This generation alot of interracial relationship became apart of our society. Specially in Asia alot of women marry a western guy or having a western boyfriend but rarely seeing or knowing Asian guy with western girl together. Its always an issue in asia and became a trending topic on web but most or all who give are just asians and quite not satisfied. Many would say because of wealth, opportunity, and having beautiful kids. I have a question in mind. This goes to all western people. This question goes specially to western girls, Do you define asian handsome and beautiful? And how do you define beauty in both continents? Would you believe because of money and not by loved. I would appreciate a western could answer. Thank you!

Western girl here! :) The dominate trend, as you said, is Asian women with Western men. I don't think there is one uniform motive behind these relationships. Some probably do it for money, and others for love. The stereotypes say that Asian women see Western men as rich and an escape from poverty. Another stereotype says Western men find Asian women beautifully exotic and more submissive then their Western counterparts. But these are stereotypes. "Asian women" is a very broad category - you can't just paint across the entire category with one brush!
Would I define Asian as attractive? Well that's a more complicated question than it first appears to be. Asia is a name for a vast amount of land that contains millions of people. One can not just make a general statement and apply it to so many people. So my answer will be a bit more complicated.
I find some Asians attractive, and I find some unattractive. It's the same with Europeans, Africans or any group you chose. I find that for myself, race is not of much concern to me when I am deciding what is attractive. I am more concerned with the eyes and face, which are universal among the races. Now sometimes the race of a person can help to set off a certain feature. For example, with Asians, their typically lighter skin sets of their typically dark brown eyes.
I would define Asian as varied when it comes to attractiveness. I would say the same for my own group, the Europeans. In all groups you find attractive and unattractive people. There is no one universally beautiful race.
How would I define beauty for both continents? That's a tough one. I'm not very familiar with beauty standards in Asia. Even the West has variations from country to country. However some things seem applicable to both continents. There is a desire for slenderness, expressive eyes, and symmetrical faces. I know that both continents appreciate full, red lips for women. And I a sure on both that people will find people with money more attractive then those without money.
Hope I answered all of your questions! :)

I have had the good opportunity to travel to countries in the Far East. I am always impressed with the people and the cultures in the countries. I would say that each nationality there has very unique beauty and features. One is not more beautiful than the other. In fact, one is as beautiful and attractive as the other, in very unique ways.

Obviously this is an old question, but I'll answer anyway just because. There are so many reason that you might not see Western women with Asian males. Much of it could be cultural. Now actually I'm seeing a rise in Asian men and Western female couples in my area, especially with Indian men and Caucasian females. It is still a low number, but much more than the years before. Where my sister lives there are tons of AM/WF couples. Yes, Asian is handsome and beautiful, although I find some is more so than others.

I think all races have their beautiful people. I have a second cousin female who married an Asian. He is not bad looking but most of all he is the nicest person you could want around you. Now another nephew married an Asian and it did not work out at all.

for me, it really depends on what type of Asian, I mean, I guess I could be considered western because I grew up in the US but I also grew up in Hawaii where I was exposed to a lot of different types of looks. I'm a Filipino mix myself, it could be considered Asian or Pacific Islander, I know there have been debates as well, but since I'm also mixed with Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese and Hawaiian I don't look too much Asian. My husband although (met in Hawaii) is 100% Japanese, Okinawan more specifically. I never really liked the look of Asians because it was all I saw, I honestly wanted to marry a man who was tall with blond hair and blue eyes purely to get my children into more of a mixed category. But, I fell in love with an Asian. I still don't find a lot of Asian men attractive, but I do have my share. Most of the good looking Asians I've seen are models or actors so of course it's a given that they're good looking. But I do think Asian woman are a lot more attractive as a group. I understand why men are attracted to Asian woman because of their exotic look.
If you want to go scientifically, to have your face symmetric will cause you to look better then other people. But that can only get you the initial conversation. From there, beauty becomes the eye of the beholder as most woman will fall in love with your personality.
I think money can have a small part in woman selecting their partner. But woman who only look for money as a deciding factor don't make good loving wives in my opinion because once the money runs out..so do their interest. you should concentrate on finding a woman who wants you for the way you are. Woman are hard to understand and hard to explain because we never know what women are thinking.
And even though I didn't get my blond hair blue eyed husband, my children are still good looking Asian boys. =)
