> I think true mixed race people (half one race and half another) are good looking in general. When I see a profile that says mix race, I usually investigate and look at their picture. Often they do not look mix at all. So I find it rather pretentious for some people to have the need to classify their race as mix. Yes they technically have a mix of several races in their bloodline but my point is who isn't? Most of the American are a mixture of something. I am even technically a mix of Chinese and Mongolian/Siberian. But I do not go around posting in my profile that I am mix. I am Asian, period. So when I see a person who is by all intent and purposes looks like the general population of a particular ethnic group and they call themselves mix, I just roll my eyes. It is as if they are ashamed to identify themselves to that ethnic group that they resemble. It is as if they are more superior being mix. Whatever. I think only people who really look mix can call themselves mix without looking pretentious. Only the likes of Haley Berry or Keanu Reeves can get away calling themselves mix. Even Barrack Obama calls himself a black man when in fact his mother is white.
> Being mysterious to some degree is not a bad thing when dating a person. It can add excitement and freshness to the relationship. But being mysterious in your profile about the most basic information during the initial phases of getting to know each other is definitely a turn off. If I go on the bar with a mask, does that improve my odds in meeting people? NO! So why would people have profiles with headless/faceless picture? And on top of that, they will not divulge their age, race, height and weight. Is that suppose to be being mysterious or just being unrealistic and stupid? Who would want to chat with those profile? There are just some basic information that needs to be in the profile. Those would be the face picture, age and ht/wt.
> Grindr and Manhunt has this option to block a profile so that those blocked profiles can not see or message you. I use to get offended and annoyed that I was blocked by somebody. But now I realize it is for the best. If they want nothing to do with me, then they can block me anytime. In the long run, I would not want to associate with those kind of people anyways. And I myself would block profiles that do not bother to be fair and post a face picture. That way, I only get to see people with face picture when I am online. Making my online social networking more efficient and practical.
> Here are some pictures from different profiles I saw in Manhunt or Grindr.
I could barely tell what I am looking at. So on what planet are these pictures suppose to be effective in promoting oneself in those social networking websites? Seriously, they should get real and post a proper face picture. Or if they have to post a headless picture, at least post a better picture that people would find inviting. Not a picture that I have to stare for a minute to make out what it is.
