What are your opinions on why these racial dating preferences exist?

[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 💁‍♀️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Honesttguy]

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

[Ailito]

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

[DamnSam]

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

[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

[Pumpkinspice009]

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

[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

[sassieequeen_]

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

[Hangry06]

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

[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.

[MountAverage]

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

[FilmGuy93]

I kinda don't actually believe those memes.

[FictionalCharacter]

Lol, that is true.
