The sidebar's post (Red Pill Antibiotic nuke) seems to say that being rich and successful will make up for any racial handicap you may have and I agree with it.

I have seen this chart being constantly brought up by guys who claim that white guys have a big advantage over men of minority groups in the Sexual Market Place but I don't really think that's the case at all. Here is the chart for anyone that wants to get a closer look at it:

Immediately, I found it surprising that white women were less harsh towards minorities than women of minority groups were to them. Indian guys got a higher reply rate from white girls than they did from indian and latin girls!

  1. Guys of almost all races received low reply rates, all significantly less than 50%. It seems to reaffirm the belief that guys undoubtedly have it harder than women in the sexual market place.

  2. The chart breaks down the average for guys of each race, white guys have a 29.2 score but males who are "other" have a 26.8 score and middle eastern men have a 25.7 score. Now Indian men scored the lowest with a 20.8 rating but they seemed to received the worst reply rate from Indian women!

  3. While white women and women of nearly all races generally preferred white men, it isn't like the completely hated men of minority groups. Yes in general, White men did the best overall as a group on OkCupid but the chart seems to say that there were Indian, Asian, and Black men who managed to get replies from women. While the reply rate was much lower than it was for white guys, I think it spoke more about the quality of the men on OkCupid as opposed to race being a major limiting factor.

  4. The average guy scenario, most guys are going to be average. The average guy is not going to lift, maximize his SMV, or work on his game. So while the average minority might struggle a lot on OkCupid you have to examine other factors at play here. On average, white guys have a higher SMV but the reason you came to this sub is because you don't want to be the average guy of your own race (especially if you are asian or indian).

  5. This is online dating, where race undoubtedly matters more than it does in real life but if you look at it closely, you clearly see that the gap between white men and minorities is not as large as TRP might think. Here is how it can be interpreted, some populations like Indians and Asians have a lot more blue pilled nerds than other populations, women find these men repulsive regardless of race but these 2 groups just have more of these men. You can't say that it will be the same results for a man of these groups with an above average SMV.

So here is how I see it: White men in general have a higher SMV due to other factors that make men attractive. Most of the times they are taller than men of other races and a lot of the times they have a higher average salary (though asian and indian men can compete with them here, they certainly do awful as a group in other categories). Even though Asian and Indian guys as a whole do awful, I believe it is more because of the fact that they lack other SMV factors that make men unattractive rather than their ethnic appearance alone.

TLDR;

Guys in general of all races do awful on okcupid, no one race had near 50% reply rate on there. Gap between white guys and minorities is not really that large. The average minority might struggle but you came to TRP because you don't want to be average. White guys on average have a higher SMV due to being taller than average, having a better salary (though asian and indian men can compete with them here, they can't in other areas), and just being more attractive overall as a group.
