Is it wrong to admire and like some specific's country's facial/body characteristics?

For example lets say you like a certain country (it could be anything from european,asian,middle eastern etc.) and you like to examine certain details about it like facial characteristics and stuff. But ofcourse not in the fetish way but more like in a ''xenophile'' kind of way? Like, you like everything different from you. You find certain characteristics attractive but ofcourse you don't fetishize but just admire.. Like for example a south european might be excited and interested in someone's beauty who derives from northen europe.

 

Is this ok? I just want to know.. But since i am the very romantic/artistic/musician kind of person i just feel like sticking to details A LOT but i NEVER judge, i like to find everyone beautiful in their own way and i love people in general too much(unless their behaviours are bad then nope, certainly not)

 

But i NEVER de-humanize people, i just like to see the different characteristics from each country, because almost every country is "homogenous" and each country has its own distinct looks.

 

Is it ok? I'm never too much with anything, i just need to know if what i'm doing is wrong or not?

 

 

sorry for my bad english

I don't see nothing wrong on that

I just want to know if what i'm doing is fetishization or not because i don't feel nice when i do things that are out of the norm/ok and i see people as human beings ofcourse, not as objects. Its not the sexual part i'm interested in, more like the romantic/beauty/artistic aspect of it.

You acknowledged that you don't de humanise or fetishise them so as long as you know your boundaries there should be nothing wrong with admiring beauty around the world. But also be careful to not romanticise those aspects so much that that's all you see or start to thing that everyone from a particular place looks like that and start imposing your standards on them.

nothing wrong if you don't make generalisations and expect all of them to look a certain way. I'm always impressed by people from Middle East because of their piercing eyes, it's not your average, normal eye, the colour is so powerful and the eye structure look so complex. I also enjoy the sharp noses that I see on various nationalities.

If it's not sexual, it isn't fetishization.

I don't think it's wrong but it CAN come off as slightly ignorant if you are indeed implying that one country has a certain 'look' when in any country and race there is always diversity from skin tone to facial features and bone structure (yes, even within one race. Eg. not all South Koreans have the same characteristics)
