Oh my GOOOOOOD! I read this list and fell to the floor laughing because...it's...true. Damn. You have it all figured out. I need to print this out and give it to my boyfriend. (Okay just the top half, but still. ^_^)

Oh the wisdom you do have indeed.

I am a 21 yr old white American guy and I find Japanese females are extremely beautiful, modest, kind and hospitable people. I also think very highly of Japanese guys, who seem to be very interesting and intelligent. Although I may not speak for all white males, I personally think of Japanese culture as the epitome of what civilization should be, inventive, graceful and harmonious. If any of my appraisals are incorrect, please correct me........ but I simply cannot get enough of Japanese culture, especially the food ;)

To Wisdom comes with...um, Age: that was a great post concerning what women and men mean and say. Like all great humor, there must be truth to it for it to work.

A few gems...

1.

If a lady says "no", she means "maybe".
If a lady says "maybe", she means "yes".
If a lady says "yes", she's no lady.

2. "Women sell a false appearance, men buy them with false promises".

Unfortuantely, I think Asian romances never really start, unless it happens out of circumstance or by reccomendations (peers, etc.). The pick-up approach (not just looking for a shag, but a sincere pickup)never works with them, and that often blows-up in your fae, b/c Asian girls are so distrustful of men, even their own men. I usually end up seeing non-Asians, because AFs are so unresponsive, and if they are, they are responsive in the bad way.

To Jay:

Okay man , what you just posted was real stupid. Do you even know what your talking about man? Can I ask you are you heterosexual or homosexual?

As for Is it a myth: Yes most males are naturally attracted to Bigger *Breast ,Arse* On women. It has something to do with breeding.

i don't like fat girls...when they come on to me. i give them jenny craig coupons..hey, maybe they'll look good in a few months

Is it a myth?

I have no idea where you got the notion of having sex with a bigger sized woman derives more sexual satisfaction and pleasure. Fat assed women are absolutely disgusting!

P.S. Are you a Black guy or some �little� Asian guy who likes bigger women?

P.S. #2 Maybe fat girls are just more horny (from what my cousin told me) but I hella wouldn't go near a fat girl, esp. if she had big legs and a fat ass... HELL NO! Girls that are too tall look like guys/dinosaurs. LOL!
As for breasts... too big = disproportionate/awkward looking

Jay� no fat asses for me Sunday, August 19, 2001 at 20:32:07 (PDT)

Does sex with a bigger sized woman (height, breasts, legs, arse) derive more sexual satisfaction and pleasure?

Princess:

While it is true that some WMs out there look at Japanese Females based upon stereotypes brought on by "Shogun", various Anime shows (i.e. Tenchi Muyo) and so forth, most of us take Japanese and other AFs at face value. Some are nice, some are bitchy. Some are pretty, some are ugly.

You need to figure out if this White guy likes you for you and NOT for your ethnicity. The bottom line is that you date a PERSON and NOT AN ETHNICITY!
