Hot / Not Hot

An online article in Psychology Today has created a furor and had to be taken down, kept alive only by online screen shots. Its content: studies show that Black men are considered by all races to be more attractive than other men.

This blatantly expressed assertion of racial superiority is shocking in this day and age.

But that isn't the reason the article is gone from view. The same studies also showed that Black women are considered to be less attractive than other women.

Oops.

The author, Japanese, asks why this outcome and hypothesizes that since Africans have higher levels of testosterone (for both genders) than other races, you have a lot of masculinity in the entire group, which is great for the men's attractiveness, but less appealing for the women.

Possibly connected with this testosterone level is that Blacks have the highest levels of self-regard about their physical attractiveness, both (attractive) males and (unattractive) females.
