Why do Asian girls go for Pretty Boys? Options

[chiuchimu]

I know that girls around the world love those G.Q. looking guys or those clean metro-sexual types and I can understand that; I can see why girls would find Those Italian looking guys modeling jeans in those fashion magazines attractive. Robert Pattinson will win the girls over Sylvester Stallone any day( during his youth).

BUT, the vast majority of Asian Idols look like girls. It's like the more feminine your features, the more popular you are among Asian girls. This is most acute among NEA but is working it's way into SEA society as well.

Look, Asian guys are not attracted to girls that look manly, Why are Asian girls attracted to men that look girly?

The following is a blog entry on the question you're pondering:

http://thegrandnarrative.com/2008/12/15/ba...of-male-beauty/

It's theorizing that angry Korean housewives who found themselves ousted from the workforce upon the 1997 Asian financial crisis subconsciously and collectively retaliated by de-masculinzing men.


I don't agree with that theory though. I think that Asian girls like prettyboys because out of all groups, we have the lowest levels of testosterone and can be attracted to what others may consider too effeminate (not enough testosterone) for their taste.

I have no idea what the pretty boy thing is about. I'm thinking it may have something to do with being threatened by masculinity in that 12 y.o. girl kind of way. And why are so many Asian girls into being cutesy to the point of making me gag? All the fake giggles and the fu-king circle contacts...ugh.

Why not?
Seems like a better choice than to go for bums that smell bad

I think some one must be high to be asking such questions

[acheng]

good looking is good looking, it is universal, they are not attracted to the guys effeminate appearance but to their good looks (very symmetrical), not only asian girls find them attractive, white and black girls do too, this kind of question arises cause people like you still can't figure out why some people are attractive some people are not

Stupid responses, the both of you. If you don't care to read the post, DON'T RESPOND! Either that or you two don't know many Asian girls!

I said I knew what girls around the world find as attractive - Robert Pattinson like guys or Tom Cruise etc... This is what the rest of the world find attractive. It's only in Asia that girls find very female looking guys attractive, no where else in the world are girly guys popular.

chiuchimu are you sure that happens all the time? back in asia my 6 ft tall athletic soccer player cousin gets more action from women who are attractive than my other cousin who is 5 ft 6 and stereotypically trying to act pretty boy.

Media. Media shapes what is considered attractive. Everything you just said all relates to being seen on tv or magazine. They package "beauty" in a way so that it appeals to general audience. Even if some aren't affected initially, they'll know someone who is and then they'll be influenced secondhand. People are sheep, they'll be into whatever each other is into.

The world is filled with many kinds of people.
Some fat and short and tall and lean ... whatever ....
Why do you think that people come in so many different ways?????
Because, around the world, girls go for every kind of guy and guys go for every kind of girl ...

Hey, have you ever seen Menudo??? Popular spanish singing group .. filled with girly guys????
You generalize and think it is true??? Why????
You are no better than any other A-hole who talks of stereo types and believes that is the way the world really works.

Those girls are 15-20 yrs old...which seems to go with my theory of how teenage girls are threatened by masculinity and want the effeminate pretty boy type. Seems like girls in the age range of about 10-20 years old can have a thing for really effeminate guys, and those girls all land in that age range. I'm not saying that guy isn't cute...but he's just not sexy. Maybe if he left his hair alone and wore a normal shirt...

I mean, think about it. Remember that whole Leonardo DiCaprio mania that hit in the late 90s? DiCaprio circa "Titanic" is about as effeminate as you get. And females (particularly in the 10-20 age range) were going ape$hit over him. Look at Orlando Bloom, what's his fanbase exactly? Girls. Girls who are afraid of actual men. The differences between the effeminate white guys that girls love in the West and the effeminate Asian guys that girls love in the East are superficial. When you think about it, it boils down to the same thing.

Now someone explain the cutesy girl crap to me.

please refer that as your opinion, it is you, your own self that don't find him attractive, not majority of the girls around the world
because there is zero proof that your opinion represent the majority of the girls around the world and your argument nowhere close to reality



list of leonardo dates,
check out his list of females:
http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/pe...do-dicaprio.htm

are all those girls 15 yrs old? are they all threatened by masculinity?
actually teenage girls 15-20 yrs that go for masculine and/or pretty boy type (both), above that they go for more mature and stable guy, neither masculine or pretty
and ironic, you are asian girl but dont find pretty boys attractive, maybe it is asian girls that don't like pretty boys you should argue with the original poster lol

Asian idols do not look like girls. That's like saying American idols look like girls, just look at BSB or nsync
