I think she looks excellent. Not drop dead beauty, but very cute. IWHI.

Yep she's beautiful, what's with the "too skinny" comments are there a lot of chubby chasers in the house?

But then again, you must be one of those who would never be satisfied with a woman unless she is absolutely perfect (which would mean no moles, beauty spots, freckles, etc.)

Hotbox08: I'm a professional at my job. And it involves selecting the perfect person for a specific job.

I swim a lot and most the women are wearing the most bland looking jobbers. I WISH more women wore suits like this. And, we need to bring back bathing caps that are cute, too. Even obasans would be better looking with more stellar suits and caps on. Those guys wearing really brief suits, though, don't have to change a thang IMHO! :-~

Well, you have every right to your opinion. As for me, I prefer that people like themselves for whom they are; imperfections or not. To me, true beauty runs deeper than the skin. At first glance, Nanao looks quite stunning to me, with or without her few beauty spots. Now if I got to know her and her character was also beautiful, then that would enhance her beauty even further. If she has a bitchy personality, then a bitch is a bitch is a bitch. End of story.

Another thing that makes a woman attractive is posture. Good posture, how they walk, and carry themselves goes a long way, IMHO.

Hotbox08: Well, you could keep your opinions to yourself too. I made comments about a profession not on personal basis. Those women are not my friends and I do not intend to get to know them on a personal basis.

FYI: I'm here giving my personal comments that I'm entitled to. I'm not here trying to bitch or be bitchy about anything.

seesaw: Please read my post again. I've never said anything of the sort that your opinion is not welcomed. Here's what I said again.

Well, you have every right to your opinion.

In other words, your opinion is truly welcomed. Yet, don't try to make me believe in your opinion. However, I have as every right to my opinion on the subject of beauty as you do in yours. I guess it truly proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

BTW, if you are really commenting on Nanao in a professional sense, and if you are truly a professional, then explain to me how is it that you can confuse a mole and a beauty spot? Besides, you are judging on a picture which isn't all that of a good quality anyway. I'm just surprised that in this day and age that this photo hasn't been Photoshopped like 90% of model's photos are these days.

To add:

seesaw: Even if you were stating the needed perfection of a woman's skin as a prerequisite for being a beautiful model, then I would still be against that line of thinking. Perpetuating the myth that all models have to be skinny (bordering on anorexic), flawless, white-skinned, beings is just downright wrong. In my opinion, models can and should come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Unfortunately, until we come to accept that, self-image problems, anorexia, bulimia, suicide, etc. amongst women and girls will continue to exist.

Hotbox08: whatever.... I've to get going with my busy job. You could stay here and enjoy the pics! good bye!

Both are beautiful!

Average Asian girl. No big deal.

Satoko Miyata looks sexier

Do you know what insulting some other guy's taste in women gets you? An argument, nothing more. So why bother? This girl is not my type because of her overly long spine and I don't like that sort of face. She is still cute in a way, just not for me. Stupid to bicker about it. Just be happy that potential competition does turn elsewhere.

To each their own. We all got bigger fish to fry.
