Study reveals that people prefer White men and Asian women in romantic relationships. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Mechanical43;42951997]Because it makes you uncomfortable it doesn't mean it isn't what it is. It's a form of racism.[/QUOTE] Since when does preference for one thing imply dislike for another? I prefer Oreo ice cream over Rocky Road, but that doesn't mean I'll pass up a good bowl of Rocky Road if its got some choice jahoobies and a nice bum.

[QUOTE=Klammyxxl;42951313]maybe it's because asian men outnumber all other men.[/QUOTE] Also the whole tiny penis thing :v:

Is anyone shocked that there is "107" percent total? unless half the people were women and half were men...either means that there might be "other" or the attraction was one sided or there's just more men than women...doesn't explain why the percentages leak though.

[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42951046]Also you totally can change the state of "not being attracted to X race" by consciously rejecting those standards of beauty which have been conditioned into you by society. It totally is something you have control over.[/QUOTE] sorry i like white girls but I don't think that's enough of a social justice nightmare to actively attempt to recondition myself

Doesn't matter what race I am no one will ever like me :(

[QUOTE=Tibbolax;42952986]Doesn't matter what race I am no one will ever like me :([/QUOTE] I like you baby.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42952534]Chivalry is sexism. It's just preferential sexism and polite treatment that is beneficial in most peoples cases. Holding a door open for a woman because she's a woman is at it's heart, a decision about an action based on their perceived gender. that's sexism, no? And no I'm not saying people shouldn't do it, it's polite and friendly.[/QUOTE] Hold doors for all genders, that's what I do.

one time i held a door for a woman and she gave me a mean look like she thought i was trying to assert my male dominance or something i hold the door open for everyone :(

so much bullshit in a single thread. [QUOTE=kobalt;42952605]I don't know about you guys, but I generally hold the door open for anyone. Also physical preference doesn't make you racist. [B]I find black people physically unattractive[/B], it doesn't mean I hate them. It's the same as how I find obese people unattractive.[/QUOTE] you find EVERY black person unattractive, there are millions out there, and seriously manage to dislike the looks of every single one?

[QUOTE=jiggu;42952075]Yeah it's society that tells some people to be white, and others black. [/QUOTE] you're use of sarcasm isn't necessarily inaccurate. i'm going off on a tangent here, but the only scientific basis race has is genetics, after which point, you have to question why the difference between a dominant or recessive allele dictates what your race is. a prime example of this is different animal species. [IMG]http://cdn.attackofthecute.com/September-01-2011-22-25-14-thethreehamigos.jpeg[/IMG] do we consciously classify these pigs by the color of their skin? no, because it doesn't matter. a pig is a pig. but if those pigs were people, it would be a different story. socioeconomics dictate our racial classifications. i have dark skin, but i grew up in a rural suburb in the US. my behavior doesn't fit the model of an african american, so this leads people to classify me as white. there's no scientific basis here, race is definitely on a more social level, at least in the US. i can't speak for Sweden though. i was shortsighted when i shared my opinion earlier, take it as words from an American. i realize the same doesn't necessarily hold true among different locales. it's interesting that you say that your commercials can tend to have black people, like i said, nine times out of ten, they're white here. [QUOTE]So because you fap to white chicks that means everybody else is racist? Nope, the roundest butt wins my eyes.[/QUOTE] you've misquoted me to the point at which i am having trouble answering this one. without getting to personal, i enjoy variety. i said '[B]what society deems 'attractive'[/B]'. this has nothing to do with racism. this has do with our generalized idea of what beauty is; societies opinion of beauty. if i go on xhamster, or what have you, i can guess that a majority of the porn clips on the home page are going to be Caucasians, a larger minority of Asians, and even smaller range of African and Latino. that shows that either a.) most porn produced star Caucasian actors/actresses, or b.) most porn uploaded to streaming sites star Caucasian actors/actresses. Either way, a majority of what you see, not necessarily what you fap to, are Caucasians. but i digress, i'm in way over my head making sense of why this is, i'm really more interested in what others have to say about it.

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42953004]Hold doors for all genders, that's what I do.[/QUOTE] I only hold the door open if the person is close enough behind me that they would have to catch it.

[QUOTE=Wizards Court;42953069]so much bullshit in a single thread. you find EVERY black person unattractive, there are millions out there, and seriously manage to dislike the looks of every single one?[/QUOTE] I tend to prefer lighter ones myself. I dunno, something about dark women and I feel like the jury's in on this one: Dark black is an acquired taste.

Study confirmed. I'm white and I got dat yellow fever. I also grew up in Hawaii though. Nature or nurture?

i like asian men so take THAT sociology

[QUOTE=deathstarboot;42953467]Study confirmed. I'm white and I got dat yellow fever. I also grew up in Hawaii though. Nature or nurture?[/QUOTE] I don't know what you'd call Polynesian women, but I've seen some [I]bad[/I]ass ones on occasion. God [I]damn[/I].

I do my part in battling the fetishization of other races as "exotic" by only being into white people. I'm really quite the progressive.

This data reaffirms my place close to the mean value. Thank you science.

Is there any group that actually prefers Asian men? That's really depressing if most studies thus far seem to say the same thing: this one doesn't even plot them. I have a huge thing for redheads though.

i kinda like when the women are dominant :c kill me

[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42951046]Who you are attracted to is a product of social conditioning though; the media (commercials, movies, tv shows, etc) generally uphold specific standards of beauty and these standards of beauty can be pretty goddamn racist. Also you totally can change the state of "not being attracted to X race" by consciously rejecting those standards of beauty which have been conditioned into you by society. It totally is something you have control over. I mean FP generally seems willing to buy that being attracted to Anorexic models is not a good thing, this is the same as that...[/QUOTE] actually, psychologically your preference comes from people who remind you of your parents and yourself. and those people are usually the same race as you. [editline]23rd November 2013[/editline] anyway this study's from a fucking dating app on Facebook which no one's even heard of so I'm guessing it has a lot more to do with physical attraction than "romantic relationships"

Another one of these threads. Look. It can be both preference based on how people from a certain race tend to look AND cultural perceptions saying that how those people look and act are considered more attractive. There is an element of socialized internal racism AND just plain biological attraction at work here. I am sure a lot of us are more attracted to Asians for the biological reason more than cultural perceptions but if you take a look at some other forums or dating websites, there are people with true 'Yellow Fever' who only want a submissive waifu.

it's also kind of weird how it's measuring the response rate, but not the people sending the message in the first place. Would probably be around the same but still, not sure why they'd choose to do it that way

Asian men prefers Latino women? I've never heard of that one before, and I'm Asian.

[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42950965]You mean studies show that shit is still super racist? I'm taken aback.[/QUOTE] taken ablack*

asian women are the bomb

Well I am attracted to races and species that don't even exist so what the fucking ever

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;42951298]I'm not a white man nor an asian woman. I'm a hairy Iranian man. Fuck.[/QUOTE] Iranians are caucasian, therefore you're white.

As a mixed European-Asian I hope to find another mixed women of a different mixed heritage so I can have the most diverse exotic baby. Seeing who the baby takes their looks from will be interesting.
