In the west all you have to do is pass a certain attractive threshold and once you give the girl tingles you'll be fine. The free market of dating and sleeping around is reasonably equal once you have solid SMV.

The problem with online dating is that it is immensely logical based and based on ideal types and fetishes. Another problem is you can't talk away your face or your stereotype. Usually this means the majority of attractive women are going to pick Caucasian men in the west. You can be the exception if you are exceptionally attractive as well. For example if you have a six pack and are 6'0 or taller you'll do decently.

For all other non-white men, meet your women in person. If you're in different parts of the world the ratio differs of course.

This is a racial sexual strategy based on OKCupid's conclusions about race in the west. Almost all online dating success stories are also by Caucasian men in western countries. /u/trpsubmitter 's post on travel proves that Tinder/OKCupid works more evenly in Asian countries because of preference. Otherwise, it is racist.

Understand your region and use online dating to your advantage or don't use online dating to your advantage.
