Women get hot and bothered over income? Really? I must need to check my calendar, ’cause I thought this was 2009, not 1959. By the way, if we extrapolate from your logic, black men are the worst mates: the same studies that show Asian men having higher IQs, bigger incomes, higher obesity rates, and smaller criminal records show the exact opposite for black men. So yeah, trying to combat racism with race- and gender-based stereotypes is probably not such a hot idea. I agree that better media representation would help, though. I’m a white woman, and my first Asian crush was Jackie Chan. I think it’s a shame that Kal Penn decided to change career tracks, in a way, because it seemed like a lot of women were just going crazy for him.
@KT Chong,
Did you actually read the charts, or just glance at the pretty colors and read OKCupid’s interpretation of the charts? White women respond at a rate of 21%-29%, depending on race, while white men respond at 32%-47%. In other words, white men will respond to 15 less messages given a set of 100 from their least-preferred race that they would from their preferred race, while white women will reply to 8 less. That’s a “race preference” gap nearly twice as big — so much for even-handedness! BTW, white women are replied to less than women of all races except for black women. I guess the menfolk are competing so hard for white women’s attention that they forget to talk to us.
