same "type" people. One time (ok, 2 times) I stepped out of the box and dated someone of Hispanic origin, and it rocked my world....big time.
