    I am curious how many people here care about the race or religion of a possible mate.

    I definitely wouldn't be with a gipsy. I probably wouldn't enjoy being with a religious fanatic either

    I don't care what religion any one is. I am curious how open people are to those who are different than themselves.

    As for me, I am happily married to a woman who is both a different race and a different religion than my own.

    Why such opposition to being with a Gypsy? Granted, I do not know much about them, but I can certainly imagine there are at least a couple of cute Gypsy chicks around. Why unequivocally opposed?

    the definition of marriage itself is so twisted that in this world one must first come to terms with what it means to different people before you can get a worthwhile response on this poll.

    for instance, I find that marriage is a lifelong committment. Many don't. Race does not play a bearing on what I do with my life, but religion does.


    However there are many who believe divorce is just as viable an option as marriage is, so religion and longevity of marriage is not important.

    Gypsys are huge liars, that's why. xD;

    Nah, I wouldn't mind being with someone religious, but I would really prefer an Atheist. I don't want my spouse stuffing that bullshit down my throat.

    Generally (I'm a whitey) I'm not that attracted to people who aren't white. I don't know why, it's just how it is. Although I must say, Will Smith is DAMN FINE... Damn fine.

    I actually prefer to have a partner who is a different race, have done for a while. We also have different religious views. It's no big deal, works just fine.

    I dont think we should compare people with race or religion. According to me one there are only 2 religions which exist now "rich" and "poor"

    Have you ever lied? Please say yes or I will call you a Gypsy. :D

    If I want a belief crammed down my throat, I just look around for a webmaster forum poster that doesn't post outside the P&R section.

    I don't believe it's wrong to marry someone out of your race. I am just not attracted to them. I think marrying outside of your religion is disaster waiting to happen. Beliefs can impact the way you raise children, the regular activities you take part in, etc. It's just not a good situation.

    Race is irrelevant for me as long as the other person is also trying to walk the same path as me.

    I do not care about it: I would marry anyone of ANY RACE and ANY RELIGION. It does not really matter for me.
    It depends on the person, if the girl or woman is funny and humorous and hot i would marry her. ;)

    I doubt i could be happy with someone who believed in a religion. I just find it hard to intellectually respect anyone who believes so fully in something so absurd, obscene and unsupported.

    race wouldn't make a difference.

    Race makes no difference to me, but I cant marry outside my faith as in my religion marriage is a sacrament of the church to me. I definately have to have a family thats religiously yoked.

    I wouldn't marry anyone who's a religious zealot. As long as they don't try to force their faith on me and as long as it doesn't control their life then I'd be fine with any religion.

    Race doesn't really matter, except there are a couple races I don't really find attractive... that's not to say I would never meet anyone though.

    First I have to agree with a previous poster, in questioning the definition and value of marriage. I don't know if it's my cynicism or realism that I view marriage as horse crap. I'm somewhere in believing polygamy or no relational commitment is best. The long held view that someone can "own" someone else, that "I'm all yours and no one else's" seems so immature to me. I personally believe this instinctive attachment to others, making others feel special and feeling "special" in return is a product of the ego. We just love feeling so "different" and "special" from everyone else that we are in some bond that no one else can have. But the "bond" itself is self-destructive, evident in marriage statistics. Or is that just a reflection of our immoral society?

    But in any case I take back my vote that I would "marry" any religion or race. I could probably live well with and share common ground with anyone BUT a Christian.

    Will Smith is whiter than Tim Allen.

    I personally don't plan to get married, but I would date/marry women of any race. I do not want to seriously date or marry a religious woman because I do not want to hear about religion and if we have children I do not want my children raised under religion.
