Black women less attractive?

[dix]

IMHO, That is totally the wrong approach that the liberal section is trying to propulgate. Same with religion. I believe the correct approach is not to ignore and hide the differences, but to accept them. Like men accept women and women accept men. There is nothing wrong with calling a tall person tall, a black person black, an asian person asian, a white person white. If it is a distinctive feature, it is a distinctive feature. Let the differences become a part of the collective culture rather than trying to homogenize everyone.

Unfortunately humanity is, at best, only at the stage of respecting the similarities between peoples and cultures. There's a long way to go before we reach the stage of respecting, and celebrating, the differences.

(And I say at best because it's a sad fact that most of the world isn't even that far along.)

*shakes my head and sighs*

It's one thing to ask a question like...."what type of female is more attractive to you?" but to ask, "how people feel about the attractiveness of black women in general?" is *sighs again*...is ....well it's wrong. There I said it...so sue me!

I know we are all entitled to our opinions...I get that......well here's mine.......like or not....and yes this subject pisses me off!

When articles like above aren't written; when questions like was asked here aren't asked; when two people are standing side by side, one white one black and you say, "do you like her hair, the one in the red shirt?" instead of saying, "do you like the black lady's hair?"; when we stop looking at the color of the skin and identifying a person by it, THEN and only THEN will racism end!!!! THEN AND only THEN will the race wars stop.
Obviously it's not stopping with our generation and because the adults won't grow the hell up and see the person for the person that they are, and not for what color is the outer layer, they are teaching their children there is a difference between one and the other......our only hope is that our children's children will have enough sense to not see the color of the skin, but the color of the soul instead.

I apologize if I offended anyone.....and anyone that knows me, knows I'm pretty soft spoken.....but this subject......dear God when will people stop looking at the color of someones skin!!!!!!

Agreed. I'm not condoning racism, but this hypersensitivity to "color" is such an overreaction. Just because someone mentions race as a distinguishing feature does NOT mean they are being racist.

In my not so humble opinion, people are far too sensitive toward racism and any other group labeling for that matter. It's perfectly natural to consider humans based on groups/categories, and it's hard to find something more obvious than race.

Racism means applying different WORTH to someone based on their race. That's far from what's being discussed here.

Acknowledging the fact that someone belongs to any particular race, nor discussing factual differences related to race, does not constitute racism in any way. Not until you take the next step: Translating those differences into difference of worth.

And ironically, understanding that difference is utmost important - since alienating any discussion about races and the differences there may or may not be related to race is facilitating racism all on its own. Making a topic taboo is never a good idea. Period.



Now, to answer the OP, I generally find white girls more attractive. I really don't know why, taste is a mystery not based on conscious decision making, but one can always speculate I guess.

My only experience with black girls naked is from porn. And based on that, in much the same way as black guys have white guys bang to rights when it comes to penis size, black girls tend too fill out a little more to I believe (again based on a narrow statistical basis from porn only). Derived from that, since I prefer petite girls over BBWs any day of the week, I choose to believe that has something to do with my taste. Only my best guess - I really don't know.

How come when his prior study concluded that men were less attractive than women nobody paid any attention?

Frankly, the statistics are done fairly solidly. If you want to criticize the study, the only real point of consensus I've seen from his detractors is that the people in the study are all adolescents and maybe hence not the best judges of attractiveness.

[ownmind]

Just as a curious observer for those who claim that they find white girls more attractive than black girls or vice versa, what kind of social group are you in currently?
I mean is it primarily caucasian, reasonably mixed etc. Also I'd be curious of the social mix at a younger age (i.e. school going age) as I think a lot of our sexual likes would naturally develop at this age.

In short my point: familiarity breeds liking or words to that effect.

i guess that before commenting a post it would be interesting to analyse it and it is sad that my observation are labeled as purely american just because i compared africans with americans. Well to start i don't live in america and i don't find that americans are espacially beautiful. Then it is obvious that societies were poeple tend to choose they spouses from a big diversity of stranger will having a beautry concept in mind that women will tend to be more beautiful, and if i was saying that about some animal everyone would have agreed but about human it is so not accepteable. I it isn't racism and blacks aren';t the uglist (even this word is negative, and i would say have less beauty average which is accually tending to increase) but woman from societies were men can't see to women and a beautiful woman would be persevedas a whore and those are white people.

And of course i'm considering as beautiful a women with less inperfection and looking less tired, some being fat or skinny, color of skin, breast size are not included in this observation.

last this isn't based on any publication but on a personnal observation of people from different culture, and the base of the theary can from an observation among white societies. As for a statistic about it, well i beleive it would be so complicated because a very wide range of poeple would have to compare a very wide range of women, and they will probably find the last ones ugly out of bordom

one klast thing: the dark skin of blacks might be a turn of for some white guys because they are not used to and equivalent to a lack of hygeine (color wise) for white woman, even thoe it is not true

I've enjoyed this thread but now its starting to lose its appeal. It may have helped if I'd read the link but I was expecting it to turn into a thread full of images of sexy black women. It seems to have changed to a conversation that has no purpose other than to be debated without changing anyone's point of view. The topic has sparked a flame for anyone with raceisimaphobia (Yes i did just invent that word. Its going to be a sub class of social phobia... one day) and since this is a world wide community it's not very likely anyone will be able to make any cross cultural breakthroughs that ends up changing anyone's mind...

What do ya say we just post images of sexy black women? =)

Not a bad suggestion Snot, you should start it : D
