<p>LOL Tyra Banks. Man, she’s good and all, but that woman makes me angry sometimes.</p>
<p>@ksarmand, idk, white guys are just generally good-looking, physically. Also, most of them are quite chivalrous, which is nice Asian guys… well let’s say chivarly isn’t a common thing in Korea. But the same culture makes me feel much more familiar with them.</p>
<p>And black guys… I guess it’s also the Koreaness left in me from seven years ago – “pretty” in Korea means large eyes, pale milky skin, slender nose, etc. – I guess you could say “Caucasian features”. I don’t like to compare it like that though, because people tend to twist it up (Ehem Tyra Banks.) The dark skin and broad nose and what not on typical black guys aren’t attractive to me. Also, I’m not too hot about the huge, bulky frame also, which a lot of black guys seem to have. (just a generalization though! O_O) I’m slowly changing though, because I’m finding more and more cute black guys (albeit very few). Few years ago I couldn’t fathom thinking any of them as “good-looking”.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say I live in the deep South. I live around Dallas, and y’all, we ain’t that southern… haha, in my POV.</p>
<p>As an Indian person, I tend to find that my preferences among white girls is for them to be very pale, and for black girls, very dark. Asians are more complicated for me. :D</p>
<p>I think she’s talking about Arabs? Right? We call them “brown” at our school… encompassing the Middle East and South Asia (India/Paki). Dont’ ask me why, they call themselves that, so we follow. Anyways, a lot of “brown” guys can be cute too…</p>
<p>I can stand pasty skin, but I prefer a bit of tanness too I think this comes from living in the U.S. for a while. But… for some reason, I prefer them to be lighter than me. I’m a pretty dark Asian :d</p>
This is the view propagated by a multitude of societies, including the one in which we live. I simply find that such a notion of beauty, when blindly accepted, is a sad reminder of the days of yore, when the features you mentioned above were the only ones acceptable, with all others inviting comparisons to less advanced life forms.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Men in general tend to have bulkier frames than women. Perhaps the males you find attractive are simply those who participate in physical exercises less often than their more muscular counterparts.</p>
<p>
That is in the traditional Deep South, whether or not you would say so.</p>
<p>This is a curious exposition on stereotype, to be quite honest, that was rather interesting. However, I shall now extricate myself from this conversation to pursue activity in a forum where my posts will count towards the total. :p</p>
<p>Ah, I see. Well, if you like 'em short, I suppose you would be more inclined to select Asians (perhaps not those from the more northern regions), though depending on location, Caucasians usually display frames similar in size to those of African descent.</p>
<p>
Pardon me if I committed any misinterpretations; feel free to correct what I have written above.</p>
<p>I don’t understand, ksarmand. You’re attacking Purp for her (?) opinions. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, why do you need to analyze it? We’re ALL attracted to different types of people.</p>
<p>I’m black but I’m attracted to white guys. All my friends think I’m weird but I don’t care lol. Black and darker skinned guys just don’t appeal to me. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>^^It is not necessary to explain everything, but it is possible to explain why one is attracted to another. If personal preferences are something drawn from societal influences that help to create personal preferences, as Purplicious made clear, then that is the “why” behind the attraction. I was simply curious as to what factors had shaped her preferences; I know which ones shaped mine.</p>
<p>^ Most people have no idea unless there is blatant racism in the family. We just think certain people look much more appealing than others. For example, I am attracted to bigger-guys. No idea why, I just am.</p>
Asian guys… well let’s say chivarly isn’t a common thing in Korea. But the same culture makes me feel much more familiar with them.</p>
