*Black men are more extroverted and emotionally stable on average than White men, which seems to be a personality profile associated with mating success. However, such racial differences in the Big Five personality traits seem small and potentially not reliable.<ref>https://www.people.vcu.edu/~mamcdani/Publications/AOM_as_of_8%201%202008.pdf</ref>
*Stereotypes and some personality research indicates that Black men are more extroverted and emotionally stable on average than White men, which seems to be a personality profile associated with mating success. However, such racial differences in the Big Five personality traits seem small and potentially not reliable. <ref>https://www.people.vcu.edu/~mamcdani/Publications/AOM_as_of_8%201%202008.pdf</ref> This may be due to the general low validity of self-report personality and group comparison bias, however.
*Men of African descent tend to be muscular<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6107384/</ref> and superior at certain athletic abilities on average,<ref>https://www.aei.org/articles/what-makes-a-great-olympian-sometimes-its-genetics/</ref> which may be the reason why Black men are over-represented compared to men of other races in certain prestige team sports in multiracial countries like the US.<ref>https://www.thestranger.com/sports/2017/09/25/25432524/why-the-over-representation-of-black-americans-in-professional-sports-is-not-a-good-thing</ref> Both of these traits typically desired by women.

*A survey of a sample of self-reported sex-workers on Amazon's MTurk platform found that the subjects rated Black men as being the most the most sexually skilled race of men, while East Asians & South Asians were evaluated as being the sexually worse performing ethnicities.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371701597_Racial_Differences_in_Sexuality_A_Sex_Worker_Survey p. 690</ref> This is despite the fact that the prostitutes evaluated Black men as being more likely to be impolite compared to other races overall, suggesting they weren't perceived as more likable overall. However, the women in this study ultimately preferred White men as clients over Black men, even when controlling for ethnocentric bias.<ref>''ibid'', p. 691</ref> This may indicate that Black men are considered particularly sexually desirable when it comes to no-strings attached sex, at least among fast life strategy/promiscuous women. Part of the women's high evaluation of the sexual potency of Black men may also be explained by Black men's apparent higher sexual stamina, as Black men were less likely to ejaculate quickly than other races of men according to the prostitute's reports.<ref>''ibid'', p. 689</ref><br>Black men's reported longer ejaculation latency, however, may be explained by higher sexual experience/specific experience with sex workers among black men.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023|reason=In the article they say Black men are more likely to visit prostitutes}} Anecdotal reports from sex workers depict Black men as being more sexually aggressive and less romantic than other groups of men on average (leading some to avoid them as clients),<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224499.2020.1830260 p. 6</ref> which may actually be desired by such women in particular (and perhaps women in general, as suggested by female pornography preferences).<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886919303204 p.45</ref><br>However, the authors of the Amazon Turk sex worker study left open the possible that ascertainment bias affected the results.
