My comments pertain to OD in general and not specific to Yahoo or Match.com or the others. I think Joe from Florida said it best that a lot of women (and men too) are looking for the trifecta - 6ft tall, 6 figure income and a square jawline. I'll add a controversial fourth to this - "race" as in Caucasians. I'm not caucasian (I'm also not 6 feet tall - not even close) and there's really very few or no women who shares my ethnicity in Yahoo or match.com. Invariably I end up winking at Caucasians (only if they say no preference for ethnicity). I got two replies and chatted with them both and went out with both. But both were disappointed and more or less said I didn't look like what they were expecting. I pressed a little and they admitted they were uncomfortable with my ethnicity. Which is fine since it's their preference, but I could have saved them and myself time if they could have admitted that they weren't interested in dating non-caucasians or men with my ethnic background. When I asked them they did say that they didn't specify ethnic preferences since it was the politically correct thing to do. They didn't tell me why they replied to me, but my guess is because of my 6 figure salary (hey at least I meet one of the trifecta). OD is tough enough as it is, but I think yahoo and match.com can do a little more to get users to be more forthright about their ethnic preferences. In some sense eHarmony is better that way I think. Oh well, I'll just keep trying.
