I agree with those who think culture has more to do with attraction than race and also with those who consider proximity/familiarity to be more relevant.
I tend not to be interested in African Americans on this site because in my experience, they tend to be more sexist/sex-driven, less likely to use proper grammar and spelling, and less worldly. Africans, on the other hand, interest me quite a lot.
Worldliness, ability to articulate clearly, and respect for me as a person are very important in any potential match for me and I gravitate toward those profiles that display them. It just happens that among my matches, many African Americans, and quite a few whites, don’t.
For matching filters, I tried another site briefly that has something like this. I started my filter on “no preference,” but when every single match I got in two racial demographics was both sex-driven and unable to write in complete sentences, I started filtering those demographics out. It was sad, but like another poster, I didn’t want to waste time weeding through so many profiles that did not interest me to find the only one that might be interesting.
Last, there is a series of match questions that ask about specific racial/ethnic groups. I forget them all, but one is, “Would you date a Middle Eastern person?” Perhaps analyses of these questions would be more meaningful for this discussion.

- “What I mean is, dudes just want to date ladies who look like their moms. That’s normal, right? Right?”
