I THINK I understand the idea behind social status/social proof (actually all I understand is it's important as far as getting a woman. I really don't understand why its so important to women though).
But explain how this jives with the social status thing: how come for every white m/black f couple you see, there's maybe 50 white f/black m couples? I personally could care less what color anyone is, a$$holes come in all colors and so do cool people. But you can't tell me that it never raises any eyebrows among a white girl's friends when she first starts dating a black guy. Doesn't that mean it could hurt this guy's value as far as social status?
My dad said he saw someone on tv say that the reason you see so many more white f/black m couples than white m/black f couples is because MEN are more concerned with what others think of their partner than women are! Which of course flies in the face of the social proof thing (I think). Anyone have an answer to this?
