@PeripheralVision, @philtecturophy, @deg, @Daviljoe193, @LenRea, and @DesuMaiden are disqualified since their looks are known.

The candidates will be the following: @149597871 @3miL @ArabianLuffy @Cielord @Commit_Crime @FZREMAKE @Kwanthemaster @Little_Sheepling @Lost_Viking @Lucifrost @LoveYourSmile @Meusnier @RainyEvenings @rohan121 @Sasori56483 @ScaryOwl @Serafos @SmugSatoko @Soverign @TheBlockernator @traed @Zakatsuki_ @Zarutaku @Zettaiken

Of course we need a feminine touch in all of this so I'll require the opinions of @CC @KittenCuddler @Tressym @Rinrinka @MalchikRepaid @Nette

Feel free to debate your choice! And please, don't vote for yourself! (and feel free to warn me if we actually know the looks of any of these users).

I'm writing in a candidate: @Moonspeak (because I know what he looks like and is handsome)

In the list probably @LoveYourSmile mainly because he exudes the confident a handsome man would have.

I'm having a bit of a brain fog moment trying to visualize anyone here, but I'm going to vote @Lost_Viking. I know someone on this list has gotta look like Brian Peppers, so I hope the Viking isn't it.



EDIT: Holy fuck... @LenRea not only looks normal, he's genuinely photogenic!

Probably Commit_Crime since I know he is at least 6"2+. Besides that, no ugly guy would risk using that username. It requires a decent amount of social validation from looks to obtain that confidence.

Some users never really stated their gender to begin with.

I'd have to think about it who to vote for. I know Rohan121 probably looks normal unlike what he keeps saying since whenever I see some guy talk really bad on their looks constantly they never look as bad as they make out just sickly or unkept looking or bad haircut or just overweight but relatively attractive or otherwise normal. Maybe Serafos since I imagine he puts more effort into his appearance knowing the kinds of clothes he says he wears. I almost would say LoveYourSmile but I'm guess a bit unconventionally attractive so less widely considered.

thanks, but I am 187 cm, I think thats 6'1. And height isnt everything, I looked like shit before I put muscle on my frame, the taller you are, the harder it is to have a good looking physique. At every comp during high school I looked like the thinnest guy in my weight class until one team imported a 2 meter tall Romanian noodle man.

I think most Asian males, or perhaps those in Western countries, have had feeling of inferiority regarding our sexual appeal. I myself felt lesser than white men in terms of my appearance, and I do not think it is a coincidence then that I have very rarely dated white women. I know it is awfully petty considering I look pretty damn good myself, but I do feel some resentment over being considered less handsome because of my ethnicity/racial features, less viable as a romantic partner in a society that still has a fairly white supremacist standard of beauty.

Nette is right about Moonspeak - doubt anyone tops that. From the list, maybe @Serafos - not just because he voted for me (thank you), but knowing where he's from and that he stays active (and now knowing he's done modeling gigs).

I'll vote for @Meusnier though. Not only did he make a thread about attractive mathematicians, but he has a beautiful mind.

Jeez, can you stop being an incel for 5 minutes? You would have no problems if you looked like 三船 敏郎 of 太宰治. Not everything is "white supremacism," and preferences in dating surely aren't... The weird thing, if any, is the obsession of white men with Asian women.

Also, the success of Kpop and the fascination many white women have with male idols from East Asia show that you are wrong.

@Kwanthemaster He shared his dating profile on MAL back in 2014 (Here, and here), so the maiden's face is public knowledge, even if most of MAL forgot about its existence until very recently.

I agree with that as well, the obsession of white men with Asian women is also rooted in bigotry the characterize Asian women as the "exotic other", yet I think it would be foolish to say this affords them the same respect on a historical basis with other, "less marginalized" groups, for example, white women.

I hate to discuss in these purely racial terms because of how dehumanizing it is, but to be brusque and short to the points I hope to impart, it is better for me to use them I suppose.

It should not be a surprised that culture and more broadly the environment are powerful factors behind who we find attractive. This sort of effect was demonstrated in Brown V. The Board Of Education (1954) with the famous "doll test". Both black and white children preferred white dolls over black dolls, and you can say it is either rooted more strongly in nurture or more strongly in nature.

I find no evidence that it is mostly a matter of nature, that one "race" should have such a strong preference for the same because genes. I think these are cultural attitudes that take a long time to rectify, if they still do.

So, what is strange then the idea that bigotry that has persisted to this day has not influence dating, especially of the interracial sorts? Truthfully Meusnier, I do not believe for a moment that this sort of racial discrimination is unique to Asians or men. As you said before, Asian women are fetishized, though I am not too read on the subject to say more than my personal experiences. Black women have been dehumanized by the Jezebel stereotype, and similarly considered "less attractive" and "lesser" than white women (Though again, Asian women being fetishized is not the same level of "respect" or "value" given to white women, who also quite frankly are fetishized and oppressed in their own way.) It was not so long ago that Abercrombie and Fitch admitted to hiring most of its workforce on the basis of its appearance, and a majority of its hires being white men and white women.

Keep in mind I grew up in the 2000s, the day of raunchy comedies, when MADTV had jokes about Bobby Lee. There are studies that as I see it attest to the very real perception of Asian men as less masculine and less attractive (Not so coincidentally, black women are seen as less feminine and less attractive in this same vein). I am also American, so you know...there's that. Now you are telling me the KPop boom solved all of that, as if Asians could be swept up under one blanket? (Sorry to say, but I am a bit swarthier than your typical KPop idol and perhaps Korean.)

That's just my lived experience. I think it is a matter of ignorance to callously dismiss what I personally had to live through. Like objectively speaking, I am also not black. I don't know what it is like to be a black person in the United States, or Jewish, or Middle Eastern, or a woman. So I have reservations about dismissing personal experiences contingent on the racial, ethnic, sex, and gender identities of groups I AM NOT A PART OF. I think you should do the same.

But for the sake of it, I pick @rohan121 since people who don't stop putting their own looks down, often look pretty normal.

@Tressym I mean, to be fair, it is hard to be a teenage girl or young women these days, and they grow up in a culture that stigmatizes Tumblr culture. I don't hate them for that, in fact I don't think it is necessarily any "groups" fault that we inherited all this history, that we grew up in a society that tells us black is less attractive than white. I myself have engaged in bigoted practices as well.

I also do not want to make this a pity party because truthfully I am thankful that I was born attractive, and I am privileged in many other ways.

At the same time, I also felt objectified growing up, being seen as an easy sort of "fuck boy" that no one takes home to their parents, and for that I still feel lesser, like something about me makes me only moderately attractive. This is my experience, alongside feeling less attractive than I am, and I feel the need to be honest about those experiences while not allowing them to act as excuses for inceldom or any sort of misogyny or bigotry or self-pity.

Meusnier is right here, in that these are often incel talking points. The difference is that women and young girls aren't really to blame here, if any one group should be blamed. No one chooses to born in this type of world. That being said, anyone who denies reality like this has no standing to say "they have empathy".

TL;DR Interracial dating has its unique challenges.

@PeripheralVision

To be fair... that doesn't really sound fair not to blame women for fetishizing certain men, and also a bit infantilizing. For one, lot of these kpop fans aren't 13 anymore, they are old enough to understand their own behavior ... talking about obsessing with certain stars and even stalking them etc. I have seen female kpop fans saying ALL black guys are ugly, because Korea too thinks that.
"Having a type" is another thing, but I guess the line to draw between having a type and fetishizing is the dehumanization and the level of obsession.

@Kwanthemaster He shared his dating profile on MAL back in 2014 (Here, and here), so the maiden's face is public knowledge, even if most of MAL forgot about its existence until very recently.

@Daviljoe193 Somehow I always imagined DesuMaiden being a white man with glasses, but it looks like I'm way off lol. People always look way different in real life than how I imagine them to look.

To be fair... that doesn't really sound fair not to blame women for fetishizing certain men, and also a bit infantilizing. For one, lot of these kpop fans aren't 13 anymore, they are old enough to understand their own behavior ... talking about obsessing with certain stars and even stalking them etc. I have seen female kpop fans saying ALL black guys are ugly, because Korea too thinks that.
"Having a type" is another thing, but I guess the line to draw between having a type and fetishizing is the dehumanization and the level of obsession.
@Tressym I think systemic issues like this, and they are systemic, rise above the "responsibility" of any group, though really the more proper term as I see it is "culpability". We have a responsibility to address it, but that is different from and arguably not dependent on assigning blame. (Though some people these days do deserve blame for their actions, I agree)

From my experience, which is not very much, most super K-Pop stans grow out of it or become more tempered as adults, so I do not have very many negative experiences being objectified by them. I graduated high school when it seemed to have hit the United States, thankfully?

I also been watching a lot of this youtuber, Sarah Z's, content on fandoms like Sherlock and I have to say she presents it in an accessible and deeply empathetic way, hence why I am trying to be more restrained and thoughtful here regarding fandoms. Just throwing a recommend if you are into that sort of niche bullshit and community building of the shipping wars of JohnLock and Destiel

I suppose I was being too lenient here and infantilizing of women, but I felt pretty POed typing my response to Meusnier so I guess I dialed it back.

@Kwanthemaster I'll be honest... minus the muscles, it's kinda uncanny.

Also I don't know where the heck you found that video nor the context but it's definitely going to be haunting my nightmares some night soon so thanks for that I guess.

I forgot to address this, but it is not even just that. If you have been growing up as well have been in the dating pool in a very diverse society as the United States, you notice things. 56% of women in the United States are white, yet most of the women I have dated have been Indian, have been Vietnamese and Korean and Chinese and black. I have very rarely gone on a date with a white woman.

I don't want to fetishize white woman, something that does happen in minority communities, but I notice these trends. It is never just as simple as someone coming up to me and saying "you are not attractive" or someone making lascivious comments or even what the media has told me growing up, but the understanding that many women, or certain types of women, find one less attractive, or that white men are more desirable. The keyword here is absence.

I rarely saw Asian men portrayed the same way as white men have been in films growing up, at least those in Hollywood. Girls have always treated me different growing up, even if some did find me attractive (I went to a gifted program so it was mostly white.) Likewise, I am aware I am more or less pigeonholed racially speaking when it comes to my dates. Occasionally I do have people make racial snide remarks, but it is the exclusion I have experienced the most.

This is fact "having a type", or rather "have men who are not your type". Women and men are free to have that choice, but it would foolish to suggest any of our choices or preferences are not deeply influenced by our circumstances or environment, and that is what I hope to impart to people here.

I agree to a certain extent of course, but pretending like people are like clay to form goes into dangerous territory too, where it's not only making it look like queerness is a choice, but where people start demanding sex from others, because they think other people should be attracting to them.

Btw that "having a type" wasn't really JUST about ethniticity, it was about that some women prefer more androgynous men over masculinity (or like both types of men), which most kpop guys are. They cast the androgynous ones, because lot of young women are into that.

I'd like to reply to the rest of your text, but tbh it's a whole workload to answer to your long posts sometimes. ^^'

In the interest of equal representation, OP should also make a "Even without knowing what they look like, which female user on CD do you think has the fattest titties?" thread.

Trolling people on the internet? So it's been a ruse all along! Honestly, aside from the NTHE script, he seems like a cool guy.

Hey appreciated (although this region is not typically the type of men I'm into), how do you even know I'm young lol. I'll vote Cielord by proxy, Middle Eastern Settler brothahood ✊

True. It gets progressively harder to fill your stature with muscle, the more of you there is to fill. For most of my life, I looked very noodly, being 190 didn't really help my self-esteem.

Keep in mind I grew up in the 2000s, the day of raunchy comedies, when MADTV had jokes about Bobby Lee. There are studies that as I see it attest to the very real perception of Asian men as less masculine and less attractive (Not so coincidentally, black women are seen as less feminine and less attractive in this same vein).


Btw, this studies you are saying is true, the dating site preferences also attest to black women and East Asian men getting the short end of the stick. The part that you are assuming however is the claim that this perception is an entirely or even predominantly a cultural phenomenon. The findings of perceiving East Asian faces as on average more feminine have been replicated not just in US-based[1] studies, but also UK[2], Australia as well as Malaysia[3], which points to a cross-cultural perception. Furthermore, facial sexual dimorphism with respect to femininity in women have been strongly correlated to attraction in 5 distant nations of Cameroon, Colombia, Czechia, Iran and Turkey[4]. There is more to be said, like research on sexual dimorphism serving as a cue for other biological factors, and some cross-cultural variation being attributable to preferred traits varying on account of different characteristics being optimal for survival and reproduction under different environmental conditions, while others like preference towards lighter-skin on women being rather ubiqitious, but the post is long enough.

Racial Stereotypes and Interracial Attraction: Phenotypic Prototypicality and Perceived Attractiveness of Asians
Participants reported perceiving that the masculinity of the three racial groups differed significantly from one another, F(1.48,41.62)=80.87, p<.001, partial \eta^2=.74 Mauchly's test indicated the assumption of sphericity was violated, \chi^2(2)=11.45,p=.003, so degrees of freedom were corrected using the Greenhouse-Geisser correction \varepsilon=.74. Repeated measures contrasts revealed that Asians were perceived as being the least masculine; Whites (M=3.89,SD=0.11) were stereotyped as being more masculine than Asians (M=2.56,SD=0.14) , F(1,28)=52.67,p<.001, partial \eta^2=.65, and less masculine than Blacks (M=4.96,SD=0.15),F(1,28)=61.19 p<.001, partial \mathfrak{\eta}^2=.69 (see Figure 1).
[...]
Asian men: Phenotypic prototypicality predictive of masculinity and attractiveness. For Asian male targets, we first examined the relationship between PP and the gendered characteristics to assess whether the degree to which targets were perceived as looking Asian was related to perceptions of their masculinity and femininity. In support of hypotheses, we found that PP was negatively associated with ratings of masculinity, F(1,45)=3.94,R^{2}=.08,b=-.11,SE=.06,p=.05; the higher the PP, the less masculine male targets were perceived as being. Higher PP was not significantly associated with higher femininity ratings, $F(1,45)=2.04,R^{2}=.04,b=.07,SE=.05,p=.16.

A Facial Attractiveness Account of Gender Asymmetries in Interracial Marriage
Procedure Participants were presented with 300 opposite-sex faces, one at a time via a computer monitor. They rated each of these faces on their attractiveness. The faces were presented in a random order and the rating scale went from 1 (unattractive) to 10 (attractive).

Results
The responses of all participants to all of the faces are available asa supplementary file called Data S1. Table 3 shows the summary means and standard deviations for the sets of faces. For the female faces, Asian faces were rated as being most attractive followed by White and then Black. A three-way ANOVA showed these differences to be significant (F(2,297) = 11.861; p,.001) with all of the comparisons significant (p’s,0.05). For the male faces, Black faces were rated as being most attractive followed by White and then Asian. A three-way ANOVA showed these differences to be significant (F(2,297) = 63.305; p,.001) with all of the comparisons significant (p’s,0.05).

Sexual dimorphism and attractiveness in Asian and White faces
Here, we examine whether there are differences in perceived sexual dimorphism between Asian and White men’s and women’s faces. Participants were asked to manipulate the femininity/masculinity of faces using a computer programme to optimize their attractiveness. We predicted that participants would choose to increase the femininity more for White women’s faces than they would for Asian women’s faces. Conversely for men, participants were predicted to increase the masculinity more for Asian men’s faces than for White men’s faces.

Thirty White participants (18 female; 12 male; aged 18–26, M = 19.93, SD = 1.93) were recruited from Macquarie University, Australia. Thirty-five Malaysian Chinese participants (15 female; 20 male; aged 18–29, M = 20.6, SD = 2.45) were recruited from the University of Reading Malaysia.
[...]
Participants chose to significantly reduce the masculinity of White female, t(24) = 7.17, p < .001 (M = −22.41, SD = 15.62) and male, t(24) = 2.99, p = .006 (M = −10.97, SD = 18.36) faces, but not Asian female, t(24) = 1.44, p = .164 (M = −4.71, SD = 16.39) or male t(24) = 1.82, p = .081 (M = −4.80, SD = 13.19) faces to enhance perceived attractiveness. In the univariate ANOVA, there was a significant main effect of ethnicity of face, F(1,96) = 14.03, p < .001, h2 p = .13 with participants choosing to reduce the masculinity of White faces (M = −15.94, SD = 16.81) significantly more than Asian faces (M = −4.64, SD = 13.93). There was a marginally significant trend for participants to reduce the masculinity of female (M = −13.06, SD = 17.18) more than male (M = −7.52, SD = 15.19) faces, F(1,96) = 3.37, p = .069, h2 p = .03. There was also a marginally significant interaction between ethnicity of face and sex of face, F(1,96) = 3.29, p = .073, h2 p = .03.

Facial attractiveness and preference of sexual dimorphism: A comparison across five populations
As predicted (see Table 3), raters strongly preferred women who were perceived as more feminine
in all samples. On the other hand, raters did not agree on the preferred degree of perceived male sextypicality. In fact, only raters from the Czech and Colombian samples preferred men who were perceived as more masculine. Morphometric variables (facial morphological averageness, sexual shape dimorphism), relative facial width and measured skin lightness were inconsistent predictors of perceived scales: they predicted perceived characteristics only in a subset of the samples.
[...]
Such high correlation between perceived femininity and attractiveness conforms to the evolutionary model and its implicit assumptions. It has been proposed, mostly based on indirect evidence, that femininity in women’s faces presents an honest cue to proper hormone-based development (Probst et al.,2016; Thornhill & Grammer, 1999), fertility and reproductive health (Law Smith et al., 2006) and should be therefore preferred. Moreover, our results across samples replicate findings of recent studies which identified a strong association between facial femininity and attractiveness using various research design (Foo, Simmons et al., 2017; Mogilski & Welling, 2017; Muñoz-Reyes et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2009). Contrary to this assumption of universal preference of female femininity, other scholars suggested that in harsh environments (De Barra et al., 2013; Penton-Voak et al., 2004) and small rural populations (Scott et al., 2014), preference for female sex-typicality should be weaker or absent altogether. In our study, however, the magnitude of femininity preference was relatively stable across the samples from distant populations. Accordingly, female femininity, eventually pointing to sexual maturity and reproductive health, may present a women’s characteristic that is universally preferred.
