My taste is olive skinned or mixed race, not just because of the appearance, but I get really turned on by other cultures, accents, names, food, love it all. Don't be thinking you'll be on the outer because of your skin colour, bring it on baby, there are plenty like me who just love it

It's not so much the colour of the skin that makes the man, but rather the way he treats woman. In some cultures woman have no rights and are treated in a disrespectful manner, to be used and absurd. We have experienced /witnessed this first hand, several times, at swingers clubs / parties. - Posted from rhpmobile

..on a intimate level. I don't really know what it is - maybe because I have never been there.. Call is racist or what ever you like. I am not sure what my mental block is, though I know it is there. Maybe one day I may go there but for some reason it frightens me. Go Figure

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see new people posting. Back on topic, I find gentle smart well-groomed men of all races quite attractive. From Will Smith and Idris elba to young Omar Shariff to Hugh Jackman. Just don't know what it is with this men that tickle my fancy. But i do have a particular penchant to well-built sporty looking men with big guns, pecs and broad shoulders. This will be the initial attraction then further chat will dictate whether there is more to the attraction and whether I want to proceed further. Don't take it to heart if people you contact are not attracted to you, just their personal preference. Just move on. You know that the ratio of male to female members here is apparently approx 5:1 so the competition between men to meet women can be steep, even for good looking young well built men like yourself. so if you dont get the response you expect as you do in Real Life, don't be surprised. We, rhp women, are spoilt for choice. Again, just move on. It is a numbers game and be respectful in your approach and messages. check Meander's 10 commandments in creating your profile and approaching members. Might be helpful for a young hot grasshopper like you. Good luck OP.

Certain physical features that are more prevalent in some races/ethnic backgrounds than others. For example, I like men over six foot, and I've not met a Chinese man that tall yet. So yes, you could say I have race related preferences, even though they have nothing to do with skin colour.

No he didn't but assuming he may be new on here, it may be helpful advice (albeit unsolicited, sorry OP, just being helpful) to understand why there may a NO response to his some approaches. If he can eliminate some of these factors, then can further assess his success rate in meeting people, whether he was turned down not by his respectful approach and interesting profile but it may be more personal, which could have racial overtones due to the other person's personal preferences. It is just part of understanding the dynamics of meeting people in the rhp bubble, thus setting realistic expectations.

Quoting 'Meowcolm_X' I don't know why, but for some reason I just don't find asians attractive. I am very far from being racist. Attraction is so personal and not really something you can control or make sense of. There is nothing wrong with your preferences. I dont see it as being racist. If asian women or men dont do it for you, then that is just what it is. Being racist is if you refuse to associate (sociallly) or interact with them solely due to their race. Now that is questionable. I dont believe you do.

Just as there are attractive Caucasians , there are attractive Asians , Indians , etc.. Gets back to the eye of the beholder.. I've had my share of ladies of a different race and don't regret a thing. I have a open mind when it comes to race but must admit there are some I avoid because of bad attitude...

I wouldn't say I am having a problem but it was just a matter of question if the rejections I had from some was for my race or not? My approaches are actually always very formal (maybe too formal haha) but I always approach with respect and ask for permission to chat first (that is how I think I would prefer to be approached) I am fairly new to the country and to be honest specially as someone from a Middle Eastern race it is not easy to be approachable ( I don't blame anyone due to the circumstances it is quiet predictable) , so was simply just wondering if when it comes to sex there can be racial preference as well ( I personally don't have one attractive is attractive ) ... On the other hand as everyone I had good experiences on rhp and bad experiences as well but never had a racist comment or rejection

In fact I'd go as far to say. I hate certain races and I don't think there is anything wrong with that nor do I make any apologies for it. You see my running club dropped the 5km in favour of the 10km race. I bloody hate the 10km race and don't get me started on the half marathon....Wait that's not what we're talking about, is it? - Posted from rhpmobile

Recently read his book on the difficulties that the Islamic community is facing in Australia, in the light of the current events and the resulting racial slurs and attitudes they encounter. Just brilliant and timely. His mind is just way too sexy and attractive. come to think of it, I do have a personal preference for tall dark featured men, Mediterranean (Italian, spanish, French, Persians) and some African men. I have just looked at my previous lovers and there was indeed a trend. But they all have to be smart, well groomed, funny and kind. Muscly is a bonus.

I never thought I'd be in an interacial relationship yet here I am. Previously I may have said that I just wasn't interested in dabbling with non-caucasian or men of other nationalities for no other reason than the stereotypes typically bandied around about other cultures. Muslim men are wife beaters, just like kiwi men. French and italian men are players, americans are narcissistic, chinese well they're on the short side in more ways than one. Dark men are just too dark etc etc etc. (generalising here definitely not observations I share) I think the biggest thing going against any interacial exploration is a fear of the unknown, cultural, religious, societal, exotic appearance. Like everything though that can be overcome if the interest and desire to do so exists. I now cohabitate with my Sri Lankan Pommy and have noticed how the interest of men of other cultures has increased substantially, they even gamely approach with Him at my side, he takes it in his stride and has caused some hilarious moments as well. It's been surprising that white men don't seem perturbed by our coupledom. Maybe society isn't as backward as it used to be. My suggestion: don't give up, people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind. Good luck and fare thee well ~ Indy (Ranga status noted S_Ontheloose!!) lol

I don't rule out anyone based only on their race, BUT there are a couple of races of people that I have never been attracted to. I have also found that there are some races who do tend to treat women worse than other races. Ive seen it myself, many times, at swingers clubs.

It's clear if you are a minority you will have to work a lot harder than if you are white. Especially girls who are a 9 or 10 you have little to no chance based on my interactions with them. I don't blame them, it's the environment they were nurtured in that has lead them to these tastes. Older women here are much more relaxed however. I'm pretty much done on this site, if you're not 6ft with abs and tats don't bother with sites like these. im not blaming anyone but I'm seeing that this crowd in the age range 25-35 isn't interested at all. In the mean time I'll keep trying while I've got credit

Going for guys that are 6ft (or more) just makes good sense, it is scientifically established they're better than the rest... ;)

Going for guys that are 6ft (or more) just makes good sense, it is scientifically established they're better than the rest... ;) I disagree, I believe the environment (people around you, on the street, friends, media, internet etc) they were brought up in, does play a large role but not the only role in how a person behaves. I wasn't quite conveying that 'white is right' in a particular environment - unless you're brought up with the KKK. When a person that isn't from a country they were brought up in (ethnicity wise), they're going to tend to prefer to like what is around them because they're surrounded by it everyday and they're going to think this is way I should behave, this is how i should portray myself and treat others which tends to lead to some level of connection. Depends on the woman you're going for. Women have their preferences (tatts etc) in that area too. I wouldn't say people with tatts are of 'lower class' not till you talk to them and get to know them. Depends on what they got that tattoo for and if it represents who they are and that doesn't mean gangster type personas or badass there are a plethora of other reasons. It is of a higher chance they will have this but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt before I decide if they're that type of person or not. haha you might be 6ft but i could crack a few walnuts between my ass and thighs plus who doesn't want mixed babies!

Mr is Maori but not really what is considered a normal stereotype of one (tall and solid). He's only 5'9 and has more of a swimmers slim, athletic body and he's very light lol. I use to say on our profile that he was Maori but decided to remove that line to run an experiment to see if we got more interest saying he is mixed heritage with mocca skin. It's been about 2 months since I did this and I can say our rate of incoming messages has increased noticeably and nothing else on our profile was significantly changed at the time. In our experience older couples/ladies of all nationalities/races are more open to the fact he's not white. For younger girls/couples of mixed race this is the same but younger Caucasian girls/couples seem to be put off by the fact he's not white. As soon as we show them our PG we never hear from them again lol. Mr does not look his age and is often told he looks about 30 so I do not believe it's because younger couples/girls think he looks too old, I completely believe it is related to the fact he's not white. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter too much to us, everyone has their preference

Quoting 'On_Safari' I think the biggest thing going against any interacial exploration for me is a fear of the unknown, cultural, religious. I think getting to know someone is so important in breaking down barriers and stereotypes. For me at the moment, I don't have a need or desire to go there. That's just me. I have met men from many different cultural backgrounds when out socially, on dance floors and as customers through work. In the work experience some of these men were very rude and disrespectful to me because I am a woman and they insisted on negotiating with a male. Socially they have been persistent and didn't understand the meaning of no ... so that has clouded my judgement I guess. One guy who was a work colleague was also a stalker and even rented a house near mine so he could watch me. I don't think my mistrust of these cultures is unreasonable and because of this I can say that yes I have a preference for Caucasian men. I have a better understanding of Caucasian men and for the most part I relate to their style of thinking. It sounds like I am stereotyping but this has been my experience and I am sure there are many free thinking men from all races out there. Sadly, I just haven't come across them. So OP to answer your question, for me, yes it is a deal breaker. LG

Good luck and fare thee well ~ Indy (Ranga status noted S_Ontheloose!!) lol I get there there is a stereotype about Maori men being abusive On_Safari and I'm in no way going off at your rather I'm having a rant about those people who judge others based on what they have heard rather than by getting to know someone first and the type of personality/character they have. I was warned off dating Mr when we first met by my parents just because he is Maori. I remember my mum clearly saying 'dont date him, he's Maori they are well known for being abusive' However I have met no one more against domestic and physical violence than my boyfriend. We have been together for over 3 years and he has never once acted in a violent way towards me and I have never once felt unsafe in his company even when he has been drinking and he have a disagreement or such. He donates $100 a month towards domestic abuse and child abuse and is always looking out for the single mum that lives in our unit complex who has a not so nice male friend. He has in the past stepped in and stopped numerous fights and guys beating up on women. So I do get rather annoyed when I tell people he's Maori and they react in a way that clearly says 'really your with one of them!?' I have had friends come to me and ask me if my home life is 'ok' and if I ever need to talk rarara. Seriously it pisses me off. Just because someone is a certain nationality it does not mean they are all by default abusive or violent.

To quote you..."I have a better understanding of caucasian men and for the most part I relate to their style of thinking". It's disappointing to hear that anyone feels this way. It suggests that caucasian men "think" differently than non-caucasian. I was born in Papua New Guinea, living there for a few years...I vaguely remember the village and the reef off it...before my parents brought myself and my siblings to Australia, where my parents knew we would get a much better education and future prospects. My primary school years, I grew up in the small town of Sassafras in Victoria's Dandenong Ranges...for most of my time there I think I was the only dark-skinned child at the school. But little kids see past those divisions and it was as normal an experience as I would expect it to be.Perhaps not surprisingly, I have grown to manhood with a preference in caucasian-type features in women...not so much skin colour...but the higher cheekbones, narrower noses, straighter hair, etc. This is nothing definitive, just how feel up to now. And I have seen the same preferences in the marriage and relationship choices of my older brother and sister.Looking back on my own is why I believe we are products of our upbringing. Leave my appearance aside and I don't see how I am any different now to those caucasian boys...friends...that I grew up with. I don't see why caucasian men would "think" any differently to me.

Unfortunatly TheBlueTape, perhaps your not getting the desired response because not all women on here are petite and athletic. If u were in my area I'd consider you but because I'm not within ur stipulated criteria I wouldn't initiate contact with you and perhaps other women have felt the same. It's not all about height and abs. In my preference chiselled muscles are nice to look at but aren't really my thing. I like toned but not overly as I do like some meat on my men.

It is very interesting to read the various views here, I understand where everyone is coming from ... But it is very sad to find people judge a certain race after they have a couple of bad experiences with that particular race ... I never judge an entire race no matter how many bad experiences I face, I always think people are different and experiences will always be different. I hate stereotyping, of course people are affected by their surroundings but I think we should definitely be smarter than that and start treating people for who they actually are rather than just what their appearance presents ... Not to say that this kind of judging will not always be there, it always will and it is all around the world ... I just wish it wasn't

I agree that our upbringing and surroundings influence our preferences. My background is European but I was born and raised in Australia. The majority of people I grew up with from school age to now have predominantly been Caucasian. I feel comfortable in that environment and I understand the mindset. If you were raised here your mindset is partially Aussie and therefore I would feel comfortable with you regardless of skin colour. Answering OPs question: " is it common for women to have racial preferences here? Is it a big deal breaker?" For me, looking at a profile picture, not knowing the person, I can honestly say yes it is a deal breaker as I imagine (rightly or wrongly) cultural differences where women may not treated well and I ask myself "do I take a chance?". How we react to people in RHPland isn't always the same as if we met the person in the real world. Trusting what is written in a profile isn't always advisable. As part of any screening process there are many things men and women take into account. Unfortunately, due to my past experiences skin colour does come into it. To be clear it is not the skin colour as such but my perception of the cultural mindset that may come with it. Out in the real world the character of a person is a deal maker or breaker. I hope my clumsy explanation makes sense as I do not wish to upset or offend anyone. It is my personal way of screening the unknown. LG

Now I love my skin and have had many compliments on it, and I'm actually a bit sad that it's lighter now because I don't spend much time in the sun as I did when I was younger.

There are plenty of Caucasian men who also have very poor attitudes to women, and who abuse, injure, stalk, rape, and kill women. I prefer to judge someone on their own individual merit. I have to laugh at some of the male members of our government and their pontification about a certain religion and its treatment of women. I'm not sure why these men think they have some sort of moral highground when it comes to that subject, considering the immense harm they are doing to women in this country with all of their de-funding and closing down of relevant support services. And of course there is our current PM's view of women, which along with the rest of his ideas is stuck back in the 1950s somewhere.

a person can be a good person or a bad person regardless of their colour or their age or body shape YET - we - humans- we all choose based on certain "attributes" (age, size, shape, and yes sometimes skin colour) - I don't think that is nothing wrong to be aware of..

I have met a number of nice openminded couples and singles here. I can say 99.9% of my experiences have been non racial biased or judgemental. Most of people on RHP, have no problem with race, and will meet you because of your attributes and not because of your ethnicity/race. There are few people who choose to stick with their stereotyped ideas... and work real hard to find justification of their beliefs. In my experience these people are truly rare species 😉 Race isn't an issue for many people here. My one cent opinion😊 - Posted from rhpmobile

For most people it takes quite a lot of different boxes to get a positive tick before they would contemplate welcoming another to have sex with them...personality, attitudes, respect, hygiene, height, weight, appearance, enthusiasm, humour, and many more. Not every box needs the ideal positive tick and the balance of importance shifts a bit when you find someone who manges to tick some boxes really well. We all do this subconsciously and it starts in the blink of an eye with first impressions...this is a physical measure and everyone has a right to their own tastes when it comes to intimate contact. Of course different races often have different physical characteristic and therefore this is going to play it's part in each persons measure of attractiveness. How big a part ??, well I guess that depends on how well they tick the other boxes. The trick is how you shine your own light to let others see the elements that they find attractive, and how they do that for you too. Enjoy! Xxxx

Quoting 'Freya70'Taby the same people no doubt work hard on their tans..go figure xxFreys You know the saying - 'Everybody wants to be black, but nobody wants to be black'. I can understand and agree with Leo_girl's views. There are less than desirable stereotypes associated with many cultures that are impossible to tell online. We generally tend to stick to the party scene to get around that. There have been a few people whose profiles we'd probably have given a miss and they turned out to be absolutely amazing people in real life (which also goes the other way round). Everybody has a preference, be it skin colour, culture, size, body size, shape etc..if we all liked the same thing, then life wouldn't be interesting .

Quoting 'TheBlueTape' Quoting 'S_OnTheLoose' Quoting 'TheBlueTape' It's clear if you are a minority you will have to work a lot harder than if you are white. Especially girls who are a 9 or 10 you have little to no chance based on my interactions with them. I don't blame them, it's the environment they were nurtured in that has lead them to these tastes. Older women here are much more relaxed however. I'm pretty much done on this site, if you're not 6ft with abs and tats don't bother with sites like these. im not blaming anyone but I'm seeing that this crowd in the age range 25-35 isn't interested at all. In the mean time I'll keep trying while I've got credit I don't know that saying environment pretty much says "white is right" then leads to also including tattoos as a positive - they're traditionally considered lower class and markings of undesirables and ne'er-do-wells. Going for guys that are 6ft (or more) just makes good sense, it is scientifically established they're better than the rest... ;) I disagree, I believe the environment (people around you, on the street, friends, media, internet etc) they were brought up in, does play a large role but not the only role in how a person behaves. I wasn't quite conveying that 'white is right' in a particular environment - unless you're brought up with the KKK. When a person that isn't from a country they were brought up in (ethnicity wise), they're going to tend to prefer to like what is around them because they're surrounded by it everyday and they're going to think this is way I should behave, this is how i should portray myself and treat others which tends to lead to some level of connection. Depends on the woman you're going for. Women have their preferences (tatts etc) in that area too. I wouldn't say people with tatts are of 'lower class' not till you talk to them and get to know them. Depends on what they got that tattoo for and if it represents who they are and that doesn't mean gangster type personas or badass there are a plethora of other reasons. It is of a higher chance they will have this but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt before I decide if they're that type of person or not. haha you might be 6ft but i could crack a few walnuts between my ass and thighs plus who doesn't want mixed babies! My opinion differs to yours in the sense that I think mixed or other race people are of the opinion that caucasians are more often than not, not attracted, but stick more to their own, but what you think and what we're thinking can and often are two different things, why wouldn't we like what's different. Put it this way, it's like living in the same suburb, grow up there, never move away, same people, same streets, views, you soon get bored of it and need to move away, becomes boring and uninspiring. I'm incredibly turned on by other race guys, if only you knew what I would be thinking if you walked past me in the street, thoughts would resemble something like 'get over here' 'don't walk away' 'stop' haha okay so I'm a tart, but surely I'm not the only one

...or is it the other way around? Whatever. The two are connected. Fear of the unknown, fear of stereotypes, fear of being wrong( or right ), fear of what our peers think, etc etc. I've already mentioned my physical preferences earlier...I'm a puppy who was raised in a community of cats, so I like cats. But I don't care if they're a cat that thinks like a dog. Or something that simple. Where I was actually born has had no impact on the moulding of my psyche...I have a nephew born in China and a niece born in the UAE, but they have nothing in common with those nations and cultures. It's just a dot on a map where they came into the world.Being mixed race, I am actually 50% Caucasian...but I bet when a stranger sees me in the street they don't see a half white man. Everyone we meet and see around us we briefly catalogue in our minds...I do it too...there goes a white man, pretty black girl, a Japanese girl perhaps, white man with hoodie up, Greek man perhaps, and so on. When I go into a shop and buy some bread say, I will usually smile and make a warm greeting to the person at the counter straight away to put them at ease. I'm very aware of unpleasant stereotypes...and I'm a 6ft, slightly angry looking dark man with a shaved head and a fuzzy face. I speak first to break that stereotype mould that surrounds me as I know how articulate I am and that it doesn't fit with that stereotype. I do this not just for others but because my dealings with strangers will be easier...and beneficial to me...if they are comfortable first.My point of all this, I think, is that when I reflect on my own...sense of self?...then I can see the folly in stereotyping and pigeon holing any other by racial grouping. Like I said, I do it too...to a degree.But it's not a reliable mental tool. It's notoriously inaccurate and only fosters more fear, which is the real boogyman in the cupboard to be overcome.

Sometimes we see ourselves differently to how others see us. To me you don't look non-Caucasian (no judgement there, either good or bad, right or wrong) just surprised at your revelation both in this post and your previous one. Not sure about the ignorance breeds fear comment. In some instances that maybe the case. My preferences are based on several bad experiences not stereotypes. I liken it to: if you put your hand too close to fire and get burned, you learn not to do it again. Maybe I need to invest in a fire-proof gloves....lol. Peace all. LG

Quoting 'Luck_Dragon'I have to laugh at some of the male members of our government and their pontification about a certain religion and its treatment of women. I'm not sure why these men think they have some sort of moral highground when it comes to that subject, considering the immense harm they are doing to women in this country with all of their de-funding and closing down of relevant support services. I'm sure their perception of how that certain religion treats women is much worse than any effects that they perceive to come from cutting funding to support services - that perception may not entirely match up with reality though.

... may have had something to do with the typical stereotype with regards to Maori men (which is not a reflection of Maori culture I might add). Small price to pay as it pales in comparison to the overall impact that it had in bringing global issues to the forefront. @Koolgrey, don't know who said it but ... Ignorance breeds fear. Fear of the unknown, different & misunderstood breeds hate. Hate breeds violence. Education breeds confidence, confidence breeds hope, hope breeds peace.

Peace be to you too. We are who we are. The relevance of my race has rarely cropped up in my life so far, usually just that I can't tick that special box on a job application that pertains to heritage in this country. Personally, I don't think it does any of us a favour in the long run.But attitudes to skin colour...whatever shade of grey...will be slower to change if we don't discuss them from time to time.Ignorance...a lack of understanding...is often at the heart of it.

Interesting reading. Although I have been pleased with the pleasure of female interaction with many different races (skin/culture) up until recently I for what ever reason wasn't interesting in Asian Woman ~ let me say this has all changed :-) I honestly didn't find Asian Woman attractive until I met a lovely sexy young Vietnamese Lady, and now my preference for which I intrinsically don't know is Asian Woman. As Australia is very much a multicultural place in modern times I notice many attractive Asian Woman which I didn't in the past. Have to say Japanese and Vietnamese are my preference though ~ and yes although I classify myself as ' Dinky Die Aussie' born and bred I have Italian and English heritage...

If you're a chick, of average attractiveness and hold a decent convo, most men will stick their dick in anything no matter what race you are. Guys on the other hand, it's not as easy and even more daunting for minorities. and i agree japanese and vietnamese women are hot.

Put simply, due to the supply and demand of women and men on here, female preferences that exist in the real world are disproportionally magnified in the RHP (or any other dating site) microcosm, such as racial preferences, height, body type, body hair, $$$...etc. Whereas in the real world, women with very strict preferences are in the minority.

Actually, you would be incorrect in your assumption. It depends on where you grew up. I grew up in Far North Queensland and it's very common. I myself am part Indigenous.

Sorry that that question even needs to be asked....you know most Aussies are very tolerant after all we are a young and multicultural society. We value a fair go. Discriminating against someone on any level is the opposite to a fair go....all that said naturally people have there own likes and dislikes in terms of a multitude of personal characteristics. Like mea said earlier I too live curvy ample breasted women. A lot of Asian ladies do not fit that criteria. That's just me and my preferences and in no way race related in any way. If an Asian lady did fit that criteria she would have my head turning.........Good luck mate although I'd say you'll fare well anywayz. SA

As a mixed race bloke, my preferences for partners has changed over the years. The big challenge is actually overcoming preconceptions of culture (and by extension, race). A bit of my background:I was born in the East, raised in the West and settled 20 plus years ago downunder. In the flesh, I have been told I look anything from Latino to Meditteranean or Middle Easternn. On the phone, I have been told by some my accent is anything from BBC English to newsreader Australian - until I start cursing ;) I do feel sexual partner preferences are a combination of environment & upbringing, values taught and passed on, as well as your own experiences. However, with RHP and other online channels, a lot of the factors we use to gain a level of 'comfort' with a potential playmate is boiled down to the purely visual.Preconceptions are built and reinforced in relative safety of your own home. At the risk of sounding 'ageist', the 18-30s are very visually orientated. Virtual experience seems to have almost as much value as the real world version - why be there to experience in the flesh when you can decide online ? Unfortunately that also seeps into the thinking of older folks that have had a more insular life too. Not immune here - Asian profiles don't do much for me. Despite the fact in the real world I have been lucky enough to have had Asian ladies as sexual partners, close friends, and mentors. I also have a less than positive view of the country I was born in. That hasn't stopped me from experiencing both - just not my default setting - and I have only regretted it occasionally. That's what I am thinking if I ever get the feeling my race/background was the deciding factor for getting a rejection, or making a preference myself. You win some, you lose some - whose loss it is depends on your point of view.

I don't normally do a lot on the blogs apart from read them and have a chuckle! But, I guess since I am not white (obviously), I tend to inform people when I open up my gallery that I am Samoan. Then they don't get the big taa daa when they open it and see that I am Samoan! Being Samoan tends to corner my market (it's a very small corner) Happy hunting

I wouldn't know if it is common or not in here to have a racial preference. I assume all people have some mixed bag of preferences, which may or may not include race. I certainly have my own personal medley of preferences, and what racial category a person has been plucked from isn't one of them. Hope you find someone who likes to pounce

Being Samoan tends to corner my market (it's a very small corner) Happy hunting I have no issues with you being Samoan... I find Islanders sexy... e.g. The Rock (he is Samoan) and a few UFC fighters. After having a look at your profile, it is the fact that you are MARRIED is the turn-off for me. Nothing to do with your race. Based on the numerous forum topics on RHP wrt to married men seeking on their own here in this site, it may be difficult for you to find the single women to meet with you. you can search the forum for related info just to give yourself background and you can do due dilligence and adjust your expectations accordingly. I wish you best of luck in what you are searching for.
