Been trying it out in Manhattan but the people it shows seem to poor matches compared to hinge/CMB etc. I thought the algo would be much better given Facebook data. Also, there's no way to filter on things like ethnicity. Can anyone from Facebook comment?
Filtering on ethnicity hmmm 🤔
I love how a main complaint is inability to filter on ethnicity
I mean there was a post here a week or two ago from an Indian woman who said she absolutely knew she had to marry an Indian man or her parents would not approve. I’m a white American so obviously all this is very different for me. If I had married a person of color my parents may not have been thrilled/may have been worried about the experiences of our mixed race kids, etc- but that would be seen as pretty much super racist at least by people on the political left in the US. It’s a complex thing for sure.
If she wants to stay in the US then how does it make a difference? If she wants to move back, it may be a problem if the guy doesn't want to move. Other that that I can't think of any other problems so long as they are respectful and understanding of each others' cultures. Filtering on ethnicity doesn't mean racism. It means preference. I haven't used fb dating but there needs to be a ethnicity filter if there isn't one already.
There is nothing wrong if someone wants to date people from a certain race. Racist is when you don’t equally respect people from all races.
At long as ppl owe up to it. So many want to dodge the topic.
Tons of Asian women date and marry white guys just to feel superior
Interesting
That’s a really weird reason to assume and makes it seem like you’re angry about it. I think it comes down to: (1) There are lots of white dudes, so it’s natural that there will be lots of married white dudes. (2) Asian women are statistically the most coveted dating pool. (3) Most mixed couples I’ve asked bring up how cute hybrid babies are. I’m a white guy and although I’m flexible, my preference is to marry an Asian woman.
Oh lmao I was using it on route to JFK and I thought my location was Manhattan.
You need Ethnicity as a data field to be captured in FB profiles first before you can hope to have it as a filter. You scumbag
If Facebook can use ML for faces I'm sure they have it for ethnicity. I assume this would be requirement for their advertising department. Everyone using this feature is a scumbag?
Before the leftist virtuous signaling gets out of control in this thread, I want to call out these pathetic eye rolling comments. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preferences of getting into a relationship with a person of same background, race, skin color, etc. Why the fuck is that a problem? I want to be able to share with them the kind of experiences they could relate to easily. It’s not that I don’t like other races. I just don’t want them to go through the excruciating process of trying to understand me. I want them to eat the same food that I enjoy. I want to explain to them what happened to me in my childhood which only people of same races would understand easily. Don’t you fucking dare tell me that I am racist. Don’t you fucking dare say that you don’t have any kind of preferences towards your potential partners. How pathetic. SO FUCK OFF AND THINK FOR YOURSELF before all the leftist rhetoric turns you into a real social justice warrior.
Chill dude. We understand :)
yeah wow I felt like we were having a helpful and civil dialogue about the different views on this issue and you come in guns blazing 😳
People still using FB ?
Is it bad to be a racist? Such a trivial matter blown out of proportion on social media. Otoh, no one talks about sewage cleaning, garbage collection, clean water, 24/7 electricity and running water, long distance transportation, fiber optic cables in the ocean, deepwater oil drilling, rockets, industrial machines, elevators, carpentry, microscopes, cells and biology, atoms and molecules, consciousness, neurons, balding, gps, nature trails, fire, HVAC systems. No. Racist. YESSS! It's a beautiful world but we all stuck in menial namecalling and our little opinionated stances.
True, is racism that important. It is an inherent attribute of been human and you can’t fight biology

Last evening, my friend who hardly got matches on dilmil and cmb showed me how he was getting a significant number of matches (and good quality) on fb dating. Are you sure it's not your profile?
It wasnt the matches but the list of potential matches that it was showing (mostly black - sorry not my preference). I realized it was bc my location was reset on route to JFK outside of the city
