2065438+August 6, 2004 1 1:4 1 fashion columnist: I have something to say (8283 people participated)
Some time ago, there was a hot discussion on the Internet: Why are all men in China so ugly? China men's image temperament is not worthy of China women?
Whether you are ugly or not, you don't deserve it. It's no use just quarreling, the data have to be decided. The aspect ratio of male face in China is 1:0.86, while that of westerners is 1:0.74. Coupled with the big collapsed nose with a width equal to 1/4 face width, the overall effect is "not three-dimensional" as the saying goes.
In terms of figure, under the condition of the same height, the shoulders of China men are 2 cm and 3 cm narrower than those of Japanese and American men, but their waists and bellies are quite full, which can't be related to "bodybuilding" in any case.
Men in China smoke a lot, and they are bald and have rotten teeth. 40% are nearsighted, but few people wear contact lenses; From the appearance, they seem to be bankrupt, unwilling to spend money and time to shape their bodies, and unwilling to invest too much in dressing and cosmetics.
These are not just words, but data from various research reports. Today, Yi will tell you with data, where are the ugly men in China?

China's man's face perfectly explains what "non-stereoscopic" means.
A few years ago, when a foreign friend named Roger Bauer was designing a helmet, he found that the size system used in the West was not suitable for Asians. So he came up with the idea of establishing a database of China people's heads. Since 2007, he and other researchers from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University have started to collect data on the "head" of six provinces and cities in China. Their ultimate goal is to make China people look more beautiful-the design of hats, glasses and even masks requires accurate head and face data.
Computer-generated China standard male and female looks
They collected more than 2,000 three-dimensional data of China people's heads and faces, and found that China men's heads are not big, even a circle smaller than those of westerners: the average head circumference of China men is about 570 mm, which is smaller than that of westerners10 ~ 20 mm. At the same time, the head of China people is rounder than that of westerners, and the position of the back of the head, commonly known as "the back pillow", is relatively flat. Looking down from the top of the head, the heads of westerners are oval, while those of China are more round. This has caused a "tragedy". China's head circumference is smaller, but his forehead is wider, that is, his face is bigger.
More tragically, the aspect ratio of male face in China is about 1:0.86, which is obviously wider than that of westerners 1:0.74-that's why the face is big and round.
In addition to the facial contour, the organ that best reflects the "three-dimensional sense" is undoubtedly the nose. In 2009, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Sichuan University completed a facial feature survey of a Xiang Han ethnic group. They measured the body data of 3000 Han people and then compared them with the data of the United States. The results show that compared with American men, China men have wider and shorter faces, bigger mouths and more "flat noses".
However, according to this survey, women in China have no right to laugh at men in China: compared with women in the United States, women in China have wider and rounder faces and flatter noses. Moreover, compared with American samples, men in China have at least sharp chins, while women in China only have completely round faces.
In fact, in China's traditional physiognomy, there are strict and clear regulations on "beauty", and its standard is "three courts and five eyes". That is to say, a beautiful woman or handsome boy must meet such harsh standards: the face is divided into three equal parts from top to bottom, from forehead to eyebrows, from eyebrows to nasal tip, from nasal tip to chin; Divided into five equal parts from left to right, the width of the eyes is equal to the distance between the eyes, and the distance from the nose to the eyes is the same width.
Standard drawing of "three courts and five eyes"
If screened according to this standard, the proportion of "handsome guys" in China will drop sharply, and the main problem is not the eyes, but the nose.
Sampling survey data of different groups show that there is a wide nose in the center of China male face, which is close to a quarter of the width of the face. Even the pilots who are famous for their slim figure and handsome appearance have an average nose width of only 3.8 cm, which is only 0. 1 cm less than that of other groups.
Another set of data is more telling. Although the Russians with Slavic ancestry in China have some characteristics of yellow race after several generations of ethnic integration, the average nose width of Russian men is only 3.5 cm, and the proportion of facial features is closer to the standard of "three courts and five eyes".
China man's figure-plump.
For nearly ten years, men in China have been struggling with one thing. There is a piece of news that appears in different ways almost every once in a while. The content is that the average height of men in China is worse than that of our neighbors. The latest version comes from an appeal of Wu Zhengxian, a deputy to the National People's Congress, on March 6: "The average height of Korean men is1.74m, ranking in the world18; The average height of Japanese men is1.707m, ranking 29th. The average height of men in China is only1.697m, ranking 32nd. China boys aged 7 to 17 are 2.54 cm shorter than Japanese boys of the same age. "
This time, the State Sports General Administration finally couldn't help it. Tian Ye, director of the Institute of Sports Science, personally denied the rumor at a meeting held in April this year, saying that Wu Zhengxian quoted the investigation report of the Institute of Sports of the State General Administration of Sports in 2000. In the past 14 years, the average height of Chinese men, especially the younger generation, has increased significantly. The survey data of 20 17 1.6 cm. Tian Tian also said that he hasn't found any effective surveys in Japan and southern China recently to prove that the average height of men in these two countries is higher than that of men in China.
However, height must not be the same as figure, just like China women's obsession with "long-legged Oba". The perfect male figure ratio should be: seven heads, wide shoulders, thin waist and long legs.
Du Jun looked up the report of China Adult Body Shape and found that the average shoulder width of men aged 25-35 in China was 37.5 cm, which was 2.2 cm narrower than that of Japanese men and 3.3 cm narrower than that of American men. Even excluding the height factor, under the same height condition, the shoulders of China men are 2 cm narrower than those of Japanese men and more than 3 cm narrower than those of American men.
Looking down, China men have thicker waists and wider hips.
In the book "Richness: Waist Circumference Changes in China" published by Zhejiang University Press in 20 12, the authors Paul French and Matthew Graber provided a set of data from the clothing industry: 1985, the average waist circumference of urban men in China was only 63.5 cm, which was close to 76.2 cm in 20 12.
According to the data obtained by the State Sports General Administration through the physical monitoring of nearly 460,000 people in China, these two foreign friends have left a lot of face for China men. In fact, the waistline of men in China is much larger than the data in books. The average waist circumference of young people aged 25-29 is close to 82 cm, and that of men increases with age. The average waist circumference of men over 40 years old is above 85 cm.
On May 6th, 2003, World Obesity Prevention Day and National Health Forum were held in Beijing. According to a survey released by a commercial company, half of people in China are overweight, while nearly 70% of men are facing an obesity crisis. The report shows that the overweight and obesity rate of men in China has surpassed that of women in ten years. By 20 12, the overweight and obesity rate of young and middle-aged men will reach 48.8%, which is about 1.6 times that of women. In addition, China men are most likely to gain weight at the waist and abdomen. I'm afraid the length of such a thick waist, such a big belly and legs is not important.
Men in China have no habit of exercising at all: by the end of 20 13, there were only about 5,000 commercial fitness clubs in China, of which the profit did not exceed 20%.
There is no need to compare with European and American countries with fitness traditions. Even the number of fitness centers per 6,543,800 people in Hong Kong is 3.5 times that in Beijing, and it is already the most densely populated city in China.
Men in China are indifferent to smoking, dental caries, myopia and hair loss.
From the appearance, it seems that men in China are used to throwing pots and pans. According to the survey, 70% of Japanese men think it is very important to improve their appearance, but for a China man, when a bad habit or a chronic disease is weakening his charm, he always shows indifference.
Two thirds of men in China smoke. Tobacco will not only damage their health, but also make their teeth pale. Middle-aged men in China have an average of 1. 14 dental caries, but they only repair and treat 0.79 of them.
The myopia rate of Chinese men is higher than 40%, but they don't like contact lenses, preferring to wear a pair of glasses that may not be so beautiful and comfortable all the year round. According to the statistics of the World Vision Association, nearly 40% of myopia patients wearing contact lenses in the United States are men. The proportion in Hong Kong is 26%; Taiwan Province province is17%; However, the proportion of men wearing contact lenses in Chinese mainland is too low to be on the list.
Hair loss is one of the most intuitive factors affecting men's image, and the incidence of male hair loss in China is approaching western countries. A survey conducted by Chinese Medical Doctor Association 20 10 in five cities found that the incidence of male alopecia reached 25%. Men in China often invest little money and energy in the early stage of onset, pretend to be willing to treat, and then stop treatment after a period of time.
Fortunately, so far, Iraq has not been entangled in the troubles of these people. But it's hard to say in a few years.
Men don't care about dressing up.
20 1 1 Beijing 17 shopping mall clothing sales report shows that there are 48 women's brands * * and 236 men's brands * * *, and women's clothing occupies 3-6 times as many floors as men's.
Although pockets are gradually bulging, men in China don't spend much money on clothes. 20 12, the conclusion of listed companies in men's wear industry is "not optimistic"; 20 13, summarized as "performance deterioration"; In the first half of this year, the situation continued to deteriorate. ...
Men's wear brands thought that China men's enthusiasm for buying clothes would increase with their enthusiasm for buying cars and electronic products, but the reality gave them a heavy blow. The continuous depression of men's wear companies for many years is also related to the development of e-commerce. During the "Double Eleven" period of 20 13, the total sales of the top ten men's wear brands were higher than those of the top ten women's wear brands, and the long-accumulated consumption desire of China men was released on this day.
Men's wear brands will certainly envy the growth rate of men's cosmetics market. Last year, the sales of men's beauty and skin care products in China increased by 7%, faster than that of women's cosmetics. As early as 2007, the "Fashion Index Survey Report" showed that more than 33% of China families owned men's beauty and skin care products, while more than 50% of families with a monthly income of more than 5,000 yuan owned men's beauty and skin care products.
On average, every man in China spends less than 1 USD on cosmetics every year.
According to the latest survey data of Euromonitor Information Consulting, a British research company, by the end of 20 12, Korean men's skin care products ranked first in the world, followed by China. South Korea has maintained the number one sales volume in the world in recent ten years, and the average annual consumption of Korean men is 1 1.3 USD, which is equivalent to RMB 69 yuan. China people can rank second, or take advantage of the large population. On average, every male in China spends less than one dollar a year on cosmetics-three people spend it together and barely buy the cheapest bottle of facial cleanser. In the domestic skin care market of nearly 70 billion yuan, men's skin care consumption only accounts for 5%.
However, it seems that men in China don't have to worry too much about their appearance. Evolutionary psychologist David Bush 1989 found through a large-scale survey spanning 37 different cultures that women in different countries do not attach importance to men's appearance when choosing a spouse. Most of the "Appearance Association" are inexperienced girls. When they are old enough to talk about marriage, they will also choose an "uncle" with reliable personality and good temper.
Although this conclusion also hurts Yi, it explains why Yi is not married.
