TFA doesn't mention the race, but if I remember correctly from the okcupid article, race affects the dating way more compared to everything else.

What does TFA stand for? Also the article does mention race fwiw

> Across the four cities and the thousands of users, consistent patterns around age, race, and education level emerge. White men and Asian women are consistently more desired than other users, while black women rank anomalously lower.

Yes it does:

White men and Asian women are consistently more desired than other users, while black women rank anomalously lower.

Bruch said that race and gender stereotypes often get mixed up, with a race acquiring gendered connotations. “Asian is coded as female, so that’s why Asian women get so much market power and Asian men get so little,” she told me. “For black men and women, it’s the opposite.”

But “what we are seeing is overwhelmingly the effect of white preferences,” she cautioned. “This is site is predominantly white, 70 percent white. If this was a site that was 20 percent white, we may see a totally different desirability hierarchy.”

So the other 30% non-white display different preferences? If it is true why not share and analyze that piece of information.

She may be 25% out of my league. At 64, I can out swim 98% of women younger than me both in time and distance. I have had friends tell me I have 30x the financial assets that women my junior have. In today's society, a female's physical attributes of beauty are often declining assets. It all depends on your point of view.
