AA MEN SEEK OUT NON-ASIAN WOMEN
(Updated Wednesday, Jan 22, 2025, 06:38:55 AM)

sian women are only interested in non-Asian men and don't give Asian men the time of day. That's the reason cited by many AA men for dating and marrying non-Asians. A minority of AA men say they simply find non-Asian women more physically attractive or more appealing in terms of personality, values and interests. Whatever the reasons, the rates at which young Asian men are dating and marrying non-Asian women are quickly approaching the rates at which Asian women are outdating and outmarrying (about 38%). Some Asian women are complaining that they aren't getting a fair shake because Asian men have been brainwashed by media standards of desirability.

     What are the real reasons for so many Asian men seeking out non-Asian women? How do Asian women really feel about this trend? Who benefits most from it? Will the trend continue? We want to hear your views.

WHAT YOU SAY

Ohhhhhhh Repost, tell it to the Dictionary people where it came from...tsk tsk....I know your only joking with me..but I just want to be sure that you DO know there is a difference between women who have a "fetish" for Asian men,

And women who do not, but are married/in relationships with Asian men for the reasons of love, attraction, such as myself, and many posters here that I have email friendships with that are WF/AM and AF/WM.

I say this because I DO know of a girl in Florida who does have an actual fetish for Asian men, and she is very creepy, as she thinks of Asian men solely in a sexual manner. I find it disrespectful and on the same level as the discussion where Asian women voice their distaste about white men that only look at them as "exotic sexual creatures". That is horribly disrespectful.

Now now... lets get back to topic and quit this teasing. Enough of this fetish talk....my grandmother would have called all of this "smut talk". We are women that have love and attraction to our husbands...NOT a fetish. No more smut talk! Behave yourself Repost! :)

R.Chen,

Because if you are a Black or Asian woman then that is probably the reason for your bitchy behavior on the bus. Black and Asian women tend to bitch and complain alot about everything. Making excuses for their troubles, and they are always the first to cry racism. Its one of the oldest excuses in the book. Since you refuse to reveal what race you are, I will just assume your probably a Black or Asian woman.

Blondes, Brunettes, and Redheads are equally beautiful. Any man who does not admit that is dishonest.

Have you ever seen a Redhead from Scotland or Ireland? Super beautiful!

I just go crazy with beautiful hair. I don't care if it's blonde, brunette nor Red.

Generally, I too find it easier to talk with girls of Middle Eastern, Hindhu backgrounds. Often, they grew up in the same settings, environments and circumstances as Asian Americans.

I can relate better with them than women of other races.

"I think a lot of Asian guys underestimate their attractiveness to women. Most Asian guys are convinced that white women aren't interested in them at all."

S.U.A.G., what a tragedy! I can't believe that so many Asian guys don't realize how attractive they are, or how much they have to offer a girl. On the flip side, we white women (and maybe other non-asian women) wonder if you'd ever be interested in dating us.

Repost, your assessment of the gender divide is interesting. I always read the AA Gender Divide board, and it seems like most of the posts are complaints from AM about AF "selling out" by dating WM. I don't know if or how Asians differentiate between "selling out" and dating/marrying outside one's race. For some they seem to be the same thing.

I think it's a pretty normal human reaction that if you have a bad experience with something, you think that all of that something is bad and vow never to deal with it again. Some women will have a spell of dating loser men and then decide that "all men suck" and vow to remain celibate. It's far too easy to make these types of generalizations, it's much harder, but more realistic to say "Well this guy was a jerk, but I'm sure that every single guy in the world can't be a jerk".

Kyopo,

I went on a blind date once with a Persian-American girl I met online. It was fun, and she was so beautiful that looking at her melts me. I wanted more. She wasn't ready for marriage yet.

In my history, there is a history of mixing with Middle Eastern women. Our emperors did it, so the tradition carries. When I came to the USA to see for myself, it is indeed true. Our Tang emperors knew who the best were.

I get more looks at a "falafel and kebab" restaurant more than I do at Taco or Soul Food restaurants. That's for sure in my experiences.

I have once joined a dating and marriage site on the Internet. I have chatted with women of all races online. It is only the Persian, Serbian, Arab and Hayastan (Armenian) women who complimented me for good looks. Jackie Chan is an icon in many of the Middle Eastern countries and he is considered good looking there (unlike in USA). Actually, there was this one Persian girl (Zeinab) I talked to who said Jackie Chan looks no different from many of the Persian men. And, she said that I looked much more handsome than jackie chan himself. She told me that 2 of her roommates were in her bedroom when they caught a glimpse of my photo. They then got excited and asked her if I was married or not? In fact, she got her father to send me a free invitation to visit her in her hometown city (Isfahan) in Iran.

Muslim women are taught at an early age to suppress their sexuality. I am really flattered when they find me attractive.

I rather eat kabob with rice everyday, rather than tacos, tamales and fried chicken.

kyofo (whatever that means),

I don't know what nationality you are, but in Chicago, Detroit, L.A. I have seen from time to time, Chinese dudes with Arab and Persian chicks. Not that much but it is there.

I was once divorced from an Armenian born and raised in Moscow, FYI. Due more to finances and cultural barriers more than anything else. Even now, her sister still writes me from Yerevan, Armenia. I can have my choice over there as well as in neighboring Iran (where tons of girls have asked to be my penpal from seeing my photo).

I have also been to Tashkent, Uzbekistan and both the locals and Russians mistaken me for either Uzbek or Tajik. I am just 100% Chinese. They spoke to me in Uzbek, and I used my limited Turkish to communicate. But, the locals can easily tell apart the Koreans (by looks). Hey, maybe that is why Middle Eastern girls gave me the looks?
