IMO, online interracial dating doesn't work for the most part, like, the chances of something working are around 5% perhaps.

The system only allows you to receive profiles from people who CHECK THE SAME THING YOU DO.

Why would "interracial" dating online be any different from "specific race" dating online?

It's all a crap shoot anyhow. Doesn't matter if you find them online or offline.

It only works for some specific races, IMO.

Oh, I see. I guess it's never been a concern of mine. I'd just write "no, thank you" as I would to somebody of my own race, if I'm not interested. It's not that big of a deal.

You just take it for what it is. I mean, if you go to a bar or club or something like that, you won't get a number from everyone you talk to. Whether they say it or not, it's likely because they weren't attracted to your race, your facial features, your height or smell or clothes or swagger or whatever. It's no different in any way, shape, or form, really.

For people who are in "multi-ethnic or so-called interracial" relationships this isn't a problem.

They just call what they have "a relationship".

But it seems to be a huge problem for others because they feel as if they have to put a label on it so it fits in their "little world view box".
