Wayne Chung:

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your Rice days.

I feel I will have less of a chance hooking up with the Rice women since I'm not a student there. Are there favorite hangouts for these women? How did you fare with different nationalities, such as Chinese, Korean, etc.?

Idiot-savant,

I dont really have any experiences with college girls. ever since senior year in high school ( i grad. in 2001), i always had my eyes on this one girl and when that happens, i tend to block out every other girl. my friends tell me thats something i need to stop doing.

your best chances are the the college you have been told about and the local coffee and book stores. like they said, stay away from the club girls, but one problem is, these club girls can also be those you see in college.

Hoo Hoo Hoo!

I went to the newly opened Hooter's restaurant in Stafford/Sugar Land off of 59 and Corporate yesterday. There were four really attractive Asian gals working there named Lin, Kristina, Lindsey and Diana. That's the most AFs I've seen working a single shift at Hooter's in Houston!

And once again, I saw that HCC Professor (who will remain nameless) enjoying some hot wings and being flirted at by Diana specifically--she had a nice pair, let me tell ya!!!

Idiot-savant:

There are a lot of very attractive, intelligent Asian American women who attend Rice (the Harvard of the Southwest) and have true pride in their heritage. Yeah, some of them date White or Black guys, but even so, they don't compromise on their culture.

When I was at Rice, I dated a number of those kind of women--they were very liberal in some regards. They'd insist on paying for half the check at La Strada because they were "capable of doing it for themselves" and/or they "didn't want you thinking that buying dinner was going to get you something in return later on." Oddly enough, they would want to have sex at the end of the date anyway. I loved it when I was there and still miss it. Oh well, Married life is fun too.

Good luck!

Mr. Hann:

UH is a bit far from where I am. How about St. Thomas or some of the community colleges? I ask because when I ran into some very good-looking girls in Houston, they told me they attend St. Thomas or some community college.

These days, I'm a bit too busy to hang out in college campuses to scout for co-eds, and the heat would kill me. Still, I might hear what your experiences have been with the college women. Are there some bars or clubs that these women like to hang out in?

What do you think about Rice? I've been to the Rice library and saw some good-looking women.

to they're not worth the effort:

been burned too much or something? way to lump all asian females into one huge category. i'm so glad all you asian males out there make dating sound like a f***-fest in which any decent girl is a "chick" and all others are "sluts" or "bitches". and you WONDER why you can't find any decent asian women to go out with? get a LIFE!

You better bet is to join a Asian American organization so you can network with other professionals as well as expand you social life.

Trying to pick up Asian Chicks at clubs and at resturants is a losing task. First the ones over there are probably worried you are stalking them when they eat their damn pho noodles and/or dancing with thier girlfriends to look snotty and bitching to even look at you.

It better to join any social or political organization than to try to pick these bitches up any other way. Personally alot of these Houston chicks are less then they are. Many of them feel that they are better than any other girl in the states. Thus alot of anger and resentment towards any Houstonian girl.

Your better bet is to go to state that at least have friendlier females and ones you can hang out with, instead of the excess baggage and crap they carry around.

I guess you're new to Houston. I'm used to it now. You're stuck here, what can you do?

I'm thinking about getting a season's pass to Waterworld. It's about $70 and you can go everyday. Starting mid-August, it's open on weekends only, until Labor Day.

I've not been to South Padre Island, but it's supposed to be the only decent beach in Texas, and people there are less obese than those in Houston, from what I've heard. It's about 4 hour drive from here. It might be worth checking out if you get a short vacation.

There's a waterpark called Adventure Bay in Houston, but I've never been there. It's cheaper than Waterworld for a single visit, about $20 vs $40.

Jaren,

In the past 5+ years, I "went out and got", oh, ...about 20 WF's, 4 Latinas, 2 AF's, it never took me more than 2 encounters to "get" them. I usually get them the first night. No, I've never paid for a f*** and even made some of the women pay for dates.

I'm just trying to look back to my roots and try decent AF's for more serious relationships now.
