This is my experience as foreigner, I'm an international student from Libya. I'm half black half Arab, I think I'm not sure completely about my heritage, my skins not dark and it's not light either, it's kinda brownish.

Anyway ever since I came here the girls in my Uni never interested me so I never approached them. This last year I was kinda feeling lonely cause all my friends (I only have international friends) left the country and now it's just me and one of my friends left LITERALLY. So I decided to hope on dating apps see my luck in meeting new people.

The conclusion that I have come to is the apps are useless for international student unless you're pale, then you will be put on a pedestal. When It comes to me idgaf what your ethnic background is, if you look good to me then you look good and ima swipe but I definitely think my skin colour factor into them swiping left, cause I'm not ugly I used to get a fair amount of compliments back when I lived in UK. Even some Japanese man here when I first came in midvalley called me handsome(three times lol) he was shopping with his wife
Tinder I got a few matches, not much but whenever I did matched they always had some sort of issue, like being transgender, fake account, super super super dry convos that got me sighing (the convos actually killed me) idk how most these girls can have the most dead personalities. I'm not gonna if it's a thing where they're just playing hard to get idgaf I'm a adult I'm not fking playing games if you like me then that's that. I'm not gonna wait 3 hours just to reply to you or vice versa. Another issue with tinder is there is too many guys on there and barely any girl.
Omi. This one has to be the worst for foreigners all the girls there speak Malay and if they do speak English it's broken.

Bumble I would get a few matches but they're boring af and make me wanna sleep like they really need to go purchase personalities. It's literally like I'm getting matched with the same dull girl again and again and again.

OkCupid. This one was the most promising at the start but the more I used it the less matches it started giving and now it's a ghost town.
I haven't met any girls from these dating apps, don't think I will and I don't think I will ever be in a relationship in this country due to a few factors:

1. My skin colour is looked down upon in this country (racism)
2. A lot of girls that I have met irl or on dating apps lack personalities (this could be because of there lack of vocabulary in English)

Idk I kinda just gave up on this point and I might as well just finish my studies and go back to my country and date from my own nationality at least they will accept me regardless of my skin colour (there are white ppl in Libya too, it's actually mostly white but then I'm from down south where the skins start getting more tanned but most ppl live up north).

Yeah anyway that's my experience on this dating thing here as a foreigner. I can't date foreigners either because of covid and everything being online and foreigners not being allowed in the country.
