Asian Girls and White Guys?

[Q Classic]

of course. until recently, east asia was a strongly patriarchal society. it takes time for change to be accepted, you know.

So what's considered 'attractive" among Koreans ? Is there different standards?

Locals prefer a more "western" look (e.g. round eyes with creases) whereas westerners who appreciate Asians often prefer those with looks that most embody their racial characteristics (e.g. narrow, creaseless slanted eyes, prominent cheekbones, etc).

It sorta works both ways. A lot of those western guys scoring those "ugly " Asian chicks aren't exactly prime dating material back home. Again, same goes for gay community.

It still is patriachal. Change is slow.

perhaps. it's a good deal less patriarchal these days, particularly in the urbanized areas.

I think Asian women who hook up with white guys in the US often compare Asian American men to white men. So even if Asian Americans are less patriachal then they used to be they are still more so than many white men.

I hope the Asian men don't take this the wrong way, but some of the Asian women that prefer white men say that Asian men are oppresive in a way.

Those who like white guys typically appreciate western men treating them with respect and often - equality! They enjoy western men's superior romantic skills (not to mention love-making skills...). Some think western males are irresistably sexy. And of course some are simply interested in his big, hard wallet (or the visa lurking inside it).

And again, this all (except re visa) equally applies to the dynamics of the gay community.

Coincidentally, a friend of mine just wrote a well-received book on this topic, so I've been reading and talking about it a lot lately.

Not quite rumors - I have been conducting intensive research into the dating and mating habits of the mainland Chinese male.
Results: I think I'm going to have to conduct a nation-wide series of crash-course seminars in l'art d'amour.

As for Chinese women, they seem much better off in the romance department, however I have substantially less experience in this area.

My gf is Chinese, and she's not psycho.

Good luck Snoopy.

And before you argue, I think the popularity of somebody as plain as Lucy Liu is evidence enough.

While I agree with you, you still do sound upset

hard to tell which ones suffer from it and which ones don't at the beginning of anything...
