EPTAlso it may be more common in other Asian people but monolids are still far more prevalent than you make them out to be.

It's suppose to represent "higher" class, this has been true long before western influences (just look at Japanese geisha's before Western influence). The white skin is representative of "upper" class, because it meant you didn't tan (didn't work outside; peasant work). Yeah; monolids still prevalent, but the basis of the idea that double eyelids is somehow a "western" ideal is misleading. Also with a lot of the plastic surgery they do get, it's not necessarily just "western" look they're going for. They're just traits that tend to be more prevalent in western society. | ||

I'm aware of the skin bit. Still think that the double eyelids are more of a make eyes bigger-> look less Asian thing. | ||

I took Guckkasten - Monalisa and made a 128kbps version of it. http://www.mediafire.com/?1gpd8w3dfm87j3d Both are there the 128 and 320 versions play them with nice speakers or headphones, the difference is more than noticeable. | ||

If it looks good, it looks good, if it doesn't, then it doesn't look good. Koreans have a weird way of checklisting ideal components of the ideal structure, so always no matter what... double eyelids >>> monolids :S Same goes for the size of the face, etc. The difference between double eyelids and monolids, the supposed korean s-line, etc. are all things you only start noticing when you've been 'confronted' enough with asian/korean faces/body types. So whenever you hear some idiot saying something like 'Hell, whut S-Line, dis gull has no butt and no balcony, wtf are you guys talking about' ... it's just because they haven't been oggling enough. (Yes, 'to oggle' is a legit verb). Oggle SPICA, you won't be dissapointed: there's a reason why it's considered better, and also a reason why they have that checklist. also, it's not a korean thing. It's just more widely used as a metric in their culture. scouts use it for recruiting potential models, etc. On December 25 2012 04:57 Ym1r wrote: I get double eyelids when I'm tired. same, or when I'm sick. it's weird as fuck | ||

 i think it's 128 kbps if you have it ripped from 720p+ quality vids. if you got decent iem's/speakers/headphones, you can really tell the difference. | ||

480 vids are lower, and then 360 and 240 are lower still. The two HD formats have the same audio size though. I don't know what any Youtube mp3 rippers would take, I just have a YT downloader script for Greasemonkey so I have downloaded mp4s in the past and checked out the audio that comes with them. | ||

It used to be just like that here too, atleast in most(if not all) of europe...not sure about the US. Also being fat used to be attractive since it meant you could afford getting there. Times change. | ||
