Why are black features considered masculine?

Question

As a white woman I don't get why so many consider black features manly. The reason I was attracted to fiance was because he looked sweet and innocent, but he was also sexy to me. However his facial features were more childlike, but his body was a different story

I notice on here and everywhere people say black women's face are too masculine and white and Asian women have more feminine faces, yet that doesn't seem to be true. When you list out their facial features I can't help but notice that black women actually have more feminine facial features and bodies than both.

 West African features are the very feminine... wider button noses, positive tilted eyes, full lips, round faces, shallow brow ridges, short faces, little to no body hair... only east Asian women are on par in neoteny... however the black woman has a feminine body to go with it. Estrogenic fat placement, higher estrogen levels and also also longer legs proportionate to their bodies.

Black women's features are very womanly. Asian woman are more childlike in their faces and body shape. Straight up and down. Not womanly. 

I feel like I'm downing myself saying this but it's actually white women who facial features are more masculine. Higher brow ridge, longer torso, more body hair, more angular features, thin lips, the list goes on.

Also it's proven that black men and women make more estrogen than other races and have equal levels of testosterone as whites.   

So what's the deal? 

I think the reason it may be is because black men are masculinized because of their larger penis and athletic ability and so the world holds black women at the same standard. But the opposite is true for black women. They have on average smaller vagina's (saw this on GAG)   

On average black people are shorter and weaker than whites as well. 
So what's masculine about black women?

Not sure its good to even admit this because i dont want guys to get insecure but the myth is somewhat true. Iv been with a good amount of black guys and they are slightly bigger. Black guys dont have big dicks but they are slightly bigger, nothing that would make that much of a difference. From what i understand black guys are a little bigger because they have more testosterone because reasons that i dont want to go into but you probably can guess.

But relating to the topic that's something that also messes with me. We all like to say stuff like blacks are masculinized, athletic and strong but again we can't acknowledge that whites may be smarter, more sociable and more calm. If blacks are athletic, couldn't positives about whitest also be true? And i'm not racist but it messes with me because i can't deny the logic, if someone claims blacks are stronger and more aggressive but also claims they aren't as smart as Asians or Whites what does that mean?

That stuff messes with me and i feel so bad.

i dont think its necessarily features like eyes and nose and face shape and so on, that make darker people (not just black people, and not just women) look more masculine. it is the color of their features. a white woman with blue eyes and light hair just looks more gentle and feminine because most people associate light colors with something pure (such as the stereotypical definition of feminine). while a woman with dark skin, brown eyes, and black hair looks more mysterious, tough, and like she has a dark side, because most people associate dark colors with something, well dark. and it goes the same for men. a blond haired blue eyed guy just appears more innocent than a black haired brown eyed guy for the same reasons. but its not always all about features either, a black woman can be just as feminine, if not more feminine, then a white woman. but it also depends on how she carries herself.

In western society, small and dainty is often considered to be more feminine. Black woman have larger features on average. No woman's body is "straight up and down", though it is true blacks on average are the most curvy, there is a threshold to what degree curves are considered attractive.

The comment about blacks being shorter and weaker is just simply not true. Everyone knows they are the most muscular and athletic race. Look at the NBA, the NFL, and the Olympics.

Are they? Because in online dating and popular celebrity magazines or male models they usually are showing attractive White guys. Some Black guys sure but overall more White guys by far, with their features being found attractive by women of all races as online dating studies show with more responding to White men.

Another interesting fact is many males of all races responded to Asian women. As far as Black women being tighter I've never heard that before, I've heard it about Asian women.

Then you said more estrogen which is true, if White males have less estrogen and are physically a little taller/bigger on average than Black guys White guys would obviously have the same size penis or a little larger than Black. Thats logic.

My question is why do White girls like you dating Black guys make these topics? Are you trying to justify in your own mind why you date Black guys to everyone else when half your reasons aren't even true? That sounds like what you are doing and its sad.

Stereotypes and myths, most likely like the whole big penis thing.

I've personally never viewed them as more or less masculine then any other race on earth, when I worked in a gym for about 3 years I saw like 50-100 of them per week and let me tell you they come in all shapes and sizes, personalities just like any other race, some were great guys, some were dicks, douches and horrible people, others were just normal.

They're bone structure isn't really masculine either, more softer and rounder actually and not rigid or chiseled.

The only thing that I guess people think makes them masculine is that the fact that a lot of them drink or smoke and have tattoos at least most if not all of the ones I've met had all of these or were tattooed.

Their attitudes and persona. It's the " I don't need a man" attitude that drives a lot of black men away.

Its stems from the view that low intelligence is a masculine trait the majority of men don't find black women attractive but is it all black women? No absolutely not Ethiopian Caucasoid women are more intelligent than the Negroid/Congoid,/West African type and they have always been considered civilised and all studies also shows that. The West African type carry 20% of their DNA from an unknown specie not found in other humans. The IQ among these people are incredible low like 50 -77 range and come on how are West African phonotypes anything close to beautiful. Their hair fiber only gives you one hairstyle option and that's dreads in Whites we can both have dreads and chose hairstyles in multiple ways. When it comes to Eye colour well then you're stuck with black eyes while among Whites you have multiple different eye colors Hazel, Yellow, Blue, Green, Grey sometimes even two colors fading eachother and hair color when it comes to hair color the West Afro don't seems to offer more than black whereas Among whites you have Blonde, Black, Brown, Red, and Yellow (rare but exist) and if you're a true white person and not the albino descended red skin type then you can choose between white or get tanned. In fact a black beard look so much more dominant to a white person than to a dark person and tattoos are also more visible and look better on white skin. you're saying Black men have larger dick on average but that's not the reality among Nigerians the average is 13,3 and Tanzania was all the way down to 11.5 cm on average

and what do you exactly mean with athletic ability? The Nordics and Balkan Hercegovic have produced the best boxers and strongmen compatetors in history of mankind you litteraly have entire city's in Eastern Europe filled with Hooligans and when they fight they do it one to one and not cowardly afro way with 15 people jumping 1 person. They carry a gene called l-m170 and is a gene responsible for allowing people to grow taller than the average. The Average height in Hercegovina is 1,90 m and are the tallest on this planet.. Why do you women consider low IQ aggressiveness as a masculine thing and the humble high IQ type who is a leader type as a feminine thing and you also sleep around and mess up your hormones on p-pills..

NFL and NBA disagree with this
From my understanding Whites/Asians are more analytical and aggressive.
The darker races are physically/spiritually superior

I think they mean how there often times you can't tell a black woman is female because of the masculine features some have, I have been confused several times with some but most times not. Could be if you are not the same race than its always harder to tell people apart just like some people say about Chinese people looking all the same
