Literally have never heard the "East Asians are ugly" stereotype before. In fact, they're widely considered the most attractive Asians in pretty much every circle I've ever been in.
Perhaps it depends on where one lives? I've been bullied about my monolids and skin color. I've heard 'Oh gosh. I hate Asians. They're fucking ugly' I a variety of ways. It's surprising how creative they can get. O_O
This mainly applies to Asian guys. Many Asian women are seen as attractive in Western perspective. Asian guys are generally shorter, smaller, and skinny fat. As such, they are seen as less attractive compared to the other ethnicities in the West.
Honestly, kids are rather racist. They don't know any better. Like any other person, some people find it attractive, or repulsive. I don't think I've ever met another guy who outright found Asians ugly (I don't).
I would have to say all of the above. Personally I find that Asians are beautiful, sexy and loving people. I'm glad you are ok with your appearance now. If that is your pic, you are very attractive and sexy. A friend of mine always said this little saying when he saw a beautiful woman. "I wouldn't kick her out of bed if she farted". It's a bit crude but I agree with him. It means it doesn't matter what she does she is beautiful.
I don't have thoughts about Asian males at all other than being friends with them. When I was in college, I lived with a few of them (Korean-American, Japanese, French-Cambodian) - they were my buddies, so I moved in - and I became friends with their (Asian) friends. Not a problem at all. Besides, I am a New Yorker, so Chinese food (and Japanese food) are critical to my very existence. When I lived in LA, my buddy that I worked with was Korean American, so he took me to Koreatown where I first had Korean beef. My other buddy from LA, who is white but have Vietnamese friends, turned me on to pho (Vietnamese soup). I have to have that every week.
This is why America is great! Friends from all over the world here in the USA - some immigrants or children of immigrants - and we learn from each other sharing knowledge and culture... and eliminating ignorance and bigotry. Lord knows the Asian women that I so would have dated if I had the chance... (but they were dating other guys...)
Thank you for the insight! I am glad (even though I wasn't the inventor) you appreciate Asian culture! And haha, I believe you would have gotten a major bonus for the fact you dabbled in Asian culture and enjoyed it. Women love it when men enjoy their culture as much as they do.
Well, some white guys have "Yellow Fever" - they are obsessed with Asian women because in their minds they are thinking of traditional Asian culture in which Asian women are subservient to males.
Ah, I wasn't aware 'Yellow Fever' was a thing! Wow! I get what you're talking about. You see Asian women as equals to other races and don't see them as any uglier than them. Thank you for your input.
Thank you so much for the links! I learned so much from the two websites. It's kind of creepy to think about. But now I've gained insight on what to look out for. Thank you. ^-^
I always thought east Asians had the most beautiful features. If Americans make fun its pretty much always coming from a place of humor. They don't seriously think its unattractive.
A girl threatened to carve double-lids into my eyes if I didn't admit that 'I wished to be Asian'. I would say that's a big stretch. 😅 Or maybe this bullying was specifically being targeted towards me instead of the race? I honestly don't know.
I personally have never heard anyone say that they thought that. But I'm former military and military guys love ya all. So maybe it's just my perspective
I keep hearing this "Indians are considered the least attractive" thing, and I just can't wrap my head around it. Indian women are so gorgeous, those eyes just make me feel like melting, and their beautiful skin with a wide range of tones, all attractive in their own way. I can only think that the idea that these beautiful, very attractive people are considered unattractive has to be pure nonsense spread by a few misanthropes who just have a personal dislike and need to pretend like everyone else shares their idiotic views.
@BobSansMal I am Indian myself. I mean I can't deny that there are beautiful women of my race but they make up like around 30% of the whole population and these women mostly come from the Northern ancestor-Aryan Indian. Plus, almost everyone can't tell that these women are Indian, because they are already "immune" with the typical image of an Indian woman so any of us who looks different than that typical image will be assumed as Middle Eastern, Latina or Asian in some cases. I can understand why though. We are too diverse that people can't differentiate our ethnicity.
I honestly think that Indians are harder on themselves than they should be. I know about the premium put on lighter skin. I think that the darker skin is at least as beautiful. Plus... Indian food. But I don't want to get sidetracked on that deliciousness :-) I think my wife would have been considered, I dunno, medium-dark depending on how much time she spent outside. So I guess I'm not really a neutral observer here. But I think it's way way more than 30% I would consider beautiful.
@BobSansMal I'm glad you think that way but the majority of people don't. I didn't know your wife is Indian. I am sure she is a gorgeous lady who has a nice husband that appreciates her beauty 😊
@BobSansMal It seems like people's views of beauty changes in baby steps. One group at a time gets accepted for a lot of people. Eventually it will get to Indian people as more are seen in western movies, etc. but it has been slow moving which is sad.
Kids can be cruel to each other. I was made fun of for being really skinny and nerdy.
I am a white guy who has always found East Asian girls (when I was growing up) or women the most attractive in the world, and I was in Korea for a year.
I'm glad I had the experience. It was really cold in the winter but I did some great hiking and saw the sights in Seoul. I had a nice Korean girlfriend. Should have married her.
That's crazy talk! I really hope I meet a woman that is Asian. They're cute! I find them very polite and modest. Don't worry about what others say. Those are negative people who do not like themselves for some reason.
My adoption parents adopted 8 kid's including myself. I have an older sister who was from South 🇰🇷. Her name is Un-Hwa. She use to cook this Amazing dish. I can never pronounce it. He had all kinds of vegetables and some rice. My sister went through the samething you did. What she had done for herself was. She ignored what ignorant people had to say about her. She continued being what she wanted to be. She put herself out there. She went out for track. Got a scholarship and went to Wesleyan University. Graduated, got a degree for being a fitness trainer and now became a math teacher about five year's ago. You see, the point is. If you look what is ahead of you. You'll won't even notice who is trying to pull you down. My sister is a remarkable person and she found her husband and had two kids. She is very beautiful!
On what planet? I think Asians in general have some of the most beautiful women in the world. I’m American so so i don’t get the reference, East Asian women are particularly beautiful!!!
I speak from the heart. And Asian women to me are the picture of feminine beauty. I’ll probably get raked over the coals for encouragement of fetishizing Asian women, but for me they are just beautiful.
i call it ignorant white people try n make you feel inferior because they’re actually inferior. i actually think east Asians are gorgeous, i mean along with all other races. but like really y’all pretty
East Asians are very exotic to me, and like every other race or ethnicity, not every woman is one I'll find attractive, but East Asian women are very attractive.
Wow! I'm relieved that our faces are perceived as an attractiveness to be envied, like others. All these comments are making me feel much better about choosing to love my appearance.
I’m sorry you have experienced racism in your past. That’s all it is. Asian women are no less beautiful than women all over the world. If I had a chance with you I would be ecstatic
I don't really know anything about this subject, as I have never dated, but I would say many women prefer the company of a man who can handle himself. However, it comes down to individual preference.

I don't think they are at all.

I've seen lots of pretty East Asians. I have East Asian friends here, and I've spent a little time in East Asia, so I've seen a good sampling.
Oh, lucky! I have never visited anywhere outside the US.
God no! You aren't ugly at all. I mean, geez, if East Asians were ugly, why are there so many of them? No, you women are beautiful...
Ah, I'm glad we are seen as beautiful. However, how are your thoughts on the Asian males in general? I wonder if it equates?
I don't have thoughts about Asian males at all other than being friends with them.

It turns out that some Asian women have "White Fever" for white guys too!
Oh gosh, there's more? 😂
I just learned that one, but it doesn't surprise me.

Goodness gracious. They're equally terrible 😅
East Asian ladies are among the most beautiful in the world. I guess, the comments towards you have been made out of jealousy.
Ah, that's so nice of you to say!
And I mean it.
I always thought east Asians had the most beautiful features. If Americans make fun its pretty much always coming from a place of humor. They don't seriously think its unattractive.

yeah that's messed up. That kind of bullying is not what I'm talking about that girl sounds pure evil
Ah, sure glad that's over 😅

No, East Asians are considered as attractive in the west. Indians are the least attractive ones to almost everyone.

Honestly, I've never heard that, even from people who made it clear they had no interest in East Asians as partners.
What paradise did you grow up in? ;-; I wish my childhood wasn't ruined because of insults pointed towards my eye shape and skin color.
Kids can be cruel to each other. I was made fun of for being really skinny and nerdy.
I am a white guy who has always found East Asian girls (when I was growing up) or women the most attractive in the world, and I was in Korea for a year.
Were you an adoptee?
I wasn't an adoptee, but I grew up in a rough place. And wow! Korea for a year? How was it?
I'm glad I had the experience. It was really cold in the winter but I did some great hiking and saw the sights in Seoul. I had a nice Korean girlfriend. Should have married her.
Aaaw, did something happen that prevented you from doing so?
I was only 23 at the time and certainly didn't feel ready for marriage
Aah~ that makes sense. I doubt I would even be close to ready at that age since I haven't even started dating. ;-;
Most people aren't at that age
Which is completely understandable. ^-^ Though my parents got married at age 23 O_O. Me? No way 😂
Very wise of you
They aren't. Is that Song Hye Kyo? She's beautiful.
Yes, this is Song HyeKyo! 😁
Why that emoji lol
Oh, I thought it was a smiley. I was glad someone recognized her.
Ah 👍

gosh thats really not true at all... i myself think most east Asian women are attractive and im sure im not the only one
It's mostly jealousy, eastern Asian women for the most part, are not even remotely close to being ugly.
Wow! I'm relieved that our faces are perceived as an attractiveness to be envied, like others. All these comments are making me feel much better about choosing to love my appearance.
I’m sorry you have experienced racism in your past. That’s all it is. Asian women are no less beautiful than women all over the world. If I had a chance with you I would be ecstatic
Oh the flattery! That's so nice of you to say. It's sad that society hasn't exactly gotten over racism. May be because they are scared of difference.
You’re welcome. I’ve heard that some Asian women prefer the company of a mature man
I don't really know anything about this subject, as I have never dated, but I would say many women prefer the company of a man who can handle himself. However, it comes down to individual preference.
i would welcome the opportunity to take you out on a date
Thank you for the offer, but I am not looking to date anyone at the moment.
I’m in USA South Carolina
