		<description>This is the summary of my observations of the dating scene:

lesbian and bisexual women of all races:  Bellatrix has heard no general complaints.  Usually, the women are only unhappy with individual people and not entire groups.

Random person:  Wow, you&#039;re bisexual?  You must like everyone on this planet!

Straight couple:  looking for bisexual girl to join

straight black girls:  black guys that we like are going for white girls.

straight Asian guys:  Asian girls are going for the white guys

Gay Asian male 1:  I like Asian guys
rest of gay Asian males:  That&#039;s so revolutionary.  We dig white guys.

Gay black guys:  Only date white
Remaining black guy:  *is bummed*

Every once in a while, I see replies to blog posts that read like &quot;you&#039;d get more girls if you work out&quot;, so I&#039;ll add this.  It seems that all men and women are affected by the following body image that the media projects.

Men:  must be tall and muscular to be attractive.
Gay guy:  must be under the age of 25.
Asian guy:  must look like an anime bishie, boy band guy, or Asian drama star

Women:  must be like 5&#039;11&quot; and 110lbs to be pretty. 
Asian women:  must be under the age of 25 and a size 0 to be considered by an Asian guy.  

On the work out more thing, I will have to say that a moderate amount of exercise is healthy and the right types of exercises can be a lot of fun.   

In response to the comments about white girls dating Asian guys:  the ones that I&#039;ve seen are pretty decent, but my observations are limited to my college campus.

On the one end, we got guys complaining about how Asian girls like white guys.  On the other, I have this friend who really wants an Asian boyfriend.  Asian guys who want girlfriends, wherefore art thou?  Here&#039;s a sexy single lady right next to me.

Bellatrix&#039;s personal tastes:  likes women and transpeople of all races but prefers Asians.  So far, I haven&#039;t found a unifying theme in terms of physical characteristics that I prefer to see in a partner, unless you count that emotionally, I&#039;m slightly more into Asian girls and transpeople.  I am an Asian girl for the record.</description>

		<description>Not all stats come from academia.  Many are done by government agencies like the US Census.  Here in NYC, we have a non profit organization called the Asian American Federation that track Asian issues in regards to education, income, and interracial marriage..etc. 

http://www.aafny.org/

&quot;How accurate do you expect Academic findings to be when they only have like 1K budget (some don’t even have budget)&quot;.</description>

How accurate do you expect Academic findings to be when they only have like 1K budget (some don&#039;t even have budget). That&#039;s why I think most sociology research papers (and academics in general) is just full of shiz.</description>

		<description>Raguel, When it comes to income levels and race...Blacks and Hispanics as a group earn more than what the stats dictate!  Or maybe they earn less!  So which is it?

&quot;95.6% of statistics are made up on the spot. True story&quot;.  

Maybe when it comes to income levels and racial demographics, that measly 4.4% represents what you call accuracy. 

Don&#039;t think for a second that a cool Black dude from the ghetto is gonna score a high quality White chick based on Hollywood stereotypes.  The WF/BM couples I get to deal with, outearn the AF/WM couples everytime.  The BM is always a high earner, raking in six digits and doesn&#039;t speak in ebonics.  There&#039;s one couple who I&#039;m very friendly with, the BM is in upper management at a Fortune 500 company, and owns a home and an apartment in NYC.  You think his WF wife would be with him he had made $10k working at McDonalds, yet she overlook this deficiency because he was a cool guy?</description>

		<description>Oh, this is one of those times when I genuinely want to know: how closely does statistical evidence mirror reality?</description>

I get the feeling you may still be struggling on this so one more time.

Lets take a look at Kings comment earlier on as it helps me explain my issue with you.

King said:
&quot;In my own observation, I have at times crossed paths with the WM/AF couple cadre. I can assure you, that the girls who I have known who are dating White guys are (for the most part) quite attractive, well educated, and successful.&quot; 

He however freely admits that it is anecdotal.

You make the opposite claim and yet the only evidence you have is ALSO anecdotal.

“I deal with clients everyday so the opinions I make is based on my sample of interaction.”

The problem with arguing based on anecdotal evidence is that anecdotal evidence is not necessarily typical; only STATISTICAL EVIDENCE can determine how typical something is. 

Get it yet?</description>

I&#039;ll post this again since you seemed to miss it the first time.
&quot;THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE&quot;

If your still not getting it I have never stated it doesn&#039;t happen. THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE. I feel the need to put important stuff in caps since you keep missing it.

I NEVER stated that there has been no instance of attractive white female with Asian male so I don&#039;t even understand what the pictures were for. Although I&#039;m not surprised about you going off topic when you have no reply to the points I raise like your like your bizarre rant about British women.

I am honestly shocked a grown man would try to use pictures he found online as a counter argument to a two year study done by Columbia University on Racial Preferences in Dating. 

&quot;Where are the links?&quot; &quot;Show me something other than those hot celebrities with baggage?&quot;

Really? You would honestly change your argument if I showed you pictures of attractive Asian women with white men? 

So Google images is the real key to making you to change your mind? Not logical argument and studies by prestigious universities on the subject at hand. A bit of a worry.

&quot;What do I need to back up? I don’t care for averages, there’s enough of them in this world.&quot;

What you need to back up is your entire argument as at this moment in time its ONLY YOUR POINT OF VIEW. Provide evidence, if you can&#039;t then give it up.

I&#039;ll explain to you how argument works since your not getting it. You and I have differing viewpoints so we have to back up your arguments or else it would just be your word against mine. To strengthen my argument I provided various INDEPENDENT studies backing up my viewpoint. 

You on the other hand found some pictures on the internet and then continue to prattle on that you have seen the opposite yourself and seem to believe that is a legitimate argument. 

You also stated you don&#039;t care for averages? Once again are you serious?

&quot;I deal with clients everyday so the opinions I make is based on my sample of interaction.&quot;

Read this back to yourself a few times so it sinks in. This is textbook confirmation bias.

Chr.. for you to keep going when you only have your opinion is a losing battle for you. Either provide reputable sources or give up your ranting until you do.</description>

		<description>&quot;King already posted some links but if I posted up hundreds of pictures of wealthy beautiful Asian women with white men would that change your mind? What your doing is called confirmation bias.&quot;

Where are the links?  Show me something other than those hot celebrities with baggage?

What do I need to back up?  I don&#039;t care for averages, there&#039;s enough of them in this world.  Again, you are in denial that pretty White women go for good looking Asian men.  You don&#039;t want to know because of whatever bias you have.   You arguing a different thing everytime you are here. We all know there are more AFs in interracial relationships.  Even a 5 year old kid knows this.  

I think I need to find myself an ugly WF to end this interracial dating disparity between the Asian sexes!

Raguel,

How about it&#039;s based on media hype, and AFs want to shit on WFs?  Many AFs are jealous of WFs? No?

I deal with clients everyday so the opinions I make is based on my sample of interaction.  Not only do they date White undesirables, they go for the entire rainbow of losers, except Asian.  And I think I have a valid claim, because what I see in income levels represent the stats in NYC - older White males, and individual Asians and Asian couples earn the most, then followed by younger under 40 Whites and single WFs, and at the bottom are the scourge of society who are the blacks and hispanics.  AF/WM couples fall between the younger White group and the low income minorities.   The only difference with them and other groups, and I couldn&#039;t say it better than you, is that the AFs want to live in the fantasy White world, and meanwhile they are having problems financially because of it.

&quot;I think that this idea of the worth of AF/WM couples is just an ego-defence mechanism. It might help guys who’ve been treated badly by Asian women, as we all know there are a lot of Asian women who feel a need to shit on Asian men in public out of some sort of self-hate and the desire to fit in&quot;.</description>
