#41 Eye Enlargement

Fact: Asian women think that their eyes are ugly. They will go to many lengths to change the appearance of their eyes, from high-maintenance temporary alterations to more expensive and permanent options. So much so, that every Asian person has at least one sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, or friend who has tried to change their eyes.

The most common things Asian women change are their “lids.” Asian eyelids usually have a single fold (otherwise known as a monolid), whereas Caucasian eyelids have “double folds.” It is this “double fold” that Asian women spend most their lives coveting.

Young girls often start off with cheap and easily accessible apparatuses for achieving double-fold eyelids: tape or glue. Using these tools, asians, with the help of some adhesive and plastic tools, make possible this “pleat” in their own skin. During their teenage years, Asian girls learn about this from an older sister or cousin. They will also develop the asian stare at this age, which will allow them to strike fear into the hearts of people everywhere. The Asian Stare heavily contributes to the enlarging of an asian’s eyes because it requires asians to expose as much of their irises as possible. It will also prepare them for motherhood, where the asian stare will keep their children from going out with friends *gasp*. With repeated use, the Asian Stare will cause a noticeable increase in iris radius, bringing asians one step closer to having eyes as wide as wet noodles.

These days, there is a relative newcomer in the world of Asian eye fake-outs: the circle lense. Circle lenses were made popular in Korea before the trend spread to other Asian countries and is slowly making its way to the United States. “Circle Lenses” are like colored contact lenses, except the colored portion is larger than a person’s actual iris. The reasoning is that making their irises appear larger makes asian eyes look bigger. The effect is more dramatic than folding their eyelids, and can sometimes be rather cartoon-like (look at all the anime characters). Asians may even freak people out by getting designs on their lenses, much like Michael Jackson did to the world when he turned white.

Does eye enlargement sound ridiculously strange to you, or are you a woman who finds this so appealing that you have to try it right now? Check out the Youtube video below. As asian women approach their 20’s or their high school/college graduations, they opt for plastic surgery so that they don’t have to use glue or tape everyday. Eyelid surgery is probably the most common plastic surgery for Asian women for this reason.

So why do asian women spend so much time and money trying to change their eyes? Somewhere along the way, they were given the message that Caucasian is what’s normal, and that it is preferable to have more White features. Flip through an Asian beauty or fashion magazine and if you look closely, the majority of models have done something to their eyes or noses to make them look more White. This is true whether the magazine is for Asian Americans or for old timers. Compact that with the globalization of Japanese cartoon characters, who all have eyes the size of tennis balls (sometimes even larger). School girls live their lives dreaming that they can become the next Sakura (cardcaptors) or Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon).

White beauty standards put pressure on Asian women even when they’re in their home countries (which is sad and doesn’t make much sense). For you Asian-American women who read beauty mags and never understand the part where they say “apply eyeshadow to the crease” – I suggest you check out the book Asian Faces where you can learn makeup techniques that show, not hide, your differences. Until then, there is no denying that Asians love to make their eyes look bigger.

this is an insightfulpost. i did not know about these circle contact lenses. looks pretty creepy to me (like they’re high on drugs).
straight noses and large eyes are prized by every culture. name one culture who thinks small eyes are attractive! even B.C art depicts asian women with straight noses and double folds (although actual eye size was kind of small).
asian american girls dye their hair blonde and wear blue contact to look white. if they get eye surgery it is because of pressure from other asians or being teased for having “chinky” eyes by other kids. i guess the latter reason would go in line with conforming to white beauty.
i do agree that anime and whatnot does have an effect. a lot of asian women are obsessed with looking girlish and cute and young. large eyes are another sign of youth (aging eyes’ sagging eyelids make the actual eye look smaller).
anyways women will be vain. no matter what race or ethnicity. they will go to crazy extremes to look “beautiful.”

@midwestasian, honestly im not asian but its depresses me to see how easy it is for yo to forget your culture.. Im latin from Spain and there are people who would want my features but i think thats BS . IN my opinion i love asian women because of thier eyes. kat eyes are the sexiest by far and asian eyes can look like dat. im getting turned on right now thinking of asian females. and i know i read somewhere that traditional japanese culture adores women with small slanty eyes and pale skin. just dont let this white culture surpass your own thats all. I know there are ways to highlight and beautify your asian feautures. Its better to highlight dem than hide because it looks stupid and fake when you hide it . I know i sound nice but im a very harsh critic

oh my! So that’s what it is, the circle lense thingos! I saw those on a girl last week, was wondering why her eyes looked so weird & her irises way too black & too contrasting against the white bit. It was scary to look at.
Geez, the things girls do…

I would have to agree that it doesn’t matter what culture it is, white beauty standards are the ideal.
It’s mainly because of the media. It’s racially dominated and sets the tone for style and beauty. It’s sad. Especailly for those who are particulary attracted to the various ethnicities.

I hate it when I see Asian women with ‘blonde’ hair (looks more like orange). I also hate it when the first thing out of my mom’s mouth, upon seeing someone for the first time, is, “She’s not good-looking.” She says this about women, young girl, and even baby girls. (Not that it’d be better if she said they were attractive, but of course she never says anything about men/boys.)

God, I just spent like fifteen minutes looking at Facebook with my roommate at the various Korean princesses at our school who’ve gotten eye enlargement surgeries. It was really depressing, these girls are gorgeous! They’ve been made to believe that the only concept of beauty that can exist is the western ideal. Also, I wonder how they paid for their surgeries…I can’t imagine a parent actually paying for this >:(

Oriental girls are the prettiest in the world. Their eyes are beautiful. There is no reason to change them to make them look white; when they try to “white up” their eyes it only makes them look odd.

Traditional Chinese culture states that a beautiful woman should have big eyes, a straight nose, and a small mouth. This was way before they came in contact with any Europeans.
But it is kind of sad that plastic surgery is becoming the “norm” for East Asian girls these days. Pretty much all of my Korean friends have gotten plastic surgery on their nose, eyes, cheeks, etc. not only because they wanted to, but because their parents ENCOURAGED it. I have ONE Korean friend who has not had any plastic surgery, but her parents are constantly trying to push her to get some. They tell her, “You want to fit in, right? Get some plastic surgery, we’ll pay for it!” But she doesn’t want it.
As for myself, I am really interested in getting eye enlargement surgery, because not only do I also think larger eyes are prettier, but it really does help in other areas. Makeup, for one, has always been a challenge to me. I want an eyelid that I can put eyeshadow on! I know it sounds stupid, but it’s really important to me.
It also helps when making connections with people. Larger eyes make you appear more alert, more awake, and more “innocent” (as anime and manga have taught us). All of the anti-Japanese propaganda during World War II was focused on how slanty Japanese eyes were, trying to emphasize that their small eyes translated into a shifty personality that you can’t trust. That ideal still holds today, in that smaller eyes seem to denote a dishonest person. Obviously, I don’t think anyone wants to give off that impression from the get-go.

You have completely misunderstood why some Asians have eye surgery to go from monolid to double fold. Around 30% of NE Asians and 70+% of SE Asians naturally have double fold lids. I’m one of them. This is what they hope the surgery will emulate. There are also many Caucasian women who use make-up to make their eyes appear larger.

ASIANS AREN’T TRYING TO BE WHITE BY HAVING BIGGER EYES!!!!!!
In every culture, bigger eyes are associated with beauty. Bigger eyes show more emotion, and even puppies with big emotive eyes are considered cuter. The asian monolid is also often droopy and will cover up eye lashes (make lashes go down instead of curving up). Also, even with already big eyes, white women spends much money and effort with eye-liners and mascara to enhance their eye size, shape, and lashes. I realize Asians may emulate many western ideals, but this is not actually one of those cases.

This is stupid! Why Asian have to try to be white by having bigger eyes?
Not every asain has small eyes. Most of the Asian I see have big eyes. If they do want bigger eyes, it is just because they want to look pretty. that’s all. Who don’t want to look pretty? I see a lot of White girl like to be tan, too. does that mean they want to be like Asian (Filipino, Hispanic.etc…) ?

Thanks for all of the c omments.
Javed – I agree that there should be more than just East Asians represented on the blog, but we would need an East Asian writer to do that!
Everyone else – don’t forget that all of these “Stuff Ethnic People Like Blogs” are meant to be sarcastic and funny. Stories are 10% “individual perseonal experiences” and 90% “blown-out-of-proportion-sarcasm to highlight how absurd some our behaviors are, and how absurd it is to be defined by those behaviors”. They are not true scientific fact, so don’t read them as if they are. (If all of this were claiming to be 100% true, we would be perpetuating racism and xenophobia and that’s not cool)

The grass is always greener on the other side. And it seems like a norm for people from every culture to do things to ENHANCE their features. However, if you change what you have, you change who you are and then……WHOSE eyes are you trying to enhance now, yours or some random girl whose picture you pointed out to the plastic surgeon and said “I want this one”?? I feel like people have gone overboard with surgeries (all races alike), they should go see a shrink before getting under the knife.

I’m just confused as to why people think that Asian girls wanting big eyes is because they want to look white? Not all white women have large eyes, and not all Asian women have small eyes. I’m an Asian woman and I have naturally large eyes. Many Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Indonesian women have large eyes (in fact, that Japanese woman, your first picture in this blog, is a Japanese singer, Ayumi Hamasaki, and her large eyes are natural, that picture is just terribly airbrushed and outwarding eyelashes and makeup rimmed around the eyes make the eyes appear larger). I don’t know why it just doesn’t occur to people that we just like large eyes and double eyelids, just because we do. And honestly, 50% of Asians have double eyelids. We don’t want double eyelids and large eyes to look white, we like it because ideally that’s what I would prefer over small eyes and monolids.
But I think many people with monolids are hot, and many people with small, slanty eyes are hot.

Its so true about the pressure! I have a monolid, and people have been telling me since I was two years old “dont worry about your eyes, you can get those fixed when you’re older!” -__-”
But I agree with the comments: its not just Asians trying to be Caucasian…its like people wanting to be thin. Everywhere you look, theres people giving tips on how to be thin, how to get clearer skin, or how to make your eyes appear bigger!

I can’t believe Asian women actually go through this trouble and hassle to look more caucasian or whatever, honestly, I not only find it immature I find people that do this like if they aren’t pride to be who they are. Asian women, you already have very beautiful, unique and special eyes, you don’t need them to look like us ( Yes I’m caucasian, Portuguese actually), everyone’s beautiful in their own special way, and if we were all a copy, then how would you define beauty? Not to mention that it looks dangerous, using glue near your eye lids?? come on, I can’t believe someone would post a video of this on the net for a 5 year old asian girl to see and try this at home. Honestly, have some shame.

hmm… As an Asian myself, I think it’s strange that the wider-eyed look seems to be the standard for beauty as much as long legs, straight/point nose and defined cheekbones have always been the standard of Western/American beauty. I have been blessed (?) with a natural crease/fold in my eye so I’ve always found it funny and a little sad when some of my Asian friends go through the hassle of putting those paper things to create a fold in their eyelid or undergo the surgery to make their eyes wider.
A lot of it is the pressure of the media that creates that standard… if you look in any Asian magazine with Asian stars, most if not all of them (including the guys) will have large eyes. I find it equivalent to starving yourself to be as skinny as the models on the runway… it’s a really silly and totally unnecessary

I don’t think that having a double fold in your eyes is being white. Why do people always have to label everything. I dont think asians are trying to be white maybe some of them just like to have that look. I feel that if that person likes that look then go for it and do you regardless of what anyone one says, dont let people get to you as long as your happy thats all that matters its your body do as you please. I think your video was very educational and interesting im half african american and philipino, not asian and i watched the video anyway because i thought it was interesting you actually gave me some tips even though my eyes already have that fold but i like the way you did your make up and you seem very sweet =) take care

I have slanted eyes but I was also born with double eyelids. My entire family is the same. I love how my eyes are slanted; the only thing I’d wish for is to have the left iris glow red like the Terminator (xD) which should give you an idea of why we asians like to modify ourselves, maybe because such artificial enhancements just look cool? (see: paragraph 3)
I’m honestly sick and tired of and disgruntled asians on the internet that make an issue out of everything. There are many asians out there that naturally don’t have the “monolid”. Irresponsible articles like this will only lead to “westerners” making assumptions about every asian individual that doesn’t fit their stereotyped view of asians.
Also, people need to stop thinking that cosmetic enhancements on asians are in any shape or form wanting to be “white”. I used to have yellow highlights. Tell me how many white people do you see with black hair and blonde streaks? Exactly. When white people dye their hair blood red or blue, which race are they trying to look like? Sisqo has silver hair; does that mean he subconsciously wants to be an old guy?
As for the asians that have pursued or are pursuing surgery, who cares? It’s their personal choice, just like it was Ashlee Simpson’s personal choice to get a nose job. Besides, most asians aren’t going for the “caucasian” eyes, because even after getting double eyelids their eyes are still going to look asian. It’s not so much trying to look white, but trying to look like other asians. Because if I had the “monolid” I know I’d get surgery, but only to look like my family or “me”.
Now I’m not denying that there’s a lot of self-hatred among certain asian individuals, because there is, and to a pathetic degree, but it’s just as pathetic to see asians that lack the foresight not to draw unnecessary negative attention towards their entire race. After reading some of the other articles on this site I must say the “satirical” nature of this site is just irresponsible. Making fun of yourself? This is an open forum and the outsiders aren’t laughing with you, they’re laughing at you.
And just so you know, I’m Vietnamese. I have barely any austranesian admixture if any. I’m not part white either. I’m pure Kinh and 100% ORIENTAL. Oh, and I also have long legs and that is mostly due to eating right and less on genetics in case you decide to make an article about ‘asian height’ too.

Interesting comments. I’m Chinese. My mother has double lids and my father doesn’t. My mother thinks my eyes should look more like hers. I had monolids when I was a kid, and her “influence” led me to exercise my eyelids, so now I have double lids. No joke. My hair is fine and dark brown. My legs are long compared to my torso. Again, not typical Chinese. I tan very easily and most people mistake me for being Filipino (I don’t mind; I just find it humorous that because I’m dark people assume I’m Filipino). My mother thinks Northern Chinese are better looking because they tend to be tall, and have higher nose bridges and straighter noses. Nothing to do with being white. It’s what you choose to view as your ideal.

Anyways, I think white people are ugly, and funny thing is most asians only like to date asians, except those asians who are mixed or have had some type of war in their country.
Another really stupid thing is why is that one asian country or culture may love to have this eye surgery, koreans or japanese, and anybody white assumes that these two cultures equates ALL of ASIA? totally ignorant and uneducated.
That aside. there are tons of asians who have this so called crease, its NOT only WHites who have it, Gawd, hispancis, middle easterns, all races have them, including asian races such as vietnamese, philipinos, tahitians blah blah blah
to say that ony white people have a crease in their eye and the asian cultures who are striving for this look is trying to look white is unblievebly ingornat and Im embarassed for them. Thats like saying when white people get their eyes slanted in some canthopexy surgery, they’re trying to be asian or when they get cheekbone implants, they’re tying to look asian, isnt that stupid?
WHite peopel need to stop idealizing themselves, they get tons of crazy surgeries. Thats crazy. So if you really want to talk about un- natural.
white people go get their boobs done (not awhite trait, more hispanic trait) they get their eyes slanted (asian trait) higher cheekbones (asian trait) tanner skin (middle eastern, asian and hispanic trait) bigger lips, (hispanic and black trait) OMG whtie people want to be anyting but white!!
so there you have, does that sound stupid to you? it does doenst it? thats how stupid it sounds to me when eveyrone claims a hispanic girl, asian or black girl getting their hair blond or doing some surgery as trying to be mroe white, wow get real people!!

if someone really dosent like something eg nose then they can change it.
men and women are too obsessed with perfection.
Queen Victoria publicly declared makeup improper, vulgar, and acceptable only for use by actors(who were all men at the time).
Adolf Hitler told women that face painting was for clowns and not for the women of the Master Race. Even Hitler was correct somtimes, but ultimately he was still obsessed with creating perfection.
only nature can create perfection. Even this statement isnt perfectly correct.

Everyone wants what they don’t have, if only everyone would realize how beautiful they are to begin with! I’d never consider plastic surgery to fit in to whatever the standard of “beauty” is.
What kind of parent would go along with plastic surgery?! That is horrible! D:

it really depends on what part of asia you’re from. a majority of people in beijing, for example, have single eyelids. however, most people in southeast asia have double eyelids.
i’m chinese (mix of shanghai/northern china) and both sides of my family all have double eyelids. i think double is the dominant trait?
anyway, i do have eyes that are much larger than normal asians’ eyes, as well as well-defined, arching eyebrows.
the only shortcoming that i believe really can take away from many asians’ appearance is the flatness of our faces. not that i would ever do anything to change it.

Well… it’s not just Asians. Many people like to mimic traits from other cultures that appeal to them, whether because it’s unique and they don’t see much of that in their own culture or simply because they like it. It’s not *always* the media’s fault.
I have Caucasian friends who were born with luscious curls, yet they spend hours each morning straightening their hair.
I have Asian friends who bleach and dye their hair, the same ebony, straight hair that my Caucasian friends covet so much.
I have Eurasian friends who like to mimic those stereotypical African-American “gangsters”.
And, unfortunately, I don’t have African-American friends, so I can’t tell how good those Eurasians’ impressions are.
Everyone’s different and people have always tried to get what they haven’t had before.

Asian people do not want to be white.
But like most people, they are self-critical towards their physical features and feel like they need to be better. I agree that everyone should just accept themselves the way they are, but I don’t see why everyone is thinks the asian people using circle lenses or getting surgery to get a double lid is wrong.
Every single one of us has tried to change the way we look, simply just by using make-up you have attempted to alter your natural features.

I have to disagree with the blog. Some white-washed Asians might want to look white, but most Asians in Asia get plastic surgery to look like other good looking Asians. Asian double eyelid is totally different than white double eyelid. I think it is ridiculous for any Asian to even attempt to look white even if she wants to.
Asian Americans really need to stop looking at everything in term of white. Most Asians in Asia could careless about white people. They are not exposed to white faces 24×7 like we do in the USA. Perhaps some really white-washed self hating Asians in USA might do it to look white, but definitely not all Asians in Asia. For whatever reason, those people on talk shows like Oprah always manage to find those white-washed ones to reinforce this stereotype. Most Asians are not white-washed and most do it to improve their looks or look like 50% of Asians that do have double eyelid.

51 Crazy Eyes // Aug 7, 2008 at 12:19 am
I’m Asian and the only reason why I would ever do surgery is because I have crazy eyes. Lol. One of my eyes has the crease, and the other doesn’t. This has always annoyed me. Putting on makeup has always been hard for me not because of not having a crease, but because one has it and the other doesn’t. Therefore giving me two different obvious looks.
If my eyelids would just make up their mind on if they wanted a crease of not, I’d be happy. =D

I don’t understand why people equate large eyes with caucasian. Are people forgetting about the rest of the world? The majority of people in the world have double eyelids, so why don’t people say that asians want to look latinos or black because they have the double eye lids? what makes anybody think that white people are the only large-eyed people on earth? the media has a lot to do with people’s decision on beauty, but when it comes to having bigger eyes, it has little to do with white people. Large eyes are signs of beauty and youth. I don’t really have time to give any evolutionary reason, but for some reason, people just respond better and kinder to creatures (not just people) with larger eyes. just compare a baby with large and round eyes and a baby with really small eyes, you’ll know what I’m saying.
It’s hard to know what it feels like to have small eyes if you don’t have them. I personally have relatively small eyes and here is the list of things I observe from my daily interaction with people: 1. people don’t really to make eye contact with me or they tend to break the eye contact much faster than when they’re making eye contact with my husband who has much larger eyes. 2. I’m one of the most compassionate people I know, but for some reason, people that do not know me always think that I’m a little evil or I’m not trustworthy. My personality gives them no reason to think that. 3. I do have “tools” to make my eyes appear larger and I try to wear that “makeup” everyday before I leave my house. but there were several times I went out without doing anything and the reactions from people are very depressing. Ex. i was on a train once and the ticket guy was collecting tickets from everyone. He was extremely friendly and saying hello to everybody. but when he looked at me once, he looked at the floor and reached his hand out to take my ticket and then he turned his head away from me and left. Not a word from his mouth, maybe 1/2 sec of awkward eye contact. I can list hundreds of examples of people treating like this, I can’t say that it’s all because of my small eyes . But my experience and research suggest to me that most of the time it’s really because of my small eyes. Even though I’m friendly and kind to people, but when they first see my face, they’re subconsciously or unconsciously judging me and labeling me as someone bad, or unattractive, or ill-hearted… Why? because that’s what small eyes remind people of. So why it is so wrong to want to be treated like you’re good human being? why is it so wrong to want to be treated with kindness and trust and respect? Why is it so wrong to want to be liked and loved and be thought as beautiful, youthful, attractive, alert-looking…? Just try to imagine what small/undesirable eyes can do to someone’s self esteem.

here let me enlighten the lot of you
caucasian eyes are decently sized. not small. not too big. the horizontal to vertical ratio is in good proportion. this is the nordic ideal. this goes for most of course
other races besides whites like aborigines, indians/pakistanis, and some blacks tend to have big ole bug eyes, the vertical height of their eyes is so great that it makes them look circular. these are what are referred to as “banjo eyes”. they often have nice eyelashes though, but they’re useless on banjo eyes
asian eyes(and when i say asian i mean your classical east asian and not the southeast asian mongrels) are well, ill say about half are fucked up and half look decent. 3 out of 6 i see have noticeably fucked up eyes. i have to admit it is distracting and unsightly. its evolutionary though. if you look at native americans, thats what you all might look like in a thousand years or so, only lighter. the evolutions already started with some of you in east asia being born with “double eyelids. just get surgery, the end result will be the same anyway.

58 asian woman with natural double-eyelids // Aug 14, 2008 at 4:21 am
I don’t see people accusing white women who go to tanning salons of trying to be hispanic/black/other-typically-dark-skinned race. There is no logic in the motivation for blepharoplasty being to look more \Western\. In all honesty, trying to look like the other Asian quarter-to-half of the population (real percentage depending on your genetic origin) doesn’t exactly have anything to do with having some sort of issue with your own heritage. It’s certainly not sad Asians want to look like more beautiful Asians with double-eyelids. What are the people who naturally have double-eyelids supposed to do to proclaim their pride in their own heritage… get rid of their double-eyelids?!

For anyone who’s ever wondered, caucasians evolved in caves, asians (orientals) evolved in snow.
Keep in mind caucasians have almost no melanin, and albinism is such a rare occurence in blacks that it wouldn’t have been enough to sprout an entire race, so there had to have been a mass-adaptation to a certain environment i.e. dark caves, and in an already cloudy environment.
Asians evolved around Siberia. Extremely cold and cloudy, but sunny enough to retain some pigment.
Wiki human skin colour. It should give you a lot of insight as to how caucasians and asians separately depigmented after they left africa.
As for the eyes…
Traversing through endless fields of snow and fishing on reflective sheets of ice without proper eye and facial protection gave rise to the epicanthic fold. It’s interesting to note that Lappoids and the Sami peoples in Scandinavia also have them. These are caucasians who have partially evolved asian features. Studies have proven that it wasn’t misegenation that made them that way, but evolution by living nomadically in an extreme cold environment.
And this why I think race should be taught in schools, because all this political correctness has not only resulted in certain people being lumped into one category due to complete ignorance, but people understandably don’t even have the slightest hint on their own origins.

I read somewhere that 50-70% of Asians have natural double eyelids. Most of the people I’ve seen up close in VN have creases, although who knows if they had surgery or not. I can only tell if they go overboard.
One of my eyes has a crease while the other doesn’t. -like this little girl http://toilanguoi.lethien.com/gallery13/02_girl.jpg
But the one crease goes away after a night of crying. Or if I stay up too late and my eyes are tired.

As an asian community we really shouldn’t think having larger eyes is more beautiful. We should really cherish our unique features. And it’s really sad that all cultures tend to try to look more Western, just because of what the media portrays to be “beautiful”. I’ve seen lots of beautiful people in all races who don’t have the essentials of “beauty” people seen to be only known to. I can’t believe this is on “stuff asian people like”, I’m Asian and I absolutely don’t like the idea of ‘Eye Enlargement’. I hope there are other Asians who feel the same as I do.

Asian women are the most beautiful and exceptional creatures on the planet. My love for them began five years ago and I am completely smitten. I have been dating the same Korean girl for nearly two years, and there is definitely a absurd notion that is bred into the minds of Asian girls. They all want to be beautiful, the ones that can’t complain about the ones who are. “Those who can do, those who cannot complain about those who can.” But 1/8 people on Earth are Asian women. There are so many of them, so many beautiful a decent ones, and so many of the stereotype as well, unfortunately. But there is one for everybody.

I happen to be half white and half native american, so people tend to call me “Eurasian”- I am satisfied with my eyelids, they’re in-between, not too much or too little, so I am blessed there. I think that no matter what, no woman will ever be truly happy with how they look. As many said, we all want what we are not. I dont think too many are simply striving to be like another race, however. And damn, for being such ‘ugly’ white people, we apparently rule beauty with the media, which I for one do not believe. All races are beautiful, none are above another. No one’s eyes are prettier than anyone elses, all types have their own qualities. Big eyes are innocent, smaller are more demure… the list goes on. People have to get over themselves.

However, there was a change after the surgery and my eyes did look way better, whether i wanna admit it or not.

Vietnamese tend not to worry about the size of their eyes because we usually have two folds and big eyes.

84 I HATE STUPIDITY // Dec 17, 2008 at 3:33 am
OK so I think we need a little post about why people do this in the first place.
Fact:
A) All girls use eyeliner
B) even caucasians the older ones get their creases more defined because when they get older their skin sag and u get the idea
hmmm? why do girls try to get bigger eyes? why the crease? because (NOT bc they want to look cauasian bc Hispanics have double eyelids as well like all other races) BUT DOMINANT features r attractive like high cheek bones and angelina jolie lips, longer forehead. it appeals to the eye faster.
if you need a better example big breasts usually more appealing than small breasts. or long limbs like models that are longer in proportion to your body or a long torso
NEXT!
why the circle lenses you ask? personally i think they’re scary but I can understand the appeal in them. humans when they see something they like (not on drugs) their pupils, irises get bigger. normal human reaction. think any person you’ve ever had a crush on and liked you back and looked into your eyes their irises and pupils got bigger and for some reason they were more attractive when that happened. those lenses are mimicking that human response and some people think they are more attractive and llook friendlier when they wear them. ( also can you really pin wearing circle lenses an attempt to look more white?)
If you still have a problem why Asian girls try to alter their looks. then how about you ask every girl of every race why they put on make up or false eyelashes extensions or dye their hair. its an attempt to create DOMINANT FEATURES… you want a natural girl? get yourself a girlfriend who doesn’t shave their armpits and has a unibrow. it’s not about shallow (for some it is) but its ABOUT taking care of yourself and having fun while you’re doing it
ITS JUST PURE IGNORANCE TO CALL IT SELF-RACISM! if you wanna fight me on it find yourself an asian who goes to a doctor and says make me look like a white person.
seriously why don’t we have a discussion why white people tattoo asian characters on their body, wear kimonos, try to get asian girlfriends or learn the language and try to fly to japan. like how would they feel if they were called self-hating caucasians for that?

If Asians dont try to be white..how come in animes, the girls often have larger breasts contrary to the Asian figure accompanied with (usually) blonde hair, large blue eyes, and straighter noses? Also tons of Asia celebrities dye their hair blonde and try a more Caucasian look. Tons of Asian news sites on plastic surgery speak about how Asian American girls felt inferior because there are so many blondes with big eyes here in America. For some reason, white means “big-blue eyes” and “blonde hair” to them and the parents tell their daughters that, if they had surgery, their eyes would look more round and Caucasian. it’s true, but sad.

We all wear make up. Why? We want to look beautiful. We are only human. BUT when you start to over do it with unnecessary surgery. I think its ridiculous. Bottom line I think a lot of you girls are so insecure! BUT keep in mind this glue stuff will only damage your eyes & make them look like old ladies in the long run! Build up your confidence~!

Difference is awesome, so why would you wanna look the same as a Korean soap actress or that half Thai/half British model. There are 6.75 billion of us on this God-given Earth. Shouldn’t we be celebrating the fact that not one of us look like any other?
And can people please just stop stereotyping and categorizing?! please?!!!
NE Asian, Aborigini, SE Asian, Hispanic, African, Polynesian, Melanesian, and oooooh drumroll please… Caucasian! and should we start making a list of those who have ‘mixed’ parentage?
And whats up with people posting comments like All Asians self-hate? GOlly gosh oh how Tiger Woods must hate his mother for being Thai, and so that must be why he has a Thai middlename and decided to practice his mother’s religion! And I suppose my father married a Norweigan woman so to lessen his Asian self hate and not because he grew up there since he was 12 and my mother and him had gotten past physical differences to find the gold underneath? Okay, fine, I take after my father more so I’m short, light-boned, my eyes don’t have that ‘crease’ and are like ‘rice’ but the colour is a murky greenish kind of colour — So, guys, if I didn’t tell you of my origins, what would you think when you first set eyes on me? Judging by you lots comments/posts, I’m guessing something along the lines of “Oh there’s another self hating Asian who put on contacts and put so much white powder on her face!”
So my Thai friend who wants to look like Song Hye-kyo hates being Asian???
Damn, I try do some research on the Beijing Olympics and its social effects in Asia and this kinda shit comes up and off I go on a tangent.
But I completely understand why girls(and boys!-why don’t people criticize men as much?!!) feel so pressured to change their appearances.
K I’m gonna stop ranting. But I wish schools taught Anthropology. Then people will learn that they all of yous came from Africa, and you all eat, shit, cry, bleed the same as any other culture. And thank goodness we’re moving back to Norway soon, the States need to stop media-rizing EVERYTHING!
P.S And do please stop using the term ‘White’ – noone on planet Earth has white skin. It’s more like a light pinkish colour if you really just have to label it. Oh and ‘Yellow’ skin? As if.
I’m sure the girls know that when trying out foundation you never see white, yellow, black. It’s more like NC20,NW40 or ivory,sand,honey,tan,or the like.
P.P.S And for those wanting surgery you only live once so if u really wanna slit ur eyes open bigger then go grab that knife! if u wanna b a walking,talking melanoma for the sake of being darker skinned, then sure go sit in those horrible sunbeds. Its not up to me nor anyone else to try tell you to do otherwise. It’s your eyes, boobs, lipids, stretch marks, wrinkles, baldness, non-regulation penii —I’ve always wondered- you know how octopuses is octopii and radiuses are radii… so Penises=Penii?

In shorter form, the teenage girl in it considers the surgery because she is pressured and wants more confidence in her looks.

This article and some of these comments are annoyingly ignorant.
“Fact: Asian women think that their eyes are ugly.
Wtf?! first off, who gave anyone the right to speak for ALL Asian women?
Also, you cant talk crap about Asian women doing things to their eyes when its basically the same thing as when other people get breast implants, dye their hair, or opt for other plastic surgeries/botox in order to make themselves(into what they think is)more beautiful because they were brainwashed into thinking that beauty is the standard big eyes,skinny, big breasts, blahdiddydang blah.
I’m Chinese and my whole life, I’ve only been complimented for my “Asian” traits (and that includes my mono lids)
Other girls unfortunately, weren’t as lucky as I was and were teased when they were younger which caused them to think that the only beautiful eye was a large double lidded eye (same goes for the big breasts, skinny body, and all that junk.)
And this stereotype is SO annoying (as all stereotypes are) Half the women and men in my family have large, double lidded eyes (Yes, they are full Chinese) and people presume that they underwent surgery. Asians CAN have big eyes and for those who don’t, kudos for looking exotic, different, and freggin beautiful.

but who are people to go bashing these girls for eyelid surgery or using that glue/tape stuff when the same thing is happening everyday like when a person goes to get a tan because they want to change their skin color or undergo surgery on other parts of the body. hypocrisy these days.

Why does every thing non-white women do for the sake of looking different, have to mean they want to be white. Come on people. Does a starving bony white woman want to look Asian despite their big boned appearance? Women like to look different sometimes. Its fun, and it is the best part about being a girl. Can someone tell me who white women are trying to be when they have lip and butt enlargement? Of course not, because everyone knows they are so secure.

I hope the Asian women looking at these stupid comments do not feel they have to stay in a little box so that people will not accuse them of trying to look white. Black women just ignore them, and so should you(Asian women). White women have wayyyyyy more alterations than non-white women. Just because they(Asian women) want big eyes doesn’t mean they want to be white. White people aren’t the only people on the planet with big eyes. Just as black women who straighten their hair aren’t trying to look white. Again, white people aren’t the only people on earth with straight hair. If anything black women want to look like a black woman with straight hair and a Asian woman want to look like an Asian woman with big eyes. White people really need to get over themselves.

My opinion is that everyone should be happy with what they have. I don’t understand how giving yourself fake physical characteristics is supposed to make you feel so much better–they’re fake.
Ever heard of ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder?’
Seriously, has anyone ever heard of the word ’satire’? And don’t tell me you’ve never once generalized or stereotyped in your life. This site was created for some laughs and it even works to *disprove* a lot of stereotypes when you take a look at the comments. Some people will agree/be like the stereotypes, some won’t. That’s the whole point. That is all.

I am an Asian and have had the so-called “eye enlargement” surgery about 6 months ago. I think it is a misconception that Asian girls wants “double eyelids” because of western influence. I was born with the typical Asian eyes and have always wanted to get the surgery done. It is not because Westerners have got big eyes and Asians want that too. In Asia, having big eyes symbolizes beauty because a person actually looks a lot more spirited with big eyes.
I know many Westerners who think that Asian eyes are unique and beautiful, thinking that there’s no need for them to undergo any surgery. In Asian perspective however, having big eyes = beautiful. I think it’s bias for a Westerner to say that Asian eyes are beautiful. It may be so to them, but in Asia that is usually not the case.
It is simply a way of how different culture defines beauty. I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with Western influence. Besides, if an Asian decides to have eyes like a White, it wouldn’t fit their sockets. The way our faces are made are just different. It’s impossible to put a pair of Western eyes on a complete Asian face. It would look really wrong.
I don’t see the problem with trying to look beautiful by going through surgeries. Plastic surgeries won’t give anyone a perfect face but it can sure correct the flaws a person dislike about his/her physical features. It’s just like coloring your hair: is that the natural color? Or piercing your ears. Or even putting on make-up. Doing anything to look beautiful is basically “unnatural.” Surgeries are just permanent. That’s the only difference. And women being women, beauty is a nature. It just depends on how much a woman is willing to go to achieve her desired look.

109 Evelyn // Mar 25, 2009 at 6:05 pm
In contrast to what I just said, I think it’s rather ignorant for anyone to actually believe Asians want to look like Caucasians. It doesn’t matter if Caucasians have got big eyes or not because the way we perceive beauty is not influenced by Whites. In fact, the way we see eyes that are beautiful is different on an Asian face and a Caucasian face. I honestly wouldn’t want eyes like a Caucasian. However, small eyes look tired and constantly sleepy which is why many Asian girls go for the surgery.
An example would be butts. No offense but I think Caucasians have got huge butts. In Asia, it would be defined as fat. In N. America however, big butts are sexy.
So please stop thinking that “They wanna look like us!” It’s not a matter of looking like anyone else. It’s just how we see beauty.

I am an asian female with almond-shaped eyes (not really big) and double lids, but I don’t think I have the slimmest nose. I think everyone has some insecurities about how they look. I hate it when people tell asian women with single eyelids not to get any surgery because they think they’re beautiful and unique. It’s easier to say someone looks “fine” than to be that person with that problem and always being told you’re not hot enough by some guy, for example.
I think everyone is perfect just how they are, but I am not against small alterations if they will make that person feel so much better in the long run. If you think of wanting a surgery, and you still want it a year later, I think there isn’t anything wrong with getting it as long as you do your research and it’s not something that could do you harm. But do it for yourself and not for someone else. This is coming from a pre-med student, not just some vain girl that wants to be an internet star.

It doesnt mean theyre not proud to be asian but they just want bigger eyes because they think it looks nicer. And theyre not trying to be white because arabs, black people, hispanics and south asians have big eyes too and not only white people. Plus white people have surgery to make their lips bigger and their butts bigger but does it mean theyre trying to be like another race. They also get tans so are they ashamed to be white. Its just ignorance, when asians do something its bad but whenever another race does it its ok .

123 Samuel Corpuz Jr. // Aug 25, 2009 at 12:58 am
I found this part of the article very interesting:
“During their teenage years, Asian girls learn about this from an older sister or cousin. They will also develop the asian stare at this age, which will allow them to strike fear into the hearts of people everywhere. The Asian Stare heavily contributes to the enlarging of an asian’s eyes because it requires asians to expose as much of their irises as possible. It will also prepare them for motherhood, where the asian stare will keep their children from going out with friends *gasp*. With repeated use, the Asian Stare will cause a noticeable increase in iris radius, bringing asians one step closer to having eyes as wide as wet noodles.”
Where is the reference for the so-called Asian Stare? This is the first time I heard of it. I know about the glue and the tape, I’m familiar with the surgery, but as an Asian (Filipino, to be precise), the concept of the Asian Stare is completely alien to me.
Is this true? Where exactly in Asia did it come from? Does the writer have verifiable sources for it? Because as far as I can tell, the growth of the eyes is not that much affected by exercise.
The average newborn’s eyeball is about 18 millimeters in diameter, from front to back (axial length). In an infant, the eye grows slightly to a length of approximately 19½ millimeters. And it continues to grow, gradually, to a length of about 24-25 millimeters, or about 1 inch, in adulthood. A ping-pong ball is about 1½ inch in diameter, which makes the average adult eyeball about 2/3 the size of a ping-pong ball.
Staring practice helps increase iris growth? I don’t think so, unless the writer cites sources to prove otherwise.

125 Paul/Dien // Sep 2, 2009 at 3:22 am
uhh just wanna put in my two cents
the whole large eyes thing are a part of our biological make-up, in that it is tied in with our paternal/maternal instincts
eyeballs are one of the few, if not only, things that does not change in size from when we are born to when we become adults, and this is also slightly true to eyelids/eye opening (dependent on skull size but not a lot of growth changes)
babies always appear to have such big eyes, just look around, because they are disproportionate to the rest of their head, which a lot of times give them that cute look that we’re all used to
back to paternal/maternal instincts, blah blah hope i haven’t bored you
ok bye
oh yeah it means that everybody want big eyes, not just to be white.
argh another thing is asians originated from cold areas and slanty eyes better protect from wind, so natural selection
argh basically just know your facts and y’all will stop bitching
good night

But the author of this article needs to get over him or herself if they think that asians are trying to be more white! I’m asian and i have lots of cousins. relatives with natural blond hair ( meaning they were born with the hair and even some with green or blue eyes that are natural, not to mention natural double lids and large eyes). It’s because of stupid crap like this that some of my family members tend to try and dye their hair black and wear contacts so they aren’t blue or green. Realize that people arent always trying to look more westernized, sometimes we are just born with the goods. Also, heck i know a caucasian girl with the whole so called monolids and even she tried to find so eye tape to get the whole double lid look. So has standard changed for her just bc she’s white? Get your sources straight, don’t go on just faud or little research you may have done. It’s unattractive and completely ignorant!

Think of it as a act of sympathy not a sign of change. So I find asians to be very prideful ppl. Think of why so many men of other races have fantasies about hooking up with an asian girl, it’s bc asians usually stick together. Every once in a while there are asians who dates other ethnicities but we mostly date other asians only. not saying it’s a racist act or whatever, bc i mean there are lots of goodlooking ppl who are not asian but for some reason it just happens that way.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to have mor expressive eyes, it doesn’t mean that you are trying to be like another race, there are alot of practical applications — i.e. makeup retention, makeup that SHOWS up in pictures and makeup that doesn’t end up on the bottom half of your eyes when you laugh.
Everyone wants to be beautiful — their own version of beautiful – and yes, beauty is indeed culturally influenced but saying that we want to be white is undermining the intelligence of the Asian female collective.

This article (if one can even call it that) is totally offensive. It should be eliminated pronto; for a site that prides itself on knowing all the “Stuff Asian People Like,” you guys are not doing a good job with keeping up facts.
Are you kidding me? Asians don’t get eye enlargement because it helps them look “White.” If anything, you seem to have a huge prejudice towards Asian people and how they view Caucasians. Seriously, fix your inferiority complex, and stop spreading lies.
The reason why Asians get double eyelid surgery is that it helps them put makeup on easier, and it livens up their eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, ever heard of that? The bigger the eyes, the greater the attractiveness.
Anyhow, I’m sick and tired of people accusing others who want double eyelids or bigger eyes as wanting to look Caucasian. So if you dyed your hair blond, you’re trying to be White too? What if you dyed your hair millions of different colors prior to blond? It makes no sense to pinpoint Blond as a right clearly belonging to Caucasians, or double eyelids. It’s a human right; not a fucking privilege. No one owns any traits, not even dominant ones. They belong in every race, in every facet of our society.
Get off your racist high horse, and read more about Asian people’s preferences. Stop embarrassing the rest of us. Don’t even try to represent us. You’re a complete fail in that category.

I’m of Chinese descent, and found this very interesting. I naturally have “phoenix shaped” eyes which means that I do have double folds and they do have a slight slant to them, but they aren’t exactly the really big eyes or the “chinky” eyes either.
I have to agree with the others, the caucasians don’t necessarily own any of the “big eyed” traits either. They can happen in any race, or culture. People who dye their hair blonde or purple or whatever may not be trying to look “caucasian” either. It could be just their form of expression.

144 Two sides // Jan 17, 2010 at 2:49 pm
As an east asian with natural double (and sometimes triple) folds, and having rather large eyes due to slight eye protrusion, I can honestly say there are some down sides to having large eyes. Yes, larger eyes are a sign of beauty in many cultures, because it makes you look younger and more innocent. The downside of this, is that you come off looking more naive and gullible. Growing up, more people have attempted to scam/trick me compared to my monolidded friends. People usually will judge me as naive, or “don’t know shi*t”, you get the picture. Guys try to run more games on me. My friends who have slantier eyes look wiser and smarter, and people are more honest with them as a result. These are just my two cents. All eyes are beautiful so long as they are relatively symmetrical. Besides, many times, it is what you see behind the eyes that captivates the soul.

For every person who even likes this idea. I wish you to die. Asian eyes are superior to every other type of eyes as well as every other aspect. The only thing worse than a white person is an asian who looks/acts white.
Japanese dont need sunglasses, and they will continue to dominate at EVERYTHING. And I cant wait till China takes over the world and hopefully kills anyone who is not asian. It is those white slobs that are different, not asians. Im onlly a quarter pacific islander and mostly white, and have grown up in a white community with white friends so im not saying this narrow-mindedly. Even growing up, before I knew what race was, I could tell that everyone around me except for the asians were rude and boligerant and look down upon anyone whos not them. being 3/4 white, I hate being associated with these freaks of nature with their double ridge eyelids.

151 Double Eyelids NOT= White // Jul 4, 2010 at 7:56 am
Double eyelids do not necessarily mean ‘white’. Africans, malays and even indians have beautiful double eyelids. I know that not all caucasians are like that, but some of you really have to stop thinking that everyone is trying to look like you. I have plenty of asian friends (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) who have natural double eyelids. In Asian blepharoplasty, the aim is not to create folds akin to those of other ethnic groups, that would look unnatural. Only an inexperienced surgeon would attempt to create folds like high parallel folds on an Asian.

Alot of you people are so ignorant. Why is it Asian want their eyes to be big have to be considered as wanting to be white. I’m Viet and have big eyes and natural eyelids. If I have small eyes, and want to make my eyes look bigger, does it still make me into a white person, F*** NO!!!!!!!!! And for your information, South East Asian people do have big eyes with natural eyelids. Don’t assumed that white people only have big eyes with eyelids. Indian, blacks, and Hispanics all have it too.

Yes asians are really beautiful the way they are, but there
are ugly asians just as there are ugly white people and any other nationality!
Not all white women are UGLY!
LOOK AT PARIS HILTON
SHE IS NOT UGLY!
Not just white women age faster so DO ASIANS!
It depends on family GENES AND WHAT YOU EAT!
I know that they eat VERY HEALTHY IN ASIA
AND THAT IS WHY THEY DO NOT AGE FAST OR ANYTHING!
MAYBE WHITE PEOPLE EAT TO MUCH MCDONALDS AND CRAP!
YOU RACIST DICKS!
EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL!
WHICH IS WHY JESUS MADE EVERYONE OF US UNIQUE!
