Asian men only like Asian women?

lol i like the last comment! but i have to say that 'sexy' doesnt mean the girl walks around with her chest hanging out and short skirts up to her backside, there are plenty of girls that cover up and are very cultured and well mannered who are still sexy. i think there can be diff kinds of sexy, the kind that is very in your face and overt and the kind that is subtle. i dont think they should strike out every 'sexy' girl just because they feel like she'll have a rubbish personality or accept every cute girl because they feel she will have an amazing 'take home to mum' personality, like i gave an example b4 of Adriana lima, its just not true, i know plenty of 'cute' looking girls who are seriously wild!

secondly, even if i do listen to him and his friends, unfortunately theres not alot i can do abt it, since i dont know how to be 'cute' some girls just arent 'cute'...i mean can u tell angelina jolie to be cute? how can she be :S (btw thats just an example i am in NO WAY comparing myself to her b4 u all jump on me!)

i mean my best friend bought the cutest hat with the face of a panda on it
Get Katy's River Island hat! | Sugarscape |
(HERES THE PIC)
and she looked really 'cute' init but when i put it on it looked totally diff, (not ugly but lets just say it didnt look 'cute') i think it would be the same if adriana lima put the hat on she just wouldnt look cute at all she'll still look…well diff...

The last saying is sooooo sooo true
His mom called his grandma and said, "A white fox seduced my son."
Hahahaha.

btw being sexy and being promiscuous are 2 totally diff things, and if you bf likes to stereotype like that then thats a real shame,

Initially, I had a similar response to Kayci’s post. “Cute” doesn’t last any longer than “sexy”, if at all. But like you apparently, I was defining “cute” and “sexy” in my terms, not the way most Korean’s under 30 would.

You have to explore what they are saying a bit more to understand it. I ran it by my best friend and her boyfriend (both Korean –Americans in their mid-20s), and they totally agreed with what Kayci posted in an instant.

They seem to regard “cute” as sweet and unpretentious; not a physical description, though it may include some physical traits. Those two qualities do last, even when you don’t regard a person in sexual terms anymore.

What they thought of when referring to “sexy” is the sort of girl who goes all out with the latest “sexy” fashion trends to look enticing. Yes, they will get a guy’s attention, but only until someone walks by who does it one step better. They were not referring to having a true sensuality to their personality, which I would refer to as being sexy. In this instance “sexy” is purely superficial, and of course, momentary.

so they regard the 'cute' as a personality trait that lasts forever but not the sexy?? im kinda lost here, so if a girl who as you mentioned had a sensuality to their personality wouldnt that also last forever aswell? some women go into their 60's plus and still look sexy, not by dressing sexy or looking fashionable but just generally by who there are. and some women can dress comp demure and they would still look sexy - i dont think they shud stereotype either on looks then

You missed my point. When they mention "sexy" about women they meet they are probably thinking about her appearance. There are a lot of younger women these days that push the envelope with their look. "Sexy" is being translated to something just short of looking like a slut. They are not thinking of personality at all; or if they are its a pushy sort that spells trouble.

hmm ok, i guess becoz growing up in the west, everyman looks for a sexy woman and not a 'cute' one i just find it a bit odd how asian men dont like 'sexy women' (the way we see them in the west) and 'cute' women instead - i dont think it is something i can understand, however its just cultural diff i suppose
coz its just that here were told a woman should be tall, tanned, have long legs and be curvy (im generalising here)
but when u ask korean men they like girls who are short, white and cute

i consider sexy as something totally diff to 'a slut' as sorts, i think that has nothing to do with it but hey, if they think that way its cool

[missprincess]

oh and IMO the way i look at sexy i think it outlasts cute anyday sorry guys
coz i dont think that u can class one on the way a woman looks and the other as a personality trait if were going on purely the way a women initially looks IMO sexy is more enduring - and even if were going on both being personality traits i still think sexy is more enduring

Nyororin's Orginal reply to this whole subject pretty much hit the nail on the head. To me anyway.

I think I'm God's gift to humanity...thus far, very few have agreed with me.

Same for me, even though I'm the "westerner" type mentioned. I would not lie, I look at tall women with endless legs but only for short times, the real ones that I like to look at for longer time are shorter ones, also, pretty small on the upper body. The kind you want to cuddle with all the time. Same for about 3 quarters of my friends.

Beside it's healthy for my neck to look straight forward or a bit downward, instead of breaking my neck looking straight up.

The white part from the quote is relative (even in the case of Korean men, IMO), so I avoided it.

I find this all very interesting, but when you people say humble? what exactly does that entitle? It's still good to have confidence right?
