WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

Asian Dominatrix,

Oh sweety do not talk like that, that is not the Asian femininity I admire so much.
I only shed some truths don't take it personally. I did not say that ALL asian women are unattractive. That is not true for sure. I have seen some truly beautiful Asian women that are more attractive than White women. But it is my analysis that lots of Asian women are not very pretty physically but their "femininity" is their "glory". Beauty is about femininity. The physical outer side is not the real measure of attrctiveness it is the "gentleness, delicateness, sweetness" of a woman that win the hearts of men. Femininity is the special appeal of Asian women. And I did not mean that it is a bad thing, in fact, it is good. Take for example, Lucy Liu. I understand by Asian standard she is not pretty. Asians even say Lucy's butt ugly. But to us Western men she is awesomely gorgeous!! Her femininity is what makes her appealing.
Being different and exotic plays a major role too.

The counterpart. The blondies. Most blonde women are not "truly" beautiful only small numbers are pretty but almost all blondies somehow become attrctive to some men because of the phenomenon "blonde ideal". I hope you get my drift.

I did not mean that White women are more beautiful than Asian women because it is my analysis too that there are only few "truly" attractive White women.

"Most Asians don't realize how lucky they are. Many whites envy us, and one of the main reasons they make fun of us is because they're jealous. Be happy with what you have!"

Baby, Asian beauty has NEVER ever become the standards of White people(blue eyed blonde has always been our ideal of beauty and will alwsay be because we are caucasian) it is the other way around it is the Yellow people who envied the Whites. (of course you will say not all of you BUT for sure there are many of you who do). Get real honey.

"Many people would die for that long, black hair of yours!"

The last time I check many people are dying their dark hair blonde! I even saw lots of Asian boys and girls sporting a blonde hair. What are u talking about, dear?

I'm an Asian, and I'm proud of it! I used to have single eyelides, but recently, they somehow "changed" into double. There was no surgery, and though the double lids look nice, there's really no big difference. I've seen TONS of attractive Asians with single eyelids.
Most Asians don't realize how lucky they are. Many whites envy us, and one of the main reasons they make fun of us is because they're jealous. Be happy with what you have! Many people would die for that long, black hair of yours! And I can't say this enough, looks AREN'T everything! In the long run, no one cares what you look like, it's your intellect and what you make of yourself that counts. So don't spend too much time worrying about your looks, you never know how many people like you for who you are!

Hey, what's the matter, Dr. Carl? Too ugly yourself to bag any decent-looking Asian girls so you're stuck with white trailer trash? Or are you just in a bad mood after last night because your Viagra wasn't working and your cheesy skank walked out on you?

Oops, sorry. That wasn't very feminine of me, was it, Dr.-Don't-know-jack-shit-about-Asian-women?

Most asian girls are plain-looking, many, many are butt ugly I think what makes asian girls "appear" pleasant or cute is their femininity--their x factor. Beauty is about femininity. Even if you are not aesthetically very pleasing as long as yu have a "feminine" demeanour you can have an appeal to men especially to Western men who thinks that western women are becoming Amazona nowadays. That's the appeal special only to Asian women. Just a thought.
