Dating App Reveals Racial Preferences

[Tyrgannus]

All my life experience, as well as my own feelings, say men are particularly attracted to girls who are sweet. For example, pretty much every single guy in high school agreed who the hottest girl was. She was very pretty but wasn't the most physically attractive girl in the class. But she was SO SWEET that it pushed her hotness WAY ahead of all of the other girls who were prettier.

You might as well ask which race is perceived as more or less sweet. Asians have this perception of being very sweet compared to the rest. That just makes them hotter. What makes a girl less attractive is being sassy / angry / emotional.

This may be true in general and average across the population, but "sweet" is borderline codeword for "boring" for me. I tend to be attracted to very strong and "in your face" type of women, though admittedly it does make relationships more chaotic usually. Still, I'm never interested in women that aren't "in your face". The struggle is real.

I think it probably more true that most guys in high school prefer the girl who isn't going to tear them up for just wanting to speak to them. Hence the "sweet" preference. I was the same, then I grew up a little and realised that I prefer my partners to be a lot more adventurous and wild - they need to keep you on your toes or the relationship gets stagnant really quickly.

Is a dating app (with only two options: "yes" and "skip") really a good metric for this sort of thing...?

I don't know...seems about as reliable as basing people's choices in partners on the type of porn they watch.

I've read a study about it as well, was pretty much the same result.

I can see the Asian men preferring Latinas thing. Latinas have better figures and culturally are similar.

White girls are bossy and not a lot of guys from different cultures want to put up with that. Modern Asian girls are bossy too.

Guess it all depends on the guy. My dad has told me one of the biggest reasons he loves my mom is that she's the sweetest woman he's ever met. Too bad i inherited his supreme smartassery.

What's more interesting are the differences in positive feed backs between men and women. Men responding to women are 2x or more frequent.

Also black men prefere asian women the most while asian women prefere black men the least ... lol. And then black women prefere black men the most vs black men prefer black women the least ... weird. Feels like the statistic is very off when it comes to real relationships.

Wow, I feel bad for black women. That is just shocking.

Not really.

Question is, how well does that in-application data represent real world data.

Personally I am very, very picky, and though I saw a few nice girls of other descent, I have always ended up with a caucasian.

How are latina women similar to asians culturally? I'm Cuban, i live in Miami, and i can guarantee latinos have nothing in common with asians.

You can start with family. Add some macho. Etc.

Fairly certain that puts you in the minority there. Also see the "Ginger vs Mary Ann" debate. Ginger was presented as the "hot one" but Mary Ann got 3x as many love letters during the shows run. Mary Ann was the sweet one. Also, in the "Aniston vs Jolie" debate, men seem to prefer Aniston by about a 3-1 margin. Aniston is the sweet one.

Maybe you find sweet to be boring but most guys get incredibly turned on by it.

[The Stormbringer]

What about half-Asian, half-German? Truly a dream combination...

[Wildtree]

Wtf........ What silly data is this.....
How can Latino NOT be the top choice for men, regardless of their color??

What age groups does this reflect?

Aniston/Jolie? Dude, sweetness has so very little to do with that one. On one hand, you have someone who is actually attractive, and on the other hand you have someone who is kind of ghoulish and used to walk around with a little vile of Billy Bob's blood.

lol. white men can't jump, but it seems they sure know how to hump.

You are right so Jolie wins hands down.

I'm a white male, and i prefer White and Latina women. There is very few asian and black women i find attaractive (there is some though, just not a lot)

I mainly like latinos because my first girlfriend was from columbia, and god she was hot. can't watch Modern familly without it reminding me of her :-p

Maybe 500 years ago.

All you have to do is spend an hour on youtube or twitter to understand why.

Also this clearly shows Biology is racist, let's ban biology for it's bigotry.

Kek.

Not exactly mind blowing research, but it's still interesting to note the preferences of interracial dating; Especially in an age where it's gradually being more accepted, as opposed to just 10 years ago.

Personally, when it comes to black women, I like when they are mixed. Pure Breeds don't do it for me.
