Personally I prefer Asian women over white women I especially love the Japanese especially since I can actually talk to them. Only know 3 words in Chinese and 1 in Korean but I can get myself around in japan easily
It can be hard to explain things like 'small face', but you hit the nail on the head!
Actually, I still don't know how to explain small face.
Lol. I don't even know the measurements :D
Ah, and where are my manners - thank you!
Haha very welcome ^^
There was a comment here that said East Asian men like women with massive jawlines.
Massive jawline? Haha they like small jaws that are well defined. The 'V-shaped face' look is quite popular because that is what guys admire in Asia.
Yeah. That's why I can't believe he said that. Lol.
As an East Asian I always wanted bigger eyes 😂😂 I don't like my mono eyelid
Hey. Mono eyelid is becoming more and more popular! Don't change it!
Change it? how can it be changed lol
@AkshiJanjua plastic surgery
what? is that possible with plastic surgery?
@AkshiJanjua yup
Lol Akshi did you just out of the jungle? Lmao
@UnknownGagsUser You phrased it perfectly :D
lol yeah i live with Mowgli 😆
Same. Me too.
@saeyamazaki You have wonderful eyes!
Hahah thank you @dantetheexplorer
The weight is fake. I'm Korean and many agencies admitted deflating weight by like 5kg and height by about 5cm
That is true. It's because everyone is desperate to not hit the 50 kg mark. Although, judging from the ribs I can see on some of them, some of them really might be quite light.
Wow that was an interesting mytake on Beaty standards there , they seem more strict than here actually
To me, it does appears to be so, especially with weight.
I can't deny they are indeed pretty attractive, but I do wonder how much girls may suffer since child ages to feel they are accepted. Maybe these are the main reasons why there's not a lot of fat or even chubby girls.
I wonder whats the % of Asian teens hurting themselves (from the big cities) , or even young suicides, compared with eu or us.
Oh. I know this only too well.
Suicide rates in East Asia are high. Higher than in the West, definitely.
I don't have the numbers with me, but when I previously saw the numbers, the difference was very marked and obvious.
Socio-cultural factors play a huge role in suicides in East Asian countries.
For example, if you can't get into a good school because your grades are just not good enough, many people might consider that as you, the individual, bringing shame down upon your family.
If you're a man, and you lose your job, and you can't feed your family, that's also bringing shame down upon both you and your family.
There are so many socio-cultural factors that can lead people to suicide.
O man... They really need to chill a bit 😔
I'm assuming you are an Asian living in the US, is this pressure the reason why you left your home culture?
I have always lived in other countries. I can't really say there's one specific factor. I do love living and working in other countries - I love understanding different cultures!
But, obviously, there are certain things about East Asian culture that I am not especially fond of.
The socio-cultural reasons I mentioned above is one of these things.
Then there's the social hierarchy as well - where you have to be able to quickly ascertain who is older than you, who is more senior than you, (and the opposite, who is younger than you, who is your junior), and then use the proper language to reflect that difference in stature.
Do you feel the new Asian generations (specially the poorer ones) are more open to get out from Japan or Korea?
Realistically, only those who are somewhat educated and somewhat well-off can choose that route.
You have to have a certain education and be at a certain financial level to move to another country.
From my personal observations, more Japanese compared to Koreans tend to return to their homeland, once they've spent a bit of time overseas. I'm currently not sure why though. I do consider South Korea to a be more conservative country than Japan, so maybe that has a role to play in the decision on whether to return home or not.
Maybe we can point out Japanese education as a factor. I might be ignorant about it, but I think it fails at creating autonomous citizens (they deciding and planning by their own)?
Personally, I don't think it's the education level. Many Japanese are highly educated - you have to be if you want to make anything out of yourself. I don't think there's any difference in terms of pure academic rigor in China, South Korea, and Japan.
I think it might have something to do with Japan's economy being the third strongest in the world. It ranks third, behind the US and China. I think if there are more jobs back home, you're more likely to head back.
Do you know if foreigner could be classify as beautiful or are they just interested in the same race?
Of course! The younger generation especially, because they know more about the world - and many of the young generation LOVE traveling!
In my experience, as long as the "foreigner" (I don't like to use this word, but unfortunately, it's commonly used in East Asia) comes close to the beauty standards mentioned above ( big eyes, milky/porcelain skin, small face, general body shape, etc.) they can easily be considered beautiful.
Obviously some trends aren't beauty trends in East Asia. For example, the US' current obsession with "thicc" (having a big behind) is not a beauty standard in East Asia.
I´m skinny (50kg), my waist is tiny, I have a baby face, white skin and double litted eyes. I even heard that some Asian like blonde hair so I was wondering if I would match the beauty standard.
I'm just one person so I wouldn't ever dare say that my opinion represents that of everyone in the region, but, if you put a gun to my head and asked me to name one non-Asian female celebrity that many East Asians do find attractive, I would say Emma Watson.
Maybe young Anne Hathaway and Chloe Moretz.
I think it also depends on the make-up. Like, for example, I think many find Taylor Swift's style of make-up quite old-fashioned.
This is just my opinion!
I don´t wear make up.
I think you could do well ^_^
Chinese and Korean have similarities but comparable.
While they like following these standards, it isn't a must. They are not required to follow them. Every person should desire to set their own standard in what they like and not chase after what is popular.
The height caught me way off guard. That's interesting to know.
Yeah it isn’t the impression I had at all I thought everything was cute and little.
It was only when I came to the States did I realize that a lot of American men preferred short girls, and that it was a different beauty standard than what I am used to. It's great to learn new things!
I really like Asians mono eyelids. I love it because I think it’s attractive and idc what anyone says.
Same I love it and I think it’s so sad how much they get surgery
Their beauty standards aren't as strict as the west. For example, Western women praise the importance of height in their partners, but it is not really a big deal for east Asian standards. And in regards to weight, western women are more likely to put on more weight than eastern women.
I feel fat by these standards and ugly lol
No worries, most of us don't achieve the "ideal look"!
It's unrealistic exactly because it is the ideal.
If we all looked like the ideal, the beauty industry wouldn't be where it is today!
I don't know if I meet ideal in India or UK lol I think I don't
Well, most people don't.
But we continue living our lives anyway.
Looks is just one facet about ourselves.
Let us just enjoy life and live a meaningful, substantial life!
:-) thanks
You're very welcome!
Some of these match with the beauty standards in my country.
I'm sure this is just a thin excuse to post pics of hot Asian chicks but I'm okay with that.
I'm getting sick of other people shoving down what I think should be considered beauty.
I like what I like, fuck off.
Not you, though, I'm just saying.
The only girl I thought I was pretty in the whole take was the one that’s considered pretty for Asians in America so I guess we know what we’re talking about 😂
Ur my takes are great
I will never fit Asian standards though lol the only thing I could meet is the 110 pounds or lower
In Asia how much should someone who is 5'1 weigh?
I don't think there is a "should" weight for any height. It comes down to the individual and the general body shape. I can't think of many female celebrities who stand at 5'1".
Let me think...
Maybe Sunny of SNSD? Obviously, as some posters here have mentioned, the "official" height and weight as published by the various agencies could be different from reality.
But Sunny's official height and weight are 1.55 m (5'1") and 47 kg (103 lbs).
However, at 30 years of age, she is a lot older than you, so it could very well be that she's heavier than you.
At the end of the day, the number of people who don't meet these narrow, restrictive beauty standards is legion. So, there's no point worrying or stressing about it! It's just something to study and observe.
I don't know the other two you mentioned, but I don't think Lucy Liu is exceptionally attractive for an Asian woman.
I prefer the Asian American look.
Because I'm half Hispanic, I use to look more Hispanic than Asian as a kid then my mom's (Half Chinese) DNA in me got stronger which made me glad. I always wanted to look more Asian but not Asian Asian... I'm talking about Asian American. Just glad my naturally curly hair made up for it.
Thanks for sharing, Aiko!!!
