I think people are too lazy to read profiles & reverse image pics.
And that people want to date people from their own state, that they have things in common with.. Ya know, like a date site.

And your profile says Morocco & your pic is very 'Viking' looking . So yea.. raise some eyebrows... " Have Vikings conquered the Middle East & we missed the news footage!? "

I gave you 3 reasons, why people would say ' where are you from?' I told you the truth. And tried to make a joke. *different humor I guess*

90% of my mail the 1st or 2nd question is " why are you here ?".. I could make a thread insisting that is a (perverse) form of sexism.. but I won't. I will just keep telling myself most people don't read profiles.

Instead of men are asking me &
and are hoping to hear " I'm here to talk dirty to you across the Atlantic for free baby "... Hhhaa.

So blame or tell yourself what you want. We have at least one, " I am not getting my way, so it's racist " thread here a week.

See you then.

Honestly those that send me a e-mail with just a Hello and nothing more I don't even waste my time to respond to them..jmo

But if I see something in their profile that just does not jive. I do in fact ask if they are living where they say they do now or not... If they by pass my question then the conversation is over.. Has nothing to do with Racism at all~~

And if they don't live locally then it is a waste of their time and mine.... Unless I talk to them in the forums and we are just chit chatting in e-mail as friends... But forums first for that to happen.

You should listen to us Americans. We know more about racism than most countries.

Seriously though, I talk to people I like wherever they are from and whatever race, ethnicity, religion, or species they might be. However, I don't like many people or species.

Oops, looks like reality is creeping in.

Expectations lead to disappointments...

And, I like pizza.

(And the Dodgers. Go blue!)

i am not sure u understand me but let me tell again , it 's sth simple as this ; i sais hello and i get where are u from , so to get hello depends on where u are from , this is racist against another human

if u don't love hello , then it's ur problem not mine and honesty is an inside feeling we can express it with a lot languages , and these languages are just a way to communicate each other

Where are you from, abdeslam?

Humm not my problem it seems to be a problem with only you....

If a person expects a e-mail back cause all they can come up with is hello.. And they think it is Racism cause another ask where they are from seems to me they should be happy they got a response..

sooo hold up lemme get this straight
if you are an American and would like to date another American
you are Racist?
what if ya want to date someone within your own state? Statist?

what if it's someone local? a localist well now that just sounds weird


ahem....ooooooh I got a response for this one

I understand you, I just disagree with you. This is a date site, not a chat room, not F@c@book where you can ask or beg the planet with friend requests.
Saying ' Hello' to someone in real life doesn't guarantee a conversation & it certainly won't get a guy, any guy, too far here. 'Hello & hi ", doesn't tell a woman anything or interest her.
And believe me there are hundreds of men before you saying 'hi'.

Here's an idea, how about instead of accusing the planet or the people here of being racist . CHANGE your technique. And say where you are from in your introduction along with your name & pick a topic to discuss..... Other than your persecution complex. .
Because your really digging your own grave here if you insist on telling people something is wrong with them, like calling them racist, because they are not willing to talk to you or date you.
If you find the phrase 'where are you from?" offensive..... Stick around your in for a Culture Shock.

* I tried ..... *

abdeslam22, there is no racism involved in someone asking you for your location.

The reality is that women, in general, do not want to date men who live too far away from them.

The question "Where are you from?" is a quick way for a woman to determine if a man lives within an acceptable distance. If he does not, then the woman will not make an emotional investment into developing a relationship with him.

In short, the title of this discussion thread is a false claim.

If that seems like racism, then I do not believe you understand the meaning of the word.

At best you can personally consider it rude.

Rudeness and racism are very different things.


Other than that, just for arguments sake, let's say it is racist.
It's the deepest most evil form of racism that ever existed or will ever exist...So what?

Are they a government entity? Are you trying to perform business? Are they actively keeping you from dating someone else? Are they keeping you from living in a certain neighborhood? Are they hunting you down to stick you in some kind of labor camp? Are they invading your city to put an end to the racial impurity causing a blight on the world?

With online dating it doesn't really matter if they're racist or not.

Here, that is no different than being republican, democrat, mormon, handicapped, gay, straight, a smoker, a couch potato, unemployed, making 6 million a year, PhD, or not having a car.


So, for arguments sake, let's say you saw through the curtain and you've spotted the where's waldo racists.

What now?

You feel better about yourself?

Do you think that magically makes you more attractive to anyone at all?
Or that "racists" are no longer going to be racists?

Like they'll read this forum thread and say to themselves "M'kay, I was wrong, I'm going to email that guy and be more cordial and follow his idea of formal interaction, I'mma gonna change my ways completely!"

Or do you believe other people all over the world are going to read this and think "gee, I'm a racist. I better start saying hi to people in response so I can stop being a racist."

The only way people change is through interpersonal relationships.
Online, it's as impersonal as it gets.
And when you complain about how other people behave, what you do is validate them ignoring you completely.

It would be much more interesting to figure out exactly what you get from this.

I'll never know the truth though.
Too much self editing.
You can say whatever you want with no fear of it ever being proven.
But if you don't respond how I believe you should, then it's okay if I just consider you a racist?
