Have to agree with you on those features, epecially the voice. Add to that the slender wrists and tapered elegant fingers. So, here's a question for you: have you thought about the threshold of attraction? As in, if you like Asian girls, is there a line that must be crossed for them to be Asian enough? If you find one of those Japanese imports with very wide eyes and dyed-brown hair, is she Asian enough? For Asian American women, if they act like your buddy (as do many women from the Generation-Y's "I never take the least bit of s**t from any guy, swear like a hooker, drink like a fish" group), does that reduce her exoticness? If she looks very , say, Korean with that distinctively beautiful facial bone structure but makes every behavior modification to distance herself from that ethnic group - is that a turn off?

When is an Asian woman inadequately Asian? Also, do you have a similar reaction to Asian-Indian women? (BTW, A.I. women are possibly the most talented conversationalists on the planet.)

South Asian women are great. I lived in Cambridge UK and for a year I was surrounded by brilliant, gorgeous Indian students - the accent was nice too. As far as what's "Asian enough", it's not really even the "Asian" part that matters. I like the Christina Ricci's of the world, with the dark hair and pretty face. And I don't know how much I'd actually want to be with someone actually from overseas. It could be fantastic, and there could be misunderstandings and a cultural divide. So far when I've dated Asian girls they were raised here. They had some of their parents' culture but were also thoroughly American like me.
