Asian Girls and White Guys?

[Bosh]

Again, to add to Alinestra's point . . . i totally agree. When discussing girls with some of my co-workers (asian girls) they often have much different taste in which girls are hot than us foreign folk. this pertains only to asian girls though, they still have pretty much the same taste in judging western looking girls.

Yeah definately. Koreans find high cheekbones unattractive for example. Also they have very different taste in male attractive men they prefer thin, thin-jawed baby-faced types. My predecessor liked teasing girls about how the celebrities they had crushes on looked like girls. This helps me a little bit since a really long face and one of the least-square chins on earth (but then don't have even a remotely baby face and have fairly broad shoulders so maybe I'm just imaginng things)...

All the Japanese male idols on TV are homo-gay metrosexuals. Ick...

Same here.

It seems to be standard that many plain white guys who don't have a chance in hell of landing a hot white woman never the less find smokingly hot Asian women who are willing to date them. My question is why?

Slightly different beauty standards on both ends and then some of us white guys are just wonderful kind people who deserve beautiful women

Michelle Yoh is not considered attractive over here. Rosamund Kwan is.

And didn't find that pic very attractive at all, just like the rest of the whities

Thank god my baby blues balance things out...

Looks like I need to start carrying an umbrella around to keep the sun off me. Or just casually let the painfully white portion of my farmer tan into view.

I don't really know what Asians look for in an attractive women, but I can definitely say that their taste in men is horrendous, at least in Japan. All the Japanese male idols on TV are homo-gay metrosexuals. Ick...

japanese are into the whole punk fashion unlike rest of asia. That makes them have really weird/"unique" sense of fashion on preference compared to rest of asia IMO

The gay-looking idols on TV here aren't punk at all. There's plenty of punk kids around, but they don't seem to represent mainstream tastes at all.

True to stereotype, I find Michelle Yeoh to be very sexy. Ms. Kwan, on the other hand, does nothing for me.

Yes, they do go for the "pretty boy" look. You can't tell if they are male or female.

So true, but I think teenage girls everywhere go for young, androgynous males. Older women tend to prefer craggier, more masculine-appearing guys.

Another part of the explanation is that Asia in general is not poisoned by the machismo that so corrupts western thinking and behavior. In China, a man is not necessarily admired for his bushy mustache, bulging muscles, or the gun rack in his truck, but perhaps instead for his handwriting or intellect.

More and more of that in China. Spikey, colored hair is not unusual in Shanghai, and tattoos are becoming very cool. Very many young guys now have pierced ears, and I have started to see other piercings around town.

In this, as in so many other things fashion-related, the Chinese tend to take their cues from Japan and Korea (eg. long, long, pointy shoes).

I dunno whats worse. being corrupted by western influence of machismo that affects your appearance to be certain way or corrupt eastern influence of machismo that affects your behavior to be certain way.

Stereotypical western view on male behavior is nothign compared to east.

its also getting more of that in korea too. I have seen pictures from korean friends. But japan more so than the three countries. korea tries to emulate hiphop culture and fashion from US more so than japan, but japan still has an influence just so cause theyre so close..

That too.

Otherwise, I would have no takers.
