Oh.. sexy Mr. Wong
Sexiness is attractive, sexiness is appealing. Sexiness is what we all like to have.
I’ve been having this thought in my head for quite some time, but I am still not quite sure how to crystallize what it is. But it goes something like this:
We are all used to sexual stereotypes. To be Caucasian is to have sharp features, well endowed bodies and a natural charm, some with beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. My female cousins grew up wishing they’d one day hook up with a handsome gweilo (caucasian). Heck, even I grew up absolutely adoring caucasian women, probably still do. To be latin, is to be hot and sexy by default. The men are all passionate romantics with moustaches, and a sexy accent. The women are all confident, sexy and not afraid speak their mind. To be black is to have attitude, and a certain coolness, especially with that funny slang which would sound absolutely stupid when any other kind of people try to use it….. can you imagine you chinese neighbour talking like snoop dog? It just sounds totally weird. Not to mention, black men have a reputation of being rather *ahem* large in a certain departments
Then there are Asians, or specifically Orientals, which is what am really try to get at here. To be oriental female is perhaps appealing to people of other colours; mysterious, slender, petite, not overly outspoken but sweet and polite, whats not to like right? It is not uncommon to see say a Chinese girl dating a Caucasian man.
But to be oriental male is just tragic. With maybe a few exceptions here and there, the rest of us have the sexual attractiveness of say… a really handsome mule. Lets face it, the minute you think of oriental men, it’s short, squinty eye and linguistically challenged. Not to mention, oriental men have a reputation of being rather *ahem* ‘short’ in certain departments, and I’m not talking about their height. The oriental male is just not sexy. Foreigners can come to
I’m not sure if its our squinty eyes that is to blame. After all, our women have them too, but it doesn’t stop others from being seen as attractive. Or is that issue with *ahem* sausage size? Well, sorry if we weren’t all born with German sausages. Regular sausages taste just as good, and you don’t choke trying to eat it…….you just have to be willing to give it a try…… ( I’ve said too much). Maybe its not physical. Maybe it’s the language and attitude. Perhaps it’s the lack of confidence. Or is it our innate shyness? Lack of sophistication?
I’m not sure if what I said makes any sense, or if you understand what I am trying to convey. I just have this general impression that everybody in this world (including myself) have a hard time trying to imagine oriental men as being sexy. Brad Pitt is sexy. Hugh Grant is sexy, George Clooney is sexy. Is Jackie Chan sexy? Is Jet Li sexy? Is the new UN secretary general sexy? To prove my point, when have you ever seen any international magazine name an oriental male as a sex icon? I don’t have an answer as to why my fellow men just aren’t sexy. There is something missing. When God was making all the peoples of this world, perhaps he forgot to put a few dabs of ‘sexy’ into our mould. Oh well…. I guess we’ll have to just do without it and hope women would still be willing to marry us despite or total lack of sexual attractiveness. On the bright side, if you ever marry an oriental guy, you don’t need to worry about other women going after your man, since there won’t be any!
