i'm going to say it's different cultures, Asia does a lot of things differently than us. so it would stand to reason that they have a different definition of cute

No seriously, they don't visibly age as fast as... maybe not "other races," (I notice that black people tend to stay younger longer too) but definitely slower than white people. On the inside, they're just as creaky as everyone else, but if you go by white people face-aging standards, you have to add a decade before you're even in the right ballpark.

Maybe it's because they don't smoke as much or spend as much time in the sun as the white people you know. Both makes your skin age prematurely.

Try going to an arcade in Japan and tell me that they don't smoke that much. Or even better try going to a resturant. People are smoking there too. I think it has to do with their diet. All that raw meat is actually good for you.

No, really, honestly no.

I assume this has something to do with Asian facial structure, which is rounder than western. We (white people) associate roundness with children's faces so looking at an asian face a lot of people automatically (ans subconciously) associate the round shape with looking younger.

But it's a myth, they'll still look about 30 when they're 30, it just doesn't fit to what you expect '30' to look like, because you're looking for western features like squared up jawlines and increased muscle mass (even if you don't know you're looking for it, you are). The aging cues in asian bodies are slightly different, just like they're slightly different in african bodies, they're still there, you (or your subconcious mind) just needs to know what it's looking for.

Why would Asians think the bartender from The Simpsons is cute?

lol anyways I have to disagree we have quite our share of cute women and such over here in the states. I find that each race has there own examples of cute and hot so to place each one into there own category would be a disservice to the lovely ladies we are talking about.

oh and I lol'd about the Asain timewarp. It could be true though, they are developing a gundam

WTF, Asia has some sort of time control mechanism???
There was me thinking time passed the same speed for all of us here on Earth, but noooooo, the god dam Asians make it go slower their side of the world.

Dude, it's Japan.

And since when are teenage boys considered cute? I though we were considered vile, horrid creatures in need of extermination.

I'm pretty sure "cute" is generally defined the same wherever you go. Youthful features like big head, big eyes, smooth skin, etc. The Japanese just seem more into it than the US. I prefer cute (face) to sexy (body), myself, but having both is ideal. And teenage boys in the media are only considered cute by teenage girls, which is explained by their market.

Also, the absence of wrinkles might throw Westerners off a bit. :)

What? The only place with a substantially higher life expectancy is Japan.

He isn't talking about how long you live he is talking about how young you look like, say for example at 30 a western woman can have wrinkles and an Asian won't.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

My definition of "Western Cute" are baby animals and short, skinnyish females with cute smiles and maybe a little bit of freckles.

You have clearly never been to China. They smoke like chimneys over there. Japan too.
