Why do people read interracial statistics wrong?

[Pescatarian]

Asian women are not the most desirable it's actually middle eastern women, they just don't like white men so it's not mentioned , black men are the least attractive race of men physically not Asian men and white women are the second least attractive, white men were only attractive to Asians and Latinas, black women like pacific Islanders and prefered every other race over white men and black men , which also isn't mentioned for the same reason as middle eastern women's stats. ( middle eastern women responded to white men at 28% and white men responded to them at 47%, hurt ego? )

Black men are the only demographic of black people in the black community that are attracted to white men ( black men responded to white men at a rate of 54% and black women responded at a rate of 5.3% and seem to prefer pacific Islanders more than whites or blacks)

Middle Eastern men were more attractive than white men in the gay community and black men were the least, they also didn't like themselves much at all so even black men don't like themselves and apparently had a harder time.

Black women also replied less to white men than vice versa

Why don't people get the stats right?

Black women prefered pacific Islanders over black men and received more attention from pacific Islanders, and native Americans for some reason, why don't they date more? They're physically more attractive than black men on average and have a higher IQ so, it's a pretty good improvement

This is by far the least useful information you will ever need in your life


Racial statistics are bullshit
Always biased
Always racist


Ask another group of people and the answers will change every time


Because preferences are personal not racial


People don’t select their shared preferences based on their shared race


Otherwise the world would be a very peaceful place where everyone knew where they stood


It’s not

[Pescatarian]

It's just a fact

[Zack-Bann]

No it isn’t

It’s just a number put in place by someone who asked a question and wrote down the answer

Humans needing oxygen to breath is a fact
Someone telling me who I’m attracted to based on my and their race is just a racist generalization that holds no water

[Pescatarian]

I honestly can't speak for whatever race you are, but I can speak for 99.9% of mine and it's fairly accurate, for us at least

[Zack-Bann]

Pretty sure we’ve had this talk before
And I have no time or energy to do it again

And no
You don’t speak for 99.9% of your race
No one does
You only speak for yourself

(And you’re actually prettier than I pictured you which is a little disturbing ngl)

[Pescatarian]

I don't know buddy, when you have ties with the north Korea of Africa, you do speak for 99.9 % because they don't want to risk anything for a different species

[Zack-Bann]

So you don’t agree that humans are individuals with unique tastes and preferences?

Do you believe that if someone had preferences that go against these numbers that person is lying or some kind of a freak?

[Pescatarian]

I agree a very small minority deviate from the norm but when you grow up in a society like mine, you'll understand that it's not what you want at all

[Pescatarian]

What's your ethnicity by the way

[Zack-Bann]

I’m a phoenician
Not on your list apparently ;)

[Pescatarian]

Isn't that middle eastern?

[Zack-Bann]

Yes it is
But “Middle Eastern” is not an ethnicity
Have semites, kannanites, bedwin arabs, persians, turks, the list goes on and on

And then you have branches between them
So a phoenician is a semite , but not a bedwin so not an arab

that’s why I say race is a pointless metric to use when you wanna gauge preferences

[Pescatarian]

Where are you from

[Zack-Bann]

I don’t like sharing that here
But I’ve already given it away in my ethnicity answer

[Pescatarian]

It would be cool if you were Israeli tbh

[Zack-Bann]

I am not
Not even one bit

[Pescatarian]

Can you give me some hints?

[Zack-Bann]

I’m from the oldest continuously habited city in the whole world

[Pescatarian]

Aah, I actually guessed that country, interesting, I genuinely thought you were white tbh

[Zack-Bann]

I’m not sure that’s a compliment or an insult

But I’m glad I’m not the only one surprised by you 😏

[Pescatarian]

Depends, tell me more about yourself and your ethnic group, do you have tribes there?

Surprised by me? How so?

[Zack-Bann]

There are no tribes
My “ethnic group” is too complex to talk about in a quick message

And with your obsession with race I always assumed you were unattractive and hiding behind behind race as an excuse to justify your own dating life

But you’re actually very pretty (assuming that’s you in the picture)
You don’t even need to care about racial preferences to have success in life

That’s what ugly peoples have to worry about

[Pescatarian]

Oh ok, that's a shame, I'm very interested in the Arab colonialism of the middle east.

Oh, no I'm just racist tbh, I might also need to work on my possessiveness towards the women of my race.

They can just date other ugly people tbh.

[Pescatarian]

Thanks for the compliment, I'm not good at receiving them, in my culture we're very cold and we don't really do that, sorry if it comes off as rude

[Zack-Bann]

It did come off as rude before

But I’m starting to see your point of view a little differently

Which culture are you from?
Because you not being good at taking compliments is a crime against humanity itself 🙃

[Pescatarian]

Apologies 🙏🏽.

Really? What changed? 😂

Lozi, we're literally the most isolated tribe in southern africa, because of this we can be quite xenophobic and small minded, other tribes refer to us as the jews of Africa because we always stick to ourselves and we're always separatists, being in the middle of the Angolan, namibian and south African war during apartheid can create an already isolated group to isolate more tbf

[Zack-Bann]

That’s absolutely fascinating.
I had no idea

And I don’t wanna make you more uncomfortable but I am curious about something:
Is everyone in your tribe as beautiful as you are or do you count as a rare entity?

[Pescatarian]

Thank you, I'd say we're average like most other groups tbh, everyone hates us so no one says anything about us being attractive and we don't participate in the mainstream society tbh, there's only one defector I know in America and she won a pageant there, I forgot her name but I have her pictures if you want

[Zack-Bann]

You call her a “defector” but you speak perfect English yourself
Are you not supposed to travel anywhere?

Because I’m not saying this to be nice: you could win any pageant in just about any country in the world

[Pescatarian]

We speak English although rarely, she's a defector because she married outside the group.

Thank you 🙏🏽. Please tell me more about your culture, I'm genuinely interested, because of the history my country has with the middle east and you actually seem cool to chat to, despite my prejudices

[BadApple69]

Statistics can and are manipulated. Did these stats come from 1 dating site? Was it 100 people surveyed? 1,000? 10,000?
I was never surveyed…. I’ve dated a Jamaican girl, white girls, Asian girls…. If I pushed for it could have married any of them. Am I a statistical outlier or statistical fact. Oh and I never dated a middle eastern girls.
Maybe it’s not that we all get the statistics wrong maybe we don’t believe them or just don’t care.

[Pescatarian]

You're either an outlier or a plain liar, it surveyed 24 million people from one app

[Pescatarian]

It would be pretty weird if you dated a middle eastern woman, they don't like white men, they're Asian but not like that, if you catch my drift

[BadApple69]

I have no reason to lie to you…. And who I have dated is exactly what I told you.
24 million people is a big sample size BUT all from one site. To me the one site is the problem with the data AND we don’t know how the questions to get that data was framed. Another key factor. As for the site…. As an extreme example if it was a gay dating site (but we are not told that) the conclusion could be that 85% of men don’t like dating women.
People who do these statistical studies are normally looking for a particular outcome. Don’t believe everything you read.

[Pescatarian]

Yes but the government posted stats on interracial marriages and they follow similar trends to the post above

[FreyaRed]

This stats destroys blacks people but white females don't look good either because "female sender" state they are barely above black women.
However I personally don't care as white female because mater of appearance is very individual. It's not different when you're rich in a country that is number 50 in GDP per capita list, those stats even if true have value of an anecdote.

[Anonymous]

What you wrote isn’t the same in every country and definitely not the same for each and every individual.

[Pescatarian]

It's certainly the same for certain groups though, eg. A white men will never be attractive to a middle eastern or black woman, it's biological

[Opinion Owner]

No it isn’t. There are plenty of white men and black men who are married and have kids together. Also with middle eastern women many of them are Muslim and I believe Islam says muslim women cannot marry a non-Muslim man. Many white men are not Muslim.
You can’t speak for everyone. Preferences vary. What you think is attractive or unattractive another person might have a totally different opinion.

[Opinion Owner]

Also to the poster of this question. There is probably many white or Asian men out there who don’t find you attractive or good looking either. Opinions about looks can vary.

[Opinion Owner]

You saying you speak for 99.9% is pseudo. You haven’t spoken, seen or met most people on the planet.

[Opinion Owner]

I live in the USA. Interracial dating and relationships is not uncommon at all. Mixed race people are quite common in the USA.

[Pescatarian]

Actually majority of the middle easterners are Christian, white men are just ugly so they don't like them, simple. I speak for 99.9 % of my people, no one else, we're not the same species. Not true, in Asia white is attractive, in Africa it's disgusting, we can have objective standards in every culture.

[Pescatarian]

That's disgusting, but I'm sure it's just white, Asian, Hispanic and black men, so it's not that important

[Pescatarian]

I'm lesbian, so... I don't really care and straight black women don't either, I gave stats

[Opinion Owner]

There are billions of people in the world. I’m sure there is people out there who think you are ugly or nothing special to look at.

[Pescatarian]

I don't really care, I don't know why you're so focused on my appearance either tbh

[Jackblue]

What are you talking about black women responded more to white men than any race except Pacific Islanders, only pacific island men are more popular in as many categories of women as white men and by raw statistics white men still have higher percentages. Furthermore, these statistics aren't about men's preferences so why are you mentioning white women. Is everyone seeing something I am not?

[Jackblue]

Furthermore white men were only below natives and Pacific Islanders for middle eastern women. Seriously, you're entitled to not wanting to date white men, but that doesn't mean you need to insult us or lie about us.

[Pescatarian]

No they responded more to pacific Islanders, Middle Eastern and then white men. I'm just speaking about the facts. I don't know what you're seeing tbh

[Pescatarian]

White men are technically middle eastern women's 4th choice going by the stats

[Jackblue]

They responded to pacific islanders 39% of the time, Middle Easterners 37% of the time and white males 38% of the time. Thus white men were middle easternern women's second choice after pacific islanders.

[Pescatarian]

I think you're referring to black women here, I heard in America you classify half castes as black so that might be a reason for why white men are responded to, otherwise full black women like pacific Islanders, Middle Eastern and native American men, Asian men, Latin American men, Jewish men and then white men, just by looking at who they responded to the least, you were 4th choice for middle eastern women

[Jackblue]

Show me the statistics, the ones you showed up there show that in the US, white males are the most desired.

[Pescatarian]

Not by the most desired women though, that was middle eastern women and they don't like you

[Sevenpointfive]

i've never in my life heard of a black woman finding a pacific islander man attractive.

[Pescatarian]

They apparently do, more than black and white men, they also liked middle easterners second, it's interesting but I can see why

[Quigly]

Why do people read inter-Racial Statistics?

The Government doesn't really provide Inter-racial Data and most things you find on the internet are just falsified.

[Pescatarian]

The government literally gives stats on interracial marriages

[AngryCarl2]

Seems legit.

[Ariesman81]

If I'm reading this right, as a white guy, it's almost impossible for you not to respond?

[Pescatarian]

Your only options are Asians and Latinas tbh, everyone else doesn't like you biologically, I'll do more research on it though

[Ariesman81]

Well that's fucked up. What if I want someone responsible?

[Pescatarian]

Your only options are the beaners and ladyboys, beggers can't be choosers I guess

[Ariesman81]

But I like chicken

[Pescatarian]

Can't relate, I'm pescatarian, but I'm pretty sure Asians make fried chicken, as well as Hispanics

[Ariesman81]

Yeah, but they don't season it

[Pescatarian]

Enjoy the natural flavors I guess

[Ariesman81]

No way am I giving up my dream of salt and pepper on my chicken!

[Pescatarian]

I'm sure they sell that in the grocery store...

[Ariesman81]

Yeah, I suppose they do

Why does this matter? People have their own preferences for their own reasons.
