- viiralvx 12y agoHey, black men don't have it easy either.
- aaron-lebo 12y agoHey, short and average-looking white guys don't have it easy either. It sounds like only tall and attractive white men have it easy.
- jrs99 12y agoonline dating is hard for everyone. you just will never know if it will work or not. All you really have are your stereotypes.
- jrs99 12y agowhite guy here. over 7 feet tall. Not having an easy time.
- Byzantine 12y agoExtreme height can also be severely limiting to a man such as yourself, so just look for a 6 foot tall White woman.
- guard-of-terra 12y ago"just look for a 6 foot tall White woman" Those are likely in great demand and thus spoiled by attention. I've also noticed that a lot of tall women end up with average height men.
- eru 12y agoAm I the only one who's short (and white) and has it way too easy?

- jrs99 12y agobut why on earth would you tell them that? You might as well tell them they're not attractive, and black women are not attractive, and they should get together for that reason.
- jiggy2011 12y agoShe would be almost as unlikely to be attracted to him as he would her (-11% vs -16%)
- hangonhn 12y agoMaybe? But the neat thing about romance is that you just need one to work. I once complained to a friend that my failure rate is going to be 95% if the normal failure rate is 80%. She replied, "Good then you'll succeed." because a 95% failure rate means there will still be 5 women out of 100 who won't reject me and that number increases the more women I meet. Another good friend of mine who can be best described as a womanizer told me that it's a huge numbers game. He confided to me that he gets rejected all the time and for all sorts of reasons, most of it has nothing to do with him. His word of advice to me was "You got ten fingers, ten toes. There is nothing wrong with you." Sure, some women prefer one thing over another but you don't need all the women to like you. You just need one. I am sure in the universe of women there is at least one who likes Asian men who read Hacker News and you have a better chance of finding her(or them) with online dating.
- bambax 12y agoInteresting way to look at things; but you need to like those 5% who may like you. If for some reason you're less desireable than average then you also need to be less picky, and that may be hard.
- 31reasons 12y agoIf he only like 5% of the women he meets and 5% women like him in general than actual number of women he needs to meet could be 400 before both like each other. If he goes on a one date per week (the best case scenario, at least in my case) it would take 7.2 years of non stop dating.
- leishulang 12y agoThe answer is Kungfu. I know a Vietnamese guy who is like 5"5 but practices Wing-chun with hot girls all the time. "An Asian Man who can't fight is like a Black Man who can't dance or a White Man who doesn't own an acoustic guitar, shameful display!"
