Personal opinions aside, sometimes there are aspects of human nature that disturb and upset us.

Psychology is bullshit anyway.

OP fails. Here's the article.

Psychology is bullshit anyway.

Depends on what Psychology we are talking about. SOME psychology is bullshit, but not all. Psychology based off of observable data, for example, is not bullshit, it is science.

Because ATOT is the authority on all matters of science.

 

[Gigantopithecus]

Science isn't (supposed to be) an authority-driven way of thinking anyway.

pretty much.


my first thought is: Don't black men prefer white women anyway? And since like (almost always) tends to prefer like, wouldn't this put black women at the bottom of the heap by default?

(sure it's a bit of a stereotype, but...)

:hmm:

The OP SHOULD cancel his subscription. It obviously hasn't helped his mental condition a bit. He's STILL one of our most brain-damaged posters.

 

[Soundmanred]

I thought he was going to say he was tired of them spelling "Sykology Taday" wrong for so many years.
Da troof hertz, donut?

OK Cupid Trends says the same thing but in a much more subtle way.

I love how reverse racism can override scientific fact.
Liberals live in their dreams.

 

[OlafSicky]

As a black man I must say that I agree. I never go out with black women never, for various reasons.

Yeah. There is substantial evidence supporting that humans, on average, find black women less attractive.

The headline in the article was obviously worded poorly, but the concept is fine IMO.

So your mad about scientific fact?

Maybe its time to step out of the dark ages and get with the modern world

So did they agree as Asian school girls as the hottest?

 

[Puppies04]

I think some people read "black women are less attractive" and take it to mean they are less physically beautiful which is a completly different statement. From personal experience i have found that a higher percentage of black women than white women are incredibly stuck up and treat other people like lesser beings. Maybe this is just bad luck on my part as i have also met some black women that are extremly beautiful and intelligent that i find highly attractive but as a monkey that is very good at seeing patterns and applying that information to new experiences i must admit that in general i find black women less attractive than other races.

They did not factor in the wear of school girl outfits with extremely small skirts. Perhaps they should have placed the black women in such attire and then did the study.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

I'm half black and I have hardly ever found black women attractive. Even though I lived and went to school in a primarily black area, I met very few black women that I would "attractive" (obviously subjective) and would be at the bottom of my list for sure.

That doesn't mean I haven't seen some beautiful black women, but I haven't found nearly as many as I have from other cultures. Additionally, many black women completely let themselves go here in the south by their mid 20's, becoming morbidly obese while being pretentious enough to start every day with "I am fine! Damn I look good!" No.. No you don't..

 

[alkemyst]

How dare they say black men are more attractive!!!!

 

[PrinceofWands]

Wow. Just...wow.

I knew it!

If the article is fact-based, what's wrong with it? Try taking the Harvard Skin-Tone Implicit Association Test and see what your own preferences are. Hell, I'm not white myself and even I prefer lighter shades.
