Alright, but just something to think about, Wanda…
you say “lighter skin tone” and “darker skin tone” rather then black and white… is everyone in your group black, but with different skin tones, or do you have different races in your group? (Yes of course I am aware that there are other “races” besides black and white, but Middle Easterns, Native Americans, and dark-skinned Mexicans tend to have less variety in skin tone then black people, and Asian and “light-skinned Mexicans” have “white” skin).
The second thing to think about, if you do have different races, is the personality of these people… are there all different types of personalites among all the different races in your group? Or do the black people in your group tend to have one type of behavior while the white people in your group have another type of behavior, and the other races in you group have more different types of behavior? What I am saying in this paragraph (if you even understood it) obvioulsy does not happen this concretely within the larger group of American society, however if the mixed-race group of people you tested on has racial divisions like this, then it may still be possible that it is not race but rather personality which determines how a pheromone will affect a particular person.
Of course if everyone in your grop is of the same race but with different skintones, or if everyone in your group has the same “type” of personality, then the idea I just mentioned does not nneed to be factored in.
Mods, I guess this post might seem offensive to some people, but I am not trying to imply that all people of a certain race act a certain way or anything of the like (I don’t even belive that, actually), but sometimes these divsions do occur, especially in medium-sized groups (groupd of maybe 30? I dont know), and if they do then scientifically the question about it being personality rather then race that determines this would need to be considered. (“Personality” may include things such as whether you view sex as loving, playful, purely sexual within relationships, or full out “playa” idea about it. It may have to do with whether you are an authoritarian, or whether you are a cuddly person with family. It would not nhowever ahve to do with specific political views, such as gun control. Basically any personality trait that a pheromone can affect, would affect someone with a different “version” of that trait in a different way (most easily explained by the sex exampleas, a sex pheromone would affect each of these types in a different way, and that much we already know is true), with the theory I am proposing. So if the divisions do exist I feel it should be considered as a possibility when recording their effects vs. people ‘types’ (whether ‘type’ is personality, race, gender, sexual orientation, or something else).)
