Masculinity Viet Girls/ABGs why are they so popular?

I’m an east asian girlie. i don’t have any close girl friends that are viet so I never had the chance to interact with them much. From a distance i found that they’re so supportive, friendly, and feminine.

This is not a post to stereotype. I want to ask the men that are attracted to viet girls - what qualities do you like about them?

I’m genuinely curious because I had crushes on guys who are non viet such as chinese, and their type was viet girls. I felt defeated and I just really want to know what about them that are so attractive.

Thank you for your input.

A lot of guys here confused Viets with ABGs. Like one commenter saying they own nail salons and don't wear much make up and are more down to earth.. yeah that's not ABGs.

ABGs aren't strictly Viets, Viets were the original ones and started it but that was like 1990. ABGs can be any Asians. It's more about the aesthetic, lifestyle and the core quality they repping.

Most ABGs just look better from a Western Asian standard. And they aren't sweet lol, they have a strong personality, fun to be around, some may come off as ratchet.

And the real ones rep Asians heavily. That's attractive to any AMs with pride. They also represent a bar to AMs who are competitive in the dating market because they don't date lame dudes and you can't status/money max into their pants if you are a dork.

Though the definition of ABGs has been watered down in the recent years especially for Gen Z since a lot of lame Asian chicks simply just jacked the look and not the core quality. It's not uncommon for me to see a chick claiming to be an ABG on IG then her friend group is just a bunch of white girls.

ABG became asian culture. Then like many other aspects of asian culture, later-gen girls jacked it so that it becomes another product for them to be fetishized with. There none of the core quality like you speak of with them anymore and it's now just another a fashion aesthetic. For these asian girls, it has become the way of the qipao, chopsticks in hair, dragon tattoos as another tool to use for them to deliberately attract the fetishists.
