Looking at Whites in interracial relationships, why do you think there are 10 times more White women dating men of other races than White men dating other races of women?
Is it just a coincidence, personality and has nothing to do with color?
Do men of other races see white women as the most beautiful women and therefore have all races chasing after them; or vice versa in the case of White men?
Are White women more open-minded about interracial dating than White men?
A Berlin interracial couple got their interracial twins with different shades of skin color. One of the boys born on July 11 has dark skin and the other has light skin. Coming from two mono-racial parents, German father, Stephan Gerth and Ghanaian mother, Florence Addo-Gerth, this was quite a surprise for everyone even the ward’s head doctor, Birgit Weber. “It is very unusual for twins to be born with different skin color,” Weber said. “It’s the first time for our clinic.”
Welcoming twins into this world is always a momentous event. But this set of black and white twins really caused a sensation last week at the Sana Hospital in Lichtenberg, Germany, with guests trickling to meet the pair. And much as the couple was surprised by the black and white set of twins, Stephan was happy that they were both healthy.
Much as the odds of this happening are one in a million, it has happened before and genetic experts attribute this to the roll of the DNA die which may cause the baby of biracial parents to inherit only the genetic coding for one color. In 2005, British couple both born to mixed-race parents, had twin girls – one is blond and fair-skinned and the other one is dark skinned. And stranger things have happened. In 2006, Kerry Richardson, who is of Nigerian and English descent, and her partner, who is white, gave birth to twins who were both light-skinned at birth. But as they got older, one got darker while the other got lighter.
Florence, the mother said it took a while to process the event. “I imagine sitting at a playground where the other mothers will call me crazy when I tell them the boys are twins,” she said. What mother wouldn’t worry about that? Well, good thing is she has accepted her twins saying, “God has decided that my children should have different skin colors.”
Well, there seems to be a greater force speaking out against racism. And its good that the couple have kids who represent the different races and colors. And to be real brothers, color shouldn’t matter.
Well hopefully, society will accept both children as equals and not subject them to hate as it has happened in some cases. Hope they won’t have to endure what Halle Berry did (”I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn’t fit in. Like I wasn’t as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.” - Halle).
But just for the sake of discussion, how will the couple cope with having to explain to one of the twins why he wasn’t invited for certain parties based on skin color or why they have to go to different schools?
I believe in online dating. And I believe that you can find true love online. I believe that online romance can be just as good as the real thing. But this one caught me off-guard.
A few months ago, married man met woman online. He lives in New York and her in Boston. But this isn’t an ordinary story of a married man trying to get some online … oh no! He has a 15 year old son and is still married to an incapacitated wife. She was in an accident 12 years ago and is in a coma – she can’t do sh**! The dude is now in love with this online cuttie and is not sure if he can divorce his comatose wife especially, because of his son. Whatever happened to ’till death’
On the other hand, this online hottie feels the dude is paying too much attention to his ‘lifeless’ wife (her words not mine) out of pity than to her. And she has tried to convince the man to divorce her but continue supporting her financially.
What advice would you give to both of them? Do you think their love is real?
It’s not about the man’s looks … it’s his riches study says.
If a man wants to settle down, it’s important to be rich, according to a pioneering study of the “marriage market” by psychologists. Much as there have been earlier studies suggesting that women are drawn to men of high status, power and wealth, rather than just looks, this new study proves it all … with evidence.
After surveying more than 20,000 American men, based on historical data from the turn of the last century, when the supply of men goes down – say like during of the First World War, women settled with poorer partners of lesser social sway. But when supply is high, they get choosy, driving a hard bargain for the richest and most powerful men, hence immensely reducing marriage prospects of the male pauper. Its all about market value.
So as the supply of men increased, the effect of wealth and power on the probability of marriage became stronger. “This means that the effects of a male-biased sex ratio fell disproportionately on low-status men, whose probability of marriage was drastically reduced,” said Thomas Pollet in his journal Biology Letters.
The work confirms a prediction made by Frank Pedersen of the University of Delaware in 1991 that the sex ratio has a big impact on the marriage market.
“These questions are ripe for future investigation, but our study has clearly established the more limited fact that sex ratio fluctuations in modern humans can put one sex in the driving seat and allow them to drive a hard bargain.”
Well, we also see men looking for cougars with money. Is it a change in lifestyle or market forces in play? Do riches determine ones marital status these days?
Most of us know Nike’s slogan : ‘Just Do It’. Well this couple applied it in their marriage and had sex for 101 days – STRAIGHT!! and wrote a book ‘Just Do It’
Where is the time for sex after 14 years of marriage, with kids and leading careers? Well this happens to most married couples and Douglas and Annie Brown no exception. And in order to give their marriage a jolt they opted to have lots and lots of sex.Here is an excerpt from “Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!).”
Well it all started when Doug had gone for a conference where some guy from Denmark talked about how men who are involved in relationships but haven’t had sex in 100 or more days actually bond over their sad predicaments.
After dropping those bundles of joy and having a career, it’s like those two things become the BOSS of your sex life. They come first and sex becomes the last thing on your mind. It becomes a question of “How do I squeeze in sex?�
“I’ve got an idea,� Annie said. “Why don’t we start our own club, only we’ll reverse it? Instead of not having sex for 100 days� ― here come those tantalizing seven words ― “let’s have sex for 100 consecutive days.�(Now this a club I would definitely join)
That was Doug’s most exciting day … every man’s dream. Much as it is insane, I wonder what concoction I will give my chick just to hear those seven words. Insane? Yeah!
Insane? Yeah!
