By the way, I heard a nasty rumor that eharmony has a policy of trying to avoid interracial couples, which seems very wrong-headed given how your data adds up.

I think these results are likely to be massively skewed by the fact that there are a lot of men on OkCupid—mostly Asian men but also a few black men—who send generic messages like the following one (which, from the country code, is from a man in Nigeria):

“realy liked what i read about u.would realy love to talk with u on phone.heres my cell number…+234**********………..i must say i was impresed by ur profile,am quite new on this and will really like to hear from u.”

Or, indeed, less subtle ones like this one:

“You are very gorgeos
You have nice boobs
and
very sexy legs”

Personally, those are messages I’m not going to respond to. And broadly my experience has been that even though a few white men send messages like these, they are outnumbered by white men who send more appealing kinds of messages. I also note that these offputting messages are disproportionately sent by men who are actually living overseas.
