If a woman is so skinny that her snapping in half during is a legitimate concern then I'm not interested.

yeah, I worked on a big fashion show job down in London last year, and there was a gakload of models taking part. I'll be honest, I felt like a guard in a REALLY well-presented death-camp. It was spooky. Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and anime is gak. Take that, internet!

Wow If i posted this i would have a mod jumping down my throat telling me that i cant call women water buffalos.
I picked the top picture. I like skinny chicks. Not saying normal bodied women don't have a place but if you ask which one i prefer, I'm not gonna lie.

Some of them are far more attractive than other kinds of guys, it's probably just that people are more vocal about the girls.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Being a straight male I can't really comment, but I wouldn't say there is anything unattractive about Japanese men, although they can look a bit feminine (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, some girls like that).

Two words: Brick Tamland.
Also, do you genuinely believe that an overwhelming majority of people on the internet have never met a Japanese girl? I'd be interested to see the results of that poll.

I prefer the top one. It has little to do with their bodies, but I don't think chubby faces and extra chins are attractive.
I think the whole "accept people for who they are" mentality is doing a lot to contribute to the obesity epidemic in the US. I don't think the girls in the top picture look unhealthy, and while the girls in the bottom picture also do not look unhealthy, a few of them are pushing it. It's just as dangerous to tell people that it should be socially acceptable to be overweight as it is to encourage them to be underweight.

Ok.
I do agree that drooling over a girl for the simple reason that she is Asian is weird. Liking Asian girls because you just find them pretty, attractive, cute or whatever isn't any weirder than saying you find Spanish or Scandinavian women attractive.

6'1" and pretty much bang on 190lb. I would agree that some of the women in the second picture are near 170lb, still nowhere near enough to snap me though Melissia wrote:dogma wrote:Melissia wrote:Amusingly, no one seems to like Japanese guys.

He's ridiculously popular in some parts of the world, think Asian Bieber. I'd agree he isn't that great looking but I've never been a fan of pretty boys.

I don't know RB. I think that blonde in the center of the VS ad looks a little sickly
They're all skinny, and while some look less disturbing than others, that blonde in particular just looks like she really really needs some more milk in her diet.

Or is it just that all super models look the same

BEsides, I'm imagining the lower group in nice tuxedos and slacks, and I gotta say I think they'd pull it off rather well.
