Sorry, I forgot to say these are results on who people responded to the most on dating apps

[Babygirl_S]

White men are exotic and sexy for most women from Asian countries. It is rare to find a man with pale skin, light eyes, light hair (including light facial hair) and many white guys (at least the ones I have seen) are also much taller with longer faces. They just seem so masculine. A girl has to be racist to resist that. We are attracted to something we don't usually see but I feel that nowadays people have made it almost illegal to like white men 💁‍♀️

[livingnightmare]

and whites are the most racist so why not be racist to them?

[Babygirl_S]

I think you're drunk.

[Anonymous]

Black women are continuously pictured as the most disgusting women. Its disgusting the racism we endure. Thanks to colonialism and eurocentric beauty standards that can’t see beyond. We are queens period.

[Yyyyu]

Why Asian women do better than white white lol if it is Eurocentric

[Babygirl_S]

Because many white men have a fetish for Chinese faces.

[Opinion Owner]

@Yyyyu someone else replied to ur question and she is right the beauty standards are definitely eurocentric but Asian women are seen as a fetish which is equally disgusting

[grega239]

Maybe its due to their behavior. Why is it always someone elses fault?

[Babygirl_S]

@grega239 It's a fact that I have NEVER come across an aggressive black woman whether online or irl. I have only seen cases of people being racist to them and then you can't really expect a woman to stay quiet. I have come across many other ethnicities who are quick to start a fight and yet they're stereotyped as the calm ones.

[Honesttguy]

@Babygirl_S Most black women i encountered were in fact aggressive masculine types. IRL and online. I was open minded to them until met them IRL and they changed my mind.

[Babygirl_S]

@Honesttguy I am yet to see one. I have seen east Asian looking ones who were causing a scene with someone plenty of times. Even the ones who work in the malls or restaurants here are so hostile and jealous types. I love to get inspired by good behaviour but they're honestly not calm.

[007kingifrit]

lmao no. its that you blame all your problems on some kind of "ism" that you do no self improvement

yea, colonialism is TOTALLY at fault for all your problems including your unattractive personalities and appearances... nevermind that every group in history has been colonized at one point or another (yes even whites)

hell Asians were far more colonized than you and you don't see them blaming all their shit on colonialism. they earn more money than whites

[InferiorElegy]

As someone is also black I can say I've never met a black woman I've wanted to ask out because, their overbearing, ghetto ass personalities ruin it, they could be hella beautiful but when they start to act like ghetto ass "bwords" and say shit like they're psycho and you can't handle them or any other of their iconic ghetto phrases, it's like do you want to be with someone like that? Nah.

As for the Asian fetish, I don't agree with it completely, sure there's guys who go to Asian countries just to have sex with Asian women but not a majority of men do that, for the majority it comes down to attraction but here's the kicker, because Asian was chosen by the majority people are going to call it a fetish because their races weren't chosen, if black women were chosenothers would call it jungle fever, and if white women were chosen then it would be called racism. The fact that guys are attracted to a certain race over another has nothing to do with those things but females love to label shit and have to have something to bicker about. You think my grandma had yellow fever when she married my grandpa? Do think my other grandpa had jungle fever when he married my other grandma?

[Babygirl_S]

You guys are sick.. "jungle fever". Are you serious? I am basically attracted to only EUROPEAN GUYS PRIMARILY British because most Americans sound exactly like you two.

[Babygirl_S]

I'll change my opinions the day some British guy is so retarded but it hasn't happened so far and I have interacted with them irl.

[Babygirl_S]

And the fact that most British men don't have so much of this fetish is also a plus.

[InferiorElegy]

@Babygirl_S so are you saying you have a eurofetish?

[Babygirl_S]

I am also attracted to handsome Indian men and black men. I just don't like you.

[Babygirl_S]

The problem with Asian fetishists like you is you don't like other women. You even insult your own women for them.

[InferiorElegy]

@Babygirl_S Thats funny I'm not an Asian fetishist, I used to find all females of different ethnic backgrounds attractive, I also didn't insult black women I just stated the types of black women I have dealt with my entire life. Your just trying to play the victim and honestly I'm tired of people playing the victim card.

[InferiorElegy]

Especially when they aren't actually victims.

[Opinion Owner]

@grega239 their behaviour? Why are you generalizing? Lmao kinda embarrassing to generalize an entire population.

[Opinion Owner]

And i hope y’all move past black women are “aggressive and masculine” cause we are not ☺️ and this has nothing to do with fitting to ur likings we are women and that’s that 🤡

[InferiorElegy]

No one's asking you to fit to someone else's preferences were just saying quit making excuses, and pointing blame because guys find others to their preferences.

[Opinion Owner]

@InferiorElegy lmao the audacity u have to think we care what u like? to each their own opinion but you cannot generalize us or make assumptions and u definitely can not call us aggress or masculine time to get an education

[Opinion Owner]

@InferiorElegy oh and not u saying Asians were colonized more than Africans cause their colonialism was not by white man🤡 they do face racism and to this day but they were not held as slaves nor were they faced by the ugly white men in the same terms as black people did

[Babygirl_S]

He has the audacity to think black women are wild animals and not humans hence the term "Jungle fetish". I can clearly see how African Americans are treated by Asian fetishists. It is one of the key traits of an Asian fetishist that he insults all other women.

[Opinion Owner]

@Babygirl_S facts so disgusting tbh i wish if they could be a little more human and knowledgeable

[Babygirl_S]

I am pretty sure the other stereotypes about Asian fetishists also apply to him for example he must be very unattractive to look at (his behaviour is already disgusting as I can judge from this conversation).

[Opinion Owner]

@Babygirl_S 😂😂😂😂i totally agree their is always a pattern

[InferiorElegy]

Hahaha when did I say anything about colonization? When, point it to me because I didn't say anything of the sort so before you say someone said shit figure out who it was first. Also I didn't generalize anyone I did say from my experience which you seem to love to ignore when you read because you look for things that make you the victim also I am also black and I've heard the term jungle fever my entire life and even heard other black folks use it. It is amazing how you cry about someone generalizing you but you are doing it to others this clearly proves your personality is probably shit. You're saying I'm an Asian fetishist which I have said I am not and you're generalizing all Asian fetishists as ugly and whatever else yet if I generalize you it's the worst thing ever huh? Interesting , even though I didn't and you both are and I'm still the one with the shit personality? Ok there. Keep on with your backwards logic.

[Opinion Owner]

@InferiorElegy i never even mentioned jungle fever it was the other commentor, u got confused lol and i am not victim honey u try to make it look like we are all aggressive or masculine we are not even if that’s ur experience, it does not define black women and if men do not like us its their preference who’s crying? If anything hallelujah but u can’t be talking shit about us then saying u act like victims💀💀

[InferiorElegy]

So this comment wasn't directed at me saying something I didn't say?

"@InferiorElegy oh and not u saying Asians were colonized more than Africans cause their colonialism was not by white man🤡 they do face racism and to this day but they were not held as slaves nor were they faced by the ugly white men in the same terms as black people did"
It's crying when you call guys Asian fetishists because they might like an Asian girl more that a black or even a white girl, switch the genders around and it would just be called a preference but because it's guys it's called an Asian fetish.
Also you're right I am ugly, I know I am, I've been told so my entire life, I'm not looking for pity, I don't want it. I know this but I also know it's only my face that's ugly, I know my personality isn't but if you want to believe that my personality is shit, I'm not going to try and change your mind, it's not something I need to do, I am ok being hated even if I know why I'm not a bad person.

[Babygirl_S]

Asian fetishism means you don't like the individual but all of them collectively. It exists. I can see 😂

[Opinion Owner]

@InferiorElegy ok so u are good at copying and pasting now where did i mention jungle fever lol?

[InferiorElegy]

Didn't say you did mention jungle fever, I said you were saying I said stuff that I never did say. I'm done arguing and being attacked and ganged up on, I wish I knew your username so I could avoid commenting on your posts like I will be doing with babygirl_s, I'd hate to have an opinion that gets me attacked again, although it would just be easier just never commenting on any females post just to make sure. Anyways you guys can continue to call me ugly, Asian fetishist a loser, or whatever you want, I'm just not coming back to read anymore attacks on me.

[Opinion Owner]

@InferiorElegy well u took that a little too personally, you won’t be missed anyway i’ll avoid u don’t worry

[SteveSmith1985]

I dispute that such preferences exist. I question the source of this graphic. I highly doubt that this study is in anyway consensus among... anyone. My guess is that it's based on a tiny sample size, or a non-representative population.

Nothing personal. But I call bullshit.

[Jersey2]

I believe this is from OK Cupid.

[SteveSmith1985]

@Jersey2 Exactly. That sorta thing is something that needs to be taken with a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge grain of salt. The sample is totally unrepresentative of the population (not to mention the self-selection bias WITHIN the segment of the population who happen to use that particular dating site.)

I appreciate the reply, and I'm not... like... trying to be a jerk. Just a dude frustrated by the amount of misinformation floating around these days. 🙂

[SteveSmith1985]

Just realized your 'reply' wasn't from the original poster. Woops

[GoldenCage]

Many factors depending where you live. Colonization can have an impact. Also, there was a time where almost every famous person on Hollywood was Caucasian. Sometimes it is the way you are exposed to how men in your community treat women so you'd rather date outside your race. And in many cases it is just cultural influence on how typically with certain traditions men would treat women. If you don't like that than you'd find traits you like in other cultures and would think of it as attractive. Also surprisingly certain hobbies and interests are popular within certain cultures so if you're different you'll be more likely drawn to other cultures and ethnicities.

Having said that.. the graph you attached is very subjective. What you believe is Asian for example is different in America, Europe and Asia. Many 'white' people are not Europeans or Americans or Canadians. I Think if I choose I like Asians I'm might be thinking Korean or Japanese. But Indians and Bhutanese and many Arabs or Persians are Asian too. And some would only refer to Asians as Chinese. Because the boundaries between ethnicity, race, culture and nationality as not universal and standardized believe it or not.

[Spookydood]

I can see by other commenters math isn't everyone's strong suit, and that's okay. Let me help.

Nowhere does this say the majority of x race only likes y race. It's a comparison of highest to lowest percentages to who applied interest to what race. I'd bet this wasn't even a single answer question.

If i were single and using dating apps I'd absolutely see if the math follows up. Try and message the lower represented women and see how many get back and how many you get a date with, then after a couple weeks of that try the more popularly reported ones are. Try messaging the ones most interested in your race and see how that plays out. Then the ones least interested. Then finally figure up the numbers.

[Phoenix98]

The only thing I can think of regarding Asian women and white guys is that paler and lighter features like skin colour is seen as a beauty trait in Asian countries like Japan and China.

White guys are also taller have more muscle or at least workout more and look better in even simple clothes like jeans and a white t-shirt. Typically mor chiseled featured more masculine looking.

Least that’s what the women from those countries said in a video I came across years ago said.

I’m sure a lot of the tourists in those countries being white also plays a part in it. As they’d be the race they probably have most contact and interaction with outside other Asians.

[blended_ninja]

Latin and Asian women are typically more respectful, caring, and understanding compared to white and especially black women. They take care of themselves and have better family values. Also, they're more attractive overall. My best relationships have always been with Latinas. However, my worst relationships have always been with black women (literally every single one of them ended being absolute nightmares). That's just my opinion though; I've met a few guys who have excellent relationships with black women, but they're few and far in between.

[Avicenna]

Well, first of all, I think we'd need to ask if dating preferences among those dating online are similar to those who prefer to meet people IRL. And a number of people on these dating sites are married or in a non-marital relationship but are looking to cheat.

[Anonymous]

That was a chart from one time, it's like if we make a poll on g@g and act like it's permanent.
You'll notice that even on like hair color polls, sometimes brunettes win and sometimes it's blondes and sometimes redheads get the most votes. It dependsBut I can say in general it seems right about black people, and that's not my opinion on them but what I observed from most people.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

A bit surprised. I simply don't see how people are attracted to Asian women specifically ones from China, Korea, Japan.

South Asian women are definitely gorgeous though.

And not surprisingly black men rate the highest turning their black on their own black women that carried them for 9 months and brought them into this earth. What a bunch of losers.

[Yyyyu]

Because they are cute and skinny

[alpha_aude]

Funny for an Hispanic to write this kind of thing knowing loads of them are mixed from interracial relationship. But ok.

[007kingifrit]

well black women are ugly so that one is easy. their hair is too frizzy and their features too broad. black men are trashy too so women don't have any shame in that there.

Asian for latino is the only weird one

[alpha_aude]

The only weirdo here is you. You should forget about your clichés and take off your head out your ass.

[007kingifrit]

@alpha_aude nothing i said is untrue, its scientific fact that people are less attracted to black woman than anything else

[alpha_aude]

Yes, it’s always easier to randomly quote science to justify BS.

[007kingifrit]

@alpha_aude you dispute the claim that black women are the least approached of all racial groups?

[alpha_aude]

I’m disputing you writing all black women are ugly, just say they are not to your liking but englobing them all and using science to justify you is clearly BS to me.

[alpha_aude]

And you even have the audacity to write their hair are too frizzy? I’m amazed we’re the same age.

[007kingifrit]

you obviously put feelings over facts so you are less mature then me. its a scientific fact men find black women to be the least attractive. i don't need to just speak on an individual level

[alpha_aude]

Ok, not sure where you're seeing feelings? If you were more mature than me you would have said because of society/ media, men have an image of the perfect woman and she's more caucasian like than black, latina, Asian... but i guess it's easier to generalize

[007kingifrit]

@alpha_aude where am i seeing feelings? HAHA OH HONEY every post you made was 100% feelings. emotions all the way through

no. its not media, its not society. across all civilizations the standards of beauty are very very similar. they line up across cultural lines. that's an excuse they tell you in college

[alpha_aude]

Lmao ok kingi.

[007kingifrit]

@alpha_aude you're so emotional

[alpha_aude]

Still better than being a primitive ignorant 🤷‍♀️

[007kingifrit]

@alpha_aude children call others ignorant when they can't handle the truth. you dislike my facts... but they are facts

[alpha_aude]

The way you share your opinion is very childlike too. Calling a whole community ugly/trashy and saying that mixed couples are weird is mature to you? A man can admit when he’s wrong but I guess you’re not.

[Pumpkinspice009]

White men are just so sexy, at least I find white men to be the hottest

[Exterminatore]

We are pretty hot. You’re welcome.

[Honesttguy]

Qhat if we overlay that with IQ levels? Cus intelligence also playes part in attraction.

[livingnightmare]

if thats true then why i see so many white girls with black guys? lol i think its true about bIack girls cuz i dont find most of them attractive unless she's light skin and thick

[Ailito]

Im Latino and no matter my gender Id always prefer an Asian. Just saying.

[Honesttguy]

Why? What stands out to you?

[Ailito]

They are inherently cuter.
I love their aesthetic.

[Hangry06]

It's hard to explain those without coming off as racist. Reddit gives the bare truth

[sassieequeen_]

Asian girls are obsessed with white men tho as one of the Asian girls i really dont know why lol

[Anonymous]

I feel like people just bring this up to get a power kick like “well I maybe be ugly but at least I’m not a black girl lol”- like that.

[DamnSam]

Well yes, but they are way more complicated than this...

[MountAverage]

Some have to do with culture, some simply with racist prejudices.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

All humans are the same race.

[alpha_aude]

Young and wise 🙏

[Dinosaursandanime65]

@alpha_aude that’s just what makes sense. How are different types of humans races while humans as a whole are also races? That’s like saying all sea animals are fish. Thanks for the compliment though

[FilmGuy93]

I kinda don't actually believe those memes.
