Inter racial attraction.

This is an interesting article about inter racial attraction. Published in 2008.

b]Columbia University[/b] -- with research and editing assistance from Harvard University, MIT, and Stanford University -- conducted a study on racial preferences in interracial dating. The study was conducted over a two-year period between 2004 and 2007, involving thousands of participants, and the latest draft of the report was published in "Racial Preferences in Dating" in May 2007. (Notes: The study is still on-going.)

The politically incorrect and bad news for Asians of both sexes is that Asians are rated the least physically attractive race, and that's especially true for Asian men, i.e., women of other races find Asian men the least attractive.

From the study:

"For male partners, our main finding is that Asians generally receive lower ratings than men of other races. In fact, when we run the regressions separately for each race, we find that even Asian women find white, black, and Hispanic men to be more attractive than Asian men."

The final analysis is that women have a stronger preference for dating within their own race than men, but men still have a preference for dating within their own race. The exception is Asian women who, on average, have no preference against dating white men.

The reason you see so many white male/Asian female couples is not because white men prefer Asian women (in fact they prefer black and Hispanic women over Asian women), but because Asian women like white men as much as they like men of their own race. On the other hand, women of other races view Asian men as the least desirable race, so Asian men have fewer opportunities to date interracially themselves.

"African-American women said yes about 30 percent less often to Hispanic men; about 45 percent less often to white men; about 65 percent less often to Asian men."

"White women said yes about 30 percent less often to black or Hispanic men, and about 65 percent less often to Asian men."

"Hispanic women said yes about 20 percent less often to black or white men, and 50 percent less often to Asian men."

"Asian women didn’t discriminate much by race (except for showing a very slight preference for Asian men over black or Hispanic men)."

"For equal success with an African-American woman, a Hispanic man needs to earn an extra $184,000; a white man needs to earn an additional $220,000."

"For equal success with a white woman, an African-American needs to earn an additional $154,000; a Hispanic man needs $77,000; an Asian needs $247,000."

"For equal success with a Hispanic woman, an African-American man needs to earn an additional $30,000; a white man needs to earn an additional $59,000."

"For equal success with an Asian woman, an African-American needs no additional income; a white man needs $24,000 less than average; a Hispanic man needs $28,000 more than average."

Speaking Languages

I just found a guy on the internet who posted a video on youtube of himself speaking 14 languages. I understood 6 of them, and wow, he was bad! ha ha. The others were like Hindi and swahili and vietnamese. I give him props for trying, but it makes me think, maybe I should do a video like that? All 12 ? Fluent? Hmmm. I like to keep it to myself, but I've never tried to do something like that before.

Don't shave to look older.

I had a casting today. It was funny because they wanted a guy between 35-40 years old to shoot a commercial about real Thai food. They told me that I need to look older so that if I get the part not to shave for 2 days before. I was like... is that what old guys do?! Not shave?!

People pass on the right.

It seems to me that most people, about 80% of the time pass people in front of them on the right. Even in countries that I've been to where the vehicle traffic goes the other way.

I hope that the insurgents in Iraq aren't just waiting around, getting strong and waiting until the US leaves to launch a massive attack.
