24. I guess my guess would be that so many different people living together is

still relatively new. If you're more likely to get together with like minded people, then you would probably be more likely to be attracted to people that look more like you.

We're a tribal species. Social, but nevertheless tribal. We group ourselves into smaller and smaller units all the time. Look at politics. We don't really like having just 2 parties. We want more parties that represent the various groups of people, since two doesn't quite cut it. Another example would be the internet. Subgroups within subgroups within subgroups, etc, etc, etc.

Everything is increasingly individualized. We used to just have a rotary phone. Simple, everyone had it, it had the same ring. Now everyone has their own personalized phone, with their own apps, etc.

What else would a dating site be? It's designed to weed out anything you don't want. It's there to get you someone specific, that fits a very narrow definition of what the individual finds most attractive. I'm sure it asks you your height, maybe your weight, eye and hair color, in addition to race. Why are there black dating sites? Why are there Jewish dating sites? Christian dating sites. Farmer dating sites.

Who are we? Beings with individual preferences. Why are we that way? Modern society tells us to be that way. At least in some ways. Older societies would tell you who to marry, or what you could do for a job, etc, and that was that, end of story.
