    I bagged one this time, yes
    In all seriousness though, the traits I adore all happen to be traits of white men =/ Taller, light eyes, pale skin... They don't necessarily have to be British but it's normally the case because, well, I live here.

    I don't know why you of all people are contending this issue with me when ALL we've seen from you and your avatars/sigs have been whiteboys.
    Just to be clear I'm not talking dating or such nonsense. I'm talking about attraction and sex. Think of it as web of attractions between races. White men are the node with the most connections going into them.

    White guys are always going to be the most popular. Either they're the majority in a place that someone lives, so they're considered the "safest bet", not simply in terms of demeanor but also in looks, or they're considered "exotic" from someone who isn't used to seeing them on a regular basis. Doesn't hurt that they also man the most powerful and influential positions in the world more often than not, and are the most celebrated worldwide, both in terms of celebrity status (Hollywood, ect.), and in non-celebrity accomplishments (athletes, politicians, ect.). No problems with that either way, as there's plenty of lovely ladies what don't mind dipping into the chocolate sauce.

    I remember an article about a year ago that went into great depth studying the males and females of different races and how they were ranked in general beauty vs how they perceived their own beauty.

    A quick google search failed in finding it, but iirc black men were like #3 or 4, above Asians and Middle Eastern?

    Black woman were found to be the least attractive by a significant margin, while also finding themselves the most beautiful.

    Eh, not sure where I was going with this... the reemergence of this topic made me remember that study.

    Moral of the study is obvious. Bitches love confidence. Bros love insecurity.

    I quoted this post on facebook cause I know my friend likes Nignogs, lol he replied

    "This was like the study that said that because black women had the highest testosterone levels of any human female, they automatically are least beautiful. I think that what this article was hinting at is that because the black female may be least likely to be found in any interracial relationship, they are therefore the least desirable of all women...But this is flawed, In ranking beauty/attractiveness the human specimen does not only look at the features put before them, but also the social awareness plays a significant role in who we see as beautiful, so no man or woman is could be truly impartial when it comes to judging another's beauty. That being said social thinking often ranks black life as less desirable, and being a woman especially black can add to this. The point is is that beauty is found not in social implications but in the features, and proportions of a person, and nothing in science says that black women are dis-proportioned. So when it comes to ranking beauty I cant trust what people have to say because when we see a woman lines and proportionate feature are not the only thing we think of."

    Sounds like a variation of the Dunning-Kruger effect also applies to physical attractiveness. Interesting.

    We can see this principle in action when we look at our trusty control, the Zodiac.

    You're being an obtuse little prick.

    If you had bothered to read for just a minute more you would see they use zodiac as a control because IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
    They, in fact, buy using that table, accept as a given, that the zodiac has no bearing on actual compatibility.

    hardly fair they are missing major info, the stats are good but one thing missing is education level (hello!? ) I could care less what race you are but there are reasons why we see this trend(I cant speak for hays but I do fall into this somewhat I would not date a woman who is not in college, on her way to college or already has it behind her)

    1)White woman tend to have more education
    2)Black men/woman tend to have less education
    http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=72

    next is just me; why do black woman think its cool to be fat? That is not a joke; half of the black woman I speak to will be like "love me for who I am". Im not going to love someone who is going to end up dead in 30 years because of diabetes. Drop 50lbs and will talk.

    And lets be fair; the same look does not work for each race; fat white woman = not hot(even a little extra weight can make you look unappealing) Hispanics can get away with a little extra fat. You may think its unfair, not right and downright racist; but the fact is people want someone who is educated and looks good.

    I'm sure there are many reasons for it, one of which is certainly racism.

    1)White woman tend to have more education
    2)Black men/woman tend to have less education

    They ran their own analysis of education level by race and religion (bottom).


    Not going to touch the race one with a ten-foot pole, but the religion one is hardly surprising.

    next is just me; why do black woman think its cool to be fat? That is not a joke; half of the black woman I speak to will be like "love me for who I am". Im not going to love someone who is going to end up dead in 30 years because of diabetes. Drop 50lbs and will talk.

    Being based near South London we have quite a lot black people in the office.

    I noticed black women here come in 3 varieties:

    Fat (and therefore unattractive)
    Plain unattractive (this is personal preference, however)
    Type 3, what I describe as "very well proportioned" (attractive, either dark black skin or light black, but one thing in common for sure is they have a good body/curves)

    Also, from SPAM, somewhat NSFW: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/108...te-black-women

    Somewhere in the middle we started posting pictures of black people we consider attractive. Most of my posts were basically "but not too black", as described here:
