I mean, how many interracial couples do you see around you? In PA, USA, I see around 98% of white girls with white guys, 99.9% of Indian girls with Indian dudes, and around 85% of Asian girls with Asian guys (the rest are exclusively with white guys). Interestingly, even among white-white couples, I've seen the majority of blonde girls with blonde guys (the rest prefer black dudes for some reason).
Yes, it's a relatively small sample (just a US state), but I've seen enough to conclude that at least when it comes to ethnicity/race/skin-color, opposites don't attract each other. There's a term for it—homophily.
- dbjacobs 3y agoOver 40% of marriages in Hawaii are interracial and around 15% of new marriages nationwide are [1]. And this is 10 year old data. I'm sure it's more now.

- Etrnl_President 3y agoThe opposite of a black man is not a white man. If you think this is about race, you are confused.
- behnamoh 3y ago> If you think this is about race, you are confused. My comment is indeed about ethnicity/race/skin-color. In this context, I've noticed intense homophily.
- Izikiel43 3y agoIsn't this because of how you develop beauty standards internally? Like, if you grew among same race people, your standard for partner beauty will point to what you grew up with. I know for sure that's the case with me.
