Can confirm that minorities in the dating scene are gonna have a bad time.

Gonna break mah code with a buzzfeed link here.

And I'm sure there's more data in other places beyond it.

I tried it, for like, two weeks. Didn't like it. Didn't like how 'quantified' everything was, didn't really like combing through pictures of people like I was on craigslist looking for the right 3DS model, didn't like interacting with someone online before ever talking to them in real life. It all felt stiff and carefully crafted and just sorta...blegh. I am not a carefully crafted person in real life.

I can see why people like it, I can totally see it being successful for people, it just wasn't for me.

Edit: the same goes for Tinder.

    And Caucasian men prefer every other race over Caucasian women.
huh, I would not have guessed that. It seems Caucasian men are more open minded than their female counterparts.

Sucks to be an African American woman on these sites. Geez. Interesting stuff.
