Weekly participation

Nov. 25th 2014 

This weeks interview focused around homogamy. I asked my interviewee if she participated in a homogenous relationship in her life time and she said she has been involved in relationships of both types. She mentions how in her earlier years, while living with her parents, she was more likely to participate in homogenous relationships. though she still dated those outside of her race and class. She stated how it was just more comfortable and easier to bring them around her family in homogenous relationships. Once she moved out of her parents home her preference switch. She dated more men that were different from her. Currently she is married to a man of a different race and enjoys the diversity. She said that she thinks it's more common in our society to date someone similar to your race and class because of the mere comfort. We touched a little on how those who are in non monogamous relationships may tend to have more difficulty with families accepting their partner and that non monogamous relationships most likely involve one partner that is more recessive.
