WHAT YOU SAY

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

Why can we just all get along? It doesn't matter if we are from the north, or south Asia, we are ONE.

I read somewhere in the earlier comments that someone said most Asians are plain. Well, all I have to say is that you should go to one of the Asian countries and take a look for yourself, instead of judging at the people who are here.

For some reason, in most of the videos or documentary films, they present Asians in a very unattractive way. It's common that they show more rural areas than the urban, much modernized cities. Not to say the rurals are bad, but they're less developed. The fact is, most Asians are not as wealthy as Americans, Hispanics, or Europeans. Therefore, they don't have the condition or lifestyle to buy cosmetics and beauty products. In fact, more women had never worn makeup in their lives than those who have. Of course, times are changing, and the number will go down.

To that lady who agrees with the blond-hair, blue-eyed idealism (tell it as it is):

Everyone entitles to their own opinions of what they think is beautiful. Some people prefers brown eyes or dark hair (it's hard to believe for you, isn't it?) No offense to you or your race, but think about this: Most (if not all) Caucasian women wear makeup. In fact, they start very early: in their teens. There are more beauty magazines, salons, books, etc. @ here than anywhere else in the world. A lot of times you look more attractive than a person of another race, is because you wear makeup and the other one doesn't (or not as much). It seems that Caucasian women are most insecure, because they put on more makeup than any other races. Rarely do you see one with a natural face. If all of you just walk on the streets with nothing on, then compare it to the Asians whom you see; then maybe you won't be as ignorant and brainwashed as you appear to be.

GurlX,

1. i would want to date and be with a woman that i am attracted to and get along with regardless of whether or not she had plastic surgery. If she had plastic surgery before i met her i certainly wouldn't hold it against her because it was something she did before she met me. If we got together first and then she wanted to have plastic surgery i would object because it's not necessary. In fact, if the plastic surgery we're talking about is breast implants i would encourage her to have them taken out (if she got them before she met me) because i've heard and read that they can be quite dangerous to your health. I don't know about the other types of surgery but breast implants are not safe and it's not worth your health to do something like that.

2. It's great to wake up and see a beautiful face next to you in bed. I'm talking about a natural beauty, someone who doesn't have to spend hours putting on makeup. You know, the kind of girl who still looks great with her hair tossled and her eyes tired and not yet awake. That's something you can have the rest of your life if you make a good choice.
