> It’s ironic that white guys are worst responders

Ironic means "surprising". When you just got done describing in detail how white males get the best response from all other potential mates, the fact that they respond the least is completely unsurprising.

If a lot of people contact you, then you become more selective.

I don't think guy response rates are all that relevant. Let's face it, if a chick is the one reaching out to you, chances are she is of the lower caliber(a fatty). The good looking girls don't need to reach out, they get thousands of emails a month, they don't need to bother looking for guys.

except that the authors were talking about relative response rates among men of different races.

That would actually be higher caliber.
