Preference for non-American mates

[Caladan 19]

Green-eyed girl, I thought you were 4th generation American? Not trying to start anything, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'not ethnically American' -- just not ethnically whitebread?

I'm the only one in my family to date a non-American, and yes, Canadian counts. Sisters are younger than me though, so it's hard to say who they'll end up with.

My dad was born here during a visit by his parents to the states. His dad and grandfather became Americans the year before I was born; my mom never did. I'm not sure what that makes me, but since my grandfather and great grandfather earned their citizenship, I count them before me. I don't think that just being born on American soil makes you American; it may make you a US citizen, but not an American.

My first marriage was to an American man, white skin dark hair. After my divorce I went out with a man from Greece, then a man who was half greek half lebanese, a few from India. Living near a major Univeristy there are people from all over the world attending.

When I met my DH I was NOT LOOKING for anything or anyone. I was taking a break from dating, ok from men in general! I adore his accent. How is skin contrasts mine. How he is oldfashioned in many ways. What can I say, no man can compare to him.

I would say that I had no preference, but my track record would say otherwise.

I dunno. Lemme ask my fiance (who just happens to be marrying an American) and get back to you.

Never mind. It dawned on me after my last post that I must have misread the question (and I did). Too late to edit previous.

I've been scratching my head over your last post.

Pssst. She's just trying to instigate stuff. It's better if we don't ask...

Abort instigation! Abort instigation!

Ever since I was a young teenager I dreamed of being married to a woman from the South Pacific. With a Filipino wife I think I've come pretty close to realizing that dream, and I really couldn't be happier. However, I was not purposely looking for such when I came to know Fely. I just got lucky.

I'm still not sure what "ethnically American" means

Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

I can say I have preference to non-American. Not to say all guys are the same, but all that I have met have been exactly what I donnot want in a man.

This is my 2nd marriage too, both have been to non_Americans. My ex was very Americanized thou. Which was good and bad. I much prefer my current husband...and enjoy that he is not American or Americanized. He is very chivalrous and has that old world charm, which i have never found in an American man. (maybe there are out there, but i have not found any)

I'm not surprised at the question. Americans tend to think of everyone else as "ethnic" except for themselves.
