the section for whom they're looking for, they have checked every racial box except "African-American." 
That's a criticism I have of most personals sites. They really need to lose the racial categorization.
Does not being sexually attracted to most people of a certain color make you a racist?
Even if you wish you felt otherwise?

Maybe I made the mistake of being honest rather than lying like some people do.
Please women here on SG do not take this personal, I am only refering to most of the girls on the personals I (myself and me) have experienced. Same has happened to me when I first tried personals, I was honest 100% about myself and what I was looking for, and ya know what? It felt as if 99.9% of every girl on there was turned off by it. I then changed my profile after neglecting it for months. I just said to myself; "screw it.." and I made it 100% slapstick, off the wall comedy. I put things like; "seeking a girl within 4,387 miles of Boston, MA", my headline read: "seeking hot girl for me to show off and do my laundry, I have money" (I could go on). Anyways, I started getting more responses, MUCH more. Would get emails saying I was funny etc. sure some of em were just online friends and nothing more came of it, but I guess the thing to do is be yourself (I'm all about making people laugh, it's what I do) and write something that's unique and different from the other profiles. When you meet someone and start to get to know each other more, THEN be the "honest" you 
Also, guys/brothers/fellow men... I've talked to A) girls with profiles and B) guys with profiles and have asked this same question: "how many emails have you gotten from other members? The answer from the girls was usually "tons" "hundreds" "a lot" "decent amount" etc. the guys responses were usually: "none" "haha, one" "eh.. a few" "pfft fuck you dave" etc. point is, it just seems that guys just email girls a lot, and girls maybe just do it differently (am not a girl so I can't really make a good Hypothesis). I had a buddy of mine get frustrated actually about a month ago cuz he said to me; "dude what the heck, NO girl emails me back!" and even though I'm a guy and am straight, my friend who said this I can consider an attractive person, looks just like Bruce Wayne. Anywho, I told him; "dude, I've tried personals for a bit, I'm not a super expert, but I'll just say that the fellow guys like you and me I've talked to have had the same stuff happen. It's nothing personal, there's just a lot of girls who don't email back because there'sa ton of guys emailing them all the time. Just be patient, if that doesn't work.. just annoy the hell out of one you like
