WHAT YOU SAY

Asian Dominatrix,

There are quite a few of us Asian women who don't fit into the tiny, ectomorphic image. I'm Chinese, 5 foot 8, 160 pounds and one of those "disgusting double digit figures" (10 to 12 to be exact). I also have broad shoulders and a DD chest.

If you are that secure about the desirability of your looks, why do you have to put down other women (yes Asian ones as well) who don't have your qualities?

White Girls are sexy!

Hey, here's another KKK fatass whitey or AM so desperate to sell out that he'll opt for the shortest, chunkiest and ugly white chicks. (OK, Demi's not short, but her short legs make her look like a puky 5'3".)What, can't get the slim and pretty Gwyneth Paltrows, Kate Beckinsales, and Uma Thurmans??

Hey, we Asian chicks are not missing much when you can only get the fat white chicks.

If you're a whitey, why do you waste your time coming here? Is it because the pretty chicks avoid you right and left so you'll even visit an Asian site? Go check out KKK babes. And if you're an AM who dislikes AF's you've probably got a short, bigtime mofo ugly mother. Do us a favour and get yourself sterilized so you don't pass on any of your ugly genes!

I think that skinny girls rule. Skinny chicks with a tan and no fat on the hips. Fat chicks need to diet and eat more rice. The problem with sistas is that they tend to grow to large. It might be the diet. Chinese girls are naturally blessed with a skinny figure. Consider yourselves lucky.

I would love to be a fat girl if it meant that the weight went to good places like boobs, but since it stubbornly chooses to deposit itself on my gut only, I am desperately working back to stick figure proportions. Mesomorph is all I can really hope for. I will never be an ectomorph.

Demi Moore is hot! You don't know what you're talking about Asian Dominatrix so shut the heck up! Id take white girls over Asians anytime!

hehe,

Correctomundo. A lot of Asian women will never have to wear anything bigger than a size 4 even if we're well over 5'. We will never have to wear a disgusting double-digit size like a 10, 12, or God forbid, a 16. One of my AF friends is 5'10" and still manages to wear an 6 or 8. (No, she's not a model.) We are also blessed with a great metabolism: a lot of my WM friends are always impressed by the fact that I can eat like they do and still remain very slim.

Even when we gain weight, it still isn't noticeable since most of us are ectomorphic--the ideal figure--not a muscly mesomorphic (i.e., Madonna, Demi Moore, etc.) or sloppy endomorphic (i.e. Roseanne Barr).

I'm one of the african-americans who post on here pretty commonly, and I'm seriously hoping that the comments about the preferences for extremely skinny asian girls is sarcasm. I have seen larger Asian women(not like dangerously overweight, but curvy, so to speak) that outclass skinnier girls of other races in terms of beauty any day of the week. I'd personally prefer a girl with curves as opposed to the proverbial stick figure body type.
