I don't find 'perfection' attractive at all; the idea of of a perfectly symmetrical face, perfectly white teeth and a perfect skin complexion just makes you look unrealistic, like a doll almost. A couple of quirks to break that up and make you look human is a good thing. I can't speak for Japan (not been there) but Malaysia had a LOT of very attractive women. When I went shopping, it wasn't the windows I spent most of my time looking at...

Absolutely, a little "imperfection" can sometimes give a lot of personality to a face. Just think how popular Laetitia Casta was for several years, and how she kind of got under the spotlight at first for having those far from perfect teeth.


As for the chat about ethnic preferences, heh, can't help it, it just happens certain races have common traits one does not find attractive. For instance I rarely find black women very attractive for quite similar reasons as Ixarku: I'd add the mouths too, as I dislike large lips (thus I find those women who actually turn to surgery to inflate them horrifying... bleargh).
As I also prefer oval shaped faces over square-jawed ones I'm also often not much into some northern european ethnic groups.

Of course this is far from being even close to the "deal breakers" we were talking about, but preferences are pretty natural.

Absolutely. It's normal, mulattos tend to have an healthier genetic stock and often their looks show it by being on average more "attractive" (as in more consistent with those traits we subconsciously recognize that way). Aesthetics aside, every kind of racial purity preaching is ludicrous, as the smaller the breeding pool is the weaker the genetic stock gets. It's on a far larger scale, and as such potential health issues are far less severe and the time needed to actually have measurable results is far longer, but it's pretty much the same thing that made us instinctively learn that breeding with members of our own family is a no-no.

Which leads me to wonder if how Japanese are used to inbreeding on the same small island for thousands of years has anything to do with their fetish about little sisters...  :laugh:

Or the whole thing surrounding cousins; nobody batting an eyelid if the two of them get it on. Like the gene pool is far enough removed at this point for it all be ok...

Saras:
I believe I heard about a practice of adopting a "perspective future spouse" for their children in the recent past, to ensure a suitable companion for their own children. I've also heard that as a reason as to why the whole "blood-unrelated sibling" love interest comes into play in manga. But take that with a grain of salt, as the source for it was 4chan.

I suppose you could also tie this in with the story of Hikari Genji and his wife-to-be by own design, Murasaki.

undetz:
I think you mean "prospective".

Saras:
I probably do.
