C...Mixed-raced people are more are more attractive?<br />Compared to who?<br />Many true Blacks don't favor lighter people,nor do they like string or soft hair.<br />Most Whites normally like their own,even though they'll sleep with anybody.Both groups might like one 'special' person in another race,but not all the others,which is a comment I hear often. Asians well I don't know anything about them...they're just foreign.miz RAND BLOWTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306476695686165653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-72540191635295676182010-04-22T15:45:22.001+03:002010-04-22T15:45:22.001+03:00Dragon Horse:

Otherwise standards of beauty would be constant, rather than variable over space, population and time. There is also room for individual subjective preference.<br /><br />You aren't an evolutionary psychologist by any chance, are you? :-)<br /><br />Dienekes is correct in identifying the sampling errors in this research, but even with a perfectly random sample, this research could only tell us about the standards of beauty held by an individual population or society.Belenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576215104931708232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-91481133105279988582010-04-21T07:41:13.870+03:002010-04-21T07:41:13.870+03:00And Polynesians are a mixed population, as shown b...And Polynesians are a mixed population, as shown by bhall's link here: <br /><br />http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2010/03/major-east-west-divide-in-indonesian-y.htmlterrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-33007598652319892322010-04-21T03:16:04.883+03:002010-04-21T03:16:04.883+03:00Sorry for the ugly mass of deleted posts.

Unfortunately, blog format requires you to delete and republish your comments (in the edited form) in order to edit your comments. That is why I prefer forum format, which allows you to edit your comments without deleting them, and even if you delete them they disappear from the forum without leaving a trace.Onur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-78378060786300830212010-04-20T14:38:00.939+03:002010-04-20T14:38:00.939+03:00onur, just hit "Publish your Comment" on...onur, just hit "Publish your Comment" once.
