This makes sense. The weird part is that Japan's idea of attractive lips are so small.

I mean small lips has been a beauty standard for many cultures throughout history. Personally I think you want a middle ground- something noticeable without being duck-lips.

What threw me for a loop is supposedly back in the old days, the Japanese found black teeth attractive. Women would use coal-dust to blacken their teeth.

I don't get the appeal of small lips. I honestly think these right here are about as perfect as you can get.

big mouths and big lips are seen as less pretty and less feminine in some cultures, that's why.

I think it's due to differing perceptions on femininity. Us in the post sexual revolution era look at physical traits of a woman for how we can sex them- so big lips are positives for kissing and oral sex.

Back in the day though, you weren't attracted to a woman for her sex appeal, but for how weak and controllable she'd be. Our ancestors didn't really concieve of blowjob potential, or French kisses, or if they did, they were the domain of prostitutes, not of the women you'd want to court.

So they probably associated small lips with a woman being small and weak. Another part of it was that with women dying in childbirth, people tended to marry younger- like 13/14, so it might also have to do with the woman appearing younger- like really young.

>High schoolers are always hesitant to get into fights especially with bullying
I never got this. In my school there were usually at least 3-4 fist fights every week to the point where the staff decided to let the students take care of their own problems between them

>kissing prostitutes
lol. Small "young" features = good genetic health, it's really fucking simple.

Japans social values are kind of fucked frankly speaking.

It is a grave national sin to be rude. Except they define rude as making any kind of fuss. So if someone bullies you, and you tell the teacher, YOU'RE the one that's being rude, irrespective of what the bullies are doing.

To put it one way- it's a culture of doormats that will make you a pariah if you refuse to be a doormat like everyone else.

Teachers tend to refuse to do anything about the bullies for pretty much the same reason. They'd be out of place for putting a bully in line.

So you're ideal mate is a woman with the birthing hips of a 12 year old?

yes, and preferable with a feminine dick

why yes. bonus points If shes also 12 yo

Hips to waist ratio? if the waist is larger than the hips no, because that's a sign of poor cardiovascular function, aka FAT.

What's with the nosebleeds? Visit a doctor!

This is quite the overanalysis to explain what merely is “fashion is arbitrary and cyclic and moves in mysterious ways.”

Yeah, you're not wrong.

Why do tsundare's slap main character kun's when they unintentionally see them naked. It's not the main characters fault their too stupid to lock the doors.

>So if someone bullies you, and you tell the teacher, YOU'RE the one that's being rude
You're supposed to get your boys and solve it yourself instead of running to your teacher like a pussy. Haven't you seen literally any asian media about schools? Literally any, the bullied are the ones who don't do anything, the chads are the ones who get a gang together and fight back

why is their hair large, spiky and why are their eyes always so big?

Real girls do that too

the way anime girls stand

Why the fuck the mc doesn't cunt punt the tsundere when she hits him for no reason

I kid you not. Ancient Chinese thought the most attractive parts of a woman are her feet. They were the original footfags.

So if a girl is too dumb to lock the door or not answer when someone knocks and someone walks in, they slap the person who walked in. Sound like stupid logic.

Ah yes, footbinding, the most patrician and humane of all practices.

like this. why do they all have knocked knees?

Don't know about the hair- could just be that's how the youth express themselves (there are only so many ways for a Japanese teen to stand out, wacky hair is one of them). The big eyes thing comes from two places- one that early mangaka were copying western comic books, and from their perspective, white people have giant anime eyes, and two, big eyes make characters easier to emote- Disney did this with their characters- and it's one of the problems they had with animating the Disney Princes- since they weren't cute girls, or comedic characters, they had smaller eyes, and so it was harder to animate emotion on them.
Original tsunderes were more 'two people are kinda fated to be together- not cause of fate, but they're the only two kids in a small town, so there aren't a lot of options, and everyone just expects it'. So the MC was more of a loser that the girl was trying to get to shape up because she was thinking she'd be her husband one day.

Then it just became a trope of it's own, and that trope got flanderized and flanderized for the sake of physical comedy.

I always assumed it was sort of an allegory of a boner. That way they avoided parental guidance marking their shows/manga as 14+ only or something.

I think it's an old Japanese wives tale that you get a nosebleed while aroused.

That and you sneeze when someone is talking about you behind your back.

Knock-kneed and pigeon-toed
