I've been reading thru some other posts in other threads and it caught my curiousity. I'm half korean and I've asked guys that I've dated what they've found so attractive in asian women and I've gotten a million reasons...but I'm curious to get some outsider points of views....

I understand that everyone is entitled to free speech...but I ask that anyone who is here to bash/flame or who is racist...to please refrain from doing so...this thread was posted for my curiosity and for fun...not for your ignorance and rudeness so I would greatly appreciate you refraining from using any rude or racial remarks...Thank You. :D

Honestly, I don't know. I simply find them to be more attractive. I find their face to be sweeter for one thing, and the face is my favorite physical feature of the body (if I had to choose one). But honestly, it all comes down to: I just do.

You know, I see quite a fair few Asian girls in the UK (and I make a point of saying girls) who'll misguidedly bleach their hair blond, and stick blue contacts in... when I'd be aching to tell them that they're covering up the most beautiful aspects of themselves.

Natural beauty is a wonderful thing.

Goed...I think you posted on the inter-racial marriage thread....that's what got me going on the asian chick thing... I'm not saying it's a bad thing that guys do...it's just a curiousity thing. Some guys say it's a sexual thing, some guys say it's an appearance thing, some guys say it's a cultural thing...

thank you for taking the time for your input.. ;)

Oh, I never assumed it would be a bad thing hehe. I don't put too much stock into culture when looking at girls, so that's a no...I'm really not much of a sexual person-I'm much more of a sensual one, so that's also a no...guess it comes down to appearence :p

Cyberous.. I'm soon to be 29 so I can't call myself a girl anymore.. :( lol but, I have to say...I was guilty of the colored contact thing....I wanted green contacts like the chick in Big Trouble in Little China..don't know if you've seen that movie. Chinese chick w/ emerald green eyes...amazing... ;) I settled for blue cause the green didn't show...it looked weird...I looked like a wolf(no blond hair though) My father was stationed in Vietnam during the Vietnam war and told me about the french vietnamese and has told me they have natural blond hair and are very beautiful...i've never seen them, so I don't know.

I agree w/ you, natural beaty is a wonderful thing, but most of them change their looks because they want to be accepted....does that make sense?

There's nothing wrong w/ that.. ;) My dad married my mom for that reason...along for many other reasons...and he's got one of the largest asian doll collections in the world...lol ;) We'll just have to get ya into the military and send ya over to Korea, Japan or China and set ya loose...LOL ;)

Well thats just indictive of the friends people keep if you have to change your whole being on the outside to look more westernised. I do understand why people would do it, I mean its a very teenage thing to do.

I just think that most people are just 'adding on' or covering up something that is already naturally very beautiful. Once people grow up and into ther own skins, they shouldn't really need to do it anymore.

(btw yes I know the actress you are talking about, but I'm sure she looks as beautiful without the contacts too :)

Probably the Asian facial type seems more demure and feminine- European men aren't so good at picking up features that are more 'masculine' in Asian women than Europeans, giving the impression of 'perfect' femininity in Asian women. I'm bisexual and can say I like Asian women, but prefer Asian men- though I wouldn't mind an Asian woman with a strap on(Or an M2F pre-op).

Cyberous....this is completely off the subject on this thread...but since i started it...i thought, hell, i can do it...thank you for what you said in the thread about children. I wasn't too comfortable about continuing on and on in that thread..so thank you for your condolences. About parenting....I will tell you, I'm spoiled..I'm used to coming and going when I want...going out when i wanted, staying out til 5am...or not coming home at all..spending my money how I wanted...blah blah blah...I work for my money..payed my bills and did what I wanted...having a child changes that...there is never a perfect time to have a child....if you try to save money...you'll never have enough...so on and so forth...my parents were there and i've been fortunate...but my parents are also alot older. I'm 28, they're 61 and 70. I live an hour from them but they were willing to help out w/ childcare so I was fortunate there. Reading the books does not help, instinct is always best and learning from your mistakes...but my son only lived one day....so it was my reality check if you know what I mean....I wasn't prepared for any of it...but if I were to have another child...I'm more prepared now then I will ever be...

Thank you again for your sympathy...

I'm sorry for getting off the thread... :(

Asian w/ a strap-on=TROUBLE...lol ;)

asians do tend to be built "smaller"...both male and female
gee...my mother is like 4'11'' and weighs like 95lbs...when the winds blows..we have to hold her down to make sure the wind doesn't take her away....lol ;)

i'm not bi.... but i find asian women to be more appealing then asian men... but i like white guys and don't find many white women very attractive...i hope that doesn't come across as being mean cause i don't mean it that way....

They do seem to have a rather youthful look; in my experience, they almost always look at least a few years younger than they are (or perhaps I just suck at guessing age?).

To be honest, I much prefer white women when they have some masculine element about them. I do sometimes find Asian men a little too feminine, I like a little muscle mass on a man, and being uke to 50Kg seme seems a little weird since I weigh something like 94-98Kg.

You probably just suck at guessing age for Asians, but if you get to know more Asians, you'll probably get better at it. I'm presuming you're white, or at least non-asian?

Ok, I'm sorry, now back to what you were saying....

a hundred years ago, when I was a teenager I was guilty of trying to fit in...being of a mixed culture...half korean/half white(german,irish,dutch)..I wanted so much to fit in w/ my friends cause all my friend were white. Granted I grew up next to the AF Base...I had mixed friends but a majority of my friends were white and I was still picked on...and I wanted to be white...and I got asked all sorts of stupid questions when I was 16-18 yrs old by the guys on base about stuff they had seen overseas while stationed in the Orient..like if i could cut up 1inch chunks of bananas using the pc muscles "down there"(don't know if i'll get in trouble for using the "other"word"} or if i could give exact change for a dollar of quarters doing the same thing....stupid things like that...so I was ashamed of things like that...because I had slanted eyes meant that I was automatically associated w/ things like that..... Now that I'm older, I've comed to embrace my culture and want to learn more about it...my mother has taught me more and I'd like to take a trip back there someday(I was born there and then my dad was stationed back here).

My fiance now says his philosophy on the fascination w/ asian women comes from way back when the Orient was closed to the world...when it was a mystery to everyone..so it stirred curiousity in men...and when things were imported from there, things were packed w/ papers printed w/ Japanese prints of concubines w/ strong sexual powers(i don't mean like superman powers)and that's what men saw....

thanks for your input too... ;)

can i ask a dumb question and you don't have to answer if you don't want to...are you M or F? and the Kg would normally give it away....but in the US we don't use that system...and I could probably look it up...but it's 4:15am..and I should be dragging myself to bed..but I'm having a hard time sleeping so here I am on this thread....so please don't be offended that I asked that question... :)

so it's because of things like....being able to talk about baseball, the military, politics, work, your interests, her interests, your culture, her culture....that's cool.... Right now I'm teaching my fiance's friends how to cook Korean food...and him and I are debating over white supremacy groups cause I don't seem to understand them...

Definitly, definitly. That's another thing, I like being able to learn something from my partner. I dated this Japanese girl once, and it was like a total cultural exchange. :D
What I mean is, we learned about one anothers' religions, history, language, food, art, etc, etc. That was most probably the most fullfilling relationship I've ever been in.

That's really cool...it really is.. My fiance is white....and this may sound childish...but i get excited every time I get to share something new with him. My mother made a Korean dish for dinner the other night when we went to her house...something he hadn't had before...and I was excited that he got to try it. I'm half korean/half white....growing up that way, I've had to live w/ two different cultures so it was neat having to learn two different cultures...

When I met my fiance, he was amazed at how much I knew about art, the NY Yankees, the Air Force, how much i hate politics, history, etc, etc.

So, I think it's way cool that you find it that it was your most fulfilling relationship....kudos to you...thanks for your input.. :D

please dont be offended by this question, just I've always been curious...
what do you consider 'asian'?

for me, it seems to mean oriental.. japanese, chinese etc...
some people include india/indians in the asian group... but I'm not sure I would... for me it's a different image...


I'm mixed race myslef, mum's white, father's not (of indian descent, via mauritius). I've grown up in the UK in very white societies, and have never felt the need to change to 'fit in', no-one has ever made me feel different.
now, my bf, whose parents are both form india, is making me feel on the outside... which, yes I am in a way, I wasnt braught up in the culture he was, but it's now that my physical image is being scruitnised... it's a wierd situation for me to be in...

Well... Asian women are very petite and simple. I don't necessarily look for Asian women, but I've found coincidently that's all that I end up with. While many American women try to put on lots of makeup and increase their chest size, Asian women remain natural and normal. I like that characteristic in women and maybe that's why many of my gf's have been Asian. :)

I agree with what someone said way back at the start of the post, asian girls often have very attractive faces, which is very important to me. Also Rotsonne is right, Asian women remain natural, and have lots of natural beauty.

23-08-2004, 10:40
I believe that much of the attraction to Asian women is because they often look more innocent, and perhaps naive. This can for example be illustrated (although exaggerated) in Manga-style drawings. I'm not saying that this (EDIT: i.e. the innosense/naivity part ;)) is true, or that it is a consious consideration by men who are attracted to Asian women.

Another possible reason could be that there are less Asian women in western societies, and just like with anything else (not trying to objectify here ;)), if it's rare, the 'value' is higher.


A third possibility, although somewhat less intelligent sounding (;)) could be, that Asians are often easier to get drunk, because they have some genetical defect which makes it more difficult for the body to break down alcohol.

I'm sorry...my clarification on this....Asian refers to people....I mean like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.....to say Oriental refers to objects like foods and rugs... I'm not excluded anybody... and if his family make you feel horrible about who you are....then those are things you need to discuss w/ your b/f and if things don't get better....then maybe things weren't meant to be....there will always be someone out there who will love you just the way you are.. ;)

ok...i have to agree w/ you on your first two points... I have studied alot of asian design...japanese paintings/prints...korean paintings..

BUT...I HAVE TO DISAGREE W/ STATEMENT 3....where in the world did you find this? I bet I could drink you under the table. The genetic defect that has been found in "most" asians are that they are lactose intolerant.....OH NO...they can't drink milk....I don't know how many asian girls can be taken advantage of after a few glasses of milk.....

The relevant part: Alcohol Intolerance

Professor Yoshi Sakaki, the new president of the Human Genome Organisation, says that certain conditions are only found in Asia.

"For example, some Orientals can't drink alcohol because they have a genetic defect in alcohol dehydrogenase (the enzyme that breaks it down), but in Caucasians I think no one has such a mutation.

"So, Orientals are very susceptible to alcohol but Caucasians are not."

That, mixed into the fact that some (i could probably get away with going as far as saying most) asian chics follow thier family and national traditions, and i love thatm (call me old fashion but w/e, i appreciate a respect for tradition. It shows that you have values and you are proud of your family and/or nation, and im exactly the same way). So thats a total turn on for me.

So yea, they are naturally beautiful, inside and out. I would take an asian chick if i had one anyday. (Kelly, if you end up readin this, im totally satisfied with you babe, dont worry ;))

anything that isnt white/blonde/blue eyed is seen as more attractive these days
Look at the music charts for a start... most of the artists there arent white, the ones who are are trying to bring out the non-whiteness in thier heritage...

but asian women in particular, usually do have this very sweet charming look about them... the quiet woman who will do as she's told, almost...
maybe it's something hardwired in men from the days when they had the power in a relationship...
most western women now are potentially as financially powerful and as educated as any man...
the asian woman is someone He can look after, provide for etc...

perhaps....
maybe not....

It's funny that you bring up about following family and national traditions. I was talking to someone in previous post and we got talking about how asians tend to isolate themselves....and in a sense they do...and they preserve their traditions and customs in society. Like where I live...they have a Korean church and they all meet every so often and the younger Koreans cook and take care of the older Koreans. Most of them don't stick their elders in nursing homes either....the younger take care of their elders. Some of my mother's friends (Loas,Vietnam)who have family that live back in there, work here and send money back there to take care of their families. It's amazing to me how much family means to them.

maybe it's something hardwired in men from the days when they had the power in a relationship...
most western women now are potentially as financially powerful and as educated as any man...
the asian woman is someone He can look after, provide for etc...

perhaps....
maybe not....

First-off, I must say that I'm a Singaporean, and...from my point of view, yes, I do find Asian girls attractive. (Trust me, I've had crushes on my classmates...:P Still nursing one. :D) Seriously, I don't know why, or how to put it in concrete words why Asian girls may be attractive to some, but yes, we're a little tradition-bound and stuff, and perhaps its just the exotic factor *shrugs*

Oh, and I agree that it is exaggerated in manga/anime (The BESM - Big Eyes Small Mouth thingy, but I, for one, am a manga and anime fan too. :P)

You are right... You should never change yourself to make someone else happy unless you are unhappy w/ yourself. But only change yourself to make yourself happy. And never try to change someone to what you want them to be...cause it will NEVER happen. I mean if you have to change you for someone else, you're not gonna be happy. You make perfect sense.. ;) But if his parents aren't open-minded enough to accept you and that makes life hard for the both of you...that's something both of you have to work out...is your love strong enough to endure that for the years to come?

my mum's mum didnt approve of her marriage to my father, so I can imagine how hard it was for my mum to go back to her parents when the marriage fell apart.
I dont want that to happen to me. tho I'm sure my mum will be fine, she likes my bf :)
and I guess not being brought up with the asian background of family being all important (tho, yes my family are important to me) it doesnt bother me so much if someone I am friends with/want to marry/whatever doesnt fit their expectations spot on.
maybe it's cos I've grown up knowing that although you want something, doesnt mean it's gonna happen...
my bf's not the sort of guy (phsyically speaking) I thougth I'd end up with, for a start, he's not white... but thats not stopped me from loving him the way I do, nor has it stopped me presenting him to my friends and family.
he just wants everyone to be happy and accepting of me, I can understand that, just wish he wouldnt push so hard to make me something I'm not.

Google it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1931408.stm


The relevant part: Alcohol Intolerance

Professor Yoshi Sakaki, the new president of the Human Genome Organisation, says that certain conditions are only found in Asia.

"For example, some Orientals can't drink alcohol because they have a genetic defect in alcohol dehydrogenase (the enzyme that breaks it down), but in Caucasians I think no one has such a mutation.

"So, Orientals are very susceptible to alcohol but Caucasians are not."

. . .



Professor Sakaki seems to draw an enourmously inappropriate conclusion from his own opening statements. It sounds like he is talking about a condition known primarily if not soley amongst east asian populations, but it doesn't sound like it is universal or even widespread. Sickle Cell Anemia occurs only in populations with black ancestory, and Taysach's Disease only in populations with jewish ancestory. If one were to conclude that jewish babies tend to die in infancy, however, one would be way off.

I normally would think of someone described as 'Asian' to be from the Middle East, Pakistan, India or Central Asia rather than Far Eastern... Maybe thats because in Britain there are far more Indians, Pakistanis and other Middle Easterners than Indo-Chinese, Koreans, etc.

I must say I prefer girls from the Far East to the Middle East, but I do prefer white girls overall (I'm white guy myself). I like the American stereotype blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned and the British dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, pale skin even better... maybe its just me, but the 'rarity' of a girls ethnicity doesn't do it for me in any way. If I liked a girl, I'd go for it wherever they originally came from, but generally I prefer whites. I don't have a problem with miscegenation though, so don't be getting all "Racist!!!" on me.

23-08-2004, 14:58
I've seen that alot of people seem to say they like a certain race more than another. I think saying "asian" is a very broad brush though.
Being english, when I started reading a thread and it refers to asians, unless i know that its americans talking I have no clue what the preference is. You do know that asians are every shade from white to brown?

Every women has her charm....
But out of all the south-east asian countries, I like filipinas the most. I like the spanish influence. Find japanese (from the ones i meant) to be very quiet, submissive and i find that quite boring in a partner.

Pandora, my third suggestion was purely in jest - guess I should have used a few more smileys on that one :p

I'm also on the petite side....but I still want bigger boobs...lol
Without having any possibly way of judging without any photos (hint! hint! :D :D :D), I would think that if you have a small body in general, it would look akward for you to have large breasts.

Personally, I think that breast size by itself is not very important. I find small breasts to be attractive by themself (and short hair as well - I guess you coudl say I'm attracted to tomboys, that's just one of my preferences ;)), whereas large breasts (especially when going to the extreme silikone breasts) are vulgar and repulsive. As with fine arts, one element doesn't make a masterpiece in itself. It needs to be a part of an entity.

Well, enough with the ranting ;)

I have lived in Japan 13 years - 88-89 and 92-now. It's been a great learning experience, and one of the biggest lessons has been that bthe precieved hottness of Asian women is illussionary. I know just as many ugly and/or "unpleasant" Japanese women as I knew ugly and/or"unpleasant" women back home in Houston. Same goes for drop dead gorgeous and nice.

However, personally, I am physically attracted to black hair and dark eyes, (probably predispossed to that attraction probably due to both social and genetic factors, as both parents are dark haired and had dark eyes). Japan generally offers an abundance of that which I am dispossed towards. :D

Whats not appealing about them? THey are just as appealing as any othe woman of any other race. Although my gf is asian I am only with her because she is awesome in all ways. It has nothing to do with her race.


But some of the physical attraction i have towards asian women is usually their tinyness, they beautifully shaped eyes, their dark skin, their cute way of talking/laughing, their fasion sense and how innocent they seem to be

Okay this might sound a bit cliche.

I think it's an idea that's been round ever since people started long-range exploring. Asians, along with africans, carribeans (is this a word?) have always been 'exotic and misterious' to those from the 'west'.

I dunno, I can understand the reason, but i don't have in particular any definate liking towards asian (okay, unless they're in cartoons - manga are the best cartoons out there - or characters in video games).

You called someone who simply stated that he/she thinks asians are unattractive. I'm sorry, but you are misguided. This is not racism, he is just stating his/her preference. If asians don't do it for him or her, that should be fine. Just like a choice whether someone chooses to be gay or not.

I think it's an idea that's been round ever since people started long-range exploring. Asians, along with africans, carribeans (is this a word?) have always been 'exotic and misterious' to those from the 'west'.

I dunno, I can understand the reason, but i don't have in particular any definate liking towards asian (okay, unless they're in cartoons - manga are the best cartoons out there - or characters in video games).


Peaceful...it's what i said earlier in another post...about the idea being around for a long time....the "exotic and mysterious" the "closed Orient"...so it's not cliche... thanks for the input ;)

Hard to say but I am one of those guys. hell most asian girls are pretty cute/hot in appearance and I'm talking dressed fully or not it doesn't matter they appeal to me either way nude or not.

I also can get along with them just fine and tend to share interests with them even if they are not american (meaning born and raised elsewhere) in fact I've known and had a good friend who was a korean girl she was 14 when I knew her and lived there all of her life till she came to USA as foreign exchange student

You said it yourself...

and i do believe...asians score higher on IQ tests....so who's more intelligent?? never mind...don't bother answering the question... i'm done talking to the wall....

Its a cultural thing... Asians score better on IQ tests and other standardized tests because Asian society places more emphasis on education than do whites and blacks. I'm sure if a white guy or black guy were raised in an Asian household his IQ test results would reflect his cultural (Asian) upbringing. Also the tiny differences between the races' IQ test results are the result of intellectual exercises like reading and studying. Only the large score differences between individuals, not between races, accurately reflect intelligence i.e. a persons ability to learn. I'd estimate that theres geniuses, mediocrities, and idiots in same ratios in every race.

I'm 17 and half Indian, and I've had only two girlfriends; both of them white. However, I do find darker hair attractive, and I like females who think for themselves. I don't want to stereotype, but Korean girls (most of the Asians around my area are South Korean) seem more intellegent and outspoken than others. They also are more natural, and they don't change their damn hair color every other week.

For me (physically) the attractiveness comes from the eyes and hair.

But I look at it sorta 30/70, looks/personalty respectively.

And Indians are better at guitar than everyone else.

wtf is this supposed to mean?: :gundge:

I know exactly why. Because, asian women are associated in the minds of men as being more docile. For any guy from America, you should know already that 90% of women there are bitches. Now, in Japan, or Korea, the women are traditionally given less leeway. This means an asian women is less likely to throw objects at her husband or boyfriend. Now, this stereotype might not be as true any more, but I believe it still lingers in the minds of men. Besides, there is no other explanation for so many people being so attracted to women who generally are rather inferior in the chest and lower back. Since that is what most men first look at in a women, it must take something special to overpower that instinctive desire to find a women who excels in certain areas.

Now, asian women, on the other hand, are generally attracted more to white men. Why is this so? Because they believe that white and black men are rather more blessed in the lower torso region if ya know what I mean. This is something I am inclined to agree with, if only because it gives me an ego boost.

IQ tests take very little education to excel in. In fact, I took one in the 7th grade. Generally, how advanced your schooling is matters very little. An IQ test measures only your ability to learn.

Schooling matters very little but it still matters just quite enough to account for the differences in IQ between Asians and whites and blacks... Asians as a group place the heaviest emphasis on studying while whites and blacks do not emphasize education as strongly. Intellectual exercise such as reading books, doing math, writing, etc. sharpens one's mental perceptiveness.

OK...this is why I started the whole thread... NOT to start any arguements of WHO'S SMARTER...WHO'S BETTER....WHO'S ANYTHING...IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT THE JONES HAVE OR DON'T HAVE....

like I've said in a million of my posts...I'm half korean/half white..I've grown up living with two different cultures. Born in Korea, grew up in the US. I've heard a million times...I really dig asian chicks...and I've always wondered why...it's always sparked my curiosity. It does disturb me at times when people say it's because of sexual reasons because there is more to a person than that....but that's not me...i like someone for more that reason and I cannot pass judgement on anyone for whatever reason they might find someone attractive.

People have their reasons.... I'm just curious to hear them.... some of you need to lighten up , don't be so literal...this is not an essay contest....or homework....have fun w/ it...just don't be an ass about it.....stop being so nit-picky..it's all in fun....... ;)

I'm Asian (guy though :P) and I've never understood why so many of my white friends think asian girls are so hot. I think Roma, Italian, Spanish, and a few other backgrounds have the most attractive girls :P (Physically speaking), although I base who I'd be interested in dating on more of their personality and their morals (looks do play in though)

I've noticed that with the exception of racists, almost everybody seems to find girls of a different race more appealing....

IQ tests take very little education to excel in. In fact, I took one in the 7th grade. Generally, how advanced your schooling is matters very little. An IQ test measures only your ability to learn.

That's because IQ tests do not test education. (When they do reflect it, it is in the form of a cultural bias - which is why, for example, American IQ tests are not commonly used in the UK, despite the same language).

IQ tests also do not measure the ability to learn - they reflect the ability of the mind to make deductive and inductive logical connections. Some will be spacial awareness components, some will be pattern identification components, etc.

By the way - it is easy to score highly on IQ tests when you are younger, because the final 'score' is inversely proportional to the age of the test-subject.

The fact that mature asians seem to score highly on IQ testing implies that either a) they are from cultures that foster mental agility or b) they are just better 'equipped' for logic than their western equivalents.

Not sure it's really on topic, though...

I have a bit of both... although probably more western... since I live in a western society (but family and family-friends were the only people I spoke to when I was young, which should have an influence), so I'm not really sure what behaviors you're talking about that would appear twisted...

I think it comes down to exotica.

In the west, asians are still (in most areas) a minority, and are something 'different'. Humans seem to be fascinated by the unknown, and cultural ideas, different face and body shapes, even just the diet can all be very attractive to individuals of a different 'race'. Similarly, Geisha in Japan painted their faces 'white' and reddened their lips, so as to appear more like the 'exotic white women' of the west.

Also - Western 'beauty' - especially of european context - is a peculiarly masculine effect. The more angular and masculine the face (on male or female), the more 'attractive' it is considered, in general.

Eastern beauty is a far more feminine concept, so, to a large extent - an asian female is much more 'female' than her western counterpart.

Finally, literature and media entering western markets from the east tend to portray the societies as mysterious, erudite and disciplined - which contrasts strongly with the messy lives western society lives (and, no doubt, the messy lives that eastern society lives too, in REAL life). I think westerners are, at least partly, attracted to the 'wisdom' and 'mystery' of the eastern female.

Idiot? No offense, but what exactly is the point of slapping senseless, offensive labels on every person who disagrees with you?

Not finding asians attractive over any other particular ethnicity is hardly a racist trait. Generalizing asians as exotic or submissive or docile...is something that I find to be ... just wrong.


like I've said in a million of my posts...I'm half korean/half white..I've grown up living with two different cultures. Born in Korea, grew up in the US.

Heh, my rant wasn't directed at you, or anyone else in the thread in particular. (I didn't read through much of it) It was directed at (most) non-Asian people who find asian women attractive for the sole reason that they're Asian...

Just stating my opinion, that's all.


Thats another thing i forgot to mention about asian women. They are wise, and i love intelligence in a woman


Not all of them, trust me ;) The amount of asians who go against the stereotype of ubersmart people is really quite astonishing...if you love intelligence in a women, why not go for intelligent women rather than just for asians? :)

first off.... i don't get mad, then feel bad about getting mad.... if i'm mad then i'm mad and if you don't like it...i don't care. my anger came from the racial remarks made coming the aryan thing stemming from the comments about anime and the tentacles...i had asked that before posting that if was racial or rude...keep it to yourself... and when i came back at that person, i said a rude thing out of anger(white trash)..and said it generally speaking(went on a whole 'nother tangent on some other subject that had nothing to do w/ anything else) and i did not want to offend anyone else that was posting....

if i'm wrong on something and you prove me wrong and put me in my place....kudos to you and i'll tell you that.....

if i'm angered by what you say at first...i may come back at you w/ something right away...then reread it later...give it some thought....see it at a different angle....take light of it...make a joke of it....and use smileys or something....so don't give me the crap of freud meets confucianism.

the whole point of the thread is not whether or not you find asians attractive or NOT...BUT IF YOU DO....THEN WHY?

A lot of the reason I'm often attracted to Asian women, (as in ALL of Asia, not just the Orient), relates to the 'mystery'. My interpretaion, however, is slightly different: My western heritage has carried forth a lot of misconceptions about Asians, but there was some truth in them. I was greatly intrigued on how a lot of Asian women maintained a family-oriented, pacifist attitude in public, but privately they were wild and uninhibited. A lot of this, I believe, had to do with how their family or community connections worked, and wanting to honor their parents and culture, but when I finally got to know a lot of Asian women, I was both surprised and pleased when they unleashed their wilder side.

So, in short, I like the 'Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde' attitude and lifestyle of the Asian women that I have met.

Though the answers that have been posted are all correct, I think it's mainly because of perception and the "mystery" factor. Asian women are generally perceived to be more docile, more submissive and more innocent than their Western counterparts. Those attributes may just as well be appealing to the male subconscious. A lot of people on this thread have already raised the point about Asian women being "exotic" and "mysterious"... I'd say that kind of thinking is pretty common where Asians are a minority and where people have some kind of exposure to Asian things.

Being Asian myself, I do find some Asian girls attractive but I have this strange tendency to fall for British girls. I guess it's the same sort of thing that you're talking about, except that it goes in reverse. :wink:

And Dalamia, the 'Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde' attitude and lifestyle that you talked about also exists (but to a lesser extent) in Asian men. It's all about face; face is a very important thing in Asian culture. You'll come across it everywhere in Asia, from Thailand and Vietnam to China and Japan.

You are certainly most welcome. I had read earlier posts, and I will admit that the almost 'contraband' traffic in 'asian' imagery had pretty much passed me by. It's an intriguing concept, like hundreds of years of 'teaser advertisements'.

For me, personally, it has always been the delicate femininity of asian features, and the exotic hues of skin, hair and eyes - although I will admit to the (perhaps contradictory) enjoyment of blonde or red hair on asian girls.

I think it depends on what you are looking at... I've studied alot of ancient japanese block print....some beautiful....but most of them...no..i didn't find them to be....but block printing is not an easy thing to do...to think that one print may have taken up to 60 blocks to make.... Prints of Japanese spirits kinda scared me...and the warriors prints are printed that way to show their "characteristics". But when you look at the paintings/prints of the Orient...they are all different...Koreans look different than Chinese, Japanese look different Koreans, etc, etc. There is a large asian population where I live..and asians tend to ck out other asians to see if they can tell what ethnic background you come from...it's kinda funny...cause they try to be discrete about it...lol

sorry, back to the block prints and what i had said earlier about the packing materials..alot of those prints were of prostitutes....concubines(hope i spelled that right)...for example....a women..holding her foot down on the reigns of a stallion.....and he's not going anywhere... a powerful animal held just by the foot of a tiny petite woman... that leaves alot to the imagination....

I think it depends on what you are looking at...

I've also studied Japanese woodblock printing and imperial era Chinese painting... the costumes are different but portrayal of the human form is basically the same in all classical Oriental art. Female human faces drawn by Asian artists are very unrealistic and ugly. In fact traditional Asian art has contributed to the stereotype of Asians all having puny slanted eyes... traditional artists grossly exaggerate and distort facial features.

Well you can easily tell where someone's from by knowing their name. Except for in a few cases in which the Chinese and Korean surnames are anglicized the same way.

Showing women in positions of power is not just part of Asian art but also in art around the world. Furthermore, showing women in power is more uncommon in Asian art than in other places of the world. The vast vast majority of portraits of Asian women all show them quite submissive with arms and legs very close to the body... though you could argue that this portrayed submissiveness may seem like an exotic turn-on but I highly doubt that because Asian artists couldn't do faces. Anyways I think you are reading into this power fetish thing way too much.

There has always been the appeal of the dominant woman... and that applies doubly for a woman who is a) attractive (as eastern features are commonly considered to be) and b) disproportionately powerful (as in the case of asian women, who are, on average, considerably smaller than the average western female).

Also - looking back at western culture a hundred or more years ago, although there was a lot of 'mistress' and 'prostitute' activity, it was widely acknowledged but never talked about... to see the eastern female in provocative poses of overt sexuality must surely have reinforced western ideals about the sexuality of asian women.

The east of 100 years ago was just like the west though... sex was never considered proper conversation for respectable people in Asian countries. Even today Japan has more prostitution than the west but it is easier to frankly talk about sex in the west than it is in Japan. Also, poses of overt sexuality were as common in western art as it was in Asian artistic traditions.

Just been putting a little thought into it...

I think my attraction to Asian females is probably rooted in one single instance:

I attended a jschool of approximately 3000 pupils.
I would have been maybe 12, more likely 11.
The school had quite a bilateral ethnic mix, mainly 'whites' and 'blacks', with a few Indians.
On one occasion, I happened to see a girl, who would have been about 16 - who, I believe, was half-Malaysian.

I was too 'innocent' to know about block-printing or submission iconography, and knew little about the 'east' apart from that it was there... that that was where 'Chinese food' came from, etc.

I thought she was the most delightful creature I had ever seen.

She had the most exquisite skin-tone, lovely eyes, and almost-straight long black hair. She was also, I thought, incredibly pretty.

Maybe it was the exotic? She the only eastern female I had actually seen?
Maybe it was that 'femininity' I mentioned, that made a pretty girl seem prettier?

I think maybe a little of both.

Though the answers that have been posted are all correct, I think it's mainly because of perception and the "mystery" factor. Asian women are generally perceived to be more docile, more submissive and more innocent than their Western counterparts. Those attributes may just as well be appealing to the male subconscious. A lot of people on this thread have already raised the point about Asian women being "exotic" and "mysterious"... I'd say that kind of thinking is pretty common where Asians are a minority and where people have some kind of exposure to Asian things.

Being Asian myself, I do find some Asian girls attractive but I have this strange tendency to fall for British girls. I guess it's the same sort of thing that you're talking about, except that it goes in reverse. :wink:

And Dalamia, the 'Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde' attitude and lifestyle that you talked about also exists (but to a lesser extent) in Asian men. It's all about face; face is a very important thing in Asian culture. You'll come across it everywhere in Asia, from Thailand and Vietnam to China and Japan.

Honestly, I don't know. I simply find them to be more attractive. I find their face to be sweeter for one thing, and the face is my favorite physical feature of the body (if I had to choose one). But honestly, it all comes down to: I just do.

Agreed.

Jumping from Thread 1 to Thread 11 is confusing. Help I'm lost.

Anyway, why I find Asian chicks more appealing? It's because their more feminine, and also more traditional, in that they'll be more faithful. (Hopefully).

I think it's also to do with Asian chicks tend to be smaller size. So we men, tend to feel more protective over them. So we feel more machooo.. woo Yeah.

Not to be sexist or anything. But it's the truth.. subconsciencely.

The cold hard truth is that people percieve them as submissive. When in reality the ones who are willing to date foreign guys are anything but.

Is being attracted to Asian women a choice?

Gorgeous eyes, nearly flawless skin, magical hair (it's the round cross-section). Cuter cheeks, because of the eyes. Generally thinner (Asian diet?). Even not-so-thin ones tend to put the fat on evenly, so it looks (and probably is) healthier.

Pardon my generaliztions. :D

The few Asian women i have had the pleasure of talking to has always made me want to learn more about them and the culture :) . Granted they have all been japanese, but the whole asian region has always been tugging at me.

Now as to why i find asian women attractive or appealing is something i find hard to put a label on, perhaps it's because those i have met has been very intresting females :) ..

Someday i hope to make a go of touring korea,china,japan and so forth :)

Anywho just my ½ cent..

Umm . . . two very good Asian friends of mine are Korean girls. . . they're really smart and kind, but I really am not attracted to them in any particular way over some of the other non-Asian girls in my school
