 Why does it seem the eastern beauty standards are so much harder to attain and are so different than the western standards of beauty? We got to explain it. Yeah, you know, it's very confounding phenomenon. There's a person here They're only slightly attractive then they take our airplane to different geographic zone then they become super beautiful It's a crazy arbitrage We got to talk about it and because a lot of people are wondering I'm reddit all across the internet I looked up like 50 posts and people were just like yo, why are eastern beauty standards so different from use Western beauty standards, but also so much more narrow and defined right so in this video I'm gonna explain why I think America has a much more diverse range of looks that they enjoy out here and why the Eastern beauty of standards are actually very narrow and therefore much harder to attain or at least to reach the pinnacle of and not Only that how do you use it?

Here's just some photos of women that are really popular in the east You would say that these people fit a very eastern eastern standard, right? These are people who are considered beautiful in the east, but maybe not very beautiful in the west They would still be good-looking right, but they may might just not be considered gorgeous They're not the top they're the top of Asia, but not the top of the west Let's go right right right here are some Western beauties So these are Asian women that in the west would be considered beautiful But if they went to the east it might not be as much I think they still would be considered good-looking, but people might be like your style is too Western Well, let's be honest. Let's be clear Let's be specific. We're talking about East Asian standards of beauty because I think actually these women might even play better in Southeast Asia, but In East Asia, they're not the top. Yeah, I think interestingly enough There are more different looks available in Southeast Asia than in East Asia by the way I find these women extremely attractive You are which one are you taking Easter West out of I mean, you know, I grew up in the west and born in the west So I got of course I like the different types of women out here You know and then obviously Asian women who look like different types of women is also cool All right So here and for men and women are people that on the internet They are the cross-section of two different circles saying that they were considered both beautiful in the east and the west Their value didn't change that much. Ah, man. Where'd you find this picture of Michelle? Yo with the cleavage anyways guys All right, so these people are all considered really good-looking But they actually are from Asia except Daniel wool, but he obviously was a star in Asia So I guess David whoa, why does it seem like the Asian standard of beauty is so narrow like the East Asian standard of beauty Okay, so let's be clear here The East Asian standard of beauty is a very snowy white skin tone, right a being ultra thin not a lot of muscle tone That's already different from America because they like, you know a little bit curvier in America For a variety of reasons well curvy or men and women like the men are curvier with muscles and the women are curvier with bust Very young looking. I don't want to use the word girly, but people on the internet use the word girly Okay, and noticeable hair bangs this guy said the Western Standard of beauty for women is they want a medium to tan gold skin tone and they want to be at least slim thick If not curvy like a you know a Kardashian, you know, whether you're curvy like Kendall Jenner or Kim being more super curvy right and then for Asian girl personalities They want some a girl that feels a little bit shy Cheerful and docile compared to Western women, which is more sassy spunky fiery. Yeah, and I think it's very interesting It's important to note that we're just talking about in media senses, right? Like this is what East Asia promotes in their media is a very certain sense Like there was this one tick-tock video that just came out by this Dr. Candice Lynn pointing out that There was some Chinese fans that were telling the k-pop girls to stop dating these ugly Korean guys Even though I think these Korean guys would be considered pretty good looking in a Western sense because they're like Thicker and stockier. Yes. I think actually in Korea South Korea in 2024 they have more diversity amongst male archetypes than even in China Even though China is a much bigger country right But I think it's also like kind of Chinese media's fault because I think in real life Some of these guys are doing okay, but in the media they got no representation the Chinese media It's the worst man. It's the worst man So I do let let's point out in the western standards of beauty because there's such a wider range of what is considered like A hot person here right right here is what the male standard is in the west Obviously, it's not limited to this, but this is something that east might not have as much as right muscular Tone skin and stubble beard And a this is viewed as more attractive than a natural Pretty boy with fair skin tone rock hard six pack abs chiseled face with the bulging pecs and stubble Yeah, would you agree you would agree right and this like doesn't define any k-pop stars like no k-pop stars look like this But interestingly enough the one k-pop star that did look like that was taeyang and taeyang was the k-pop star that made the biggest waves in the asian american market Yeah, I mean think about it in america People like simu who are considered handsome in america They are not as considered even as hot in the chinese media, you know what I mean No, because they think his features facially are too typical or blue collar or rugged Yeah, or someone like travis kelsey or even chris pratt would like get no play in the east as far as like Uh, if that was an asian guy outside of soldier movies, they would be able to get no roles But surprisingly guys, uh, I think everybody only thinks that the east likes very soft boy You know like the bts. You're saying timothy shallow maze. No i'm saying the west likes it too The west likes it too people only think that the east only likes it, but i'm saying the western Taste still has the timothy shallow maze, but it also has the arnold schwarzenegger's right. You know what I mean? It actually has both America is a little bit like uh like a catch-all restaurant You know, there's certain restaurants out there cheesecake factory or whatever they serve like almost every single type of cuisine Yeah, and if I may uh explain real quickly why I think the west has more diversity It's because I think their whole timothy shallow maze Like royal look kind of comes from the british side like the classical western side the euro, uh Aerostocracy. Yeah, but I think the whole buff man Football player like masculine side definitely comes from like this wild west like athletic firefighter lumberjack Type culture that america kelsey mark wallberg, etc. Yeah, but america really has that right america has all these super heroes Like super man hulk thor hercules, you know, they like they like weight lifters They like super man comes from the old greek gods too. They were buff as hell right and asia to be honest david asia Although there are some buff guys out there weightlifting culture is not ubiquitous It is really not like all over asia Even though some guys are even though physical 100 i get it those guys lift weights, but generally They're still on the slim body royal Aerostat like uh asian aristocracy imperialist look Would you say that it's more driven from some sort of dynastic or imperial lineage that obviously has not vanished in the east Whereas in the west some people are like really not on that Yeah, and then like like some girls don't likely in order to caprio and timothy shallow maze in the west Yeah, because I mean those some people will still say uh tim timothy shallow maze doesn't look masculine enough He doesn't look like he could protect me, but then in asia They're gonna ask the question like oh, yeah, why do I need a man to protect me like what's gonna happen? We're not in war. So I don't need a strong buff man. I just want my asian timothy shallow maze Right and like you said like you said some of the really masculine guys in asia They might be able to do well not in media, but they just won't get pumped up in media They might be able to do find you know the girl that likes that style in real life Yeah, because I think at the end of the day Still a stronger man is always attractive in some way because that's just like kind of like biological You know, it's like oh a protector guy, you know, blah, blah, blah But when it comes to people who don't need a protector or don't feel like they do and I think maybe it's because asia Partially is such a safe society. There's no like Street stuff doesn't really happen. Yeah, like you don't need A your boyfriend in shanghai to be able to fight other guys because fights just don't happen that often Well, everybody's gonna go to jail go to jail for like 10 years immediately, right, right, right? Um, I'll say this even in america or even in new york city andrew the lower east side has a different look You know even from midtown I would say midtown starts to resemble more of the beauty standards of asia Yeah, but yeah, but like you said when you when I think Asian america does fall in the middle somewhere, right? That's why they like that, you know People who kind of like bridge the gap like a heory I think heory was considered huge in asian america huge in asia Could could appeal to western people if she could have spoke english or saying in english like she that was kind of like The middle of the venn diagram books. Anyway, let's just get into the comments section Somebody said I think in asia They still have the s this idea that people in movies have to be Super one standard beautiful and glamorous It was just like hollywood back in the golden age But just asia has not moved past that zone. Yeah, I agree and i'm saying once you like a certain type of look Then you get to be ultra critical about it because america produces so much media and it's such a diverse country here different races different Mother countries of origin. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, uh So that's why i'm saying like when the more you only want this type of person here out of these many types of people Then you're going to be extra picky and you can be like, oh, yeah, the nose It's not the same or oh, yeah, I like this uh the eyes of this and then it's like, yeah Right, right, right. You want the small face big eyes or something like yeah, I like you have a small face I like yeah, it is actually variable. I think japan and korea. They have more similar beauty standards and china It's not completely different But it's like a little bit off to the side too more with the fan bing bing type look Um, somebody said it has to do with collectivism and a culture of shame It also has to do with the fact of people trying to people are okay with gatekeeping in the east And they're okay with like a saving face like men's culture that doesn't exist in the west Due to confucianism. This is a really interesting comment andrew this guy came in and said the philippines Breaks away from the conventions of east asia because in philippines actresses are categorized under three different standards of beauty One andrew is moreno, which is a little bit of a darker look Some people may say like a little bit latin or maybe like, uh, you know, like just ethnically ambiguous look islander as well mestiza, which is mixed with white Particularly spanish looks or european looks and chinita Because there's actually a lot of chinese people who live in the philippines who have mixed in over time So basically if you are an actress in the philippines or even an actor You can be categorized as moreno mestiza or chinita So in a way that makes it a little bit more variable interesting. Yeah, I agree I actually think southeast asia in general is just like more mixed than east asia general Somebody said use simu as an example. Obviously, like we said, you know the masculine look versus a tough look Um, I think it's like this There's this like spectrum of attractiveness, right? This is like kind of attractive. This is really attractive There's people who could swap either or there's people who are dead set in the middle But and or even if we expand out the range to like the real extreme ends There could be somebody who's considered cool or good-looking in the east that's considered almost ugly in the west Yes, I would say so, you know, but I think maybe in the west at best Uh, they might be considered interesting looking, you know, right, right, right somebody was saying somebody for example Andrew the new bachelorette gen tran or the the indian girl from bridgerton They would never even get cast anything in the east due to colorism because they're considered like Gen tran is considered dark for a vietnamese girl and uh, I'm forgetting her name right now But the girl from bridgerton is considered too dark for an indian to enter Media in india. Yeah, but she came out and said that too Right, but it's funny because both of them in the west are considered attractive women. They're they're good looking Right, but but if you're doing it by asia asia standards And yes, we are throwing india in here because they have their very strict beauty standards in their and it has to do more with color Yes, um Somebody said that you up if you're not paper thin and pale It's basically considered a huge violation in the east so like thicker darker women. Yeah, they might not Um, somebody said it's all about what is exotic and rare occurring The it's not that simu is ugly in china But his features are very common to find and so they want people with very big eyes and big noses Just things that are like rarely occurring naturally like, you know for men and women I guess in asia under the standard is to have small eyes and a flatter nose So if you're just born with a big nose and big eyes, it already puts you in the I don't know. You're just like rare looking But isn't that partially because the beauty standards in the east are defined by let's just say the beauty standards in Chinese media are essentially defined by like Han Chinese features So of course when it comes to just if everybody's like looks Han Chinese Then you're gonna start to get super picky about the minutia detail about everybody's features But since in america, there's like anglo-saxon blood. There's irish blood. There's middle eastern Europeans are super mixed up. Yeah, there's african blood here. There's all this like native american. There's latin blood. There's indigenous uh american like indigenous mexican blood So i'm like i guess it's so much more mixed in america So people are not picking apart the features so much But this is what they said they said that it's this is what the poster said that in To make it in america. You got to look super asian because that's what makes you look different from everybody else So that's why they like girls like lucy lu or they might like jamie chung or they might like uh Somebody that was more like stereotypical looking Like you know, I mean like lucy lu has like super almost exaggerated asian features whether from a cheekbone or eyes perspective lucy lu is a pretty good actress too, but Yeah, but it doesn't fit what they want in asia with the big round eyes with the double eyelid and stuff Well, the grass is always greener now. Isn't it now the good thing lucy lu was born in america and then she became the Super big actress Yeah, and it was a big deal when the uh actress from squid game got big in america too because sometimes she had been breaking away from The conventions in asia. Yeah for me. I think that she has a really interesting look I am attracted to her but I could see a lot of american guys still not being attracted to her Even though she was in like the weekend music video and stuff like that was more for hype in my opinion Well, also the weekend likes asian girls. He has a taste for that look. Well, he's from toronto man He says he's a toronto man's so, you know Um, somebody said I think attractive is still attractive But definitely some people would not have the star factor if they moved geography. That's fine I don't think I think it's like a ven diagram, you know, like not everybody's ranking high in both Like very very few people rank very high in both societies look wise, right? Because in the east they're gonna They're gonna be super picky about all this feature blah blah blah and then in the west they're like, oh Well, she's too flat and skinny and stick skinny and blah blah blah, which is very common, you know more in the eastern star So to me, I think it's like in the west And I'm speaking this as a western asian person. I'm like, yeah, I kind of want to make I kind of want a girl who Looks like she could at least run like a mile or like that she has eaten Meat before or that she has like some You know Some like, you know, even athletic ability in any way, right muscle tone played a sport at a varsity level You like that look at least she could play volleyball in the east. They might not really value that that much Yeah, yeah, exactly I guess uh, the last point was someone said is this why just mixed people are the future Because they were pointing at right now. Andrew the hottest girl in rmb is tyla from south africa. I believe she's mixed Um, you know, some of these people that we were pointing out like curie kind of looks like she's I don't want to say she looks mixed, but it looks like she could be hapa or like, uh, You know, shout out r.i.p. Godfrey gal kind of had like a mixed look Even though they were full asian, right, they could have passed as mixed, right? So I guess is that what is the the future because you know, like you said like Obviously, there's these genetic pools and there's like these commonly occurring things here And there's coming through here and then somebody's the half-half point But you know, what's funny is that maybe to a point where there's so many mixed-looking people and racially ambiguous people Then some of the purebred people will always still be exoticized and be considered very hot, you know, like a scarlet joe hansen a uh, uh Sydney sweeney who's kind of like, I don't know if she's actually blonde, but she kind of plays like a blonde girl They look both kind of russian to me. Yeah, I know, but I'm like that's but they look like western though Right, you know I'm saying so I think I think That anytime someone looks different, they are still valued in some way Even in an interesting or good-looking way So as long as people look different the different look Will still be valued so in like 40 years when there's not that many pure blonde kids anymore The blonde kids are going to look different. You know what I mean? Because there's going to be a large portion of the america that's like mixed Tanned skin like well, you see it right now with the zandias Like lamella balls zandias. Are they black asian or white or latino? We don't know Right, right, right. Where's but then there's still the people who are like very much, uh, Like in in a lane too. Yeah, um, ultimately i'll say this man. It's just way way way different cultures like asia It's gonna be just asia like however They are with their old ways or kind of like, you know, a lot of auntie influence thinking or grandparents Thinking so uh, yeah, it is interesting to see it and I think the more I do think about it In a way the diversity of america is pretty dope and pretty crazy. Yeah So anyways guys, you let me know do you prefer the eastern standards of beauty or the western standards of beauty? And who are some people who rank high in both? That's the question like we said, this is a circle over here Here's a circle over here. Who is the intersection point? Let us know what you think in the comment section below Let us know what you think of this post very interesting discussion Like I said, I found like a hundred posts on the internet about it. We could only cover a couple of them Until next time we the hop-hop boys. We out
