RUDO Banya admits she isn't attracted to men of her own race and prefers dating white men.
Ms Banya, who is of Zimbabwean heritage but grew up in the UK, met her husband Paul nine years ago and the couple live together with their 18-month-old daughter Avalyn.
For her, dating and marrying a white man was her ideal preference although she admits she would date men of other races.
Ms Banya, from Melbourne, said she was attracted to men who were the complete physical opposite of herself.
"I come from an African background and I am attracted to white men because of the physical contrasts to myself," she told news.com.au.
"They say opposites attract and I guess in my case I am attracted to men that look totally different from me in terms of skin colour, eye colour and hair colour."

She also admits she does connect better with caucasian men in terms of interests and other values.
"I think my personal experiences of witnessing how the African men in my culture treated women has completely put me off dating African guys," she said.
"Also having brothers, I always felt like being with a guy that looked like my brothers was not appealing to me."
Ms Banya's story will feature on SBS Insight tonight in an episode that explores inter-racial dating and relationships.
The 30-year-old also said growing up in the UK and going to a private school with predominantly white people did shape her outlook.
She said some people thought her preference to date outside her own race was a little odd, but her own family supported her decision.

Ms Banya, an employment consultant, said she wouldn't care if her own daughter dated a black man or any other race — "as long as they were a good person that shared the same values that we have instilled in her".
"I am a firm believer in respecting other people's choices — my daughter included," she said.

Insight will also hear from John and Edelisa Carroll who met on a dating site called FilipinoCupid.
The Melbourne couple got engaged after three months of chatting online, and he proposed before they even met in person.
Both say dating outside their race is a preference for them.
Mr Carroll specifically sought out an Asian woman for a partner because "Asian women treat western men better than a white woman might.".

His wife thought a western man would be "better than a Filipino husband" because they're more responsible and provide better for their children.
Sydney couple Han and Sophie Song will also appear on the show and reveal, despite a language barrier, they hit it off straight away.
He admits when he first met his future wife at a pub he didn't think he stood a chance.
"I thought 'oh well, I'm Asian, probably she's not interested'," he said, admitting he had only dated Korean women in the past and thought dating a white woman was a "fantasy".
Ghanaian-born Ida Harding disagreed with the other show guests, as her preference was to date black men.
She migrated to Australia at the age of four and, despite growing up and going to school with mostly white people, she's never dated someone from a different racial background.

"I think my preference is for black men and that's simply because I don't want to be someone's fantasy or fetish," the Sydney woman said. "You want someone who dates you because they like who you are."
The show will also hear from dating experts and matchmaking services that specialise in cross-cultural matches.
Evolutionary psychologist Professor Bill Von Hippel said "multiethnic coupling" will become more common and is an inevitable consequence of the proximity of so many races living together in the same place.
US-based sociologist has studied racial preferences in online dating and said race played a big part in people's decisions about who they choose to contact and respond to online.
According to her, one study found heterosexual men of all races respond to all women except for African American, and that women of all races respond first to caucasian men.
Dating race airs tonight at 8.30pm on SBS One.
Jennifer Lundquist looked at patterns that emerged with racial preferences in online dating. Catch the full episode on Tuesday, May 13 at 8:30pm on SBS ONE or live stream online. www.sbs.com.au/insight
