Love And Romance: Is One Race More Attractive Than Another?

depends on who you ask...

& when you ask them...

Eye of the beholder & all.

a ww who's into bm will spot the attractive ones and miss the ugly ones

a bm who's into ww will do the same

I remember one white guy writing online about asian women: "i've never seen an ugly one". Of course, everyone else sees a few attractive ones, lots of plain ones and some ugly ones...

Clearly if you're into a certain "type" your eyes are going to be biased to spot the attractive ones and miss the unattractive ones.

I think the asian guy in the article was lamenting the biases in interracial relations, and that has more to do with social stuff than actual attractiveness of any one race.

There are prolly asian guys who are attractive but get less love than the white guy just based on being asian. Women do lots of stuff in response to fashion and media, especially status-conscious types, and yes that includes the kind of guys it's fashionable to have.

sorry for the long & winding answer, but that's what happens when I'm on the road & bored :mrgreen:

 

Great post

 

Saying one race is more attractive than the other is like saying one race is more intelligent or more funny. That shit is subjective as hell. Now if you want to ask is one race more celebrated that's a different story altogether.

 

One cannot help whom they are attracted to. I have agree with medullaslashin that it depends on the person. But, of course, this is a personal and superficial issue. Nothing more than that.

 

Yep. I see more more women of a certain physical type that I am attracted to, but that does not mean that another woman of a totally different type couldn't totally captivate me and make me lose my head over her.
