I'm more interested in things like the traditional kimono or modern trends like ganguro and lolita fashions, the onne bugeisha warriors, the samurai, the shinobi and kunoichi, the geisha girls and the modern equivalents known as "hostesses", the yakuza mafia, the beautiful flowers they grow such as cherry blossoms, the various dolls and masks they have, shintoism, the monsters in Japanese folklore such as the onryo and ningyo, the rebuilding of their country after World War 2, etc.

There's so much to love about the country besides their silly cartoons and comic books! They are a beautiful country with a rich culture and strong, intelligent, and amazing people. 8)

Btw I have a thing for slavic men. They're so sexy and manly! I love their accents and deep voices. :oops:

Italian men are sexy too! :oops:


I appreciate someone bringing up 'ethnic preferences' for when it comes to what they find attractive :| .

I know it's silly but I always get sad this time of year because for eg 2018 is almost gone and I don't like things being gone forever.
I don't mind spring going, my favourite season, because it will be back the next year. Same with May, my favourite month.



Yes, you have a point here. Spring isn't very pleasant in my current city as it's usually so windy. Autumn is the pleasantest time of the year here!

I had a nice three hour nap this afternoon. I had German folk music playing quietly in the background and I didn't get up to answer the phone. I think I'll be tired for another 6 weeks.

It's considered politically incorrect but when you think about it of course it plays a part. Romantically, there's the cultural aspect. Sexually, there's that and the physical aspect as well and the vocal one and the beauty of a language.
I don't think it should be considered politically incorrect unless you're talking about what's unattractive. Then you're likely to run the risk of hurting someone's feelings and it's fair enough to not tell for eg an English man that you think Englishmen are all ugly.
I like Indian women and women from European countries like Germany, Italy, Ireland. Quite a range.
I like young men from Italy and Ireland and Scotland. And Latino ones. I find Scottish young men look different to English ones, but I'm not going to say English ones are ugly and hurt someone's feelings. (Anyway, Patrick Roberts...) I like my young men to be tanned with pretty, androgynous faces and attitudes and dark black hair. Else they can be ours, football and politics wise.
I have no idea why but I also like Pavee men. The sort who are completely against my politics and who often people regard as 'ugly'. Except people will, probably unwittingly, say they find Shayne Ward hot. But then he is a complete exception femininity wise, he's quite a feminine man and very far that way as far as they go. Those are generally the real bad boys. I guess it's because I like Irish accents and if a guy's going to go macho/bad boy he might as well go the whole hog and these guys tend to take care of themselves physically. And they still have the slightly tanned, dark haired thing going on. (I know it's unpc to say Travellers are bad boys but erm the one I had a brief flirtation with/my muse was...)
My favourite culture's Irish, I have background there and know a ton of stuff about it like literature and art and history. It's not as twee as people assume it is.
I refused to learn German when I was a school girl because I wanted to attract people who wanted someone feminine (ironic considering I've always been tomboy/butch, someone female sounding I guess) and French is so much prettier as a language. I still think that but there are a lot of pretty German femme women to look at.

Actually learning about art and the techniques behind it really does change your eye in ways that theory alone cannot accommodate to.

With practise I can with ‘psycho-ontic viscerally’ make sense of the labour which can behind something as striking and ‘pop’ as Jim Lee or something as simple seeming in design like Tom Gauld.

I understand all that. :) To be honest I don't find any race or ethnicity "ugly" but there are some who I think are really attractive and beautiful and I feel that it should be a compliment to point out the beautiful things of any race or ethnicity.

For me my preference in men are Italians, Slavics, Hispanics, and Arabs. Those men are very handsome and masculine to me and I admire the fact that they don't seem like pushovers despite the hardships that they have went through and the things they put up with. I see kind of a "badboy" quality in them aswell because I think countries like the US where I live often make them out to be villains on TV yet I don't have any ill feelings towards them that all.

For women I think that the most beautiful to me are Asian women (especially from countries like Japan, China, and Korea), Irish women with long red hair, and older black women (especially ones from states like Georgia where I live. They have a motherly warmth and kindness about them. :D ).

My imaginary world is pretty dark but not this dark.
I wrote '24 guests' instead of '24 eggs' so they'd have 24 dead people in their fridge... 8O

Let's hope that people don't react to the above like they reacted to the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast in 1938.

Not all things at a high price is worth it to purchase, yes some items are worth their value,but that does not mean you should go out and by the highest priced pieces of merchandise regardless of what they are.
