Why do some races have better looking women than men?

The appearance of men and women from the same races tend to be similar. I.e. in some areas of the world, both men and women are tall, short, generally petite, dark-skinned, light-skinned, have certain features etc.
The Western ideal of today tend to favour tall men, yet not consider height so important for females. Which means that in certain countries where everybody are short, the women will be 'more attractive' than the men. Just one example.
It's a matter of personal opinion also. I don't personally find the women from the countries you mentioned that attractive. Also, they tend to have more body hair in certain countries which I find okay for men (with certain limitations), yet not for females. There are some girls at my school with some serious monobrows...

I agree with you in essence. The Western ideal of beauty for men is the Mesomorph body type, i.e large bone structure, large muscles, a naturally athletic physique. However, my perception is that most Asian men are ectomorphs or endomorphs. Hence they are deemed as less good-looking by people who have Western ideals of beauty.
Body hair is another Western ideal thing. Women are supposed to have hair only on their head and nowhere else in this mentality. But hang on, some women naturally have hair on their body, arms etc as well. There's nothing un-feminine about it.

Beauty, or rather what is deemed as beautiful, is to a certain extent a societal construct. Maybe before the Europeans colonized Africa and imposed their ideals, black men didn't care particularly for slender women. Nowadays, my black friends all prefer women with a slim figure. Few black girls around here have that slim figure.

Symmetry (which leads to beauty, by the way) is something we have an innate appreciation for. Facial symmetry, for example, indicates how healthy you are, or how healthy your life has been when you were younger. Do you think race affects facial symmetry? I don't. Therefore, I don't think one can say that some races have better looking women than men.

I think race CAN affect facial symmetry actually. I've noticed orientals in general have very symmetrical faces. Other races less so. Esp. us South Asians

Really? Is that so? I'm not sure... So does that mean South Asians/ Indians enjoy better health than other races? Or does that put into question the correlation between facial symmetry and health?

I didn't know there was any correlation between facial symmetry and health. So is it like....if your face isn't symmetrical you are more healthy? Haha doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure East Asians enjoy better health than us and they have more symmetrical faces than us so maybe there is a correlation? I dunno LOL

A lot of these statements regarding one gender of a race or nationality being ugly have political roots. It is common for Japanese men to say they find Chinese women attractive and Chinese men unattractive (thus alluding to the idea of being willing to 'conquer' their women and chastise their ugly men).

I don't think so. Some physical characteristics shared by both sexes can look better in one than another.

For East Asians, for example, the slender build is clearly more suited to women, whreas in black people, the facial features, hair and skin colour are much more suited to a male. That's why black males get white women but black women don't do well with white men.
This also clearly leads on to other, non-physical characteristics, like confidence, presence etc, which are attractive in males but annoying in females. A black man has "swag", whereas a black woman is just loud and irritating.

For example IMO South Asian (Indian, Pakistani etc) girls and East Asian (China, Japan) girls are waaay more attractive than their male counterparts. Like...yes ofcourse there are attractive guys of that race too but they're a lot more rare. With Caucasians I'd say its pretty much equal. Why is this? Does anyone agree with this?

EDIT: just making it clear again that this is just MY opinion. I am in no way stating "Asian girls are better looking than Asian guys" as a fact.

Was referring to South Asian, obviously.
I find Chinese girls alright-looking, but never beautiful. There is that rare exception of Lucy Liu appearance, but all over, they never stand out. For men, it's usually something you're really into or not.
A true beauty, IMO, is someone like Charlize Theron or Natalie Portman.
