Not really.
The matches are based on answers users give to questions (both site designed and user designed).
When the blogger says they don't match, it means:
- Person A: I like X
- Person B: I don't like people who like X
Where X could mean ice cream, god or tooth-brushing. It has nothing to do with people selecting the race or religion of the people they think they want to date.
- ecuzzillo 17y agoYeah, but if Hindu men like ice cream, and I don't want Hindu men, I might not like men who like ice cream either because a) it's what Hindu men do, or b) I don't like people who like ice cream to begin with, and I don't like Hindu men for that reason. So it's not totally unrelated.
- hughprime 17y agoBut is there anything you can replace "ice cream" with to make it a workable example? What _real_ questions are you likely to see this kind of Hindu-Hindu antimatching behaviour on?

- ryne 17y agoSorry are you serious? Why would a Hindu that is pro-arranged marriage be on a dating website? Arranged marriages were a severe form of keeping the caste system in tact but that's not applicable now. But then again your type of logic can probably explain why Islamic people aren't liked since everyone is anti-terrorism.
- alanthonyc 17y agoSome Hindu men will say they like ice cream. Some Hindu men will say they don't.
- alanthonyc 17y agoWell, I'm not sure why I was down-modded. However, I hope I didn't offend anyone. Race/religion can be touchy subjects.
- roundsquare 17y agoIf I had to guess, you got down-modded because you were ignoring the premise of the above statement that being a hindu man might be correlated to liking ice cream. You are free to disagree with that but you need to give a reason. Of course, ice cream wasn't the point and other people gave better examples.
- joeyo 17y agoUnless there are very few Hindus using the site, in which case there could be (in the extreme) a single bad hindu-hindu match that skews everything. We need error bars.
