Evolutionary psychologist "study" says...

[Fez Hammersticks]

Satoshi Kanazawa, a London-based evolutionary psychologist , unleashed a firestorm onto the Web this week when he posted an article on the Psychology Today website citing why black women are less physically attractive than others. According to Kanazawa, testosterone is on average more present in Africans; thus, “the lower average level of physical attractiveness among black women.”

This is the same man who claimed beautiful people have more daughters—which in my experience has been the exact opposite (one ugly parent + another ugly parent = pretty daughter). With that said, I am not sure the article was as racist as it was searching for significance. Kanazawa is known for his interest in physical attraction and race, put together almost any “findings” are recipe for disaster. The study insists that physical attractiveness is a measure of genetic and developmental health; and, since Africans have existed much longer in evolutionary history they have more mutations in their genomes than other races. Therefore, generationally mutated black women are ugly.

asian men and black women are usually on the bottom of "attractiveness scales".

Ironic that such a Neanderthal thinks he's evolutionary.

High praise from his peers:

In the British Journal of Health Psychology George Ellison wrote that the theory is based on flawed assumptions, questionable data, inappropriate analysis and biased interpretations. Ellison wrote that Kanazawa mistook statistical associations for evidence of causality and falsely concluded that populations in sub-Saharan Africa are less healthy because they are unintelligent and not because they are poor.[17] Kevin Denny wrote similar criticisms regarding the IQ data and stated that African Americans should have similar IQs when compared to the sub-Saharan African population and that Kanazawa should have measured the distance between areas in a topographical fashion.[18] P.Z. Myers, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Minnesota, has called Kanazawa "the great idiot of social science."[19]

Summarizing the views of other evolutionary psychologists, cognitive scientist of NYU and blogger for Psychology Today, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman asserted that Kanazawa's work shows “poor logic, lack of nuance, and blatant disregard for the totality of the evidence.”[20]

In addition, together with Intelligence researcher Dr. Jelte Wicherts, Dr. Kaufman showed Kanazawa greatly misinterpreted the 'Add Health' study he claimed proved that Black Women were least attractive. Drs. Kaufman and Wicherts conducted an independent analysis of the same study that Kanazawa used and found, amongst other errors of Kanazawa's analysis, that Black Women were not rated as least attractive. The study actually showed "there is no difference between the ethnicities in terms of ratings of physical attractiveness." The percentage of Black Women and White Women who were deemed 'very attractive' and 'attractive' were exactly the same. Asian women had a slightly higher rating.[21]

Kanazawa based his article much in part that Black women have higher testosterone levels than other women since "Africans on average have higher levels of testosterone than other races." Kanazawa never gave a scientific study for this statement. In fact, an article by the University of Southern California based on a study by the Journal 'Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention' discovered that African-American women have naturally higher levels of estrogen than Caucasian women. [22] Furthermore, a USA Today article based on a Swiss study showed that both Hispanic and Caucasian males have more naturally occurring testosterone levels than African males.

You wouldn't think if we were to ask the residents of S2 about their preferred female races, that black chicks WOULDN'T come in dead last by a landslide?

 

[julius]

So, if I marry an attractive women, I'm going to have to beat off the boys when they come around to date my daughters!










Hm...I probably should've worded that differently...

since you asked:

#1: Women period (not to be confused with women on their period)
#2: white/asian/black women, with a nice shade of light brown.
#3: women period.

I for one do not think in those terms.

Besides, I am definitely a one-woman man. What on Earth would I do with an entire race of women!?

I'm in the camp that "all women are beautiful" or whatever but still, its hard to not say that there are likely some evolutionary or social factors and that the core of this controversial hypothesis probably has some truth to it. who knows though, there are a lot of black babies :MARIS61:

I'm partial to women like Olivia Munn. I knew a woman in college who had parents who weren't of the same color. Here dad was black and her mom was Japanese, and she got the best of both worlds.

Ooh, Rashida Jones too.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think we should make this official "bang a black chick week" to thawrt this racist cracka japanese researcher.

Did you guys know BeerBoy married a black chic?

It's funny that you hear how really dark black women (hate saying it that way) aren't considered "attractive" by certain societies and that it's mixed races that are considered more attractive.

Answer me this, when was the last time you saw a super super SUPER pale white woman and thought "dayam! I want me some of that!"?

Well, besides the time HCP was drunk and saw himself in the mirror, thinking he was his own sister.

I love pale white women.

Freak!

what do you expect, I grew up in Portland.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I've found pale/fair-skinned women quite attractive, and in West Africa saw some very attractive, "dark black" as you'd call it, women.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Some pale women are attractive, just as some dark black women are. I would say that the vast majority of dark black women I see are not very attractive to me. Light skinned or mixed seem to have a very high chance of being attractive.

Anything with a pulse and a wet hole is attractive to you! You are a 19 year old virgin living in your mom's basement!
