It is something I talked about

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=275336


But due to recent threads, something to be clarified:

It is not that women from X and Y are « easier », because that’s not the right term, it is simply due to the weird fact that women from X and Y countries are far more likely to find me attractive (as first impression, based on looks, which is the initial gateway spark for everything else). While with local women I have the impression that I am just too « meh » for the vast majority.

So what « easier » is the initial attraction with women from these countries, but not those women themselves,
so that makes the whole dating experience feels easier: when someone likes you regardless of their nationality, things flow well. I guess that’s what se guys experienced too.

You look entirely "normal" for Canada.

You'd blend right in.

Come check out our multiracial women.

(I'm not joking -- women here are amazing mixes of everything.)

That sounds really weird I'm sure ^ , but I don't think people know.

Why do you suppose women from specific countries are more likely to find you attractive?

I don’t really get it. I tend to find everyone equally attractive or unattractive, depending on how you look at it. I don’t discriminate based on race or ethnicity, but I’m a demi so maybe that’s why.

It is not only from specific countries, but overall, even if they are from white dominated western countries, often I attract only the non-white ethnicities (not complaining, but it is too frequent to the point it cannot be a coincidence).
Like back in the okcupid (when it was not sh***y) I had dates with African/Asian Americans/Europeans (usually UN and NGO staff) and often went well, while the Whites despite being encountered more often, they never showed the slightest interest.

I don’t find one ethnicity less attractive than other, attractive is attractive.

I never used online dating, so I can’t comment on that.

I think that people tend to worry about looks too much. Other things are more important.

Come to Montréal.

There's a huge Lebanese / Arabic population.

There was a striking difference in matches’ diversity between my real pic vs a fake pic, for the same location:

I wouldn’t want to date such shallow people.

I care more about other things.

I guess online dating isn’t for me. :lol:

Like I remember when using with my real pic, in location US Houston: ALL matches were POC, no Whites at all - as if there’s no White population in that area. :lol:

When I switched to a fake profile (with attractive white dude pic), the matches were by far more representative of the area’s diversity.

I got zero matches in countries such as Ukraine and Turkey, while hundreds in countries like Thailand, Philippines, Morocco and Kenya. Come on, there’s a social phenomena in all this.

I would agree that there could be a certain social phenomena, especially in certain locales.

I just don’t understand why people are so obsessed with appearance, especially past a certain age. It’s sort of cringey.

Having things in common and liking who a person is are more important IMO.

Because this how most humans operate, Tinder’s swipe left/right system is really very representative of real life’s FIRST impressions - which is based on overall appearance, that’s why it got popular. Tinder is the facebook of dating, everyone seems using it.

I’m glad I don’t operate like most humans. It sounds incredibly dull.

I don’t use Facebook, either (also incredibly dull).

You find Super Mario 3 easy, so of course you don't.

The last time I beat it I had over 80 lives. 8)

Tee hee.

(Pssst, it’s just because I played it a lot as a kid, but don’t tell anyone.)
