Researchers recently took data from the Facebook app Are You Interested and found that not only is race a factor in our online dating interests, but particular races get disproportionately high — and low — amounts of interest.
Of the 2.4 million heterosexual interactions researchers reviewed, the findings show:
The business site Quartz graphed these preferences using data on the percentage of "yes" responses to the "Are you interested?" question on the app. The data suggest some uncomfortable stories about racial preferences in online dating.
Back in 2009, the folks over at OKCupid culled through the site's data and similarly found that race played a big role in who would respond to messages, with some similar (and a few different) findings.
Some quick facts from the OKCupid data:

I guess cuz we is all creepy azz crackahs.
Yesterday, we were treated to the heart breaking story of the young woman in Harlem that had four kids by four fathers by 22. To her credit, she did get a nursing accreditation and held a job. However, her taste in men remained abysmal and she hooked up with “Mr. Perfection” who was not only a drug dealer but a user of his own product, cocaine.
After bizarre behaviors that got more violent, she remained in denial as he was incarcerated for four years. After a year on probation (she'd let him back in her life and he acted the role of a perfect probationer), he completed probation and went BACK to his old ways. Dumb cluck endured eight more years of this idiot while birthing two twin girls by her doper “husband”.
Finally, the dope caused him to lose it and he tried to kill her for real. She managed to kill him with a knife thrust and he bled out. Even when this happened, she would not get away from her attacker — she was that hung up on this scumbag.
It seems that far too many black women pick the men in their lives very badly. Other races would do well to avoid them.
This corresponds with my personal preference - my girlfriend is Filipina and I think the hottest actresses are Lucy Liu and Moon Bloodgood.
Depending on the users age, I might disagree.
White men= gainfully employed and subservient to women.
Asian women= not ruined by feminzism.
Anyone familiar with KPOP and the women involved in that musical art show utmost respect to their fans - and do not act like the US female pop stars will begin to understand why men of all races see Asians to be more approachable...society norms in the US are lacking - where in Asian nations, they seem to hold respect as a daily and required norm...just my observation...
I’m white, and I prefer white women.
But, I do have this weird attraction to women with green eyes and red hair. I think I watched too much StarTrek.
.... Damn it! You almost baited me into something that could someday be taken out of context and misconstrued in a fashion that might preclude me from ever successfully running for office.
As you can see here, I have resisted the urge to respond with a well thought out logical answer.
I've lived in both Thailand and Turkey. I found a high percentage of attractive women in both places, but I wasn't in either the marriage or dating market at the time, so it was just an observation. I probably would not have been interested in marrying someone from such a radically different culture.
As for on-line dating, I met my wife on-line, and we've been married for going on 13 years as of this month. However, since the service was catholicsingles.com, I felt pretty confident that anyone I met there would be culturally compatible.
Time for some honesty?
Men like asian women.
Men dislike black women.
Differences????
Small v. Big
Submissive v. Loud mouth bs
No pictures, please.
That should be in a Hallmark Card or something. Deep thoughts.... After pondering it, I tend to agree.
My wife and I do some marriage counseling. More like, marriage preparation than counseling. But our job is to explain what a "Normal" and "Happy" marriage is and what it is not. Newlyweds are often surprised that we tell them to expect.
How many "families" do you know that have reoccurring family train wrecks and disasters that seemingly no one ever sees coming (AGAIN)?.... Really, you can't imagine how your daughter was arrested with her drug dealing boyfriend in an undercover sting after you have caught her with drugs on three occasions, she dropped out of high school, is somehow wearing expensive clothes and jewelry all the time despite not having a job and is also 6 months pregnant? You never guessed something like this could happen, huh?
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.—Leo Tolstoy
Like most of my good ideas, it was a riff off someone else’s good idea.
You're describing a young Maureen O'Hara, not an Orion slave girl.
•R.D. Laing had quipped, “There are no crazy people, only crazy families.” This was after noting a number of his patients who became more functional independently became less so with time and proximity to their family.
Anyone who has lived with an Asian woman can tell you that they are not submissive. My Vietnamese wife is soft spoken and honours most of the historical differences in the roles of the man and women in the home (I shovel the driveway, fix the sink. BBQ and mow the lawn - she chases me out of her kitchen) but she is light years from submissive. An intelligent woman knows how to make her points and persuade her husband without having to yell, scream and demean. As for black women, if you want to know why men of all races (including black men) cringe, just watch any black sitcom and see how these “positive” female characters treat their men. Would you want to live with Florida Evans (”Good Times”), Louise Jefferson (”The Jeffersons”), Aunt Vivian (”Fresh Prince of BelAir”) or Claire Huxtabel (”The Cosby Show”)? No man could survive that much attitude.
I preserve Asian and Latina women over gay men.
There, I said it.
I’m outting myself and I don’t care what anyone thinks anymore.
I
Honestly, the race baiting, moralists aren’t getting laid and that makes me sad....for them...and their pathetic/synthetic world in which they tell themselves they are okay.
They’re not and they can lie to everyone they want but, they can’t hide from themselves.
I’ve dated the United Nations of women.
I like strong women, quick witted, adventurous, brilliant, tough, smart alecky and just plain interested in having fun.
I can’t stand women who subdue themselves. It’s stupid.
Life is an adventure. it’s meant to be lived.
Have fun. enjoy yourself and get with others who wanna laugh at stupid things and please, practice excellence in sarcasm.

“apophasis”....
There are plenty of black women that prefer white men, and even more that don’t have a preference but don’t have anything against.
