Racism in the LGBT community.

I had a similar eye opening experience. I’ve been on IG for a number of years and I’ve been approached by a few men on there over the years, maybe a couple times a year. I thought that experience was fairly normal. A few years ago I happened to make friends with an attractive white guy who had my similar muscular build. One day I asked him why his phone was always pinging with IG notifications, and was he really carrying on that many conversations with his friends. He showed me his DMs, and I was blown away with how many men from all over the world were hitting on him in his DMs. His mind was equally blown away when he found out I wasn’t having his same experience. We would post pics on IG of us together and those pics got exponentially more likes than any of mine when I’m alone. Long story short, I started doing a lot of research, and this study you did on your own is similar to a number of research studies looking at the experience of different races on dating apps and social media. The experience is always the same in every study. I live in a majority white U.S. city, and I definitely notice that I get much more attention in larger multi-racial cities, especially in Europe. If I cared enough, I might move, but the job is a good one and I live a good life here on my own. Anyway, I just found this thread, and it’s been fascinating reading for sure. Lastly, I will also say that I’ve noticed among my gay friends that those of us with darker skin seem to be perpetually single with very few dating experiences throughout the year. My white friends seem to have many more opportunities to date.
And time and again people will deny this is a thing. I've also done similar and got the same results. (With No face pic even, a thing Grindr swears is needed lmao)
 
Not at all, I hold those two guys in high esteem and remember them fondly, I just have no plans to do it again.
I don't know. Technically I can understand the comfort of dating only within your ascribed "tribe" and culture but it's not an ideal direction for the species to do so. Homo sapiens are generally xenophobic and ethnocentric which has lead to two world wars and our next one will be our last. We deserve our fate. Maybe the next species to rule/destroy the planet will be better.

Well I don't really have friends from other races anymore so it never comes up. Like I said, them more diverse my home becomes, the less interest I have in sharing my time with outsiders, hearing someone from a country with a population that is 300 times the size of my own refer to themselves as a "minority" is cringe and I can't roll with that.
Well the way math works if you are 1 in 10, 10 in 100, 1000 in 10000, etc. You are still at 10% and a minority. Being you are 100% gay no matter where you go you will always be a "minority". Does that fact make you cringe?

I see people from everywhere everywhere, it makes my own people feel special. I think that's ok.

Yeah it's easy to feel our tribes are special but what is the proof it is?

If I were to randomly drop you down anywhere on the planet there is an extremely good chance it would be an ocean or some polar ice cap and you'd be dead in hours. There is nothing special about any of us except the ability to believe we are.

Not really, cities cultures and countries are a culmination of the shared wants and desires of the individuals living in them, that's exactly why we have had wars like the ones you mentioned before.

For me "exotic" just stopped being exotic and I have more interest in my in-group, It was always my preference, but now I'm exclusive... at least until Rico Strong starts gay hookin.

You'd do much better in any European city than the US to be honest. It has a racial history that is too despicably political to mention here.

Sounds like you might just be racist. Full stop.
 
LOL. Maybe if European colonists had left those lands alone? You reap what you sow.
Colonialism? Yeah, the Polish, Norwegians and Scottish need to atone for their vast empires. :joy:

I'm just saying, it sounds like you have an out group preference.

He called himself "sexually racist", said he fucked two of the good ones and swears he'll never do it again and then actually has the nerve to ask if he's racist. People are a fucking trip man.
:joy::joy::joy:

I'm just participating in this thread from the other side and maybe trying to give an incite as to why men in places like Europe are starting to show in-group preferences. I was contributing as someone who was once interested in all people, but now have strict preferences.

It's only special in the minds of homo sapiens. Those minds are full of the delusion that homo sapiens are special and they're not actually. Every country and/or culture thinks they are too important to die but if anything history has taught is it all dies even stars die and with it everything on Earth.

It's starting to read like you see yourself as some form of punishment, you may want to look into that.

Great explanation, still racist.
 
Is it the problem that people have preferences, or the way they express them?

Obviously if what they say exposes their prejudiced ideas then you know what you are dealing with. But sometimes people will speak plainly and not appreciate how others take it, and give offence without intending to. It could be an honest mistake, which would be ignorance (but not deliberately malice)...

BUT - there is a thin line that a lot of white people cross where they do not care if what they say offends someone as long as they know that being offensive was not their intention... as if it was obvious to everyone. They then get to play the victim. The fault there is in the failure to see the impact their attitude has on others.

That's fine. In-group preference is part of the reason the monarchies ended in Europe. Inbreeding never ends well.

Keep up the good job. Extinction awaits on the corner.

I know you are not trolling. And that is the saddest part. I doubt you ever had any real interest in "all people", more like you had a curiosity, got the satisfaction of finding out what you wanted and now you are back to your regular self.

Good luck.
