Seriously, they may be cutting off a large market share, but obviously it must not be impacting them enough for them to be able to choose who they prefer to see. Nothing to do with them being dumb.
I prefer to see women who weigh less than me. That's my choice. There are very many nice, sexy larger women out there, but it doesn't make me dumb because I've limited my choices due to personal tastes in who I prefer to see. It gets old when others play the race card every time a gal states that she doesn't see AA men. I'm Caucasian and if I read an ad that states "no white men", I'd move on to the next ad and not give it another thought. It wouldn't be my problem, it would be hers if she excludes me, which also then means excluding my money. The OP must have time on his hands to care/worry that much and to then spend the time to "wonder" about the ad. This subject gets brought up over and over. There are too many girls out there to worry about focusing on the very small group of them that don't see AA men. I've seen more ads that state "no overweight". Well, seeing that I need to lose a good 20-30, I feel that that statement excludes me. What do I do? I read the next ad w/o another thought about it.

It's not "pulling the race card" to discuss it though. If it chafes you so much to see people discussing this topic, maybe don't need to click on this thread. You have the same outlook as a lot of guys i know though. "It doesn't apply to me, so it's not important." If you do see an ad that states "No white men allowed" please let me know. I think I've only seen one of those in all my years of hobbying.
There's a long history of bad race relations in this country and I guess it pushes some people's buttons to know that even in the fantasy world of the hobby there are still people lined up and ready to treat you differently because of your skin color. A lot of people try to equate their hobby choices (eye color, weight, height, hair color, etc) as being the same as any other form of discrimination. It's not. It's a choice made based on your level of attraction, not a decision to not see a group of people because of whatever preconceived notion you may have about said group.
I know this subject comes up way too much for some people's tastes, but there are guys who may not have seen those previous threads or who are relatively new to the hobby and this forum and just want someone else's input. That is what ECCIE is here for. It's always a ladies choice to see who she chooses to see, but when we get to the point where we better not even mention this topic, there's something wrong.
