Oh yeah–not to leave anyone out, I also used to go out with a Bahrainian woman, an East Indian woman, and an American Indian woman (not all at once, darn it). It’s the dark hair and dark eyes that do it for me. Not that there’s anything wrong with blondes, you understand. (And the ex MrsO is a redhead.)
Here in Melbourne there is quite a large Asian population as well. I’ve also noticed that Asian girl/non-Asian guy pairings are much more common than the other way around - my boyfriend is non-Asian and I’ve only ever dated non-Asian guys.
Heh, my boyfriend is reading this thread.
Boyfriend: Are you proud to be an Asian girl?
Me: I don’t really care I guess.
Boyfriend: But everybody wants you!
Me: No they don’t!
Boyfriend: Yes they do. You’re a very desirable woman.
I’m Asian and I’ve dated white men. I like 'em, although at the time, I never thought, “oh I’m Asian, and he’s WHITE”. I just went 'cause I thought, “ooh, smart, funny, and sexy!” Which is what I require of my men, no matter what race.
Ummm, a few of them, have said that my “exotic” looks is what got them. 
I must add that I’ve been in chat rooms where I have seen idiots spouting off " ALL Asian chicks are fucking ugly", “I’ve heard they squeal like pigs when having sex” and blah de blah.
So whatever. Not EVERYONE thinks we are ideal.
I wouldn’t kick Chow Yung Fat out of bed, and I’m a white girl.
Me too.
My wife is 100% Chinese (from Hong Kong). I’m really not sure what her parents thought about her marrying a “white guy.” But I do have a suspicion… about 4 months before we got married, her parents floated the idea of me paying them a dowry. I am not making this up. “Um, how much are we talking about, here?” I asked. “$14,000 U.S. dollars.”
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Needless to say, I was floored. I told my wife-to-be that there was no way in hell I was going to pay money to her parents for the “privilege” of marrying their daughter. Besides, I didn’t even have 14,000! Well to make a long story short, I (obviously) did not pay them the !@#% dowry. They flew here (to the U.S.) to attend the wedding anyway.
That was 6 years ago. Her parents now reside in New Zealand, so I’m not complaining. (Crafter_Man’s Domestic tranquility Tip #101: Live halfway around the world from your in-laws. ;))
I suspect for a lot of white men, the attraction to Asian women has to do more with their perception of what Asian women are like than the physical appearance of Asian women.
A dear friend of mine is often mistaken for an Indian or Filipina, and is often approached by men who are attracted to her “exotic beauty”. She tells me that these men usually suddenly loose interest the moment they discover that she’s not Asian at all, but a very light-skinned, straight-haired African-American. She has literally had men stop talking to her and walk away.
My Caucasian/Amerind wife has a couple of celebrity crushes on Asian men: FoodTV chef Ming Tsai, Vanishing Son’s Russell Wong, and Daniel Dae Kim (sleazy Wolfram & Hart lawyer Gavin Park on UPN’s Angel).
I had forgotten this, but you’ve reminded me – Dean Cain is 1/4 Japanese. So that means that A LOT of white girls I’ve known had a “thing” for a partially-Asian man.
Alas??
Count your blessings, woman, for you have married a Clog Boy! Seriously, life doesn’t GET any better than that.
Hey Turpentine, what if the woman was blond? Remember gentlemen prefer blonds. Like that’s normal? So, what’s wrong with being physically attracted to Asians? I for one am fucking sick of hearing that I must be some sort of freak cause I’m attracted to Asian women.
The next thing I always hear is she must be dumb as a soap dish.
Then I hear you must like submissive women.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Shows an amazing depth of pure ignorance if someone says that Asian women are submissive. If you don’t believe me, marry one and you’ll soon find out.
I hate to generallize about all Asian women as if they were one homogeneous group with a shared culture and language, because nothing could be further from the truth. But, I am certainly attracted to Asian women and have been since I first started noticing girls in California. I’ve also had blonde and brunette and redheaded girlfriends. In addition, being as how I’m into Asian culture and speak two Asian languages, yep there is something about many Asian women on both a mental and physical level that attracts me like a tractor beam.
I have a few western female friends that are totally into western guys. Why is this a problem for anyone? Having a thing for redheads is perfectly normal, professing a physical attraction for Tibetan women is a perversion. I’ve been hearing these lines and many more for 25 years.
BTW, my wife is Mainland Chinese. I get along great with her father. I’m not so hot on her mother. Neither parent could care less that I was a white guy when we got married, nor has it ever been an issue since then.
After reading everything and based on experience, I believe that the media has a lot to do with why there are more Asian female/White male couples.
Amongst my friends, I like to call it the “Vietnam war” syndrome. I guess I watched Full Metal Jacket too many times…
Yes, you are. But please don’t start another thread on it.
Import a white girl, I suppose. 
They’re supposed to be submissive:confused: Wish someone would inform my wife of this.
Hahahaahaaaa…!
Being ex-Navy, I’ve got loads of buddies with Asian wives (mostly Philippinas), and man! You ever want to see a man lose control of his house, look what happens when a Westerner marries a tradition-minded Asian woman. Sure, he’s ‘king of the house’, but it’s a figure-head role only. All decisions are hers.
That’s exactly the kind of guy you DON’T want. I don’t consider Asian girls/women “exotic” at all, having far more direct contact with them than white girls/women. They are just on average better looking.
This one is way too easy. WINKY EMOTICON
I meant to say, I have a few western female friends that are totally into Asian guys. A couple are really attracted to Zhang Yimou, the actor and director (Farewell to my Concubine, Red Sorgum, The Old Well, etc).
They certainly are much more in a minority.
If you look at Asian language classes, at least when I was studying, there were more white males that white females.
That’s how I feel too. My preference for Asian women has nothing to do with exotica. I think they simply look good. 
Sydney has a massive Asian population (a WAG would be about 30 - 40 % ), and in my suburb, the population is probably closer to about 50 or 60 % Asian. It’s a very multicultural city, so there’s not much which I could consider exotic (we’ve also got lots of Greeks, Italians, Lebanese, South Americans, Indians, Islanders, and just about anything else you could think of). My workplace reflects this mix too, so I’ve been deeply immersed in Asian culture 24 / 7 for the past twelve years.
A black American woman would probably be considered exotic here (actually the ones I’ve met are beating guys back with a stick). Heck, a white American woman would be considered exotic outside the tourist areas - Australian blokes are suckers for the accent.
Well, according to JThunder, I’m odd. And so are the 500 or so other Western women that I know of who have married Japanese guys (and that’s just those I know, and that’s only Japanese men).
China Guy, in all the Asian Studies classes I’ve been in, white women outnumber the white guys by a large majority. YMMV.
I don’t have a thing for Asian guys. I have a thing for guys who are good looking, who are funny, who treat me and others with respect. I didn’t marry my husband because he’s Japanese, I married him because he asked me and I love him. His being Japanese is totally incidental.
Going on what I’ve read in this thread, it seems that guys grow to like a type of girl and then don’t vary from that. I know that’s not exactly TRUE but read through this thread and that’s the impression that’s given out. Whereas women (and I’m going on my feelings and what my women friends have told me) go more on what the individual guy has going for him. Again, YMMV.
To finish, Mr isn’t effeminate in the least. Yeah, he’s short, but man is he built! And he fills out his underwear very nicely, thankyou.
