The 'True Blood' Sex Scene We Missed Out On
From The Root: A posting on the Psychology Today's the Scientific Fundamentalist blog, titled "Why Are Black Women Rated Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women but Black Men Are Rated Better Looking Than Other Men?" was the talk of the Twittersphere today (usually just introduced with something like "Appalled!" or "Ridiculous!") ... until it disappeared, that is.Read more at The Root

Whoever came up with bogus idea that black women is less attractive should be assinated,for real. They will not stop undermined the black race. Over 400 yrs of slavery and discrimination they are still at it to destroyed the black race. Black women are the most beautiful and not to mention sexy of all women. I am a butt man and if you have a flat ass thats not attractive. And who has the best butt...black women. And I am not talking about overweight women with big butt..Black women has the perfect butt...And I love it....

I love black men who speak positively about black women! Bravo! You know what the media's aim is to destroy our self esteem so that the black man can pass us by to other races of women which is happening but not as much as we would like to believe.

I am a black woman who envy other black women..LOL because they are so beautiful and have great shapes. I am skinny. :) MOST black women that I have seen have flawless skin. That is what I am most envious of. :) I am working on my diet so I can have flawless skin too. I do not want to be other than black. I love my brown skin and wish I was a little darker but I am still black.

Why is skin color important?
I thought all my girlfriends with black skin were beautiful. So were the tan and white ones.
If you look at dating site statistics, Asians get the most attention.

These articles are crazy we know that there is beautiful and ugly in ALL races it's just that there are more white people on T.V. so America tends to think this is the norm look. They brainwash people into thinking this.

Black women are the most beautiful women on the planet. No other woman in the world has the flawless beauty like the black woman. We live in a white racist society....that always FORCES their views and ideas of what's beautiful and what is not. White society needs to STOP trying to force their idea of beauty down our throats because a lot of black men like myself DO NOT like white beauty. WHITE AMERICA....STOP FEEDING US BLACK MEN YOUR IDEA OF BEAUTY....MOST OF US PREFER OUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN. WE ARE NOT INTO WHITE, ASIAN,LATINO OF ANYTHING ELSE. GIVE ME MY BLACK WOMAN ONLY!

When these researcher measures physical attractiveness they look at features such as eyes, nose, cheekbone, lips, forehead and how proportion they are to each other. In others words if one eyes are too spread apart then that's not considered attractive or if one nose is too big for the face then that's considered unattractive. Then of course height and weight is taken into consideration.
This is not the first study / survey that I heard about in my life time. Earlier surveys always ranked black american women low. In the past surveys - women of color from Eypgt, Ethipoia, Somalia, Brazil and Carribean {trinidad) has been rated as being very attractive.

This is a stupid article. There are ugly women in every race, and beautiful women too. To make such statements makes that person seem so unintelligent, or a racist. My guess is the latter. Black people have beautiful skin, they age or I should say don't age like others. Some of the most beautiful people that I have seem are from black and asian parents.
What the hell is wrong with you????
