Odds Favor White Men, Asian Women On Dating App

They need to break down the category “white women” into more specific categories. I don’t think men consider “Berserkly womyn” and Russian women to be in the same category.

[Jack Hydrazine]

ROFLMAO!!!!

Kat Chow?

Yes, she got into the business with strong input from her interracial cousin, Kitty Litter.

Either that or she is a big fan of Lightning McQueen...and changed her name.

[VA_Gentleman]

Not necessarily. I met my fiance online dating. Though you have to wade through a field of daisies to find a rose.

Lol! That last graph is sad, even black men don’t prefer black women....

[JoeDetweiler]

That raises the question....do people on these sites respond to what they want...or what they think they can get?

The vaunted halls at NPR are filled with homosexuals.

When they do “straight” news it’s in a “dating” vein.

Also, you’ll find a soft, incessant undermining of “traditional” concepts and values. 24/7

Naturally polls like this don't account for truly beautiful, high-achieving, sharp-minded, selfless, charitable, hard-working, independent, physically attractive and tastefully clad African American women like our own First Lady.

“Asian Guys respond most to Latin Women?????”

Perhaps they know something most men don’t? Have to say though the Asian women are the most feminine of the lot, went shopping with the wife this past weekend and the only women wearing dresses/skirts where Asian women (even then a small minority of the Asian women do this). They also tended to be the most thin (although that’s changing rapidly, unfortunately). The view of Asian women being meek submissive wives though is vastly wrong, they are anything but that which may be why Asian guys are going for Latinos who are for the most part very traditional and look to the man to lead.

Who you choose to date is about a personal a decision as one can make, and should not be judged by anyone else.

Racist? How does that affect anyone besides you?

Culturally insensitive? So what? There is no obligation to date anyone tp make them feel good.

I make a partial exception for same-sex attraction. I don’t care, myself, but keep it to yourself. I do feel one should be warned that God might have an opinion, but most such people know that already.

[Dr. Sivana]

And online dating is mostly used by those seeking a short-term fling.

Depends on the site. I was best man at TWO weddings and attended a third where the married couple "met online".

All three were short-tem engagements. Two of the three moved to a different part of the country, and the marriages are going on 14, 13, and 8 years respectively.

It depends on how much conflict you are willing to accept when you bring your intended home to your disfunctional family.

Functional families are all alike. Disfunctional families all have their own kind of disfunction.

[GeronL]

lol

I’m not denying that

[ansel12]

There is nothing here that a little democrat legislation can’t fix.

[GeronL]

Maybe more black men know the racism business is just that, a scam and more black women actually believe the bilge about all whites being racist?

[SeaHawkFan]

Maybe black women would get better results overall if so many of them didn’t have kids out of wedlock?

And one wonders how this squares with the onslaught of mixed couple (with bi-racial child) commercials now flooding the airways. . .hmmm. . .by the way. . is this new mixed couple with bi-racial child the new next 'thing," now that TV and movies have the ever-present mature, happy, well-adjusted, responsible homsexual couples?

[Hulka]

Especially angry balck women. . .oh wait. . is there any other kind?

;-/

I've also noticed the large number of companies that have "Obama look-alike" bi-racial black men in ads. It's as if after Obama got elected every ad agency decided that "Obama" was the "look" American consumers wanted.
