Okay I'm an American girl of Indian origin. My parents moved from India. I want to know would white guys date an Indian girl? And, I'm being serious. Because whether they would or wouldn't, it seems like it's so much harder for them. I know one of the reasons is because there are a bunch of stereotypes that people lock on to us, like the following which I want to disprove:

indian girls smell of spicy food and onions- wow this just comes from people who think indian girls cook all the time and only one type of food. i'm only a high school senior, but seriously i enjoy indian food, italian, chinese, mexican, everything.

indian girls have very strict parents- well maybe some do, but i don't. i have the most open minded parents, they are completely open to me dating anyone and really hold no judgement. they're pretty liberal in their ideologies.

indian girls wait for sex- well some do, just as in all other races. personally, i disagree that marriage should suddenly give the label 4 sex
you have sex when you feel it's right.

indian girls are super religious- there are devout hindus in india, but not everyone is. and the thing about hindus is that it is one of the most open religions out there. it embraces so many other religions, just look at the diversity of religion in india. i don't understand how religion could stop you from dating a girl. personally, i consider myself a hindu atheist. i believe in only the philosophical part of the religion, but not to the extreme.

all indians are hardcore vegetarians- well i'm disproving this one by saying many people restrict meat. the only actual meat that almost everyone stays away from is cow meat. nevertheless nowadays many eat meat. i fit the stereotype, however, because i have personally chosen to become a vegetarian because i believe it is morally the right thing to do. nevertheless, my whole family eats meat.

so i just want to know why white guys don't date indian girls that often? stereotypes are so generalizing.
i didn't mean to specifically target white men. but i think other races don't generalize the indian girls as much, and so i didn't address it that way.
but this post is more for anyone outside of the indian race considering whether or not to date an indian girl.

I'm dating an Indian girl right now and let's just say her parents are the "devout" Hindu parents you are talking about. We have been really close friends for about 3 years now and only for about 6 months have been dating. Right now her parents think we're just good friends and haven't broken it to them yet. I'm 23 and she's 21. I have never heard of those stereotypes but I would hope they're not true. I think my girlfriend is flat out gorgeous and I know so many attractive Indian girls. I have always been attracted to them and have always gotten along well with Hindu's because they are very nice, loving people, and aren't spoiled and don't take things for granted like many Americans do. They're very respectful of other faiths.

Her parents are strict and very religious but she really isn't (I hope it doesn't cause grief for her down the road). We had sex when we felt it was right, and cared about each other enough to do so. I would say my girlfriend is very "Americanized" though because she grew up here. Her parents have a hard time seeing her point of view. I suppose one day her parents are going to be very disappointed she's breaking the "barrier" but we both want to be happy and that's the most important thing. I also am very respectful to the Hindu culture. I love it, I really would love to get to know her family deeper, she even has been teaching me to speak some basic Hindi.

If anyone else is in a similar situation and ever wants to discuss it I think about it alot so feel free to message or e-mail me.

I'm really hoping I don't offend her family down the road. To answer your question: I think the BIGGEST reason white guys might not be open to dating Hindu's is because of the culture barrier and the strict parents, I thought about that alot before dating my current g/f, but cared about her too much to let that stop me. With my parents its no big deal, I can date whoever I want, I'm Christian, but with Hindu's its alot more serious to them.

More snow is coming. Thank God I have electricity still!
Cooking for myself and my child. Need meals for 5 days. Nearest store which is about 1/2 mile away, but my child cannot make it that far. The snow is too high to drive in. No work. No School. More snow.

For now though, here are my ingredients. If you can think of some tasty meals, desserts/treats, etc., that I can make, I would appreciate it.

2 pounds chicken
2 cans tuna
Frozen hashbrowns, frzn peaches, green beans
Cereal – 2cps rice krispies, 2cps cornflakes
Fresh- Cherries, spinach leaves, 1/2 cabbage head, celery, 3 carrots.
2 Cream of chicken and 2 cream of mushroom soups
Lots of spaghetti noodles
Peanut butter
2 cups cheddar cheese
1 loaf bread going stale
Rice
1 can evap milk
8 eggs
vanilla wafers
2 bananas
flour, sugar, mayo, ketchup, vinegar, italian dressing, lots of butter, big spice rack
1 bag marshmallows

No Milk.
That's all I have. Plse no recipes with other ingredients
Wow, great ideas so far. Thanks very much. 5 days is a lot of time, and though I have quite a few things, I just wasn't sure how to make them stretch over 5 days, in creative ways that would convince my child to eat them. Thank you! Can't wait to see what others come up with too.
Second edit: Thank you again! I love the rice krispies idea with the corn flakes added in. I can do that with the marshmallows and the butter. Great idea!
That peach smoothie is also a wonderful idea. We will definition do that, and also figured out, with all of your help that I can make a peach crisp with the flour, sugar, butter, and peaches. That will be wonderful. All of the other ideas are fantastic. I love the idea of making homemade soup, and that tuna rice ball idea is great too. I appreciate the help so much. I really think we can make it just fine through these next 5 days. So many wonderful ideas. Waiting to see if there are anymore.

Since your bread is going stale, put it in a paper bag and squirt the bag with water and bake it a little in the oven. It will come out crispy and delicious and you can use it like bread crumbs you buy in the store. Add some spices from your big spice rack. Would taste good on the chicken.

-a little pan of rice krispy treats,
-you could boil the eggs and make some egg salad with the mayo
-peaches, sugar, ice and the evap. milk could make like a peach frosty in your blender
-make a casserole with the chicken, cream of chicken soup, celery, carrots, cheese and bread crumbs (you can always toast the bread and crumble it up if you dont want to do it the bag way)

Hey I just saw Twilight for my fourth time and I love that movie!!!! Omigod this is the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life. Ok you might say I’m a little obsessed, but I was wondering what you guys thought of the movie. Robert Pattinson (Edward) is so freakin’ hot!!!! So what are your favorite scenes from the movie?

I love all of them but these are my top 5:

1. The Kissing Scene
2. The Baseball Scene
3. When a bunch of guys come to attack Bella and she punches one of them, and out of nowhere Edward comes and scares them off. Then in the car Bella says “Why don’t you put your seatbelt on?” and Edward replies laughing, “Why don’t you put your seatbelt on?”
4. The dance studio scene where James tries to kill Bella.
5. When Edward and Bella become public, and they walk out of the car into school with all the people staring at them while it is in slow motion. Then Edward says, “Well I’m going to rot in hell anyway” and puts his arm over Bella.
6. When Bella comes to the Cullen’s house and they are cooking for her. It’s hilarious how they are watching a cooking show since they don’t eat! Then one of them says “How do you know she likes Italian food?” and Emmett replies, “Well her names Bella…” In that scene it’s also funny when Edward says that Bella has already ate and Rosalie breaks the salad bowl.

Sorry I had to put 6 instead of 5!!!! Every scene was amazing I thought!!!!

Mine was probably either when Edward saves Bella by stopping that van from hitting her or when they arrive at school and Edward's wearing sunglasses and he says, "I'm going to hell anyway." and puts his arm around Bella.

I also liked the part where Bella asks Edward how he got over to her so fast (to save her from the van) and he says, "Adrenaline rush. You can google it."

Okay i lied. But please feel free to answer Please only if you are ages 11-16 or in 6th form.
