Has this been done before?

Lord I hope not.

But it comes off a current Off-Topic thread so I thought it might be interesting!

Enjoy.

Nuts. If the answer is NO for you in either category, you're gonna have to check OTHER in that category. I semi-mucked up my questions. Sorry.

I wasn't looking for a foreigner, but I thought it would be an interesting perk if he was.

Ok, I'll proxy-answer here.

No (she wasn't specifically looking for a foreigner), other (because 1st answer was "no"), religious (priority was getting born-again Christian husband).

Ever since I was little I always said that I wanted to have mixed babies (half black/white). I wasn't really looking for a particular ethnic group, I just made a singles ad to kill some time. However I was lucky enough to have found Marlon and despite some rather interesting cultural differences, we were definitely made for each other!

I had no intentions on marrying a foreigner....I always thought that I would get stuck with some nerdy american dude, the thought never crossed my mind.

But I just happened to fall for a Jamaican.....they are very charming guys

The answer issss YES after my American EX I wanted something different..with some class, culture,and customs.. and even those little cute superstitions..
I also had a dream-fantasy about it starting at about 9 or 10 years old..

I never had any intentions of seeking out a foreign born spouse. It just happened that I fell in love with my Canadian. luv.gif

"No" and "it just happened". Very glad that it did though!

In my case, it's the opposites attract (physically).


As I've mentioned in another post, although I find both Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce gorgeous, if I had my pick it would be Beyonce.

Other celebrities that I am most attracted to... (tend to be more voluptuous....badonka-donk and all that...grrrr)


Salma Hayek
Jennifer Lopez
Rosario Dawson star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif

It was hard for me to vote in this poll. I wasn't really looking for anyone or anything when I met my fiance. What I did know is that I wanted my mate to share my background. I guess it was just fate that we are the same background. He wasn't looking either and it just kinda happened.

My previous marriage was to someone that was a different nationality than me and it didn't work out for many reasons, one of the most important being the difference in nationality. We got married 4 months before Sept 11 and after that he started looking at arabs in a different light. I wouldn't say he was being racist but he wanted to be as far away from it as possible, he even indicated he didn't want our kids to learn to speak arabic. I couldn't deal with that, it was just hard for me to build a relationship and family with someone who didn't want to accept that part of my life.

I was not specifically looking for a foreign mate, and actually didn't wnat to fall for someone who was living abroad. But I did notice that most of my prospects were either Chinese or Philipino, so I guess that's what I really wanted afterall.

I did not go looking for a man different nationality, but I am:
Attracted to the physical appearance of a certain ethnic group (my husband's ethnic group
Attracted to the values of a certain culture
Religious reasons (Not too many people of my nationality have the same religion as me now)

My family was/is appalled. But I donnot care.

I was on vacation with girlfriends when I met David... never thought it would work, and it has.

So glad I that the one time I was wrong, whistling.gif tongue.gif , that was it!

I wasn't really looking for anyone, let alone an American.

That was almost 6 years ago and now I can't imagine my life without her !! biggrin.gif
