Dating another "race"

[Q Classic]

that said, i don't have anything against interracial dating between asians and non-asians.

heck, i'm asian and dating a caucasian girl.

and by and large, i'm prepared to believe that most non-asian guys aren't fetishists. but then, hearing things like "Mmmmm... asian women....", even said humorously...

Makes you realise that someone fancied your mum?

wasn't a fetishist, not really.

i'm a pure korean... so there's no interracial dating in my family until me.

I married a Filipina because white women didn't work out for me. Now, I'm so happy I did!

[Q Classic]

and i do believe that you really do love her, else you wouldn't've married her.

plus, i've never seen you make one of those "mm... asian women" cracks.

i'm more than willing to admit that yes, i probably am quite hypersensitive to it. that doesn't change the fact, at least in my opinion, that although there's a lot of positives with interracial dating, it's the fetishists that give it all a horrid name, in particular with non-asian male+asian female dynamic.

until recently, i hadn't met another asian male+non-asian female couple in person. so i still think my type of relationship is a rarer breed.

Have you ever seen a chick from New Guinea?

I draw the line well before that.

[Lancer]

Q, much rarer breed. Many white guys have run into terrific life shattering situations with women from the US. Every time I help some poor guy meet a Filipina I have to listen to some terrible story. I don't see white women doing the same thing. So, your case is rare I believe. More power to you guy. I love asians, great folks, mostly.

how 'bout this? it perpetuates the myth that asian women--and by extension, asians in general--are "weak", demure, quiet, submissive, and/or kinky.

You're right, there's a lot of really creepy white guys who come to Asia looking for a ****-toy. I like to think I'm an exception, one of my things I like best about my Korean gf is that she's not demure/quiet/submissive (and doesn't have the slightest bit of gungju byeon / "princess disease" thank god). But then on the other hand, when I moved here I found asian girls on average less physically attractive than white girls but since then its swapped and is slowly moving in the other direction for no good reason I can discern, which is starting to creep me out a bit, I don't want to turn into one of the "Yellow Fever" guys you get around here...

Lancer:

Nice to see you back! How have things been going?

I've dated an East-Asian, and a Korean. To me colour should not matter between two people who love each other.

However, my current GF is white, and I'm quite happy with her.

That tends to be why a lot of white guys marry Asian women.

"I'm kinda like the Lucky Charms of dating"

Only without the lucky. And heck, without the charm as well...

I don't really find the very, very black skin tone all that attractive, but hey, you never know...

My wife of 38 years 10 months and 21 days is 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 Swedish. Nov. 8, 1964.
And no one and I mean no one pushes her around.

He was a gangly white boy who suffered from too nice/too romantic syndrome, which dulled any potential sexual edge, and he often cited this as the reason he could never find a girlfriend. When I would compliment him on his sweet and kind nature, he¡¦d blush and make self-effacing remarks. I remember thinking, at the time, that what he really wanted was a nice Asian girl ¡X by culture, not by race ¡X who might appreciate such qualities in a man because they were so rare in her own patriarchal family (like mine). I also remember thanking goodness he recognized I wasnt that girl.
