in general..
In general.. I know it's wrong to stereotype, and we're all aware that not all people from certain countries, or cultures are the same.. But just in general: How are Hindu men and women? As in, what does a Hindu (from gujarat?) look for in a woman, and what does an Indian woman look for (or expect) from a man? And would either gender, consider marrying someone outside their culture? or is that a big No-No? Because I read that Hinduism is a religion based on respect, and love. But come to reality.., do Hindus really respect other races and accept union between a Hindu and a non-Hindu????

Answer

Hinduism is a way of life, a  law that governs all action. The word "Hindu" comes from the name of the river Indus, which flows 1800 miles from Tibet through Kashmir and Pakistan to the sea. As Taran explained it is based on his or her mentality of what he or she thinks. 
I really do not think so in today's world men and women would really think religion or belief coming in the way of their relationships. I am sure you would have heard of the great bollywood super star Mr. Shah Rukh Khan who is a Muslim and married to Ms. Gauri Khan who is a Hindu. Also there is Ms. Aishwarya Rai(former Miss World 1994) Bachann who is a native from the state of Karnataka who is married to Mr. Abhishek Bachann son of another super star Mr. Amitabh Bachann who have their origins from Uttar Pradesh a state in the northern part of India.
And of course Hindus as a whole have a lot of respect towards other communities. Hope that would have helped you.

Answer

I believe that religions are a gateway to inner-self..they are taught in different forms around the world but ultimately they all reach the same path..What does a Hindu thinks about other races is more based on his mentality and way of living rather than the Hinduism itself...but as u mentioned "reality",then someone coming from Commercialized Hinduism might have his own pile of ideals..I am  sorry if this didn't help u but that is all I could say.
