Anyway, I've read this article and I found it curious. It tells about 30 men who were interviewed regarding their preference in women, looks versus attitude.
"We interviewed 30 Black men, ranging in age from their early 30s to late 40s. Rating them on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), on their overall appearance (athletic physique, appeal, style), only one-third of them hit the top of the scale. Now, when it came to the looks department, even with the protruding guts (beer bellies), more than half of the men we considered to be yum-yum chocolate eye candy. Setting aside the perfect 10, we added another 20 who did not know we selected them based on the size of their waistlines. In choosing 30 candidates for the survey, we eliminated any men who were admitted women bashers, who were recently divorced, men who preferred same sex partners, and those who took pride in announcing that they are a “Pimp� or “Player.� We did keep both professional and blue-collar workers, single and married, average-looking Black men.
To see if responses were strictly out of the melting pot of the male brain, or were affected by what was in front of them, 15 were interviewed by Cheril, an attractive, size six, Black, single woman with an arrogant attitude. The last 15 were interviewed by Shannon, an attractive, statuesque, size 14, single woman, with a pleasant personality and a Ph.D. at the end of her name tag.
Each man was asked a question that required they choose between two types of women, (A) or (B). Then, we opened up a forum and asked them, collectively, to tell us what they disliked and appreciated about Black women. They were free to make comparisons (to other races, sizes, looks), provocative comments, complaints or compliments.
Here is how the survey went. Every man was shown pictures that represented two types of Black women, and were told what their personalities were like. They were then asked which type would be their preference. The choices were purposely designed to be opposites in physical appearance and persona.
The (A) type woman was a gorgeous Halle Berry type and small (size 6), but she had a crappy attitude.
The (B) type woman was overweight but with a loving personality.
Surprisingly, 25 out of 30 men chose the type (A). Cheril, the size 6 woman with the arrogant attitude, was asked if she was single, handed a business card and asked out by 12 of the 15 men that she surveyed. Three of them were married. On the other hand, Shannon, the attractive 25-pound overweight woman with a pleasant personality and a Ph.D. on her nametag, was asked if she was single by only one man. But she was complimented by almost every man that she surveyed, on her beautiful smile. None of the men mentioned Cheril’s smile."
