Why do the Beijing ladies all look like sisters?

[2hip]

So many ladies in Northern China have such a strong resemblance to one another.  Are these Han ladies?  They could pass for sisters they are so similar.  Are there natures any different from, say, that of a Southern Chinese lady?
They are such beautiful, dignified, and classic ladies.  Did I tell you I really like the way they look? (smile)

Sisters or not , I think all Chinese women are beautiful, In western cultures there are ugly and beautiful, Just my opinion, John.

A case of they all look alike to me...

If you have not been exposed to a lot of Chinese people they you tend only to see the racial difference between YOU and them. It is only after you have been around many for an extended time that you start to see all the things that make them different from each other. The ladies in northern China look similar but they are individuals. The same is true in Southern China. They look similar but they have distinct faces.  I will tell you there are as many unique faces in Chinese as there are in western cultures but you just cant see them YET.

Take a look at this. http://www.apa.org/monitor/dec00/lookalike.aspx

Ha , Zhip yes but do not forget you are looking at mainly photo shopped  faces so depending on what facial system the photo centre is using many will look similar , BUT not in real life pictures unless you are lucky , many in your age seeking group may look 15 years younger than real photo's .
 Which is why one must before losing your heart to a picture see them on QQ cam or similar and not once , but often , hair up or hair down can even make a difference .
 Also my other half has many Chinese that work for her and I have asked them about us whities and they all say we all look similar except for obvious things like facial hair , age, etc , so they have the same problem as we do , regards Sujuan and Robert .

You will soon get use to seeing them as individuals.

I found that ther are probably 5 different types of faces and most women can be put into them.

I find my self looking at women now and often thinking 'that she looks like so and so"

A large majority of women in South China are from other provinces. Where I live in Zhongshanthere is a high number of Hunan women.

Both my wife and my former girlfriend were southern ladies.  I have a strong preference for the southern girls.  My good friend here in Canada is a northern girl.  I think Northern girls are generally taller, maybe skinnier, but equally beautiful.  Like Willy, I could spend the rest of my life watching women.  That's something I'll never get tired of.

I may have not worded my question correctly.  As I was reading the answers proffered I could see where I went wrong.  I am not speaking about being able to distinguish one Chinese lady from another.  I have lived and worked with Asian people all of my career.  But I am speaking of the Beijinger women who have this distinctive look about them.  The shape of their face, facial characteristics are so similar to one another.  I find them exquisite.  I was wondering if they were Han women?

If it won't get you killed with the misses...Go to china love and put in the search engine some of these profile numbers and see what I am talking about
1. P681771       2. p2010910    3.   p2021282    4. p2021188   5. p643155

you'll get the idea.

More likely to be the hand of the Chnlove person employed to make them look too good to be true. The basic face shape will stay the same and that is one of teh shapes I spoke about previously.

I have spoken to many women who are nothing liken the picture they portray but they really do not see anything wrong in it. They want you to get to know the person behind the mask.

2hip,
I agree with Willy on this one. It is all in the taste of the person holding the airbrush.
Some are more obvious than others but I swear to you every one of the photos of these ladies has been photoshopped (heavily)

Some to the point the ladies do not even look Chinese. They have been altered to make them look more European. I doubt that you could pick the ladies from a line up using these photos.
 
We have all been here and all amazed how beautiful these ladies are. Too good to be true because they aren't. You will learn to spot them as time goes buy. The face will look unnatural even deformed in some cases.  These ladies are not real.
number 1. Her body is not natural. Her boobs are missaligned.
number 2. That is not her hair. It is painted on. Does she even look Chinese? I think she is from Italy.
number 3. does not look her age because she has been airbrushed to loose 30 years.
number 4. Those boobs are amazing aren't they. Well what old woman her age has boobs that are firm and perkey as those? Come on, they should reach her belly button by now.
Gosh this brings back bad memories. I have not been back to chnlove in over a year and this is one of the reasons why.

You probably have unused credits that you need to use but when they are gone Run away. There are other websites where the ladies are not as pretty but they are less likely to be total fakes.

Boy Gerry , number four(4) made my Monitor bulge outward . I think for those you need an extra Visa to import those Home . Sad to say , that some will actually fall for those kind Pictures and upon Meeting will only find both of them have somewhat deflated parts .. haha .

BTW.
Yes I know willy is gonna go ga-ga tomorrow morning when he sees those.


Back when I was looking for my other half I was kind of sweet on number 2 (45 year old sweet looking) As good as she looks she must be a real Bit*h to not have landed a husband in over 2 years of trying. Then of course she may be a completly fabricated profit center for the agency and they would go brok without her in the stable.

number 3 is 58 years old. AMAZING
number 4 is 45 years old. Ther are several more photos of her with much smaller boobs. hmmmmm
number 5 will be 50 years old in two months.  hmmm again.

[Jason B]

yep number 4 must be wearing a wonder bra, take it off and you wonder where it all went.............

[2hip]

You guys are slaying me...smile...Yes, I get the general idea of the photoshop effect.  Thanks, I need a nap now to get rid of my disillusionment. 

[shaun]

Yea but they won't be hanging around her knee caps or pointing to the ground either. I wonder if they could photo shop me every morning before I leave the house.

Gerry, I hate to say it bud but you need to get back to China.   The window shopping will kill you.

Shaun,
I am headed back Jan 1. I miss her terribly but i just had to get away for a while.  You know I have been back for nearly a month and still have not closed on my house. The people at Bank of America must have more business than they can handle they have been delays after delays because of the bank. I'll get the house and get moved in about the time I head back to China. I wanted to get it at least furnished and ready to live in before I brought her to America.

BTW when are you headed back over?
