I think that's wonderful!
We are ALL humans. Everything else is noise.

Half-Irish and English, I married a Latino man. We met through the YMCA. As YMCA program directors, Terry worked in Wenatchee and I worked in Seattle.

"You are from different socioeconomic classes, different cultures and different parts of the country," my mother cautioned us. "You will have to deal with this every day of your life."

We laughed, protesting, "love conquers all." She was right.

Terry's mother rejected me, calling me disparagingly "the Anglo." "You are not family," she said.

Our daughter, Claire, is half Spanish. At 28, Claire married Matt, 35, with Scandinavian heritage at Lake Chelan in Sept. 2018.

Good to hear.

Pretty interesting. Thank you.

Interesting...

Good article, it could cause some big changes for insular communities.

Hooray! I'm part of a social movement!

The only online dating site that I like was bumble all other sites tinder POF all was a bunch of garbage. You're better off just going out there with some flowers and free hugs you will find someone that want to be with you.

Yes i can definitly see that trend,with what people reveal about them selves as long as they are telling the truth and put up a recent picture make both parties much more comfortable with each other on the initial meet up to see if there is a spark to go any further

So good to hear ! It's way overdue.

I've always been a proponent of inter-racial dating, even before the Internet.

This does not surprise me.
On dating sites I always looked for different Ethinicities first. Plenty of white, wasp, Catholic women where I am. And they either smoke, are obese, not interesting, redneck or think that they are religious.

And the coup de grace: their expectations are sky high, while their tastes are way down looooow. (WAIT!! Are we talking dating sites or ex wives? )

There's hope; only a million, "No thanks, " before that one, "yes."

Online dating is the worst thing I ever did to myself. I wish I had never written my first "profile," and I'll never write another.
I'm glad it's having such a wonderful effect on "society," however, whatever that means. I only wish it had a similar effect on me personally. It was nothing but a nightmare.

I met my significant other online.

Actually, black women and Asian men are the most discouraged combo

I admit to being a tad confused here in that online dating is hardly so new as to be regarded by anyone as a "wacky new trend". I suspect it's been THE driving force in meeting significant others for at least 15 years now.

I would also imagine that fundamentalist parents have warned their children away from online dating for at least 20 of those 15 years.

Even my secular friends warned me that meeting my now-wife in-person for the first time after a period of conducting a long-distance relationship, might result in me being made into a lampshade, which is at least not a totally imaginary concern about the online dating process.

That said, I think the author is right that online dating and social media tends to break down traditional barriers, and that this is mostly good.

....a welcome development. To make decisions free of
tyranny using our intellect and human judgement.
Thanks For The Post

I can see this as we tend to live in a self segregating society. Online we break barriers we do not challenge in person

Use an accurate, recent photo. Trust me, you will hear nothing.

Everyone is looking for "Studly" or "Super Fox"

Almost everyone falls outside of this group of quarterbacks and head cheerleaders.

Could it be that a significant percent of white people take on airs and privilege to the point where only the stupidly desperate of their race would consider them? Then, after divorcing the lying, grasping, manipulative fool, try someone from another race. Find that the new partner doesn't lay in the bed like a dead fish, but actually participates? And even better, isn't psychotically bipolar?

It's really just another consequence of the same Disney Princess pathology that degrades our culture.
