^unfortunately, there are people who believe that 'taste' is not subjective but is some concrete fact. pretty imbecilic and that's why you have threads similar to these.

it would be different if it was more concrete such as 'who are the tallest people on average?' or something of that nature. i know men who prefer petite women and find them more attractive etc so that's why what someone finds hot is very subjective.

So why do I have such big eyes then? Japanese average height today is about same as southern europeans. French only average 1 inch taller than Japanese, Portuguese .5 inch. South koreans are actually taller than portuguese and same height as french.

I agree with your point. People of particular races or from particular country have plenty of variation. The reason some people have stereotyped views probably comes from too much time spent watching old movies and reading old comic books. If some people actually spent any time in other countries instead of relying on preconceived notions and imagination, maybe they'd have a different point of view about what's real and what isn't. That doesn't mean a person can't have their own personal preference between European and Asians, but it doesn't mean one is better than the other. Preference as to who's attractive and who isn't is strictly a matter of personal opinion, and that's okay. Regardless, attractive stunners can be found anywhere on the planet.

I feel really grossed out by non-Asian guys who think Asian women are hot. Not that I'm against interracial dating or anything...I'm just against guys with yellow-fever. When I read the posts by people who said Asian girls are ugly, I gave them reputation points and thought "Thank you. You are cool".

But then again, I am being hypocritical because I am attracted to a certain type of guy also. I guess everyone has preferences, I just don't like it when people have preferences for Asians, just because that's me. It makes me feel objectified.

It is subjective and inconclusive, but for the fun of it I'll chip in my 0.02 cents.
Ask any Asians what they think of the Asian-other-half of the mixed couple. Everyone will be happy.

Hahahaha.....preference doesn't have to mean objectification.

hahah, yeah i know. that's why i said, i have certain preferences too so i do the exact same thing. Technically, there's no difference between preferring a certain race, to preferring certain personality traits, facial features, height, or whatever. They're all just preferences. Preferences don't have to mean objectification, but in this case, it often does. I just cannot help feeling annoyed and icked-out.

But seriously all you hear these days is "Asians girls are hot" "Asian girls are good in bed" "Asian girls are feisty" "Asian girls are out of my league". The way people talk about Asians here...you would be annoyed too. I often feel like guys go for Asian girls, just because they're Asian...no other reason.

Recently, i was at a club with some people, including this one other Asian girl. And this guy came up to a couple of the guys in our group, and he asked them "Are you guys with the Asian girls? Because if not, I'll take whichever one you're not with". So I just made fun of him for having an Asian fetish and eventually he went away. I don't care if a guy likes an Asian girl for who she is. I do care when a guy likes any and all Asian girls just cuz they're Asian. Sorry but, a huge pet-peeve of mine.

But Like I said, I'm being a hypocrite because I only like a certain-"group" of guys too. haha. I just don't like it when it's done to me!!!
