In America, it is pretty obvious that the list of races, ordered by easiest to hardest in dating, goes like this:
1. White
2. Black and Latino (very close)
3. East Asian
4. South Asian
People on the forums try to explain this a few ways, but they never really talk about the real reason.
EXPLANATION 1: We are biologically hardwired to prefer European facial features
This is wrong for a few reasons. Firstly, it does not make sense that blacks and East Asians are above South Asians, as South Asian facial features are much more similar to that of Europeans. Blacks and East Asians have completely different maxilla shapes (not to be confused with recession), and East Asians tend to have monolids, which no Europeans have, and of course, blacks tend to have much darker skin than South Asians. We can also see that the preference for facial features in common with Europeans e.g. double eyelids, did not exist prior to cultural mixing despite the fact that some East Asians naturally have them. In most Asian societies, there was simply a preference for lighter skin due to it being associated with a noble background with no need for outdoor labor. Finally, if the preference for European facial features was truly some eternal biological truth, then other races would not have evolved in the first place. For a race to exist, there must have been a consistent preference for its features in a specific region due to it being better adapted to the local conditions.
EXPLANATION 2: Height and frame
If this were the real reason, then blacks should have it the easiest, but they clearly do not. Also, a tall jacked Asian guy still has it harder than an average white guy when you hold other factors constant.
TRUTH: CULTURAL POPULARITY
It is obvious that the ranking of cultural popularity is:
1. White: most popular singers, actors, and the center of mainstream culture in general.
2. Black and Latino (closely tied): They both have well-established cultures in the US that are are pretty mainstream e.g. Rap music.
3. East Asian: Not popular in the mainstream. Mostly limited to emo/alt subcultures, Kpop, and Anime, which are pretty small niches.
4. South Asian: No positive representation at all, along with a bunch of bad stereotypes.
Notice how this ranking is the exact same as the ease in dating. This is because our perception of attractiveness is founded in biology and later shaped by culture. It is clear that culture has a powerful influence and can even go against biology in some cases. For example, South Koreans tend to prefer narrow jaws on men, which is a recent phenomenon due to Kpop. You even have men shaving their jaws and cheekbones to appeal to this standard, which makes no sense from a biological perspective (wider jaws are associated with stronger bite force and higher T regardless of race).
