Chinese Genetics

This is a follow up to the question on regional differences as well as my article on Asian eyes.

I found an article on Chinese genetics and what makes them unique. Its kind of tl;dr, but its divided into topics like "Yellow skin" and "Northern vs Southern". Read it here.

Regional preferences?

I've seemed to notice a trend across the web (or at least the Chinese web). Many forums and editorials say that women from Sichuan are the most beautiful in China. Does this myth hold any water? Do the women in China seem to get prettier/uglier by region?

I'm answering this while fizzing off a case of beer given to me as a gift.... I have delayed this post because I had a link about Chinese facial charactoristics, it had 10-20 photos of men and women from each province in China and you could really tell the differences between them. However in failing to find this link I cannot offer it to you. Shame because it was a bloody good website.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore this subject is incredibly subjective in fact it is totally subjective. Thus one persons opinion could be totally different to anothers. Which means that anything I say here is merely from my own biased perspective (Since TCG likes women period! Though Harbin girls with their better skin (its paler as they are far up in the north east) taller and curvier due to the low temperatures). Thus geography makes a difference!


Zihyang zhi for instance many westerners would bang her like a barn door in a gale.


TCG would bang her because TCG always tends to be on the opposite side of the planet to the women I date and as such I'm generally starved much of the time. However in China she is considered to be quite ugly, its about the cheek bones and face I think. My dad who is typically Chinese wouldn't touch her if she offered herself on a plate.... though if you did put a pile of money in front of it he would make sweet love to it.

However subjectivity does reveal some interesting things.

For instance I still sometimes when I get drunk off my ass and end up alone think about a girl I met years ago who left me a dear John letter once. She was from north of Beijing. TCG currently obsesses about his Taiwanese woman. Who has a completely different attitude to many Chinese women. Or when I talk to Chinese guys in HK they have their own opinions too. Jason for instance (though Jase was born in New Jersey) currently has an obsession with women from the Chongqing area. Apparently the crater like area of mountains makes them how shall we say rugged.

Anyway this theory does hold some water as different geographical locations and diet do play a part in how people look. People in hot as hell temperate zones to control body heat say like in HK tend to be skinnier (I swear I've only seen 4 fat girls in HK!). Rice vs Wheat vs Potatoes etc. I've had debates with people about ABCs as the much better diet and better attitude makes them incredibly attractive (as America is land of opportunity while Asia is land of the automaton).



But it is dependent upon who is doing the looking! I discussed this at length with some of the men I know in HK who travel far and wide. Northern women are taller are stronger and have triangular pointy faces. Due to more mongol blood introduced about 700 years ago. Same thing near the Korean border as there has been Russian/Turkic blood mixed in with Koreans. While Patrick always tells me Hubei girls have massive tits. Etc. While the southerners seem to have square faces. This really annoys me now because I used to have a link which showed the faces of people from different regions of China and you really could tell the difference. I'd be very hard pressed

I would also note that such things about where you come from determining beauty is becoming irrelevant. 50 years ago people would barely ever leave their home villages, sometimes going to the capital of their province today people move about and mix all around therefore making the traditional people from XYZ location are most beautiful.



HOWEVER there is one great exception to this!

Taiwan. In that 60 years ago Chen Kai Shek got his ass kicked and the KMT ran away to Taiwan, taking their mistresses and other good looking types with them, which may explain the high incidence of good looking Taiwainese girls. Though as said I am completely biased because this is how I see the world. And tbh I think it is her attitude I like most rather than her looks that is not to say she isn't hot but roll it into one package.

Anyway you decide yourself

Mish mash

Chinese ages

Erm sorry I lost your email during a phone Internet wifi session. It asked something along the lines of:

Why do Chinese people age slower than westerners? In that my Chinese co-worker is 30 but he looks like he is 20 or younger. The women also look much younger and thinner too why is this? How come it is so difficult to tell the ages of Asian people?

(Paraphrased)

By AB (I think)



Dear Ab

The reason as to why Chinese and Asian people age slower than Westerners is that they don't age slower than westerners. It just seems that way.

However some comical reasons as to why this maybe:

It is a commie conspiracy, the great leap forward famine was done on purpose. To keep people thin. This lead to Europeans and Americans generally being overweight. This was exacerbated by the Communist party of China inventing incredibly fattening dishes which do not exist inside China. Things such as General Tsao's Chicken, Sweet and Sour dishes or even the notorious Kung Pao Chicken. Fortune cookies and anything you may find in a Chinese restaurant. Chinese people from China will think WTF is this stuff when they visit a Chinese restaurant in the westernised countries. Which why many Chinese from China avoid it because they are part of the conspiracy too.

Chinese WMD

10000s of 'agents' were sent out from China in since the 1950s all over the world who have formed enclaves in big ones like New York, San Francisco and London. Smaller such enclaves also exist in Manchester and Paris. Today nearly every town has a CCP sanctioned hot food place which is designed specifically for this purpose.

Why?

The communist party in the 1960s and 1970s you see in the past only had AK47s. Which you'd be lucky to hit the side of a barn with. (TCG has actually fired one and emptied the clip in seconds wasting £20 in one go back when it was legal to shoot in the UK. Yes it was pretty reckless as I fired an AK when I was EIGHT). This meant that if China was ever invaded, the Chinese conscripts would have large targets to shoot at. Though even in 2010 they seem to be a bit dodgy.

While being thinner and smaller the Chinese infantry would be harder to hit. Mao however did not take this sort of advice though and the CCP did not foresee guided missiles and the invention of the segeway and infantry riding them into battle. And infantry fighting vehicles.

Try it visit China and ask for your favourite Chinese take away dish and watch the waiter gurn at you and pretend he's never heard of it. As such WMD are strictly controlled.


In seriousness though you are partly wrong Chinese men and women do get fat and old, it is just that many of them have the good sense to STAY OUT of the media unlike these British laddettes.



My aunt who lives in Fanling for example is about a metre wide and has no hair, though to be fair she did have a brain tumor and had to have open skull surgery 30 years ago.

Genetics play a part also there was a study ages ago where mice starved would live longer than well fed mice something similar to this is here. As I have mentioned in the past a few times China and the whole area is a place of starvation. Wars which caused people to be unable to work the land. Drought and dust bowl conditions occured in China. Which meant people all starved unintentionally and therefore selected their genes for longevity. My dad for instance will regularly complain, "Oh when I was a boy we were always hungry."

Additionally the culture is different families sit and eat dinner together and therefore home cook stuff rather than processed rubbish. Even in busy ass cities such as HK many people still cook at home. Mainland China based fast food is also different too. In Beijing people will have some melon on stick. Or their own version of fast food is different to Mc'ds. This restaurant I keep seeing them in Beijing. They serve the stuff Chinese families will eat at home, like steamed pak choi, steamed eggs rice, congee soup etc. While Chinese families will also forcibly medicate each other with soup and foul tasting tea even if there is nothing wrong with you. In westernised nations we only medicate when we are ill.

Finally Chinese people stay out of the sun, umbrellas appear when the sun comes out as they don't want sun tans. Sun tanning is exceptionally bad for your skin! It artificially ages it if you tan a lot by the time you are 40 you'll look 80!.

Oh and Chinese women don't smoke as much, all of the above, except maybe the commie conspiracy are reasons as to why.

We don't for example live forever and run around cutting each others heads off to absorb each other's quickening.

Though it is easy to mistake ME for an immortal though, I crash my bike at high speed and get up not a scratch on me. My mate does the same at 20mph and ends up in intensive care for months! Or the way strange way I've been mid 20s for the past 300 years... Ho hum...
