It's a Matter of Taste

Being a man, I was familiar that different men have different preferences in women. Some men prefer women who are slim with model like bodies, while others like those who are more voluptuous. Some prefer taller and more full bodied women, while others prefer women who are more petite and more youthful in appearance. Some prefer dark beauties, others prefer women with lighter complexion.

I was wondering what are the different kinds of men women want. My question was answered indirectly when women I would meet would comment on my looks. I am tall and lanky and not really muscular with fair complexion. Some women find my physique just right, while others preferred if I would gain at least 30 pounds. For the ones that said that my weight was just right, I asked them why do other girls find me thin. They said that I was not thin, thin is when you can see the ribs exposed. A number of women also said that they were not fond of the muscular types. They said that the massiveness of those men make them feel uncomfortable. Others preferred darker ones, while others fairer ones. Majority if not all though preferred flawless skin.

Some women also have wierd tastes. One I met just recently preferred muscular men with scary looking eyes. She wanted him either bald or with long hair. Concerning baldness, a few years back I was walking in a an area where there were several bald men. Several women found several of the men handsome. Hmmmmm, I always thought that hair had something to do with handsomeness, but the lack of it?

On attitude, some women prefer women who are dominant and macho. Others prefer men who are more sensitive and sweet. Haven't you noticed that a lot of women now enjoy having gay friends. Forget the borders within the sexes, in this age anything goes. I even met a family which is comprised of the parents and four children, straight male, straight female, gay and lesbian. The mother says that they all get along and they are one happy family. I always believed that variety promotes happiness.

When it comes to the different races/nationalities, there are also different tastes. I've been to several bars and noticed that people will often look for what they don't have. A lot of Filipinos prefer mestiza looking women. Look at our commercials on beauty. Our asian counterparts are the same, the Koreans and Japanese that I've seen prefer the fairer ones. Japanese I heard prefer the younger looking and thinner ones. Some of the asians could be picky, no stretch marks and no children.

Americans and Europeans seem to have different tastes. A lot of them prefer dark and thin women. While a lot of Filipinos prefer women with large breasts, a lot of Americans and Europeans have had enough of large breasts in their country and prefer smaller breasts. I've noticed that this group of people would not mind women going up to them and introducing themselves. Sometimes, they even seem to prefer it. They seem to want women with an attitude, a woman who speaks her mind and is not afraid to be blunt. Japanese seem to prefer quieter women.

The bars/nightclubs the Asians go to are also very different from the bars/nightclubs the Americans and the Europeans go to. The ambiance is almost opposite. Japanese like going to bars where they can sing their favorite songs. They can be very meticulous with manners and hygene. I've heard that women who go to Japan are taught to always keep the table dry, carefully wiping moisture on the table from the man's drink. When serving liquor, the tip of the bottle must not touch the glass of the customer. Americans and Europeans seem to prefer louder and up front women. Even on the first meeting women can treat them as equals. Imagine going to a bar with your foreign boss from abroad and bringing him to a bar. Then the waitress that attends to you calls your boss by his first name on the first meeting.

Once I talked to a foreigner about what he thinks about Filipina women. Aside from saying that Filipinas are very hospitable, he said that the foreigners like it here because Filipinas can talk English quite well. He also said that they smell good, and that we're one of the cleanest people in the world. A Filipino friend of mine who has travelled abroad has also said the same thing. What you see in television is not exactly true. We see the beautiful actors and actresses gracing the t.v. screen and assume that a lot of them look like that. But the common person abroad is not the same. A lot of countries have problems with their citizen's obesity. In some other countries, the citizens are usually obese or too thin.
