Are Japanese women in general attractive?
 
Are Japanese women in general physically attractive or do I just have the yellow fever? I kept noticing how many 8, 9 and 10s (attractiveness on the scale from 1 to 10) in Tokyo there was.

Do you feel there are more pretty women in Tokyo/Japan than your country?

I don't know your track record, as in if you were particularly attracted to Asian women even before coming to Japan, but it sounds like you've got the rose tinted sunglasses on.

JohnBraden 06-28-2011 02:45 PM

Yellow Fever....

I'm not saying there aren't attractive ones, but in the scale you describe, I highly doubt it....

dogsbody70 06-28-2011 03:18 PM

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The Japanese women know how to present themselves better than the girls in my country. I think that's the key.

If you were to see the same 8-10 girls without their makeup, fancy clothes, perfect hair, etc. I'm sure you'd see a huge drop in your ratings.

godwine 06-28-2011 03:49 PM

Depending on what you consider "attractive"... as dogsbody said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. BUT there appears to be one common trait with "sexy hot" japanese girl - Heavy makeup and the most fasionable outfit...

whether they are presentable without makeup and without the fancy clothing? Well, beats me, but so far, all the girl that i was exposed to in japan does not fit that description...

Even my cousin's wife, she look darn attratice in her office clothing and makeup... try looking at her again on an early saturday morning with no make up and simple clothing.. its like 2 people...

well said.

Here are the factors that do it for me.
Women in Japan seem to to continue putting effort into being fashionable after getting married and having kids.
Women back home, once they get married the make up becomes a 2 minute thing instead of the 20 minute thing it was before, or it's just nothing.
Clothes go from hot to baggy jeans quickly too.

Then there's biological body size and weight.

Women are on average a lot thinner here. To me women who are less fat are more attractive, I understand this isn't true for everyone but it tends to be true for most men.

Considering these things, women are hotter in Japan.
But the reasons I gave are largely cultural and a white chick on a Japanese diet and living in Japanese culture will be just as hot as Japanese women.

LMFAO AHAHAHAHAAH
This post is gold!!

Anyways personally I haven't seen any Japanese women (face to face)...but there is pretty and ugly women in every region of the world. And from what I'm hearing from the previous post....too much make-up is kinda wack IMO, I prefer women that are a lot more natural looking.

godwine 06-28-2011 04:32 PM

I have seen more "Natural" beauty from Poland than from Japan....

shu 06-28-2011 05:11 PM

I think japanese women are better looking than other women.not saying there isnt women in other countrys who look better than some jp girls. their skin is very smooth looking. Hyde from l'arc en ciel is better looking than any american women that I ever seen and he's male.

I agree with this. I know someone who did a stint at Nova because he wanted a Japanese girlfriend, and although he thought the women he met were "hot", he said he'd been disappointed that they didn't look like he'd expected them to - his previous exposure to Japanese women having been porn stars/gravure models

I would also agree that part of it is presentation. Any woman is going to look better with makeup and smart clothes than she is in dirty jeans and hair that hasn't been brushed, etc.

tokusatsufan 06-28-2011 09:57 PM

Well I think it's just that they never seem to get that bad,in Japan.

Then again,apart from this one white girl at college that might not mind moving to Japan[who might not be interested in me anyway],I might be a bit biased.

It is this point that actually makes me less attracted to many Japanese women. I don't like it when women try hard to be beautiful. I don't like fancy clothes, can't stand any makeup at all and if a women looks like she has spent more than a few minutes doing her hair then I'd barely even want to talk to them. Women who accept they don't need to do all that crap to be beautiful are the ones I find attractive.

Ryzorian 06-29-2011 01:32 AM

I'm attracted to attractive women reguardless of race, maybe it's just a guy thing, I dunno.

tokusatsufan 06-29-2011 08:13 AM

I don't think so. Everyone's different.

edit:Oh,the spambot got there first!

OHayou 07-11-2011 03:29 AM

When I went to Osaka I felt the same way.

I think, in my particular case, it has to do with how feminine Japanese ladies come off and how skinny/petite the majority are.

MoshixMoshi 07-18-2011 10:32 AM

I'd say yellow fever man..

Then again personally I believe that most of the models and girls with lots of makeup tend to look more like children than adults. If I were a guy the petiteness of Asian women would make me feel like a pedo.

Too cute. haha

dogsbody70 07-18-2011 10:42 AM

I think some African women are extremely attractive and noble.

Maybe those from the MASAI tribe.

They dress in colourful garments that accentuate their nobility.

I have some sculptures of them.

chalk this up to yellow fever;
Obesity statistics - Countries Compared - NationMaster

30.6% vs 3.2%
and that's JUST obesity, try factoring fat, and even "unattractively chubby" into that and you've got some pretty dismal looking odds of finding a fit lady in the states.
even without considering the states, the majority of western countries are significantly fatter than Japanese people

Japan's got the obesity rates of underdeveloped countries while maintaining 1st world quality of life and pushing the fashion world.

this is based on a simple very subjective point of view
fat = ugly
fit = good looking

if we can't agree on that alone then this is just a stalemate of a conversation

(PS, for those of you who think that Canada is just another state of America, we're twice as fit ;) )

Your last bit made my day. XD

BobbyCooper 07-18-2011 04:37 PM

Probably the most attractive from the Inside and Outside yes :)

jamu 07-18-2011 05:34 PM

Japanese Women
 
Have visited many countries and Japanese Ladies can hold their own with anywhere in the world. No better or worse but Japanese women do have a sense of style and present themselves very well. Have dated a few and found them intelligent and fun to be around.I found this in Europe and the US too.

kenmei 07-18-2011 07:57 PM

No, this is a dumb thread. Anyone who believes such a thing is an idiot and I'm married to a Japanese.

japan1234567 07-18-2011 11:03 PM

Guys, why don't you try ALL women races from ALL over the world "before marriage"? Is that interesting? Well! Great!!! Have fun:rolleyes:

One of the stock-market well known rule is: "The trend is yours":)

OHayou 07-19-2011 12:56 AM

I love all races except white girls because they are the devil

I'm actually not trying to troll here. in fact I'm trying to be as objective as possible as I can with a topic like attractiveness.

please tell of if I said something wrong or infuriating

I think that you`re pretty spot on. I`m not the thinnest woman out there, and I didn`t find your posts offensive or "infuriating" in the slightest.

The fact is, men find thinner, fit women more attractive. It doesn`t mean that they would never consider a woman who may not be - but just like all other physical traits, there are going to be preferences that have an effect upon relationship choices.

---

As to whether Japanese women are "more attractive" - it depends where you`re looking, I suppose. I would say that if you take weight out of the equation, it evens out. There are some downright butt-ugly Japanese women out there... But a lot of western men are willing to overlook that if they have a nice body (where a Japanese guy wouldn`t, as they`re more accustomed to thinner women being the norm.)

So... If you criteria for attractiveness ranks "slim" or "fit" near the top - Yes.
If you rank other features at the top - Japanese women are probably going to be equal.

lol you're cute.

But take heart young infuriated woman..."connection" is what is truly attractive.

------Connection----- It takes into account physical...it takes into account spiritual...it takes into account personality.

Physical attraction is good, you need it... but a relationship built upon lust will never last. Maybe some guys need a super skinny girls, others like a girl with some azz, and still others .. like guys so we're all different.

WHERE in the hell am I going with this...!

I would agree with you,but that's going too far. I'll still be friends with them,I just can't see myself entering a relationship with one. I have had a bad experience with one or two white (English I hasten to add) girls and,same as any country,women are just as likely to be assholes as men(that means if it's a place where people are generally nice then that'd be the same) but I still see someone occasionally,like Jennifer Ellison I like and she's white and English. And of course you have Welsh women,I've liked what I've seen of them(maybe I'm a bit biased). Alycia Purrot and Michelle Langstone,who were in Power Rangers SPD I like(Alycia is Canadian,I think Michelle is Australian or New Zealander). So you can't completely exclude white girls!

I can see how if you saw the world in a black and white way you could think that. Personally,I believe that you should acknowledge grey areas,but don't focus on them to the exclusion of everything else.

samokan 07-20-2011 01:31 AM

For the sake of FASHION and CUTENESS .. I can safely say that a typical Japanese girl would do anything,even climb a mountain in heels :D

Of course their fixation on big eyes. The bigger the eyes, the better. Sometimes they put too much eyeliner and eyelash extension that they end of looking ridiculous.

Soooo many times do people get insecure or refuse to enter in any type of relationship because of race. Its quite ridiculous really!

Use less makeup?

Have you actually ever been in contact with real, live Japanese women?
