It's hilarious how now that there's some hard data in here all the "I wish I was a minority so I could complain all the time" and the "they just need to have a chip on their shoulder" douchebags are conveniently absent 
. Good post though, and an interesting discussion, I'm always interested to see some real dialogue on race relations.
In regards to this, it is what it is man. It's definitely annoying that it's harder as a person of color, especially when you feel like you got more going for you than the average *blank* dude that's getting play, but if you take one thing out of it, just realize that it's a numbers game. For example, "other" females respond to white males at 33%, or 1 out of every 3 responds, whereas they respond to black males 24% of the time, or 1 out of 4 times. So basically all you gotta do is get at 4 mixed chicks instead of three and you're gold. Sometimes dating is just a numbers game at the end of the day, especially if you're a minority dating outside of your race. Deal with it and keep it moving.

The numbers on the perimeter of the table are the
weighted average rates
for each column/row. Here’s what we can know:
Let’s see what happens when it’s the women writing the messages to men.
- Black women write back the most. Whether it’s due to talkativeness, loneliness, or a sense of plain decency, black women are by far the most likely to respond to a first contact attempt. In many cases, their response rate is one and a half times the average, and, overall, black women reply about a quarter more often that other women.
- White men get more responses. Whatever it is, white males just get more replies from almost every group. We were careful to preselect our data pool so that physical attractiveness (as measured by our site picture-rating utility) was roughly even across all the race/gender slices. For guys, we did likewise with height.
- White women prefer white men to the exclusion of everyone else—and Asian and Hispanic women prefer them even more exclusively. These three types of women only respond well to white men. More significantly, these groups’ reply rates tonon-whites is terrible. Asian women write back non-white males at21.9%, Hispanic women at 22.9%, and white women at 23.0%. It’s here where things get interesting, for white women in particular. If you look at the match-by-race table before this one, the “should-look-like” one, you see that white women have an above-average compatibility with almost every group. Yet they only reply well to guys who look like them. There’s more data on this towards the end of the post.

. . .
- Men don’t write black women back. Or rather, they write them back far less often than they should. Black women reply the most, yet get by far the fewest replies. Essentially every race—including other blacks—singles them out for the cold shoulder.
- White guys respond less overall. The average reply rate of non-white males is 48.1%, while white guys’ is only 40.5%. Basically, they write back about 20% less often. It’s ironic that white guys are worst responders, because as we saw above they in turn get the most replies. That has apparently made them very self-absorbed.

I wish I could say I don't like fat girls but then other girls would think I'm an ***.
I have no problem with the girls who say blank race only but no need to negatively single out one group

I need pictures of who these people they are getting the info look like. If anything its kinda sad blacks get no play like this but what about conversation quality, social class, traits and more. There is alot to this data that leaves to be desired.

I'm sort of surprised this didn't get more discussion. I guess dudes don't care about dating.

i dont really have nothing to contribute. everybody has their preferences.............
ive never had a problem with females, ive had black, white, latin (the most), mixed, philipino (does that count for asian?)
i consider myself above average looks and body wise though. so maybe that helps (no cocky)

That is very true, actually. Depends on where you live probably. I'm not sure if you're listing who you've smashed or dated. Big difference.

You sound stupid but you from post I see also try to be a contrarian esp regarding race. Its not just white people that do this but I guess in your trying to be mr smarty pants didn't know that and the point is people that do it its just stupid. Just like IRL if you don't like someone of a different race and they tried to talk to you you would just decline their advances its not that hard. Online you just don't answer the message point is gotten except for the few dummies out there so again wth are you talking about cause nobody would know for certain if a person didn't want to talk to them cause of their race, attractiveness, etc, unless they asked the person and they told them. Otherwise they would just be assuming so again if you are going to go caping at least make it worthwhile cause on this topic your looking dumb.

I typed enough of one that compelled you to reply "smarty pants" so it wasn't that bad. I'm not on here complaining either (and just talking about whats going on isn't complaining either but being as though your so smart you knew that already) so I don't see what your saying I responded to something I disagreed with nothing more nothing less. I guess the truth really hurts though.

I agree I'm here to keep it real also so you should have no problem about what I said about your Skip Bayless routine. I see it for what it is and called it out and just cause you don't say something doesn't mean you don't believe it or want people to see you that way. I don't want or try to ruslte no jimmies like you I'm speaking how I feel either you like it or you don't and I'm ok with however that turns out. Your welcome for the compliment that I wasn't giving but if I can bring happiness to somebody ok I'm totally with it.
