Greetings good people , 

Not every is going to like me or feel comfortable to me . thats normal . but what is not normal is when it is becoming the norm .  
I contact a seller , he r she replies to me and we agree to meet to discuss the deal . But I see how uncomfortable or disappointed  the seller becomes when he or she sees me or sometimes I see fear :(  . even though in some situations I am meeting them at a restaurant and I am the one who invited them and made clear it is my treat .  
you can tell from my picture that I do not resemble the main stream  shape or skin color . 
This business , and If the seller or a lender is having any negative impressions that will effect how the deal goes . 
This issue has effected me widely and created a major safety concern if I want to drive for dollars  and look for properties . 

What should I do to overcome this problem ? 

Your input is highly valuable and appreciated
