On average, are East Asian women (Korean, Japanese, Chinese) more obsessed with being very skinny compared to women of other races and nationalities?

I mean, it's okay to be regular skinny, but many Korean women, Japanese women, Chinese women I met are often so skinny and underweight that they literally look like SKELETONS! As far as I know, 45kg is ideal weight for many Korean women, Japanese women, Chinese women regardless of height. I suspect it's because many Korean women, Japanese women, Chinese women have intense desire to be rail thin. I think it's partially due to the fact that South Korea Japan China are highly developed countries compared to many other Asian countries. This will probably affect to daily lifestyle, references, way of thinking and even way of living. Fashion brands there have also been growing that it shifts how people dress, how people style themselves, and how people will prefer what kind of look they want to have, and perhaps one of them is being very skinny.

Anyways, its true many East Asian women want want that unattainable model body without realizing models are essentially alien beings compared to us regulars. So they resort to poor dieting practices and still believe working out makes women bulky. They care about how their face looks while neglecting other parts of their body.

We are thin but we are not like skeletons. We eat and we do a lot of exercise. Last time I was weight less than 45 kg was probably 10 years ago. Girls in China are more likely to have the most body image anxiety. Because their population is too large. The competition is so raw and bloody.

Because their beauty standards are high and still makes sense. some other races called fat body as fit and obese as plus size. That’s just insane...

Every Asian woman I dated weighed less than half of me and ate 3 times as much as I ate. Most were actually trying to gain weight because they thought it would make their boobs bigger.

Cultural beauty standards do vary significantly across different regions and societies. In East Asia, particularly in countries like South Korea, Japan, and China, there is often an emphasis on slim physiques. Media portrayal, cultural norms, and fashion trends can influence these ideals immensely. However, not all women in these countries aspire to or conform to these standards, as preferences and perceptions can differ widely among individuals. It's also worth considering that the perception of body image is a complex topic influenced by various factors, including self-esteem, education, and personal values. It's important to approach this subject with sensitivity and understanding of its complex nature.

Chinese people are skinny because of their diet which produces chemical reactions that boost metabolism. I always lost weight when I vacationed in China and I ate generous portions of food there. No scientist is advanced enough to explain why the Chinese diet makes you skinny, it's just the overwhelming visual evidence that the Chinese diet make you lose weight.
