I know I do lol

So a few days ago I ran into a comment debate, two GAG users were debating, one user a male said that "black women are at the bottom of the barrel and men will not get into serious relationships with them" to which the female user replied and said to the male user

"speak for yourself and say that you, yourself put black women at the bottom of the barrel and that you will not get into serious relationships with them, because some men do get into serious relationships with them and put them at the top of the barrel".

This debate was quite heated I must say... these users added links to studies and statistics etc.

But now I want to know what other male GAG users have to say,

Do you guys put black women at the bottom of the barrel, are they your last pick and would you not get into a serious relationship with them, i. e. marriage?

DISCLAIMER: Race is a dating preference, therefore please feel free to honestly express your preferences what ever they might be, I will not judge you at all for it because almost everybody has racial dating preferences, and it does not make you a racist. It's like saying you prefer women with lighter skin -less melanin- because that looks attractive to you. Or even like saying you prefer women with darker skin-more melanin- because that looks more attractive to you, this is not racism.

There is nothing wrong with preferring people who you are visually attracted to.

So I went out with this guy for a week. Met on an app, bonded over spiderman and love of super heroes, im a comic book collector so i had photos of that on my profile. (I had spiderman on my profile, he didn't, none of the mention) Easy to say though the 2nd meet was not great and I ended things, he was after something I wasn't.

I've now logged back into the app and his updated his profile to all spiderman and superheroes. He had none if these before.

Is he doing this to tease me?

So, what was your preference?

So I've been chatting to this guy for 4 months now and gone on dates with him. I'm thinking it's all going really well. We met at our local sports club. My cousin however found him on Bumble and tinder 2 weeks ago. He said he doesn't use them and forgot they were still active.

I'm a but worried, he still hasn't deleted them...

What's going on?

Yes, if everything is settled I would he’s just amazing and loves me so much 🥺

I met this guy online a few years ago from a dating website. He is from England and I’m from USA, and we dated online at first for a little while. As time went on, he stated his mental health problems and how he couldn’t be in a long distance relationship anymore. I didn’t hold him back so he left, but we had been texting on and off throughout the years. He wishes me a happy birthday and holiday, stuff like that.

within the last few months, we reconnected a lot more like more phone calls to texting. He even admitted to realizing that I might be the girl for him since throughout all these years, no woman near him had made him feel the same as I made him feel. He even had a plan where if we meet up within the next 2 years then we can get married considering how much we both went through. I was flattered but concerned since I didn’t want to get hurt again if he wasn’t ready mentally, so I asked if he was sure. He said he wasn’t and then stopped talking to me for a couple of months for a mental break only to reappear as if nothing happened.

I asked him if he still wanted to do that 2 year plan and he said sure, we text somewhat often still now. But, he told me recently that he joined a dating app just because of boredom and was laughing at how women messaged him for sex. I was confused since based off what he confessed, i should be the only one he needs to be focused on. I’m just nervous now that he’s going to try to date other women before we actually meet up and then have his feelings confused on who he likes more, or just trying to have random encounters in the meantime. I mean I can’t control him but we do have a plan to meet up by the end of this year or next year so I don’t understand why would he do this. Please share your thoughts below, thanks.

Been “dating” this guy for over 8 months, we used to go out on actual dates but now he just comes over and we’ll watch TV while ordering take out. Does this still count as us dating? We’re not official yet by the way.

27F, I’ve officially come to terms with the fact I’ll end up alone. I’ve been on and off the apps for years, I really don’t think I’m that unattractive but the dating apps have indicated otherwise. I get a good bit of matches and guys reach out, it always either dies out or it isn’t reciprocated from the guy or I. I’ve tried almost every app, paid and free. I have one app installed, there was one time last year where I deleted the app for 6 months. Currently, I swipe on profiles maybe every other week or reply to messages 2-3 times per week. I don’t have friends so the apps are my only avenue considering I’m a homebody. I do know they work for some though, people have said I’m cute/attractive etc but guys never approach me in person. I used to purposely hold back and try to play hard to get, now I’m at the point where I have to force myself to open the app and remember to reply to this guy and so forth. I don’t want kids, id be down to get married but really worry about the reality that id have to be sexual knowing guys urges and so. I am not sexual, I haven’t had sex or masturbated in years. Maybe the right guy will change that?
Also, certain things about guys kinda turn me off, almost every guy I’ve known including my dad who I’m close with has dickish/macho tendencies and I don’t have patience for it lol.

TL;DR: does it sound like my dry spell/bad luck with dating apps stem from lack of interest? Or am I bitter?

They say if you’re attracted to a friend more than likely they’re attracted to you back. I’m just curious how true that is.

For me the answer is few.
