Not sure why you tagged me instead of just replying to his post… but here goes nothing.
@BigMan
The people in that study were skewed towards Gen X and older (67% of the users).
And the chart isn't the best to look at here. Those percentages are based on - for example - a Black woman saying yes to a Black man, and the Black man following up on the yes with a response. The response is what is counted not the yesses.
Maybe im confused but is the argument just that the younger generation of black women have always been disloyal or is it that black women as a whole have always been disloyal and preferred white men? if it’s the latter, then Gen x is a group of black women, so this study would be a valid look at a group of black women in the past.
So for BW saying yes to white men, only 8.5% of white men followed up with BW saying yes, whereas BM had the highest follow up compared to BW at 16.4% responses compared to BW 9.3%.
So even that study shows that BM do respond to BW at higher rates than BW respond to BM.
I do think your take is interesting but there’s context that you are skipping over.
the response rate from women across the board was much lower compared to that of men. For example, only 7.8 percent of white women responded to white men, 6.7% of Asian women to white men, etc, etc—and yet those were considered high responses rates
for women. as a whole, women don’t respond much on these apps so the highest response rate for women will always be low compared to men which is why I don’t agree with the way you framed your argument.
If your looking at the percentage in which each group of women responded to men, and what was considered a high response rate for women, black women did have what is considered a high response rate (for women) when it comes to black men and the lowest toward white men, whereas all other women had high response rates for white men.
While bm responded to bw more than white and non black men did, bm responded the
most to Asian women at 26.3%. And the response rate of 16.4% was considered a low response rate for men when compared to what was the highest response rate from men in this study.
Again, as a group men have a higher response to women than the reverse. according to this study as a percentage White men responded more to black Women than the reverse… yet their response rate was still considered low for men.
Black men responded to Asian women the most(at a higher percentage compared to how much they responded to black women and other women) which is what
@BigMan took issue with.
The graphic shows what percentage of people responded to a “yes,” based on the gender and ethnicity of both parties (the data are only for opposite-sex pairs of people). Unsurprisingly, most “yes’s” go unanswered, but there are patterns: For example, Asian women responded to white men who “yessed” them 7.8% of the time, more often than they responded to any other race. On the other hand, white men responded to black women 8.5% of the time—less often than for white, Latino, or Asian women. In general, men responded to women about three times as often as women responded to men.
AYI analyzed some 2.4 million heterosexual interactions—meaning every time a user clicked either “yes” or “skip”—to come up with these statistics. Its users skew older than Tinder’s—about two-thirds of AYI users are older than 35, according to a spokesperson.
