Western and Eastern: different standards of Asian beauty?? Options

[mya89]

Hey boys and girls, I'm new on here! Here's an issue I've been increasingly noticing..

Ok, so years of living in a Western country have led me to believe that there are two standards of Asian beauty: one for Asians, one for some Westerners (especially ones who are "into" the Asian look). Is the Westerner's brainwashing solely down to the media (with celebs like Lucy Liu), or they just simply have a fetish for the "common" Asian look?


But do you believe this phenomea is real? Why do you think this is?

So because Westerners find natural Asian beauty to be attractive, this means they like "common" looks?

You know, you could just say that the East favors Asian women that have Caucasian like features. Because that's all you're really saying here.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Can I just clarify it's not what I'm personally saying here even though that is the case in Asian countries. I'm saying is that they think what is a common look in Asian countries is very attractive, whereas by definition that should be just plain. Same with any other country. People find Megan Fox or Jessica Alba extremely beautiful because they don't look like the average Joe on the street. Therefore these guys have a different standard of Asian preference to Asians. Which is the title of the thread.
And it's like how most Asians do not think much of Lucy liu.

I don't understand what you mean by "natural Asian beauty", because most of the Asian Fever-Asian couples I see (I'm talking about those who have a preference for Asians only, not every interacial couple), the Asian is actually very fake-looking and has huge amounts of makeup on and like, dyed brown hair or something.

In fact, if I'm being honest, all the natural Asian beauties I see are all with Asians so hurray for us.

It's like what Yer said "Western people with yellow fever seem not to be able to tell between different kinds of Asian looks." but we're referring to yellow feverers only.
