If I were a girl I'd pick Ichiro. It'd be weird dating a guy that's like 3 feet taller than you, although maybe some girls like that, haha, I dunno.

by far, this is a no contest. ICHIRO SUZUKI! ichiro is much more attractive. i don't personally find anything attractive about yao ming at all. but that's my personal preference.

Well actually I think Yao Ming is more good looking than Ichiro...but then again, that picture above is not a very flattering picture of Yao. And once again, there has to be something awkward about holding hands with someone who looks like a walking Sears Tower.

12-10-2003, 04:21 PM
I didn't even know who Ichiro was before this. But gee, he's hansome - at least in those pictures. Ichiro is better-looking than Yao, but baseball bores me to death. I'm betting he's shorter than Yao (haha, no really), so that's a plus for Ichiro.

Ichiro it is. :)

Btw, you need another pic of Yao. That is not a flattering one of his flaring nostrils.

What if I told you that Yao has good footwork for a big guy? And that he has good hands, and he handles the ball with finesse (again, for a big guy). Doesn't that sway you at all? :biggrin:

Jo, seriously, return to innocence. I promise I won't judge your sordid past anymore, K? ;) Ok, we are off topic.


Ichiro has more appeal than Yao because he is prettier. Yao may be tall, but come on, his face makes babies cry. Ichiro at least looks like a normal human being. And Yao's height isn't even attractive. What is he, 7 feet tall? That's like over a foot taller than me. It's just not a good match. And forget trying to have sex with him, if everything is *ahem* in the correct ratios. Gimme the pretty boy with cute booty. At least we could go out without putting a bag on his head.

yao's for 2003: $4,450,000 but china wants in on part of that. see, now i find that ludicrous.. why should china get a piece of the pie? just because he's chinese and is inherently representing the country being in the NBA? the man is representing HIMSELF. china should get nothing in monetary compensation.

on the average, most NBA players make more than MLB players.. however, ichiro is actually quite big in MLB and yao's arrival had a lot of impact and presence.. but his game and his athletic abilities have not been awarded to show this nearly compared to that of NBA superstars.

EDIT: and i guess that happens in the US in some sense.. with taxes and the army and whatnot. but i dunno, this seems a bit extreme. yao signed the contract and was willing to do that, so more power to him i suppose. i don't know if i'd want that for myself.. that's all.

low standards? well, we're just talking about looks.. and even then, i tend to go for more average/decent looking guys than the drop dead gorgeous ones. my standards are quite high for guys, which is why i don't discriminate against race. i'll be lucky if i can find a guy that meets my standards on a non-physical appearance level.

haha.. exactly anne! because YOU don't think these guys are that great looking doesn't mean that others don't. and in some ways, i think that's anne and my preference towards hapas. it's not to say we don't or wouldn't date a non-hapa, but simply preference.

low standards? well, we're just talking about looks.. and even then, i tend to go for more average/decent looking guys than the drop dead gorgeous ones. my standards are quite high for guys, which is why i don't discriminate against race. i'll be lucky if i can find a guy that meets my standards on a non-physical appearance level.

*high five anne*


haha... fair enough.

don't take my comments so personally though... they weren't an attack on you or anne. just my honest opinion of their looks....

Hmmm, probly not..but still....it's good to know that the guys I perceive as good looking (i.e. the people I don't look like) aren't as good looking as the guys I perceive as average (i.e. myself) (or worse)

Yeah Girls don't like the extreme mongol looking thing called Yao Ming.
They'd rather have central Chinese aka Real Chinese look or the Shandong look (ancient Shandong) that is prevalent in japan and places in Southern China.
:)

But I dig the extreme Mongol look, especially in women. And this preference translates to my perception of what is a good looking man as well.

Edit: I meant to say, 'in women I mean', not 'especially in women'.

P.S. I really don't understand why there is so much talk about beauty and stuff, which I partake in as well...we're just all so naturally shallow, and what is the point of arguing who is hotter than who? Beauty is friggin' subjective and you actually think that by presenting your side that you will convince someone else that he/she is in fact not butt-ugly and in fact super fyne?

I mean, prettyness aside, Ichiro doesn't come across as the type of guy that spends hours grooming himself and picking out an outfit. I like a well groomed guy, but there's a limit to how much primping I'll stand for. And the guy can never, ever be prettier than me.

Hey, you posted it :tongue:

Yeah, I know. :tongue: I just wanted to see what type of reaction I'd get. That guy is actually "Silver Wolf" Masato. Currently THE baddest Muay-Thai fighter in the world. He could probably kick Yao's, Ichiro's and Apollo's asses all at the same time. The picture makes him look like a poof and is not indicative of his true "Bad-Ass"-ness. So, I just wanted to throw it up there and see what the responses would be.

And the guy can never, ever be prettier than me.

Basically the flat-faced slitty eye stereotype (Mongol Chinese)

vs. people in some parts of Japan or Southern China having bigger eyes (supposedly Real Chinese)

Just a stereotype, obviously people in China have a total mix of all features. Although I personally prefer the Mongol type de wimmen ^^ haha

Also, the peoples of ancient Shandong as proven by found skeletons were not of Mongolian stock or descent (or at least not from that area) and were closer to supposedly the original Han Chinese stock, so I guess that's where that idea comes from.

Have either of these 2 or any other Asian male athletes done much for the Asian male image? (I'm not saying it is their responsibility) I mean alot of the discussion around circles (mainly Asian males I guess) is that the pioneering Asian male athlete in American sports will help make Asian males seem more as "manly" (ex. having atheletic bodies, not short or geeky etc.) and be more mainstream in American society and not so much seen as outcasts (not saying that we are). From my observations that doesn't seem to be the case, there are still too few to make much of an impact I guess.
