Women are now going for effeminate men.

wow, another clueless female who needs to get back to you know where.

The joke goes as follows, "where do sharks go for a chinese?"

THAT IS THE JOKE MY DEAR FEMALE FORUM GOER. <<times this rolleyes by infinity and you get close to what i think of you

No, it's not short for Japanese actually.

When it was first invented it was, but since the events of WWII it has been taken as a racial slur which inevitably brings offensiveness.

People should stop being so lazy and say the full word, it literally saves 1 second of your life, big deal.

Being called a Brit doesn't have racist connotations as people don't use it as an insult, but I'm sure if someone did it would become an offensive term, meanings change over time.

It's short for Japanese.

I would call someone Jap in a non-insulting way.

If you want to see it as racist, go for it. I don't.

You should stop getting so het up about people using a word in a non-racist way. You look for the racist in something non-racist.

I dont get it.

Researchers have found that the pill changes the perception of what women find attractive – and therefore could alter their taste in men.

Experts at Sheffield University believe the effect could lead to a form of "unnatural selection" and to a reduction in genetic compatibility.

It is well established, that women's attractiveness to men and their perceptions of attractiveness fluctuate depending on where they are on their menstrual cycle.
Just before they ovulate they are more attractive to men, and also find more "manly" men attractive.

However the use of the pill effectively eliminates this cycle and therefore women always prefer the same men throughout the month.

That is they prefer more feminine and homely men – men that are closer to them genetically. If the theory is correct, it could partly explain the difference in looks of today's heart-throbs such as Leonardo DiCaprio, compared to the more chiselled tough guys revered by women before the pill like Kirk Douglas.

The research also suggests that taking the pill after you start seeing someone could damage the long-term prospects of your relationship.
That could mean women going on the pill after they have met someone suddenly find them less irresistible.

I found my boyfriend attractive before I went on the Pill and his attractiveness has stayed the same or perhaps got better, so I don't think this is true for all cases.

There could be some truth behind these theories, but be careful not to generalise because sexual preferences are different for everyone.

Of course it's not the only relevant factor, but it does play a role (messing with hormones has lots of side effects, not all purely physical).

Out if interest, how old were you when you went on the pill?

A similar result is that when women have not fully matured, they tend to find feminine men/boys more attractive.

Again, this is by no means the reason you are attracted to who you are attracted to (there are countless reasons), but just a contributing factor (the amount of which varying person to person).

People here are saying some woman like this some woman like that but we all know the ideal man is someone powerfull in charetcer yet sensitive as well. If someone wears skinny jeans etc it doesnt make them less of a man by that alone, its their charecter, though saying that most people who do wear skinny jeans are fags. Put simply, if your couragous and brave then you define manliness, no matter what you wear. For a women, beauty and innocence defines them.

I live in Hong Kong, and **** me, there are way, way, way too many effeminate men.

What's shocking? Some women are actually going for these "men". Skinny jeans, long hair with fringes, nose piercings, skinny arms, you name any feminine characteristics, and BOOM these men have 'em.

Now, I'm not saying women aren't attracted to masculine/alpha males who go to the gym (and work out with weights, not going on the cycling machine reading a magazine and at a speed of about 2 km/h), obviously not.

But why on earth would a woman want to be courted by a "man" who is almost no less womanly?

Men dressing effeminately is a huge turn off for me. My boyfriend has short dark hair and trained in the Army so he's pretty masculine, and I'm so glad of this!

I have no idea why girls find these guys attractive either really, especially if he comes out with "could I borrow your straighteners?" - yikes.

Each to their own though I guess.

Some women would find men trained in the army, total waste of space, losers who love to get bossed around and can not think for themselfs.

Personally i think men should be men and women should be women.

What's wrong with a man using straightners though? I think it's nice, it shows they're taking care of their appearance. I'm not on about femenine men here, but I think a lot of modern men like to have nice hair, so why not straighten it? There's nothing inherently girly about it.

Because women wish they could be men?











BUUUUURNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

im from hong kong as well and yes there are tons of these....creatures trudging about

we call them the &quot;locals&quot;, those of us who do not succumb to this strange japanese wannabe obsession, we call ourselves the &quot;internationals&quot;, im not sure why, but its a common demonym that is used to separate the two massively distinct cultures

one reason the locals dress like this is due to genes, us orientals tend to have a much thinner bone structure, hence that fashion trend is developed to fit that body type

it would be just as bad to see one of us in clothes 4 sizes too big if the wearer was intending to make himself look bigger, which does exactly the opposite

the other reason is well....the obsession with japanese culture, this sort of trend originated in japan with those rebel, emo, rocker types, the fringe over the hair thing is meant to symbolise a....disturbed, sinister, o-so-tragic-please-pity-me demeanor, in other words, &quot;cool&quot;

they also tend to put bright highlights in their hair to make them look more &quot;unique&quot;, since oriental hair has one and only one configuration - black and straight

frankly, theyre vile, but i may be biased, speaking from an &quot;international&quot; perspective
