Chinese Babies

[xstitcher]

I was just reading an article about Chinese babies in the DM and it made me think. There is something about them that makes them look extra sweet and I don't know what it is.

When I am in Spain, sitting at a sidewalk café I see so many parents go by with their babies in push chairs and nobody gives the babies a second glance but let the Chinese café owner take his baby boy for a walk and he can't get more than 2 steps away before he is bombarded by people admiring the little boy and this would include me (admiring at a distance)

What is it with Chinese babies?

The look different and it is a change from the endless "oodling" at the boring features of Western babies.........as they all look the same.

I bet if you were sitting in a similar cafe in China and a Western cafe owner took his baby for a walk, the Chinese women would be ultra interested.

Perhaps they would but I do know that the Chinese don't consider us to be a good looking race.....our noses are very big in their estimation.

I find most babies cute.

Maybe its the chubby cheekiness ? Who knows?!

Babies don't really do it for me in a broodie *** coo sense although I have no aversion to parental matters (nappies, feeding etc), but by and large they do all look the same. Children only get interesting to me when they can walk, engage in conversation (however basic they need to be to drop to my level) and laugh at my jokes.

coochee coo ?

[ummmm]

It's probably a girl thing finding babies cute. They don't make me broody though especially now I know how much they cost!!

good question, people mostly find babies cute because of big Bambi eyes (I think eyes are full size at birth), but this is less noticeable with Chinese babies. It may be just because they look different.

I have a friend who took her daughter to China when she was a toddler. She (toddler) is blonde with blue eyes and they used to get mobbed and treated like film stars because of the baby.

they were probably planning to gouge her eyes out, woofgang.

babies irritate me, they're not cute, they're annoying

you wait till you find one under your gooseberry bush, fluff

[ummmm]

Woof....same used to happen with my son. I took him to Disneyland Paris and he used to get mobbed. One time he was crawling in the hotel foyer and within minutes he was surrounded by women in Burkas. We had, I assumed, Japanese, people asking could they take his picture....

It was very strange...

Blonde hair, blue eyes.

All babies look like Winston Churchill.

One exception was my youngest, who looked like Gollum

Babies, Chinese or otherwise ...

The planet's not big enough ...

Your bank balance is not big enough ...

And your front bum's not big enough.

Just saying.

I think jno is right about the eyes thing.

Men are subconsciously attracted to women with baby eyes because it triggers some sort of protective instinct. Men are drawn to them in the way that a father is drawn to a baby. Although that doesn't really explain why they want to have sex with them. The logic breaks down a bit there.
