Japanese beauty standards for girls

[Caramelletje]

Asian beauty standards are easy to grasp. 1: be skinny (preferably underweight) 2: be white

Why is everyone mad at her, she is just answering a question? Like bro she answered correctly.

[neauxmad]

Gotta order pants and shoes all the time. Or just keep your clothes from your last visit home.

[Iamliterallythatgirl]

In America u get skinny shamed and fat shamed either way lmao💀

[creamage.]

[phlasaban]

japan is one of those places that are absolutely magical to visit every now and then but hell to actually live in

“My legs are too long and I can’t wear Japanese jeans” 😂

[clowicous]

My sister is considered really skinny in Polynesian standards but when she went to visit Japan she said she couldn’t buy ANY clothes at all, she already knew with her big chest she wouldn’t be able to find tops but she was surprised that no pants fit her and one store the lady even told her she was too big 🤣

My sister (white, VERY thin, black hair, fair skin, green eyes, 5’9) worked for a Japanese modelling agency for years. She would get approached in the streets daily as if she was famous because of her appearance, in Osaka. Her agency had strict rules like she could NOT get a tan, at all, couldn’t gain weight, get freckles, dye her hair, etc. One of her coworker friends gained a few (3-5) pounds and they actually cut off her weekly allowance so she literally couldn’t afford food. It’s brutal over there. Beauty over everything.

Her friends bought her food btw. And have her these pills to make her loose weight so she could get money again.

Edit: to all the people with the “they chose to be in this/so hard to be pretty” attitude, you have to understand that most of the models are children. They’re under 18 and they don’t know the difference and probably don’t have the best family dynamics. So yes, I understand that there’s larger problems in the world and that they did join of their own free will….. buuuut how good were you at life choices at 15?

She speaks at least 3 languages fluently. Pretty impressive

About the short hair long hair part, it's the same in Korea. Maybe it's because Korea and Japan both had hair regulations in school some years ago. We are used to having short hair I guess

As a tall Asian I understand the pain of buying jeans. The longest ones are like calf-length.
WE DEMAND LONGER JEANS!!

[bleh]

Bro if I move to Japan I’ll be morbidly obese 💀

[hawkeyemadi]

So basically just be white, skinny and blonde. What's new?

[jiminyougotnojams]

In India the one who cuts their hair short are actually spends more money on salon 😭😭✨

All the comments trying to invalidate her. This is her experience. She was asked her opinion about Japanese beauty standards and this is what she's noticed. Even if you live there you may have a different perspective, but that doesn't mean that hers is wrong.

[neill]

She’s the ideal Japanese/Korean beauty standard…white and blonde.

How to say you're Russian with no saying that you're Russian

[larking]

The truth is- no matter what a woman does- wears- looks like, there will always be men interested. Always.

Skinny blonde is their highest standard of beauty, then that means the natural women there aren't the highest standard. I respect this culture so much for everything they have contributed to the world and their kindness to others. They are all so beautiful no matter what size.
