I joined this site three days a go or so.
The one thing that supposedly brings people together on this site is that they are dating people of another race. I fnd that the reality here is more like a group of people from a particular social demographic who happen to be dating IR, and are hypersentitive to anything that they deem to be too close to "racial stereotypes", or anything that dosen't fit their world view.
It is at once perplexing and amusing that members of a website with a name like whitewomenblackmen.com is hypersentative of anything thing some one says that seems to confirm a stereotype (gender, racial or a combination thereof).
I joined up initially with the intention of asking real life questions that I couldnt ask people I knew - either because they were slightly too personal, or because the people I was asking would have no idea of what I was talking about (i.e. asking WMs who form most of my closest friends and work colleagues).
Instead, what I found was (with the possible exception of a few), a clique of people with a fundamentally different world view, life experience and cultural norms. Furthermore, there seems to be a constant "siege" mentality where every post by a member who dosen't fit the "group think" is suspected of being a troll or a BW, WM masquerading as someone else.
I'm sure this works for you (and I see some of you have been here for a few years) - but its not something that I want to be part of, as I dont feel I have anything in common with the large majority of people here. I daresay, in real life, our paths would probably never cross.
There appear to be people with real issues here, and I am not sure whether to feel sorry for them, or mock them with their feeble attempts of using stick man arguments and ad hominen barbs.
I have far much better things to do than arguing on an online forum about petty things with hyper sensitive people who I will never meet.
Just not my thing, or my kind of people. Keep doing what works for you though.
