Girls Dig Sissy Guys?

Recently, thanks to the metrosexual vampiric looks Twilight offered, something long forgotten struck my mine while I was watching it: - "Asian girls like sissy boys while White girls prefer men."

I am not trying to degrade Asian women but seriously, I've got a huge problem with the whole "bishounen" taste. I mean, how can any woman be attracted to a man, who is somewhat half man, half woman?

A guy standing like 5'10, and weighs something like 110 lbs. This would probably not be the ideal man of choice amongst White girls, but Asian girls (especially Japanese) dig them! What can be more gay than that? I don't even know how it's possible for a guy to weigh below 135 lbs...

Perhaps this got to do with the rising influences of the Japanese's standard of sexual attractiveness in Asia? To start it off, let's look at how the young minds wee being, well.. "educated" since youth.

Most of us have read comics, or manga (Japanese) some point of time in our lives. In fact, I still am a big fan of X-Men. Guys in Western comics are usually well-built, manly and matured, while manga prefer to have their guys slender, young and metrosexual: -

Justice League of America.

Final Fantasy's Cloud Strife.

X-Men.

Yu Yu Hakusho

As this bishounen image proved to become quite an attraction amongst Asian girls, boys are taking them into real life: -




I used to think that these sissy guys are appealing only to Asian girls, but after more than 114 minutes of Edward Cullen, I start to think the bishounen virus has gone west too...
