Is it normal to go from "attracted to" to "disgusted by"?

I'm absolutely disgusted by the "type" I used to be attracted to. I feel ashamed and embarrassed that I ever went for those guys! IIN?

  • I suppose. Some people can be attracted to something and then change their view once they experience that something. The fact that it's black guys is open to a joke of a sexual nature but I'll leave that joke for E.W.

    • I think it was a rebellious phase but at the time I didn't consciously realize that. During the phase I did honestly think I was attracted to black men and black men only. I grew up in a 99% white rural area, see. My parents were what I'd call "mild racists". I had a lot of anger towards my parents and I guess my subconcious triggered me to go for black guys. Bear in mind I was 15 when this started, 17 or 18 when it stopped (though I'm much older than 18 now...).

      Looking back on the whole situation is weird because I realize I was never actually honestly attracted to these men yet at the time I thought I was. So where does attraction even come from?? My attraction seems to have been a lie. I would never even talk to a colored person by choice nowadays.

      I feel lower than a bow-legged caterpiller so no joke anyone could make would make me feel any worse than I already do! So whoever E.W. is shouldn't bother. I'm a raging racist.

    Is it because of experience or did your taste just suddenly change? Because if you had a few bad experiences its totally normal that you no longer like them.
    I once dated a metrosexual and now they just make me wanna puke.

    • See my response to ItDuz above, that probably explains it.

        Looks like you dated that type kind of to be cool and/or rebellious. Thats normal for a teenager, it looks like you've matured some, so that's good.

        • Yes, it just seems so weird looking back on it because at the time I honestly had no clue it was so artificial.

            were they "ghetto" guys? Ive dated black guys but they were the cultured Oreo types. Or Jamaicans.

            • It was any and all black guys...I didn't date them either. Just casual sex or fuck buddies.

    • I don't really want to say, but in the interest of having an honest discussion I'll go ahead and say it. Black guys.

        Don't judge a race by its colour is all I'm saying.
