I have to strongly disagree with these findings. Everyone knows that eskimo women are uglier than black women.

This is exactly why brown skin women have the issues they do I just gave birth to the most beautiful girl in the world and there is no way in hell i will expose her to something like this article, or someone telling her that scientifically or statistically she is less attractive because of her coco brown skin. Exactly what does this teach our young black women?

Ridiculous. Sorry, how you do you “objectively” measure attractiveness again and based on who’s standards are you doing this in? How can one mere “objective” measurement be a basis for justifying that black women aren’t as attractive as other women? Attractiveness its self is subjective and it has to do with how pleasing, arousing or engaging something or someone is to an other’s perception or consideration. That in its self has different standards from person to person, varying from their backgrounds, upbringings and personal choice. Some sad “intellectual“‘s heart must’ve been broken by a black woman, or maybe his racial supremacist ideals simply need more fabricated validation. I by the way am not black, and call me if I’m wrong but I know when I smell prejudice. Your academics is a waste of effort, intelligence, money and our time.

THis is so true, i have always found that black women look more like monkeys than white women. its the truth, they are more ugly than the superior white women i know some of you retards will call me racist but the fact is it is my opinion, and just because you dont like it doesnt mean im wrong. white women > black women

LOL at this buddy… I’m white, and I LUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV³³³³³ black women, they’re the fuking best… WHAT!!!!!!! I can’t even fuk a white cunt.. wth?! There’s nothing better than a black chick… ^^

Remember that Mr. Satoshi Kanzawa is Japonese. Now look at where he puts Asin in his study and you’ll realize where this moron is coming from!

Who were the “interviewers”? KKK members? So, does this prove that Japanese men are less intelligent? Or maybe just that Psychology Today editors were looking for something to rev up their recognition scores?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. White women go to the tanning salon to get TAN, not to get Black…..duh. Not all white women go tanning. Just like some Black women straighten their hair….not to be white or Asian but because they like it that way! Every century, ideals for beauty change. It’s not necessary to put down White women in order to defend Black because you turn into a hypocrite yourself. I’ve seen all races with absolutely stunning women and all races with just us average plain Janes. I think Gods purpose is bigger than this, ask the blind man if he cares……

Are you serious LOL

Ummm…sorry…I think the moron is the person who makes statement without factual evidence to support it. There have been numerous studies done on what makes one “attractive” or more physically appealing. These studies have gone as far as examining infants reactions to different people looking into their cribs. While different cultures may at times value contradistinctive physical attributes, there are actually ratios (involving BMI, hips to waist, the Golden Mean) which are constants that DO indicate beauty (as recognized by a majority of those surveyed). Race is not necessarily a dominant determinant in these ratios…but if a culture or ethnicity exhibits such traits like obesity, dominant facial features (large broad nostrils, large ears, overhanging brows, etc.), and physical asymmetry, a human will usually appear less attractive. I get so sick of all you brain-dead products of a public school education who were indoctrinated by leftist, loser, leftovers from the 60’s to proclaim any FACTUAL proclamation concerning racial differences as “racist”. Jeez, do any of you pathetic zombies ever tire of reacting like Pavlov’s dogs? Why don’t you use the internet for someting other than socializing and LEARN something for a change….http://www.humansfuture.org/genetic_engineering_physical_attraction.php.htm…..http://www.humansfuture.org/genetic_engineering_physical_attraction.php.htm….http://m.intmath.com/numbers/math-of-beauty.php.

The reason why this article is ridiculous isn’t because it’s not “politically correct”. No rational scientific minded person is going to start throwing around phrases like “black women are less attractive than white women” as if it’s fact based on ONE study (not even a good one, since they didn’t get a cross section of the population).  One study on how participants rated attractiveness doesn’t prove anything. It would take a lot of similar studies with the same outcome as this to even begin to support a theory, and even then it would still only reflect an American perspective and not a race’s definite “attractiveness”. Give me a break.

Wait, do people really think that white women are going to tanning beds to look more like black women?  If you took a gigantic poll of men in the United States and made a list of the 100 most desirable women in American from it, how many women whose blood is +51% African would be on the list?  The African-American women considered most attractive by society typically have lighter skin than the average black woman and often are at least half-white.  It’s ridiculous that people are even arguing about this. It doesn’t matter if you dislike it, it’s how it is.

The article is a summary report of a scientific study into the racial variability of human physical attractiveness, as judged by persons for whom race was a controlled factor—i.e., subjects from each race had a chance to judge both his own and other races. Overall perceptions of the physical attractiveness of men did not vary so much by race (of the man being considered). Furthermore, perceptions of the physical attractiveness of women didn’t vary much for white, Asian, and Amerindian women. However, the study found that black females were generally perceived as being much less physically attractive than women of other races… Except in their own minds, that is. The study also discovered that black females regard black females as the fairest of them all. However, nobody else agrees with them. Black males also rated themselves higher than men of any other race rated their own race and gender, though, once again, this self-admiration by black males wasn’t reflected in other race’s evaluations of black male beauty. I think this means that, if you were to remove from the data all of the samples in which someone was judging someone else OF HIS/HER OWN RACE, blacks would score LOWER than Kanazawa gives for them. That is, if the data were filtered to remove data for which test subjects rated their own race, black males would be judged somewhat inferior in attractiveness, as compared with men of other races, and black females would be judged as being very much inferior in attractiveness, as compared with women of other races. The author is evidently in some trouble because he discovered a racial difference with a scientific study dared to report his discovery with accuracy. The politically correct libtards at Salon reposted the article alongside a photo of Tyra Banks, a relatively light-colored mulatto who, in the picture, had straightened her hair. The reposter obviously intended to provide a visual refutation of Kanazawa’s discovery. All the photo does, of course, is provide a visual confirmation of that study. Don’t be misled by the altered title of the article. Psychology Today tried to dodge the “race card” by changing the author’s original title, “Why Black Women Are Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women,” to this: “Why Are Black Women Rated Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women, But Black Men Are Rated Better Looking Than Other Men?” They’re not. The study didn’t find that black males are rated by all races as being better looking than men of any other race. That notion was invented by whoever changed the title. Forget it. The “new title” is misleading, as political correctness usually is.

I look at it like they dont really understand the black race and its so easy these days to put up false accusations on matters like this.I dont think they have a leg to stand on with this because a lot of races do try to be like the black race as far as tanning,breast,butt and lip jobs. So if this is true this must fit the bill. (UGLY IS THE NEW PRETTY). Somebody needs to lose their job with this waste of time. With being intelligent,if we are less intelligent it goes back to us being held back from the same education as other races but what we had and worked with were able to still reach high IQ’s. Classic case of you hate what you cant be

Once again Matt Stopera, I bow to your genius.

(1) Absolutely not one ounce of surprise that black women are rated lower than white/asian women. If you thought that a survey of the general populace was going to show otherwise, you have been living in a cave your entire life. (2) White men are some of the most handsome, fashionable and suave men you’ll find anywhere. every other race are trying to look like more white men. you don’t see white men emulating anyone, they are proud to be white and beautiful. Lord knows that black women get with white men any chance they get. (3) Insert picture of attractive white man to prove my point.

How large was the group what racial and cultural mix did he use. Who is attractive is culturally conditioned what was considerd attractive 50 years ago (eg Marylin Monroe) would be considered too fat. People exposed mostly to a Holywood view of what is attractive will have one view people exposed to other cultures will have a different view

Dude, FUCK that Satoshi Kanazawa. Fuck him right in the ear.
