Men Beauty Standards : West vs Asia

FACE 

           

The most popular surgery procedures in Asian men are double eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. Asian men typically desire higher nose bridges and big eyes. Looks are a big deal in Asia, and they even go to the extreme of photoshopping their passport photo, government ID photo to make their eyes appear larger and face slimmer. Face size is also a huge thing. The smaller the better. However, in the West, if you tell someone they have a small face, to some it can come as an insult. “Pretty” boys, men with feminine features, are very popular in ASIA.

In the West, a bearded masculine look is popular. Men typically desire to have a strong jawline. Brad Pitt, David Beckham and Johnny Depp are all famous for their beautiful jawlines.

SKIN 

 In Asia, the paler the skin, the better. Dark skin is a symbol of the working class, like farmers who work in the sun all day. So, most try to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. They also take good care of their skin, especially in Korea, as there is a wide range of men skin care products and even makeup for men easily available for purchase. In the West, if you are tan, it’s a sign of good health and vitality, and a touch of the exotic. The darker you are, the more fun it meant you had. Golden skin gives you status, opposite of Asian standards. Tattoos in men are also very popular and common in the West compared to Asia.

BODY

In the West, men desire to have the perfect muscular body. An ideal male body type has a broad upper body, including shoulders, biceps and pectoral muscles, also known as the “V-shape”. In Asia, the ideal body Asian women desire in a male are slender bodies with a little bit of lean muscle.
