I actually wanted to marry an Asian woman. Preferably Laotian. But my kidney failure precluded that.

I am a very light skinned person and I have always liked light skinned women. So white wasn't much of a leap. When I was stationed in Okinawa, I was in heaven. My long-term girlfriend there, my first real relationship, was 6 years older than me and she was a Chinese-American government translator. She spoke 5 languages and played concert piano. Yeah she was amazing....

So again, the "leap" to white still wasn't that great. So...when I got back to the states, after having dealt with women without the baggage many black people feel here, I couldn't deal with the "white people out to get me" attitue many black women have. I thought it was a "black" thing. But it seems it's an African-American thing. Women from Africa don't have that attitude. I found myself highly attracted to women from Nigeria, Somalia, and the like. But I was already married though.

So I can't speak for ALL black men. But for me, it's not a skin color thing. It's an attitude. Because there is no way in the world I'd want to be married to Fergie.

I wanted to date and marry a beautiful airline stew, but I guess she lived 1,500 miles away.

So were you not looking for the opposites attract conversation in this thread, so much as saying that you are like Seal, in that you too, like the fair maidens of the world?

OhDear
I am not like Seal. I don't have an ugly scarred up face and I'm not married to a super model.

Are you referring to my sister-in-law, the Duchess of York?

Why the bloody hell can't Prince Charles, first in line to the throne, achieve a higher rank than Commander in the Royal Navy?
