The uncomfortable racial preferences revealed by online dating

The data shown above come from the Facebook dating app, Are You Interested (AYI), which works like this: Users in search of someone for a date or for sex flip through profiles of other users and, for each one, click either “yes” (I like what I see) or “skip” (show me the next profile). When the answer is “yes,” the other user is notified and has the opportunity to respond. It’s very similar to another dating app, Tinder.
+
The graphic shows what percentage of people responded to a “yes,” based on the gender and ethnicity of both parties (the data are only for opposite-sex pairs of people). Unsurprisingly, most “yes’s” go unanswered, but there are patterns: For example, Asian women responded to white men who “yessed” them 7.8% of the time, more often than they responded to any other race. On the other hand, white men responded to black women 8.5% of the time—less often than for white, Latino, or Asian women. In general, men responded to women about three times as often as women responded to men.
+
Unfortunately the data reveal winners and losers. All men except Asians preferred Asian women, while all except black women preferred white men. And both black men and black women got the lowest response rates for their respective genders.
+
Perhaps most surprising is that among men, all racial groups preferred another race over their own.
+
AYI analyzed some 2.4 million heterosexual interactions—meaning every time a user clicked either “yes” or “skip”—to come up with these statistics. Its users skew older than Tinder’s—about two-thirds of AYI users are older than 35, according to a spokesperson.

lmao not surprising.

Nobody looking for ? 's
Not really surprised -
Damn, this Asian women epidemic has really started.
-
Tinder was fun for like an hour.
-
Lies.....
-
Someone being more likely o respond to someone going by the measurements they used doesn't not necessarily mean that is the person's preference.
Example: I highly doubt ? prefer Asian women, they probably were just more likely to respond to them because it's not often that you get the chance to holla at an Asian woman. -
They failed to list mullatos....
-
A lot of people be trolling
-
I'm surprised by this ? at all.
-
This is not the least bit surprising
-
didnt know that flat ? and slanted eyes were so popular
-
lol black hoes lauce
-
@ that! I take my sistas over ER'THANG!
-
Here come the pleas.
Why do yall make so many excuses? If the poll was the complete opposite every body would be in here co-signing and "goating" the ? out of it.
AMERICA HATES ? . And just like I said a while ago and will say again. The least desirable woman in America is BLACK WOMEN. Statistics show its because of their obesity rate not their skin color necessarily.
AMERICA HATES BLACK MEN. AMERICA HATES BLACK WOMEN.
? deal with it and stop copping pleas. Thanks. -
I have a hard time believing dudes really are checking for asian women more than any other.. which leads me to believe that this data is largely based on quantity based percentage and is misleading.
There probably aren't that many asian women as there are white and black in this data, making the numbers not as consistent. -
Asians can incorporate Indian, Middle Eastern, Bangladesh women as well not just Oriental. But I still find hard to believe they are most replied too.

Exactly. If this were true ? would be like.... ? goin downtown we goin to china town tonight ? ! Let's get on these asian ? .
Not only that, mostly every ? I know has been with every race of women (excluding indian/middle eastern who weren't even listed). I don't know if I can say that for whites, asians, or latinos.

Can't draw any truly accurate conclusions from this data. Measuring by reality TV shows opposite sex relationships, more and more latina women are checking for ? .
Judging by what i see around me, not a single white male is checking for asian women. -

? in here with their finger's in their ears, rocking back & forth in cold sweats
"Its just not true....its just not true....it's just not true...please say it isnt true..."
This isnt the first study with these results ladies and gents. So I guess EVERYBODY is miscalculating. Yeah OK. THis study is inaccurate? Cool. What about the other 6 or 7 Ive seen over the years. All 7 are inaccurate right? (estimating dont really know its 7.)
I mean after all you've seen in person and in media how is this even questionable that the majority of AMericans simply dont like black people? *shrug* -

Without sources, this whole post is not worth a damn. -
It's crazy that people always say black women are the least attractive when white dudes will pay stupid dumb money to get wit the sistas .
Especially fit, athletic dark ones -
