Aloha great posts guys Mahalo.

I was thinking today as i was shopping, that i notice asian ladies more then i used too, growing up in Hawai'i asians are the majority of the population, i have always known how gorgeous they are but ive never really been headover heels like i am now. I wonder if what we find attractive or who we are attracted too changes with age and time. Has that happened to you?

Coolhand68 i agree with you, i can always find somthing beutiful with almost any woman or place if i look for it. But lately its asian and asian hapa ladies that have been making my heart skip,

I can definitely tell you that I was never attracted to Asian women until I actually lived in Hawaii and Japan. I was really pleasantly surprised at how some of the ladies were "my type." Much more curvaceous and thick than I imagined they would be. I also didn't think they would find men of my type attractive - man was I wrong.

Who said it's a myth? What about the Venus of Willendorf and all those fertility figures?

As a woman I do wonder . Sometimes it's hard to imagine my likes with out the mass brain washing . I do know I perfect tan skin dark hair light eyes or red hair green eyes unlike society who thinks blonde hair blue eyes is the crux of beauty

Yup.

I'm also female, and I remember when I was younger, I used to be attracted to blond-haired, blue-eyed muscular surfy looking boys (pretty much the standard of what is considered the ideal of attractiveness in Australia) but as I grew up and developed my own tastes, I realised that I wasn't really attracted to the surf boy types at all, it was just what I've grown up around.

I prefer dark-haired lanky half-Asian guys these days Actually, most of the guys nowadays I find attractive have been dark-haired, dark-eyed, lanky and kind of ethnic looking (that is, not anglo-saxon), I suppose.

So do u think t.v. magazines, peer pressure etc influences what you find attractive, even on an unconscious level? And how does it influence u?
Yes, that is why your friends could only shrug, because their preferences had already been decided for them. And for many men that I know, it also seems to be an appeasement their ego to associate their taste and social status with what hey have been conditioned to perceive as quality female examples of [thin] fitness and beauty.

I watched one of those Discovery Channel "Science of Sex" specials a while ago that brought up an interesting point. A hundred years ago, before mass media, people's only metric on what was attractive depended on the people that they saw in everyday life. So if you look around at the people you see everyday, there's probably a wide range of attractiveness. Now people have movies, TV, magazines, internet, where most of the people featured are at the top range of human attractiveness, which gives people a skewed ideal in comparison to the everyday folk that they actually have a chance with.

Mahalo great posts you guys, some really great points.

So do we feel that media, society, culture etc etc has an effect on what we think is attractive or gorgeous etc? What do you think? Here is a great article about the influences. Whats your opinion?
