I agree.

Welcome sev-mard.

Hye Acher ... where do u live...just curious... and. i dont think u are deserving of sev-mard's bite marks..........

my previous comment was for Hye Acher.

i hope somone someday will be able to help u.....thats pretty pathetic

To GAH...your explainations seem reasonable, but it doesnt mean its always true. All the things u said about, abusive father, brainwashed by tv, rebelling, and benefits dont apply to everyone . I'm not saying u wrote them directed to me, but what im saying is that there are other reasons why i am with my boyfriend for example. I have found him first and if im satisfied with what he has to offer then why look elsewhere.. ppl search to find a mate with various characteristics to meet their expectation in order to be able to live and grow with that person...If i feel that i have found that person, i dont feel the need to loose that and look elsewhere.just to keep "us" going as armenians.I see my boyfriend as a man...not a black man.. To Hye Acher....u have the freedom to change the channel and not watch the shows..but i know a lot of ppl do the same towards armenians...as soon as an armenians appear on tv, they change it...everyone has the right to like and dislike what they want, no problem in that..there are a lot of benefits to marrying within your race....but personally i need mor than benefits if im going to live and love someone for the rest of my life.... why dont we have a forum for armenian guys dating white girls..is there?...but attack on who girls date is appropriate....interesting...

then go back and read everyword i have written...from start to finish...its very typical, i dont expect or need anyone to agree with me regarding this topic...i just came in this forum to see what all the ignorant ppl thought...

hyebruin..good for you..i dont thing i ever mentioned anything about changing the world...dont read too much into things..your head will explode...

Don, so armenian girls are supposed to settle with guys who have your opinion of armenian girls;....no thanx... hyebruin, i feel sorry for you. im not going to give up something really good, JUST for the smallest possibility that i might some day to find the perfect armenian guy...somewhere out there.... whether u are searching within a specific race or not...its hard to find someone who is completely compatible with you..and u are happy with .i am not a person who will settle for anyone, so he has to be perfect in my eyes...so i am supposed to limit my choices, as limited as they already are, to only armenians....how fair is that.. if an armenian guy came along before i had met my current boyfriend and i felt the same about him, i would be with him..i have nothing against being with an armenian guy, i just found my current boyfriend first... i feel really bad for those who are not willing to let themselves go and find real love no matter where it comes from...u are cheating yourself...

armat, for your info i am not 17 or 18. when i was 18 , i had an armenian boyfriend who i thought was the best thing in my life...as u said...i was young and rushed into the whole idea of love and boys...it turned out that he was a fake, a very bad influence and a cheater too. although, i think he is still an asshole, i thank him for showing his colors early and from him over time i learned the importance of trust, love and passion, which he knew nothing about...my present boyfriend, yes hes black, is the most incredible person i have ever met. i have been with him for 3 years.not that i have to tell you all of my personal shit, but ppl shouldnt open their mouth if they dont know what they are talking about...everyone can say whatever they want about this topic, because they are merely opinons and everyone is intitled to them. but when u say something about another persons personal life like u know them , then u are stepping on toes......so just watch what u say......and no im not with him out of spite , im with him because of his genuine nature....and many more things.. botton line not because hes black.

this is how i would preserve my armenian ways...my black boyfriend will know how to speak armenian...(think about how many families living in the US speak english as opposed to armenian in the house, because it has become easier for the kids..) he would speak, read and know armenian inside out..our child will be raised to speak armenian in the house and also know english of course...choices still remain in school and friends, who will be armenian and other culture because face it..not all armenians only have armenian friend,that would be rediculous especially in the US> since it is a melting pot..so is the concern that marrying an odar puts you out of the armenian circle, erases your culture and tradition..i think you are capable of preserving your culture with any culture in the word...if two cultures or races combine, one race doesnt have to be erased or taken over by the other...sharing and mutual balance does exist...like when ppl get married. man and women bring their own lives together and combine it into one... one sex doesnt take over the other...i just find it hard to be forced to marry an armenian for "my people", what are my people doing for me now...i live through me not through the 7 million armenians somewhere out there.... are you going to be there why i hurt, when i cry, when i celebrate, when i die....no....

i agree with: everyone have their own ideas, values, likes and dislikes..no one is ever going to be looked at in a positive way by everyone, that is just impossible..you are always going to be about something or do something that someone is going to find offense...why should i re-route my path in life to please anyone else...isnt it my life...am i not going to wake up with the same heart and mind every single day of my life?...i say YES...so no one in the entire world should cause u to think otherwise..its just silly for all these judging...and thats armenians do best....blindly judge..

401(k) is a great idea. if your work provides it check out how much the employer contributes. if not, an IRA is your most common retirement vehicle...r u married, any kids...all these fact matter...a Roth IRA is the best one..most efficient, you can take advantage of the tax deferral, depending on how much you make. an annuity is also a way but it not necessary geared to long term savings...

guys cheat because its so easy too...girls are so dumb that they will give it up easily..girls on the other hand, cause they dont know what else to do..either they want to get back at their cheating boyfriend, or dont know how to respect themselves and say no...cheating is the most weakest act a person, guy or girl can commit..

for all of you...how about if a armenian girl dated a black guy and he was into the culture and traditions as much as her. he was learning the language to be able to communicate, was reading history book, tapping into every resource possible to learn everything about an armenian. what if armenian became the language being taught to their children, the children now could speak armenian to both parents...does that have any effect on your opinions...when u marry outside your race, its up to you to keep your culture and traditions. i think if you are strong and willing enough you can uphold your pride. black guys- im talking general of course cause its true for some and false for others- dont necessarily want to be with an armenian to take away their culture...why does it have to automatically be that your are throwing yourself away, when if you think about it for another minute, you are capable to be an armenian, communicate and raise your kids armenian regardless of who you are with..black, mexican. whatever.....

i can see its been a long time , but i bet if we asked them again today, 99% would have the same response..i just wondered on to this site and the many topics and wanted to have a bold statement as my first because i firmly believe that love is blind and its too bad that some armenians are blind...some -not all...thanx for the welcome..

why are so many people so ignorant and closed-minded about racial and cultural topics like most people in this forum....are you ppl for real?
