This is an eye opener, thanks. I’ve always operated on the assumption that there are more men on dating sites than women, hence women get inundated with messages. And that’s really as far as my assuming mind has been able to take me. I hadn’t even begun to think about factors like race. Well, since I’m much more likely to get replies from black women, I’m going black. I wonder, do these results apply to the real world as well? October 28, 2009 at 12:49 pm Ben says: Correlation/Causation cannot be established without integrating a multitude of missing factors such as message length, proper grammar, compatibility %, etc. which may be racially correlated as some people have pointed out, and those missing factors are likely cultural and not racial per se. This just makes for an interesting tabloid piece in the interim. Also, racism versus preference for dating a certain race/races due to basic physical attraction to a look/looks or lack thereof are mutually exclusive. Many men I know, of all colors, have a definite preference for certain looks and are seldomly attracted to others, which has no bearing on how much they like those people they’re not attracted to as human beings. On the middle eastern girl thing: I agree with Lance that I like them more because they’re usually hot, not because of any taboo :-). I lost my virginity to one long before any of the current middle east strife and it set a pattern.
