		<description>yeah, right! one of the reasons you folks are so interested in asian women, is they look like girls. hardyandtidy admitted as much on a recent thread. that's why it was so funny to see you all go berzerk over some k-pop grounp. 

now, let me impart some wisdom so that you can understand:

an ugly black man can be a good looking black man in europe. 

moving on, may i offer you some poetry?  

'now, this, this is one of them occasions where the homey isn't doing raht. you see, he say he gotta a ho that he like, but ya can't make a ho a housewife. now, when it all boils down in the end, a bitch is a bitch but a dog is a man's best friend. so what he gotta a ho that he like? you can't make a ho a housewife....' dr dre rap song

perhaps, our priorities are misplaced.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I had Korean people confused at the girls I thought looked good…for example, someone like Jessica Biel, people would think she looks pretty but dumb, clumsy, and crude (not my opinion, I swear!).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So much the better. Leave all the robustly good-looking ones for us stupid foreigners, and all the bag-of-bones alien autopsy chickies for the Koreans. Everyone's happy that way. Except pawikirogi -- he's a miserable son of a bitch.

Honestly, I think it's great that standards are different, creating opportunities for sexual arbitrage. For example, I'm "very handsome" here in Korea, while in the United States I'm merely "good-looking". And I don't think that more than half of the "Beauties" on the Beauties' Chatterbox are in fact beauties. But here in Korea, they are. Good for them.

I don't understand foot fetishism either.

Jessica Biel too clumsy and crude-looking for Koreans? Great.</description>

		<description>Bah, Pawi. Don't know what you're getting at, not sure you know yourself, but sexual attraction isn't that simple, and, no, most men are not attracted to 14 year-olds.

Here's one about sexual attraction being linked to the size of a person's lips:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2817795.stm

Here's one that suggests it may be linked to pheromones:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9125-clue-to-sexual-attraction-found-in-lesbian-brain.html

Waist to hip ratio:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist-hip_ratio

Sure, research has found that men are attracted to youth...youth being 2.5 to 7.5 years younger.

		<description>i don't ususally say to mush on threads like these because the expat makes himself look bad on his own; no need for my assitance. having said that, let me say this:

a couple years ago, i saw a discover program on human sexuality. i only remember two things from that show but i'll just tell you about one: scientists wanted know what kind of female body was the most attractive to males. they collected data. they tabulated it and were a bit embarrassed about their findings. you see, they discovered the most attrctive female form was to be found in a...drumroll, please...a fourteen year old girl! 

how's that grab ya, metro? yeah, i know, go ahead and attack the source. me thinks you do protests a bit too much. 

oh, and btw, let's hope that korean rap artists don't start rapping about bithces and hoz. that'd be a real shame, right?</description>

		<description>#21,

I was laughing not only at the fact that, yeah, that's a pretty bad picture, but also at the quip she made. 

"Are THESE the faces that are supposedly launching a thousand erections?"

It's a substitution. The original line is by Christopher Marlowe.

		<description>Hmm, I've noticed that in general, Asian culture tends have a different perception of what looks good.  IE, they seem to prefer a mellow/soft look, so I'm actually not surprised that girls look up to them.  Yeah, they aren't really hot, probably see better looking girls on the street, and in turn, I had Korean people confused at the girls I thought looked good...for example, someone like Jessica Biel, people would think she looks pretty but dumb, clumsy, and crude (not my opinion, I swear!).  Perceptions are changing but still somewhat prevalent it seems.</description>

		<description>#18,#20  The sad thing is that the Wonder Girls are considered by the bulk of my female freshman students to be something to aspire to in terms of beauty.  I don't get it.  The Wonder Girls look like Korean/alien hybrids to me.</description>
