Beauty

Is there anyone else out there to whose eyes Hollywood movie stars (male ones, anyway), and those of the rest of the Western world, too, don't on average look any better than regular people?

Hmm, how do you say "Western movie stars" in the sense of "movie stars from the Western countries" without being understood as "movie stars that star in westerns"?

Anyway, they don't look special to me. Sometimes you see a beautiful one, but not even as often as in real life.

Asian movie stars, on the other hand, look spectacularly better than average Asian men. In some Chinese or Japanese movies there can be 5-6 attractive men at a time, which I've never seen in any European or American movie.

Well, there's not much to it - it just means that my taste in men is closer to Asian that to European or American taste, but the funny thing is how I tend to forget that average Asian men don't look like Asian movie stars, and then get disappointed when I see a lot of them and only a few percents are really good-looking.

Of all the countries I've seen Finland has the most good-looking men, but for some reason they never put any of them in the movies.
