Kissable lips: an ethnic study

Ye’ Olde Chosun reports on a study by a KangNam St. Mary’s Hospital professor on what Koreans and white folk consider kissable lips [Chosun Ilbo, English]. No word, however, on what Koreans and white folk consider the best pair of lips for getting Krispy Kreme donuts (see post below).

    I hope the study was better executed than the article suggests.

    To establish such differences you have to have a blind study of representative groups rating images of lips only.

    A review of average lip sizes of models can never be reliable on its own and the logic used here contradicts itself. On lip thickness its concluded their is a focus on lip thickness because thickness of models lips is more than normal korean. On mouth width the opposite is concluded, koreans prefer smaller mouths despite the fact that korean models lips are wider than average koreans.

    How can such conclusions be made unless the testing is of lips only without extraneous issues being excluded. Maybe bigger lips are gentically disposed to woman with bigger tits, and therefore the size of the lips is merely overlooked in favor of more obvious assets in choosing models.

    Also where is the group of average caucasian women.

    That first pair of lips is pretty creepy looking, but not as scary as former Sexy Mild CF model and Korea maligner Meg Ryan’s. Pity her.

    Eagerly anticipating a follow on study about cabooses, to include profile views. But include some sistahs, would ya?
