what are your opinions on "exotic" women?

So..most of my american male friends are absolutely infatuated with oriental women (due to their skin and build) I asked one he said he found them exotic. So in other words because they arent like american women. Now for other countries I'm not so sure about, would an asian man find an american or canadian woman exotic because they're from a different country? Or is it just the men I know that think this way?

Update:

also, with obesity and such most of my female friends (including myself) are thankfully slim due to exercise and healthy eating. The men on the other hand..very few are slim or athletic..mostly kind of chubby or overweight.

    I think men and women are both intrigued by the exotic. That's not exclusive to men. I prefer to date outside my race. I don't like white guys.

    Well first of all I want to correct you or simply ask you a question. Are you implying that the "american woman" is a white women? If you are then you are wrongly mistaken american women are women born in america, not women of a certain race, and if you remember correctly or if you have opened a history text book ever in your life then you should know that native americans were here before anyone. Anyways....most men consider a women to be "exotic" when she is different from the norm, however in this case the guys you were talking to were probably speaking of a women who has beautiful eyes other than the color brown or blue, she would probably have a deeper skin tone like that of an indian women, etc. Any one thing you may be right about is that if you did go to another country the men there may consider you to be somewhat exotic.

    Seen as Europeans emigrated to America an American eating a frankfurter in one of the 13 Berlins in America isnt all that exotic. It depends though. I would say African American women are exotic.

    However if by exotic they mean not obese I have bad news for you...

    Yes, exotic simply means:

    "1. From another part of the world; foreign: exotic tropical plants in a greenhouse. See Synonyms at foreign.

    2. Intriguingly unusual or different; excitingly strange: "If something can be explained simply, in a familiar way, then it is best to avoid more exotic explanations" (Chet Raymo). See Synonyms at fantastic.

    OR --

    3. Of or involving striptease: an exotic dancer."

    "Exotic" is such a relative term. There is no such thing as an exotic woman, or an exotic group - there are only perceptions of exoticism that derive from someone's lack of exposure to certain people or certain regions of the world.

    In many asian countries, many men there are fastened by women with blond hair and western looking features. So much so that some oriental women get plastic surgery to make their eyes look round. And of course, many asian women who actually live in Asia bleach their hair (you can guess why).

    I'm sure it's the novelty which makes someone exotic due to cultural reasons, but I happen to really enjoy being with Asian (oriental girls) because sex is much more enjoyable with them.

    For some reason, a lot of people where I live define exotic as having dark hair, tan skin, light eyes, and big lips.

    Exotic women are great because they work so much harder in bed (and we always have a better time). Western women just lie there and expect you to do all the work to make them orgasm. If they don't finish, it is always your fault, not the fact that they suck.

    If you are a white, euro-descent female, just go live in Japan and you'll be "exotic."
