So yesterday I had some of you take a survey for a research project that I'm doing. I'm looking at how white standards of beauty are being perpetuated by magazines (such as favoring light-skinned WOC -- who are closer to the white beauty ideal -- over dark-skinned WOC, excluding non-white people altogether, etc.) and what effect this has on women. I got a little over 500 responses, but then I had to delete a few, and I ended up with exactly 500. Some of you wanted to see the results of the survey and so I've compiled it into one post. Here are the results:

I want to live in your dream world.
y'all really think J.Law is that attractive? she's cute, but other people on that list are much more attractive. but it's your opinion so whatever.
someone get me the contact # for Britney's dentist pls
I have no idea about anything regarding what to get for my teeth, actually! I just want it straightened out and whiter :(
I got mine done at a dental school and it was far less expensive than a dental office.
i have straight teeth but i don't like their shape. when i am salaried ima fix em.

Dental work is so fucking expensive so I could never and would never judge anyone who has a bad smile. I'm $10,000 in w/o insurance and I still need two (at least) veneers.
With all that being said, I'd like to give a huge shout out to my oral surgeon who hooked me up with free anesthesia and some awesome payment arrangements.
Angie is my queen though I'd love to have seen Lucy on there as well as Thandi and Bipasha, oh, and Sarah Shahi.
I hate how w,, as women, never feel to be enough tho.
Thanks for posting the results!
I'd love to be able to check off 'no' but then I decided to really be truthful with myself.
OP, we're curious how you pitched this survey to people and what it all said. I'd think you to be smarter than wording it and pitching it to people in a way that would be trying for specific answers or giving away WHAT you were testing for.
I mean, he's sexy as hell and I'm not mad, but it's the truth.

I didn't say specifically what the survey was about when I had people take it. But I'm sure people were smart enough to maybe figure out what I was doing based on the type of questions I was asking.

He's one of the few ONTD faves that is genuinely sexually attractive and looks like he has sex.
A lot of them are asexual, awkward weirdos.
I think that the men are still attractive but maybe there was a lot of ONTD answering the way they thought they needed to answer.
lol at jennifer lawrence on the #1 spot and hiddleston being included in this thing
She's a lovely person but bland looking.
