The way you put it is rude, although your sources would suggest they are less successful with online dating. Unfortunately the samples are from online dating.

You're right Luka. We also don't know whether the samples have limited external validity as there may be differences between the types of people who go on internet dating sites, and those who don't. Also, this is on valid to online dating IF the reliability is good and the way in which the study was valid without results being too interfered with by other factors. How do we know for sure men/women didn't pick black women purely on the basis of appearance? How do we know there aren't social and cultural influences involved? We don't. It's a study about opinions, which is rarely as simple as it seems.
