Well, I am new to this website and its been just about a week since I joined this website. The main reason I joined this website was to find someone and maybe go on a date, like everyone else in here. I have Asian (India) background, but I grew up here since I was 9 yrs old. I tried to contact some girls in here and they never replied me back. Is this a racial issue and does that mean that they don't want to meet a guy of different race or a guy from India to be specific?

more likely that your photo is a gray ghost. post a picture. alot of women dont reply to the no photo profiles. it gives impression that something to hide.
also its online dating. search the threads on getting no replies. you have lots of company. and their 'no replies' dont have to do with race. its just alot of not hearing back.

I think it's up to personal preference. Some people date outside of their race, while others choose not to. Just as a person may not desire another who is overweight or someone with, say, blonde hair. Perhaps they want a skinny, red head. It's all personal preference. I don't think it's a racial issue at all. Just personal preference. JMO!!
Best of luck to you....

I agree with you Bama. Its more of a preference thing as opposed to a racial thing.

Don't worry about it. I contacted this woman and she never replied, then I noticed she updated her website to say she doesn't date black men. I assume she put that on her profile after i sent her a message cause I saw she did read it. But you have to realize, people can't help who they are attracted to. Just because all the people you were interested in didn't respond or didn't find interest in you doesn't mean you have to whip out the race card and question racial reasons. Just keep your head up and keep lookin'!

I am getting acquainted with an elegant black man,,Ebony....I admire him. He is handsome, funny, very intelligent.very personable, we have a lot of same interests and can communicate.
I was never raised in an interracial atmosphere. But after thinking it over, I am going to see him.. I think too much emphasis is placed on skin color and not heart color...

Why is it always a racial thing with minority's when things don't go their way. Look at all the other things it could be and most likely it is something else. If you were a female minority I wouldn't date you because you think it is a racial issue. Grow up and get in the game.

There is a lot reasons why you not getting responses. I doubt race is the issue.
It take a knowledge to get a woman to meet you somewhere without ever meeting you before.
If you thought a few emails was the answer then you got a lot to learn.

Nope, thats not it! It is the fact that most of us ladies on here actually have lives..and very full ones. Children, careers, and I know I am not the only one, but I get dozens of winks a day. I cant/dont have the time to respond to every wink. Now, the men who take the time to email me, and actually talk, say something about my profile, which lets me know they actually took the time to look, well, those I will respond to. And, i do ask for a pic. I posted mine, its only fair! I usually respond with saying that I have a man, and I met him here..and advise them to come post on the forums, get to know people, and someone will become interested! If you are getting lots of winks, and friend requests from people who you have never even talked too, well, how fair is that? Then you guys get upset because you are not responded too? So, if you were out in a bar..winking at some stranger that means you should get a date and a conversation?
COME ON! How successful have you been with that approach? You meet people, you talk to them, then you get to wink and chat back and forth. You guys seem to want to skip the getting to know people part altogether! Well, you cant. If you want responses, go on the forums, chat with people, and go from there.
Good Luck!

Nope, it is not. It could just be that the people you wink don't respond to winks, or that you have only been here a little while and have not posted much here..except this topic.
I don't respond to winks when a profile doesn't say much. A wink from one I have not seen before who says little? What about me or my profile or my posting made you notice me? The winker wanted me to notice them... notice what?
If the person is not a fourm poster I have seen before, or the profile says little, I don't respond. If I were winked at and I checked to see what the winker posted about and the only thing I found was one asking if no response was a racial issue.... I really would not respond!!!
I don't much care for the winking thing and wish I could turn it off.

Sam, failing to get a reply does not mean that u r an "undesirable". Ive been on this site for a longggggggggggg time and Ive seen mostly white guys complaining about the same thing . Its like the girls said, its a matter of personal pref. Take my case for instance, since I first got on this site, Ive rec email from guys in the "forty something " group and I always tell them "Im only interested in men in "my" age group. I guess the men in my age group r all dead or something because seldom get email from them , dont know whats with that. Hang in there , u will get "lucky" one day.

I think alot of the reason he is getting no responses is number 1 , no pic and no 2, we all see a stop light there............Alot of us ladies get the im and emails from the different countries that are scams...........and my beleif here, its just another scammer.....................
