Western vs. Thai Women

Here is a link to a very interesting article I found, about Western Women and Thai Women:

Bad Boys, Badder Girls, and An Ugly View Of Life

Women’s attraction to “jerks” and “bad boys” is a well-known occurrence. You know… that phenomenon where all the pretty (and not-so-pretty) women run after the 5% of guys who are unemployed, drug-addicted, possibly-criminal gangsters, or worse. While all the time totally ignoring their more polite, cultured, accomplished, and intelligent counterparts.

Now this issue has been debated ad nauseum, both in the blogosphere and elsewhere. The general consensus that seems to have been reached is that this is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Bad boys are subconsciously perceived by women as being “strong”; and this is some sort of innate genetic thing. Call of The Wild and all of that.

So that’s that then.

Then again, maybe not…

A few years back, I read about a study that was conducted sometime during the 70’s or 80’s. Researchers asked highschoolers from 2 different countries to choose which of their classmates they considered to be the most popular and attractive, and give reasons for their choices.

Now, one of these groups was American, and the other was Chinese (or maybe Japanese, I don’t recall exactly). The results of this survey were interesting…

The American results were as one would have expected from a Western country. The extroverted, aggressive, sporty/cheerleader types won the vote hands down.

The Asian results, however, were the exact opposite. The majority of the Asian students voted their quiet, introverted, sensitive, and intellectual classmates as being the most popular and attractive…

Their responses indicated their appreciation of these types for their reserved dignity & leadership, intelligence, and empathetic advocacy, among other things.

Now I can imagine that this has probably changed somewhat within the last 30+ years with the amount of Westernisation that has taken place in East Asia.

But the broader point here is that this suggests that attractiveness and popularity are more a result of culture and socialisation, than they are genetic. Our ideas of what we think are attractive qualities, physically and personality-wise, are informed by the messages we receive from the culture we live in, including the media.

The post-60’s Western culture has made “good” “bad” and “bad” “cool”. And the overwhelming majority of modern Western[ised] Women are psychological basketcases, wrecked by Feminism and the Cult of Entitlement that have taught them that they can do no wrong, and jaded from a lifetime (however long or short) of promiscuity in a permissive society.

They say that “water always finds its own level”. Given that so many Western Women are a psychological mess, is it any wonder that they are attracted to those Men who as just as messed up as they are?
