Common myths about Interracial Dating: Busted!

Posted by Leticia, 16 Jul

The world is a melting pot of different cultures, races, and ethnicities. With the increasing global connectivity, interracial dating is becoming more common and accepted. However, there are several misconceptions surrounding interracial dating that can cause unnecessary discomfort and prejudice. Here are some of the most common myths, along with the facts that debunk them:

Myth 1: Interracial relationships don't last

Relationship longevity is not determined by race or ethnicity, but by the commitment, compatibility, and effort of the individuals involved. Many interracial couples have enjoyed long, loving relationships and marriages. From celebrities to ordinary people, numerous examples defy this myth.

Myth 2: People who date interracially are rebelling

Attributing a person's romantic choice to rebellion is an oversimplification. While some people may date interracially as an act of rebellion, most people do so because they are attracted to the person they're dating, regardless of their racial background. The assumption that interracial dating is a form of rebellion perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Myth 3: Interracial dating equals an easy ticket to citizenship

This stereotype is particularly harmful and misleading. While there are instances of people exploiting relationships for citizenship, this is not exclusive to interracial relationships. It's important to recognize that the majority of people engage in relationships for reasons of love, respect, and mutual interest.

Myth 4: Interracial couples face no significant challenges

Like any relationship, interracial couples may face challenges. However, they might also face unique hurdles due to cultural differences or societal prejudice. Understanding these challenges and working through them can often make the relationship stronger.

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
