Generally speaking though, I find attractive women I've met more attractive than those I've seen in pictures.
Attractive? Yes. 'Cause, you know, that's how attractiveness works.

But if we're ranking on gorgeousness... well that's a Brahmin of a different colour.

I do, if you consider the actual metaphor he is alluding to! You must remember, at times, Nag speaks a different language than anyone else. I would have thought you knew that by now :D

Again, it's a reference to a reference.

I'll dumb down to an easier reference of a reference.

That's a horse of a different colour!


The my original post was quoting the greatest computer game RPG of all time (which in turn was, of course referencing the line from the film). You will now go away and play the afore mentioned computer game until you understand at least 10% of the obscure "pop"-culture references I make. That or risk being a □

Arn't Brahmins generally "whiter" than other Indian castes? I've heard of that before, and it made me kind of chuckle at the joke.

Got it; thanks for bearing with my denseness (density?). But with CE gone, someone has to ask about all the references, right?

Maybe sometimes but not necessarily. There is quite a range of color in India, even within the same family at times.

I actually thought of Brahmin as Nag actually meant it at first, but I didn't know if that was how Nag actually meant it until his next post.

She`s way hotter when you first see her in the movie. Honestly, though, a picture just simply does not do her justice.

Miss Slovak Republic seems very lovely IMO.

Funny story, a good friend of mine was Miss USA last year, Kristen Dalton. Most famous thing to come out of my town since Micheal Jordon :lol:

In regards to Asian women: they may look good now, but once they get old, they ain't worth it.

Most women get fat and wrinkly when they get old. It's only natural.

That said, Japanese women age pretty well, and usually stay thin. Of course they'll get old and wrinkly later on, like anyone does, but many will still look like their a teenager in their thirties.

Case in point: Aki Hoshino... again:

She's almost 34.

34 isn't really considered old.

And compared with other races, I have to say Asians age the worst

Then I would say you haven't met very many Asians. The older ones I've met have aged damn well.

Point with her being in her thirties is she still look like she's in her teens rather than twenties. I know plenty of American women that are in the late thirties, early forties that still look like they're in their late twenties, but I've never met one in their early thirties that looks to be in their late teens. Japanese women on the other hand age better than just about anyone, and in fact have the highest life expectancy in the world.

You're trying to compare an average American women to a Asian model. Yeah no. You know as well as I do that there are many many more American models who are practically ageless. Models are an exception to all this.

I've met many Asians and their mothers. They aren't the best at aging. I live in California, and we have probably one of the highest populations of Asians here. I think I know what the hell I'm talking about. Where did you lived? Idaho if I'm not mistaken? Not so many Asians there.

And quite frankly, life expectancy has nothing to do with this. You can live long, but you aren't that pretty when you get that old.

You disappoint me.

I was born in Idaho. I've never really lived there; I just go there for vacation. And the Asians that are in Idaho are HOT! I've lived in Lawton/Fort Sill most of my life, and military bases always have very, very high multiculturalism. I've also been going to college for over three years now. Cameron University has a huge international student population for its size. We have a hell of a lot of Nepalese people and Nigerians, and more than our fair share and variety of Asians. I've also been to DC a few times now, and the Asians there do not disappoint. My God...

Don't underestimate someone with a military life.

In any case, you have missed my argument. I have been arguing that Japanese women, not Asian women, age better than anyone else. You cannot dispute that. The facts are against you. I have also argued that most women get fat and wrinkly as they age. Indeed, the only thing I have stated in favor of older Asian women as a whole is the ones that I have seen in person, which are many, do not look bad at all for their age.

THESE THINGS SAID, it depends on the race and culture of the person in question. Japanese are in general thin and healthy. Americans these days are in general overweight, and the same thing is happening to the UK. People idealize the typical Japanese woman because they are sick of seeing the typical fat American woman. I will give you that being nice and thin and healthy is not a pan-Asian thing. I never argued that. This thing is unique to Japan. But I will hold that the older Asian women I have met look good for their age, while acknowledging that there are several Asian women that also do not age well.

You're argument is based on the evidence of your own eyes, which is well enough. The minor portion of my argument has to do with that as well. However, you can not disprove the research done showing Japanese women as the healthiest women on Earth, of whom the majority of my argument has been about. You have no case there.

Once more thing. That Aki Hoshino is almost 34 and looks like she does is amazing. I was not using her as an argument for all Asian women, but rather as an example of how well Japanese women age. She is beautiful, other Japanese women can be ugly, but do the ugly ones look any different at 35 than they did at 25? 15? That'd be something interesting to look into.

Most likely they aged well, but started out ugly.

It's much easier to underestimate Asians' age compared to some races. I won't argue that that makes Asians in general more attractive though; even Asians prefer Caucasoid facial features, even on their Asians.

Big deal. DC, a military base, those places have nothing on Californian locations like Irvine or Dan Fransisco. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, we had them all.

Point is, Japanese people and whatever other oriental you want to throw into the mix, age poorly in my opinion. I don't care how long they live.
