Ever get the impression that asian parents have no sense of what good looks are??

Like they think someone who looks hyper studious must be a real babe?

Yep. For example when some fob asian guys found out that my gf at that time was white...

Asian Guys: I saw ur gf!

Me: Yeah I know.

Asian Guys: She's hot.

Me: haha

Asian Guys: She's not asian right?

Me: She's white.

Asian Guys: THat's why she's hot!

Me: lol ok.

My mom is very critical with looks. So, mostly everyone is an ugly arse to her.

She must be a good mom then since she still kept what is an ugly child in her eyes.

whites on average are better looking. asians look all fatigued and $hit all the time. FOBs love the white skin, that why ugly white dudes hit on fobs cause its the only chance they get.
AgentBach
well thank god my parents go agianst stereotype because they are more critical on physical features of whites and Asians. White people are all weasles to them and when it comes to Asians, they better be pretty and natural without squinty eyes or over the top plastic surgery face.

Common theory:

asian people who want to fit in, put higher value to having some white trophy gf/bf/etc

shows domination over the white race hump.gif

A lot of SE asians I know are very critical...

In the movies, the main character always specifically falls in love with the most beautiful character.
And if the casting is not right, even newspapers will criticize the female lead for not being beautiful enough.

It's a harsh world. Hollywood is hard. But Chinese Hollywood will kill you! cry2.gif

sometimes they dont, but sometimes they do buy the right stuff.

Korean ajummas bring fashion to a whole new level. "Let's see ... should I wear the floral print tights with the pumpkin orange shirt or the big-bird-yellow print shirt today... Oh I'll just throw on any old $hit, I don't give a crap what anybody but my fellow ajummas think anyway." Ajumma Power!!!

This is true. My mum seems to think my nerdy white friend is goodlooking and keeps trying to get me to get with him. Makes me want to vomit.

same thing for me, my dad kept trying me to get with this nerdy looking roommate i had. on a scale of 1-10, he was like 4 if i'm being honest. and that's discounting his personality which really made him like a 2.

-.- my dad kept saying how moral and great he was because he looked like such a dweeb and cos he was a dual major

omg.. lol the guy was like a friggin alcoholic who watched porn 24/7

sure.gif

its because they are immigrants who can from poor families that couldnt afford clothes....fashion was least of their worries

asian parents seem to rate attractiveness based on their degree and how they dont look threatning embarassedlaugh.gif

C'mon, they're parents. That's what parents do.
How else can a parent enjoy parenthood if they can't buy weirdly mismatched clothes or recommend the creepy guy as good marriage material? biggrin.gif

jk. My mom's clothes are ok in the western sense, but when it comes to traditional clothes, she really knows her stuff. I had to tone down the outfits myself....not like I needed 50 creepy guys trying to talk to me! embarassedlaugh.gif

Yea for sure.....


My coworkers tried to set me up with someone by advertising that they made 6 figure salary. sure.gif

I'm shallow but not THAT shallow! Plz. It's almost insulting................

I think my parents have horrible taste in general anyways.

But in contrary to most of the people here, my parents think whites are all ugly.

nah. its just exposure. my guess is that u were raised in predominately white environment- most of your friends are white

& your neighborhood is largely white

its predisposition

Right - and the average American who shops at Walmart looks fantabulous!

And I wonder why long hair from AFs is in such demand by the hair-extension industry.

LOL...this is really interesting. I think depends on the nationality but most Asians think being light skinned and very very thin with no curves beautiful

My mum is probably the biggest critic ever XD
