Like many, many American men, I have a huge thing for Asian girls. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipina, whatever. So many of them seem to be hotter, to me, than the percentage of hot non-Asian girls. Where, oh where, does this fetish come from? What past sunconscious experience, or genetic predisposition, makes a guy really attracted to Asian women? I just find the facial appearance of Asian females very, very attractive. I know I am not alone here. It seems like Asian girls are the most specifically lusted-for demographic, on the basis of ethnicity, in this country. For example, there is so much Asian porn marketed in the US and clearly it is being eaten up by American male audiences, so there must be a large group of men in this country who like the way Asian girls look. Why, though, is there this attraction? It can’t be just because they’re “exotic” and “different.” Women from the Middle East, or from South America, or from Africa also look different and “exotic,” but I don’t find myself specifically attracted to them. There is something about the unique facial structure of Asian girls that I like - the specific distances between the nose and mouth, the shape of the eyes, the overall look of the face, that I find intensely appealing. Why, though? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-causes-a-fetish-for-asian-women/310872)._
