Guest deportedkorean Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 one pound of fat=one pound of muscle... ...BUT the volumes are different... ...you shouldnt really say muscle weighs more than fat...its more like muscle is DENSER than fat. anyways, asian people in general have less muscle mass than other ethnicities, not to mention that they have slightly less dense bones (and they're a bit thinner).

Guest PrincessBoa Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 -shrugs- Different lifestyle routines, healthy eating...etc, could be tons of reasons. Not just because we're ASIANS in general, although my other non-asian friends have always pointed out to me that I'm really skinny, and most Asian girls are like that... I think its just how we manage/ control or do with our food/ lifestyles. (I'm 5'9, 105 pounds, but I'm pretty active alot of the time, but I eat alot too.. to maintain alot of my energy) Yeah, alot of other people think Asian people are most likely skinny (in weight) and stuff, but sometimes.. I think its just..there ARE different weighed asians, and I have seen some larger Asians. Lols. So yeah. o_o -PrincessBoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mizerable;Di Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 there is obviously only one answer to that. The celebs are anorexic. What's more? The girls in korea are all pretty only after plastic surgery. After all, they are known for their excellency in that medical field. They have no true beauty. Typical Korean girls? *throws up* Why do you want to be abnormally skinny like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elee Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i believe its because they drink tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOST grls are naturally prty. And some grls in Korea are also naturally skinny due to their genes and high metabolism. Can't blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Korean girls? *throws up* Why do you want to be abnormally skinny like them? That's nonsense Obviously you don't know anything about korea so you are mostly assuming from what you see in the media. Not ALL korean people + korean celebrities have plastic surgery. If you say korean girls have no true beauty well then this must be the same for all american, taiwanese, japanese + more people cause they are higher ranked in the number of plastic surgeries than korea. Please, not all koreans are skinny O.O Yeah most are slim so what? It's prob good genes or they WORK for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jiyuhnn Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 the pressure i guess... and mostly cause of the entertainment i mean do you see the girls?? wonder girls.. theyre like all STICKS. and the new super girls or w.e. their name is 소녀시대.. ?? well anyways and also unless theyre like MAD rich or they have to go somewhere far away.. they WALK. WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK. and their gym class is actually HARD. i mean all of us in U.S. think gym is annoying but think about what koreans have to do.. haha ive seen the fields/tracks and they are HUGEEEE !!!!

Guest oreoo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I agree with everything you just said, except for that part about girls being skinny because it "runs in their blood" Okay. well my bad.. not exactly run in their blood. But I meant in a way.. like it's all mostly genetics like. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest predator Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I think that it's because of bone mass and their metabolism. When I see someone that ways 80 pounds at 5'0, I feel big. Because I'm 5'1 and I weigh 98 pounds. But then again, I feel healthy =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flyxme. Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 ummm genetics? lol They have no true beauty. Typical Korean girls? *throws up* that's sooo not true...how do YOU know, huh? ....but my korean friend says the REAL highschoolers(girls) in korea aren't really "pleasing looking" she says don't look like the celebs we see nor do they look like uljjangs, uljjangs&celebs are just the pretty people that are "picked out"... but there are still those natural beauties out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neon_buildings Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 ^ where did your friend live? i went all over Kyongsang do and there were lots of cute/pretty girls...but there were also some not so good looking ones... eh, i guess it also has to do with an individuals perception of beauty. there is obviously only one answer to that. The celebs are anorexic. What's more? The girls in korea are all pretty only after plastic surgery. After all, they are known for their excellency in that medical field. They have no true beauty. Typical Korean girls? *throws up* Why do you want to be abnormally skinny like them? aye, that's not true. my cousins in korea are very pretty and so are their friends, and i know FOR A FACT, that they did not get plastic surgery. there are many natural beauties in korea, i dont know where you're getting all these assumptions from. i'm 5'1" and 87lb (been losing weight for some reason), and the only reason i'm skinny is because of my parents. both of them were exactly like me when they were my age... and i eat korean food most of the time, which keeps me thin, but healthy...

Guest eunhae Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 ummm genetics? lol that's sooo not true...how do YOU know, huh? ....but my korean friend says the REAL highschoolers(girls) in korea aren't really "pleasing looking" she says don't look like the celebs we see nor do they look like uljjangs, uljjangs&celebs are just the pretty people that are "picked out"... but there are still those natural beauties out there yeah. when i went to korea, almost all of the high school girls looked the same same hairstyle, all uniform(of course) & they all had similar fashions there were only a couple of natural beauties that's why it's weird because, in America, it seems like all the korean girls are so pretty but when i go to korea, im sort of in shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LazyAzian Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Er not only Koreans. Also, you probably mean "A large Majority of Asians". PLUS guys are more skinnier than girls naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
