Being skinny is harder, plain and simple.
Not just that. You can be skinny but not look skinny enough if you naturally have a bigger build with wide shoulders and short limbs.
Looking skinny is only achievable if you have a very petite frame (think of the Twiggy look or how Jang Wonyoung looks).
For me, Eastern standard is my wife and the Western standard is gf.
Eastern emphasizes cuteness while western emphasizes hotness
I don’t think either is perfect but I prefer eastern more consistently for attractiveness
Reminds me of my Chinese college roommate who kept trying to date pale white teens. So gross 😩.
You mean like a pedo?!?! Wtf?
Damn im ugly on both sides of the spectrum 💀
Why do you hate yourself young man🙄
@@openranks4519 don’t hate myself. I honestly appreciate who i am. Beauty standards is just cooked
A man is what he does.
😂
Like A meme I saw "A woman who is ugly has a weave, make-up eyelashes etc. A man if we're born ugly, we're just ugly". 🤣
Plastic surgeries, fake looks aren't attractive to me. Heavy makeup is a big no for me
Asian beauty is more refined and delicate and youthful. Western beauty is more garish and try-hard, and so less natural. Born and raised in Canada, I think eastern style wins, hands-down
pale white skin isn't natural
Less natural in the western world?? Are you kidding? 😂 plastic surgery is rampant in Asia. Most of them look nothing like their beauty standard, Asians literally shave off bone from their face to achieve a smaller face and their makeup is not really makeup, it’s more like an illusion. NOTHING is natural about their beauty 😂😂
Yeah but I'd prefer my woman look like a woman, Not still a teen.
exactly. Asian beauty values proportion and ageing slowly, where Western beauty is all about protuberances and basically making caricature out of maturity. Gotta have big ass, big thighs, big tits, lips, etc.
As least for guys I agree cause in the East it almost looks like you need to be born beautiful or have surgery done to achieve whats considered beautiful. Even if you're not good looking in the West if the standard of beauty is just being in amazing shape anyone can achieve that with disciple and hard work.
That’s a myth, stars in the west also get as much plastic surgery.
That’s a myth. Attractive stars in the west all get plastic surgery. It’s not more or less. It’s the same.
Pretty much all Korean female beauties are the product of eye surgery and pale makeup.
We who can’t lose weight/ sculpt our bodies: anti-depressants/steroids, Lymphedema, knee arthritis (bone enlargement; can’t have surgery due to the Lymphedema!). #FML
The East Asian beauty standard is much narrower because of ethnic homogeneity. When everyone looks so similar, it's much more difficult to stand out compared to the West (even though one could argue the West has a Eurocentric tilt). Also, Asian physical standards are considerably more stringent and unrealistic in terms of body weight, skin tone, height, etc. For what it's worth, the West has varying conceptualizations of beauty, not just the blue-eyed blond(e) look.
Only Northeast Asia (North China, Korea, and Japan) is ethnically homogenous, whereas SE Asia (South China and ASEAN countries) has a fair amount of diversity.
My dad once told me the reason we messed up in Vietnam is because we didn't know who was the enemy and who was innocent because they all looked the same 😐
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd That's a stereotype. Vietnam actually has quite a fair amount of ethnic diversity. They have 50+ ethnic groups and there are clear physical differences between North and South Vietnamese.
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd And even if you think Vietnam is homogenous, there're other SE Asian countries that aren't as homogenous. Overall I'd say SE Asians are definitely more diverse looking than East Asians.
Bruce Lee, I think had both east and west went “gaga’
He was mixed, too.
@@rupertbee wait mixed with what?
what?@@rupertbee
@@CaptainFalconno he wasn’t mixed.
His Chinese-born mother was mixed race in that _her mother_ was part European, so the European parentage was _very_ distant. Bruce Lee may be considered mixed race from a very insular perspective but he was pretty predominantly asian and he looks Asian. He also presented as Asian and suffered racism and less available Hollywood roles for in fact being Asian and looking Asian... so Bruce Lee being mixed distantly is not actually what this conversation is about.
These are some people who would rank high in both Eastern and Western beauty standards imo:
-*Takeshi Kaneshiro*: when he was younger he had that pretty boy look but his chiseled bone structure also gave him a more masculine touch
- Henry Nguyen aka *King Henry* (Vietnamese-Australian Tiktoker/UA-camr): His glow up videos always appear in my recommended section. Post glow up, he looks like a mix between a Kevin Nguyen and Kpop idol due to his tattoos, toned muscles as well as his flawless, clear skin, permed hair and tall height.
- *Jung Hoyeon*: She might not fit into traditional Eastern beauty standards but her striking features and tall height make her stand out in a good way, otherwise she wouldn't be a global top model.
-*Kim Taehyung (V from BTS)*: His square face shape fits into Western b.s. while his soft features fit into Eastern b.s.
awesome analysis, thank you
Good video guys! 😎
I prefer Eastern beauty standard but I can't get a girlfriend anyway so it doesn't matter much 😢
Same here 😢
@@michaelzero5278look at the same with heavy makeup and plastic surgery
🥲🥲
Plastic surgery monster
My advice for Guys in General: Hit the gym at least 3 to 4 days a week. Work on your Social skills daily/ get out of your bubble and try new things.
Western beauty standard for Asian women is extremely stereotype and self-fulfilling. Hence one is considered whacky or sub-average in Asia is considered gorgeous in West because it fit into the exotic fantasy.
Western man like cheap looking asian women. East like more educated, and elegant.
Well , the girls in East Asia like to be white/pale , but when it comes to picking boys ,it doesn’t really matter on the skin color. Most of the girls would like the boys to be sporty ,not to bulk but still needs some muscles .
"Hosomaccho" in Japan. Skinny with muscle tone. Funny thing is, in the 2000s, Western women went gaga for that too. Remember the Emo/Scene kid craze? Skinny guys were raking it ALL up from like 2002 until 2010.
This is such an interesting topic, and I'm glad I just found you guys! I've been interested in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese media and cultures for about 10 years, and it's fun to hear the Asian American perspectives on them and the differences between the US. I watch a lot of Chinese dramas and I find a lot of the guys there very attractive (the Orlando Bloom elf-look, especially for martial arts shows, appeals to me). To me the actors are very diverse from each other, but I know they are just scratching the surface on the number of faces in China that probably are never representated as leading men. Also in Korea I find a lot of the guys attractive, and I do tend to like the more unique faces. Everyone has their own perspective on beauty, but I think it's fun to unite with girls around the globe who are fans of these Chinese and Korean actors.
good topic
im Asian n i don't like guys who are too masculine
Not sure if this still applies in China. Back in the 90s 2000s, there’s a saying that Chinese teen girls loves guys that knows how to fight. In their 20s they want a handsome guy then in their 30s they just want a rich guy.
Just to give some context, back then high school fights were brutal, you have class vs class fights during recess/after school. I think nowadays, schools are safer
Chinese teens don't fight in your sense of the word, they fight for top university places.
@@silveriver9 nah i am talking about physical violence. it makes american student fights look tamed. Students in china were literally sent to hospitals. Like i said this is back in the 90s and 2000s.
90s was chaotic, kids in high school in China fought with bricks and machetes
@boxyyy7329 Which movie did you learn that from? 😂😂😂
@@silveriver9 我是中国人，憨憨

I like both, but I prefer a very Eastern look..
Eastern: Gong Li, Bae Suzy, Kyoko Fukada
Western: Scarlett Johansson, Elisha Cuthbert, Kylie Jenner
Hey Fung Bros. This has nothing to do with this video but there's a music video calibration between Thai and Japanese artists called "Leave it all behind" that is gone viral around the world for the past 2 weeks. So many reaction videos from many people around the world but I haven't seen any reaction video from Asian American, Asian Canadian or Asian European at all. So I know you guys don't do reaction, but if you would do reaction on this music video, would be great because I would like to see your reaction to this and is this(the type of music) something not appealing and maybe too weird to Asian American.
I prefer the eastern beauty standard for women, snow-white porcelain skin, smaller stature, more natural style makeup. I don't like the tans and big butts going on right now with the western beauty standard for women. They usually don't look natural and I don't really like the makeup or hairstyles either, or a lot of the clothes they wear. I think it's more of an American thing, because they don't do it so much in Europe. I can't really pull off the western standard for men look myself anyway, so it all works out as far as who I attract and vice-versa.
No
Bleaching
Snow white wtf I'm Irish with reddish hair and I'm burned right now from a few hours of sun
Big butt isn't natural huh it is when you have genes from parts of Europe Africa and even island nations sorry we don't all have child bodies
How is snow white skin natural? if anything tanned skin is more natural, which is the natural color most Asians have anyway.
This was interesting talk as I dated a east Asian & she said she was fat yet to me she was skinny close to normal girth for women in america. Following eastern asian ytubers they mention & strict the standards are. Unfortunately here plastic surgery is getting more popular specially for woman on their curves, lips & face
There was this ridiculous trend in China were if women were skinnier than a letter piece of paper they were happy. I have to say s korea has the strictest standards & there's a story about a man suing his partner because the baby didn't come out as beautiful when in fact the woman had multiple surgeries
Speaking of beauty, you guys should cover the IGN controversy regarding Stellar Blade
I'm a 1.5 gen Asian Canadian man (born in Asia but migrated to Canada in my early teens), and I think my aesthetics combine the best of both worlds. Similar to western standards I like women that have olive or light brownish complexion and I also like slightly curvy women (perhaps not as curvy as the Kardashians but still have to be somewhat curvier than an average East Asian woman), but similar to eastern standards I like women that have large or deep-set eyes, preferably with double eyelids. And out of all the women I've met I think Far South Chinese, South China minority, and SE Asian women fit my criteria almost perfectly. They're generally tanner and curvier than East Asian women, and have larger eyes as well.
On the traditional Asian male archetype, I think a lot of it has to do with a continual influence of Confucianism where it teaches society to put more value on the development of the mind and proper morality over the emphasis on physical strength and perceived power. Confucius taught that if anything requires the use of force to bring resolution, it certainly ought to be solved through education first and avoid the use of force at all cost. I think thousands of years of this type of thinking has created a bias against the Western standard of masculinity as primitive, low class, and uneducated...

It is like Asa Akira vs. Song Hye Kyo.
It seems like frail, delicate, sheltered/pampered are central to the eastern beauty standards. Rugged, hardy, athletic/physically competitive, pioneering are central to the western Beaty standards. Physicality is so important in the west because of our histories regardless of ethnicity. We are an “of the land” people and we’re darn proud of it. That’s why we will mow our own lawns in the hot sun. But it seems East-Asian cultures have almost the completely opposite view. They mirror the social markers of past centuries that placed great importance on not appearing to make a living working the land/manual labor. Fair/white skin was visible proof of privilege and freedom from manual labor. In modern life, these folks wouldn’t be caught mowing a yard on a hot summer day for all the money in the world! Neither cultural view of beauty is right or wrong.
My orientation is heavily toward western beauty. I will say, after watching three-plus years of Kdramas, Cdramas and Jdramas many of the features that make top actors and actresses in these genres wildly popular in East Asia make those same people much less appealing in the west-outside West-Asian viewers. It’s also quite jarring to see how certain East Asian actors and actresses have dramatically “whitened” between their debut/early years and their modern adult selves. While some who have done this still look very attractive, others look less healthy today than they looked a decade ago. For me the milky white/ghost white look, the infantile female look and the super thin arms/legs have been the hardest to overcome in my continuing journey to enjoying East Asian culture & beauty. But now I can clearly see, respect and appreciate the beauty/attractiveness of East Asian beauty standards.
Yo
@10:29 S/O to who?? I didn't get the name
I'm standing up for Lee Jae Wook! He's so attractive. S. Korean standards don't seem to appreciate unique faces, whereas lots of Western models are prized for standing out with their features.
Who is middle girl 2:30? I have full facial hair and 6'1'' so I'm more accepted in the West I guess.
Lee Hyori; huge first-gen k-pop star.
@@landwand thank you!
Blind people can't tell.
Lucy Liu will still be considered beautiful in the east, but sorry for Simu Liu
make your own standards, break and mold ur own looks, make it comfortable and positive for health,mind,and soul. if all birds looked the same there would be less wonder and beauty in the world.
I’m SE Asian, dark, golden skin, proud of me!!!
Wasn’t-more specifically-Chinese beauty standards in media more diverse in the 80s and 90s though? Face shapes, skin complexion and hairstyle seemed more open and diverse than the narrow look in current media. China has ethnic diversity, I wish it was shown more in the perspectives of Western culture and even Eastern culture.
Siwon Choi is quite an attractive korean man. He doesn’t look to soft
i prefer the eastern standard of beauty 💯
Just think how many types of cars, suvs, trucks and etc. There are a seat for every ass. That is just external shapes and designs. 😂
As a typical WASP from the UK born and bred, I would love to engage in comment with you guys....just for fun on the internet. You answer a lot of questions, but we need to expand the debate more? Plus look at Europeans a bit.
Dayumm Michelle Yeoh had it goin on
Jenn Tran is super hot . Simone Ashley (Bridgestone) is just in another realm as far as beauty is concerned! It’s a rough battle between her and a younger Min Na Wen.
wmaf: the WM will take anything AF
No peace for the Fung brothers.
Never realized there was a difference, just that asians in western media looked a different for some reason and i couldn't put my finger on it.
I think someone like Dilraba Dilmurat has the look that can be appealing to both. Also Vicki Zhao.
american girls are bigger than timothy thats why they dont think of him as a protector where as in asia women generally have more slender shorter stature so timothy is still bigger than them and still can be seen as a protector
All too much make ups.
Not a fan of the pale look ngl
I don’t think any men like sassy, spunky, spicy girls. No matter what race. They just put up with that behaviour because the girl has higher SMV than him, simping.
Here I am disliking both. I want a makeup-free bookworm type that doesnt realize she is sooooo cute with her glasses off, that kinda thing.
Good luck 😆
The K-Pop boys wear just a bit too much makeup.
Slim body and refinement --> progressed and sophisticated vs. Bulky body and crude --> regressive and immature...East East vs. West standards...
Western bestern 😂
One of the Asian beauty photos was of Lee Hyori. She did a MV long ago for the song 'Miss Korea' that's a lampoon on Asian beauty standards and cosmetic surgery culture. Lee Hyori is anything but 'docile', she was a monster back in her day.
My two daughters...half Chinese, half Irish!!!
Yay?
West doesn't have any beauty standards
Lies
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd you mean facts
As African women who is into Korea Drama I think Korean celebrity women are beatiful and have beatiful features and feel good to look at them but I know most of them get that look from plastic surgery especially that V-shape face.
-Also Lead Korean men in Kdrama are handsome and good looking and cute and feel good to look at them but most of them are not manly.
-The only manly Lead Kdrama actor is Son Suk-Ku from Liberation Notes and Killer Paradox.
-I think enviroment and culture what determine a beaty standard both Western and Asian beaty standard a good.
-Also I like Olympic and I think Nathan Chen is more handsome than that cute G.O.A.T Japan ice sketer and I find Chloe Kim beatiful.
Western beauty is all vanity. Elegance is hard to come by.
In general girls tend to date guys who are less attractive than them, so IDK why those KPOP stans are tweaking lmao
Definitely not true for the average man and woman😂
bs even at worst they are still the same attractiveness it’s just women have makeup making them look better
Nobody here likes k pop
Eastern beauty standards use plastic surgery cheating 😂
Your people do the same, look at Liposuction. Look at your Ronaldo.
I blame kdrama and all the plastic surgery standards
I'm good with western standards I'm tall with blue eyes and a natural red tint to my hair I don't care about Asian standards
If you didn't care? Why did you feel tye need to comment on many videos of this channel? Seem so passionate for someone who doesn't care.
But blue eyes consider pretty in Asia too
Good to hear y’all’s perspective on this subject. I’m an American born Asian but I prefer the eastern beauty standards. Western women are too fat and it’s not desirable at all.
