Having smaller butt is also an offense? People are responsible for their genetics?

South Asian thin does not mean being boobless.


You are talking like having smaller mammary glands is a personal choice or a character flaw.

The Kardashians are the opposite of thin.

I'm not denying that these factors matter to some extent, or that people who lack these qualities are slightly less likely to end up married, but it amazes me that people can live on this planet for decades and not observed that human mating is extremely complicated and cannot be reduced to a handful of simple dimensions.


This exactly.

Most people want to date someone who likes most people and is generally not a difficult person to get along with.

If a woman is thin, nice, and smiles, she will have lots of good opportunities. It's quite easy, actually.

Nobody here cares about this because it does not apply to their world.


I don't know what it triggered your response but as this is an anthropological discussion at this point, it made sense to mention another norm.
I noticed that too and I think with the job market being what it is now, it is sad to see people’s triggered reactions to anyone mentioning south [east] asians. It’s ok ladies, I have seen women of all races and ethnicities serving body. There’s enough out there for all of us. Keep up the great work ladies!

South Asian height is relative and the thinness is a relatively new western inspired ideal.

Men love a great body.



Yes, but the debate is what’s a great body. White women think a great body is thinner and more shapeless than anyone else.


Asians are even thinner. It's not just a white woman's way of thinking.


I am not aware of middle aged Asians dieting to become shapeless and considering that “a great body.”

Do you have a better shot at dating?


No. Thin or Fat - both looks bad.

Men like proportionate and feminine women. And that could come in all shapes and sizes - curvy, slim, toned, athletic ... and a range of sizes. XS, S, M, L, XL

But, even with these body types, you need to be attractive.
