Many Muslims will view Christians as mushrikun and even as idolators. If they think that they are then why might they want to marry (or simply poke) Christian women?
S 2:221 And do not futter the mushrikat until they believe. And a believing maid is better than a mushrikah even if she has pleased you. And do not give to the mushrikun in nikah until they believe, and a believing slave is better than a mushrik even if he has pleased you. Those call to the fire and Allah calls to the Jannah and forgiveness with his permission. And he clarifies his verses for people; perhaps they will remember.
Here the author tells Muslims not to futter/marry them until they believe. If they are to believe, shouldn't this also apply to Christians? Who is a believer?
S 24:62 The believers are only those who have believed in Allah and his messenger, and when they were with him for a general matter, they did not go until they ask for his permission. Those who ask for your permission, those are the ones who believe in Allah and his messenger. So when they have asked for your permission for some concern of theirs, give permission to whom you have willed of them and ask Allah for forgiveness for them. Allah is a forgiver, merciful.
A Christian does not believe in Allah and its boss.
We also find:
S 60:10 Those who have believed, when the believing women have come to you as emigrants, examine them. Allah is a knower of their faith. And if you know them to be believers, do not return them to the kuffar. They are not lawful for them and they are not lawful for them. And give them what they have spent. And there is no misdemeanour upon you to futter them when you have given them their wages. And do not grab matrimony with the kawafir, and ask for what you have spent and let them ask for what they have spent. That is Allah’s judgment. He judges between you. And Allah is learned, wise.
If they are not to marry 'kawafir', female kuffar, then why might they?
S 9:28 Those who have believed, the mushrikun are only filth so let them not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year of theirs. And if you fear penury then Allah will enrich you from his favour, if he wills. Allah is learned, wise.
If Muslims believe that Christian women are mushrikat, they must also believe, if they accept the verse, that they are filth. Now, why might a Muslim want to futter/marry women whom they regard as filth?
If Muslims have any respect for quran, why might they marry even Jewesses? They are 'kawafir' too.
See:
From an Answering Islam article:
Narrated Nafi’:Whenever Ibn ‘Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah has made it unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to Allah, and I do not know of a greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a lady should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of Allah's slaves." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 63, Number 209)
This online Salafi site unapologetically calls Christians kafirs and says that:
This is something that is well known among the Muslims, and they are UNANIMOUSLY AGREED that the Christians are kaafirs, and even that those who do not regard them as kaafirs ARE ALSO KAAFIRS. Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhaab said concerning the things which are unanimously agreed to nullify Islam:"Whoever does not regard the mushrikoon as kaafirs, or doubts that they are kaafirs, or thinks their religion is correct, is himself a kaafir." ... (Question #12713: Is the trinity that the Christians believe in mentioned in Islam?; underline and capital emphasis ours) Qur'an Contradiction: Can a Muslim Man Marry a Christian Woman?

Now, any woman worthy of the name of Christian will NOT marry a Muslim. I view a 'Christian' who would do such a thing a traitress.
Finally, consider what the Good Book says:
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/6-14.htm
