**A humble request:** Can you all please ship your surplus sexy Asian men to me over here, please? We seem to be running low over here. I’m at school right now, and I haven’t seen anything exciting all day. Please? I could really use a thrill. Thanks. BTW this thread isn’t very Pit-ish. Let’s start cursing, people! 😃 [sub]Okay, okay, fine, I’ll go back to work now… ---

I’m about as fair-skinned as they come, but for whatever reason, have always been quite attracted to Asian culture, and men, since I was a wee one. This has developed to the point that I am most attracted to Tibetan Buddhism. In that light, who knows what karma is goin’ on? On a purely physical basis, I find Asian eyes most beautiful, and, then, since I’m small, really appreciate the “normal” size of Asian guys. I’d like to add, I think Tiger Woods, with an Asian mother, and African American dad, is one of the most swooningly beautiful men on the planet. Yuuuuummmmmyyyyy! And KKB, you are most swooningly lovely, too! ---

Do not fucking imagine them as such, do not treat them as such, or you are going to get your ass kicked nine ways from Sunday (more likely than not, by girl in question). \*\* HEY!

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kaps \* > \*\*HEY! Not all Vietnamese girls are prostitutes, either ya know. \*\* I know, and I apologize. I misspoke. And me, an English major; I can see them coming to take away my union card now. What I meant to say is that many caucasian men (of the stereotypical “frat boy” variety) tend to act as if they view Asian women in general to be like the Vietnamese prostitutes portrayed, in the movie Full Metal Jacket. Neither my citing the example, nor the movie itself, should be taken to mean that Vietnamese women - or any given group of women - should be considered to be prostitutes, any more so than they should all be considered snipers (even if that’s what it feels like sometimes). Furthermore, of all the Vietnamese girls whom I have been lucky enough to become friends with, pretty much all of them were smart, kind, wonderful people with unimpeachable moral character. I even had a mad crush on one of them, but we won’t get into that. 🙂 \ ---

Asian men aren’t sexy to other races because everybody tends to think in terms of their own race. It’s what they know from childhood, so others aren’t even considered in the running. Just habit of thinking, not racism. ---

> [@](#): > > Asian men aren’t sexy to other races because everybody tends to think in terms of their own race. It’s what they know from childhood, so others aren’t even considered in the running. Just habit of thinking, not racism. Wrong. I find all sorts of women (and yes, some men) attractive, regardless of skin color. Re-read the OP–it’s lamenting the image Asian men (don’t) have in the media. ---

There’s lots of asian men in the media here, but they are on the 3 asian channels. ---

😃 Thanks, ricepad. That’s more like it! BTW, for those of you who have admired KKBattousai, the story going around on e-mail lately is that in addition to his intelligence, sweetness, and boyish good looks, he also has a nice ass. ::fleeing:: ---

I was _trying_ to keep that a secret, thank you very much. You _know_ how much trouble I’ve had keeping up with all my loves. I mean, when each session of loving lasts hours and hours, it’s difficult to make the time. So, yeah, you’d better keep fleeing. For though I hate seeing you go, I love watching you leave. 😉 ---

Hi, **HomeSlice**! \ Which half? 😃 \ **KKB** – Gee, thanks. Methinks the dopers who have professed admiration for you should have proof of your fine-assedness.
