    I was playing with the character creator on a soon to be released game and

    I said to myself, wow that's a girl. It wasn't even remotely male. It was crazy.

     

    There have been studies done that say men with more feminine features are found to be more attractive in general. I think western media overembellishes manly features.

    I can say the same about white or black people, how come white people try to be black with the baggy jeans down at the ass crack like black people. You're not "gangster", you're just white. wigger. roffles.
    See what I did there? Cultural differences. You play a korean game, you should expect Korean cultural and media influence. cumb dunt. w

     

    you best watch yer mouth round these parts, chinaman. besides they are just as annoying as weeaboos, and there are far more gay weeaboos on the internet.

    Did ya ever take a look at the concept art for FF games pre 7? If the graphics technology was available they all would have had rather effeminate looks to them for most male characters.

    Look at traditional asian art and culture? Much of it is rather effeminate to western audiences though they'd probably consider it something else.

    Because Westernes have zero sense of style? Only in the West men think bulky and brutish is good looking, lol.

    That wasn't exactly the outcome of those studies.

    Basically, the studies determined that men mostly prefer very femenine females and women mostly prefer something in the middle of the masculine range.

    NO such thing as someone "looking" gay, unless you stereotype individuals. Most Asian MMO characters are "androgynous", not "gay-looking". Just thought I'd state that.

    If the human brain is good at anything ,it is generating stereotypes as it is a great survival mechanism.

    Of course it is! How else would a man pick up his 300 pound wife? He has to be some 400 pound brute.

    It's not only Korean, Japanese too. They makes male with feminine qualities. Such male with feminine quality is welcome and quite acceptable by women. Take a look at fashion industries, top fashion designers ......they all have feminine qualities.

    I think this type of gay looking is not welcome by gamers except your a female or gay. If the game makes the male too pretty than a woman and too young, it is terrible if your going to play this toon everyday. 

    Do you like a pretty male character or handsom male character or a real man character?

    Cripes... if Westerners have issues with the Asian artistic style, what the hell do Easterners think of us and WoW? I wonder if from the outside looking in, we Westerners all look like cavepeople with giant feet that were drawn by a 4 year old.

    Ehh... I guess thats kinda true... but then again, if style = looking like a girl then I'd personally would choose to be unstylish. Because having female traits doesn't at all seem appealing. 

     

    Luckally I tend to pick female characters in my MMO's so since the female toons look half naked most the time. It works for me.

    Actually, only some of the gay community are that effeminate...

     

     

    The word you're looking for is effeminate or androgynous, which is the case throughout Asia, not really Korea -- either way, it worked for an Asian friend of mine =D He got more ass than a toilet seat =P

    On the note of character models, Aion look quite good, a very good mix of east and west =D.  You can choose from both, really ~

     

    Also, Wanda Sykes / Hillary Duff would prefer you not call things gay :(

    I know the trueth in that. My Japanese friend gets tail like nothing. But at the same time Asian women tend to have sex cravings like no other. When in Japan myself, it wasn't the least bit diffcult to get someone to sleep with you. (even getting 2 or 3 people is possible the same night)

    "Also, Wanda Sykes / Hillary Duff would prefer you not call things gay :("

     

    First off fuck Wanda Sykes & Hillary Duff, they are both cunts.

    I totally agree with the OP, when trying out Asian MMO's it seams that the majority of male characters always seem to have a "metrosexual" look to them.

    Why can't we get some good old fashion duke nukems in our MMO's? Lol.

    Anyway, lets get some pics for proof. ::::

     I bet a good looking Western dude would get a ton of women in the east.   Why would a majority of the opposite sex be attracted to someone who looks like they do?  Brad Pitt,  Wolverine dude, Cloney ect don't look like a female at all too me.  I have never been attracted to women who look manly.  If they have small breats or a man face, no thanks.

    I had a 23 year old Japanese Girlfriend when I was 16 in high school while living in Northern Japan.  It was great! She bought me clothes and skateboards, took my virginity, and all she wanted in return was for me to bring her onto the military base so she could eat some BURGER KING. no joke - lmfao

    all the American chics at my high school despised me for that but I didn't really care. =P

    I had a bunch of buddies (black guys and white dudes), these guys would clean house, and always take chics home from nightclubs in ruppungi red light district in Tokyo, and all the stripclubs/nightclubs in Honolulu, HI as well.

    Sometimes I was jealous cuz they were hogging all the Asian honnies! lol
