It depends on the culture and generation...
Traditional Chinese feminine ideal envisions a person with an oval face shaped like a watermelon seed, large eyes, and small mouth. The old cartoon character Betty Boob would be a close western equivalent. Zhang Ziyi certainly doesn’t fit that description. However, she’s extremely beautiful by most people’s standards.
People in Taiwan have a preference to pale skin. It is common to see girls with open umbrellas on sunny days to avoid tans.
Judging from tv and Jpop, I’d say the Japanese are attracted to girls with symmetrical baby-face features. Everything and everyone has to be kawaii, kawaii, kawaii.

Korean people seem to like,
- Kim Tae Hee
- Song Hye Kyo
- Daniel Henney
- Lee Jun Ki
- white people, especially female Russian tennis players, blonde women in general, Jessica Alba (very popular in Korea!) and male models with piercing blue eyes.
This is all judging from the posters and advertisements I saw in Korea.

Visors like these? http://www.flickr.com/photos/vonvonvon/250824246/
I'm not a fan of them...
If you ask me what I think of Zhang Ziyi... she is just alright nothing to be fancy about. I think it is just a fact that ppl are just more aware of her since she is in the spotlight.

Is this just about women? Many women I've heard from think Tiger Woods is an ugly mo-fo. To me he looks Thai more than anything else, but I don't think he's ugly. His body shape is pretty strange by my own standard. I saw him in-person back in January. He's got very broad, strong shoulders, and a pair of SKINNY pencil-like legs.

I think Tiger has predominantly Asian features except for his lips, hair, and skin-tone. He is actually more Asian than African-American, being 1/4 Thai and 1/4 Chinese (and only 1/4 African-American). When asked by a sports magazine sometime ago what race he bubbles in for those standardized questionnaire forms, etc..., he answered "Asian." It's funny how the Black community always accuses Tiger of shunning them when he identifies more with his Asian roots. His compact, chiseled body shape is perfectly-suited for swinging a golf club. He is also very strong; the guy can bench press 300 lbs.

i think different people care about different things. its funny my wife never was considered the pretty one of her group, but for me she was easily the first person i gravitated toward. (She has been told she looks like Natsumi Abe...) What the japanese guys i know consider pretty / hot and what i do don't match SO often that its really strange. i guess cultural diferences._________________ Please visit my homepage!  Nikos World
