Why is the oriental beauty in the eyes of foreigners not beautiful in our view?

This is mainly due to cultural and ethnic differences. In the eyes of many westerners, figure is the most important thing. In addition, they think that beautiful women are generally taller, and their noses are relatively straight, and their skin color is close to wheat color, so many supermodels are more in line with the aesthetics of westerners.

Personally, this may be because the skeletons of whites and blacks are relatively large, so they are generally tall and angular. And we know that girls in western countries are more open, so girls with lively personality and open mind are more popular with them. Therefore, in their aesthetics, they must be tall and even a little chubby.

In addition, there are some differences in the temperament that a beautiful woman should have. Westerners define beauty as white and beautiful, tall and plump, and have no persistent pursuit of inner temperament. We in China have been influenced by Confucianism since ancient times. Confucianism, as the orthodoxy of dynasties, has deeply influenced our people. In the history of hundreds or even thousands of years, our standards for beautiful women are generally gentle and sincere, relatively small and jasper-like.

Although people's thoughts are diversified now, they are still influenced by some traditional views to some extent. Like us, we like women's thin lips or "small cherry mouth", and our eyes must be big, preferably oval face. However, people in the west do not seem to have high requirements for the five senses, and the focus is on the figure. After all, there is no unified thought in modern European history, because perennial wars have led to more open minds.
