what cities have it more?

I live in CA and I have to say that I'm seeing it more. But perhaps it's because before I was in a mixed relationship, I didn't really pay too much attention to it. But I am seeing this pairing more and more. That's good b/c then it makes it more comfortable for the others when they see couples like them.

Thick and fat are 2 different things. when someone says that they are thick that means they got meat on there bones but they aint fat nor are they skinny. they are right in the middle.

I find that I have a serious interest in asian men no matter what type of build they are. I find that alot of asian guy are just scared to talk to black women because they are afraid they may get rejected, but that's just my opinion. I find the i'm stired at by asian men but they never seem to talk to me. I wish they would. I guess if you don't try then you will never know. I wish that things weren't so close with the two cultures because i really would like to be with an asian man.
In love with asian men creamy623    Friday, December 13, 2002 at 16:48:33 (PST)    [205.188.209.112]
Farah,

I am now living in Fort Knox Ky, in the Radcliffe area. I have lived in Atlanta, NYC, Chicago and Seattle before. I didn't realize that Washington DC and Virginia were so diverse! Wow! I have never been there before. That sounds really cool!
Have you noticed any cultural similarities as well as the differences with your new husband? I have noticed that the food my boyfriend cooks and also other things such as sayings etc are a bit similar to our culture. Of course like the food is prepared differently and some of the spices vary differently. But for instance I notice like there is a plant(in which I am not sure how to spell it in english) they cook and it reminds me of greens (once again..of course it is prepared differently) and some of the cooked pork with the spicy sauces(hot sauces etc) Its just interesting and I noticed that recently when he made dinner for my mom sister. Its really interesting!

What Cities have it more,

I think the Virginia, DC and Maryland areas have more, just my opinion. As of December 6 my now husband and I got married so thats one more unusal couple for this area, he is Chinese. But the Virginia area has a very strong Korean and Vietnamese community, and it surprised me how many Korean men had either Black girlfriends or wives.

Where do you live?

Living in Seattle I have seen only one AM/BF couple but I have only been here a few months and we live in a mainly white area. I think there isn't as many b/c it isn't usually thought of as an option. I know that if I hadn't gone to a small school I wouldn't be with the guy that I with mostly b/c I didn't think asian guys were attracted to girls like me.

I'd rather not be subjected to the dislike of their family. I have been there too many times. Bigotry needs to be addressed and sterotypes ignored.

I have a question for everyone. What cities do you think actually have the most AM/BW couples? I know for a given fact that NYC hardly has any whatsoever. I didn't see any in Chicago. In seattle it was rare. Some say the Virginia does, and Cali. Is this true? Does anyone really know? On the military base here I see tons of BM soldiers with Korean wives. I also see some LM with Korean or Filipina wives. On the other hand, off military base? I see absolutely not even one AM/BW couple.

Hey Cassandra,
I made a post similar to yours but I think the editors may have deleted it. I was asking almost the same exact question. I have seen plenty of asian/black relationships here. Its mostly on the military base, and it always consists of black men/asian women. Especially if you go to the PX, thats the most commonly seen interracial relationships here. It is very rare to see asian men/black women relationships. Even in the bigger cities its not a very common everyday thing to see. I have heard alot of people say that California is more open to these relationships. But Chicago and NY? They are diverse, but not THAT diverse. My boyfriend and I were trying to scope out couples like us, and did not see even one. The closest thing we saw were a goodlooking couple, he was asian and she could have easily passed for either hispanic or black/white mixed. We all ran into each other at a museum, and gave each other a smile and wave. It was kinda weird! LOL

I have found that I have serious interest in asian men like actor Jason Scott Lee from the Jungle Book. The man is sexy!!! But seriously I don't find alot of mixed asian/black relationships why is that? Can someone explain this to me?

Russell Wong was very goodlooking and suave in "The Joy Luck Club" as the mean jerk husband.

Ray,

You missed my point. I wasn't advocating making fun of skinny people or those desiring to be such (as long as they are doing it in a healthy way). And when I made the statement about skinny men as not being a desirable masculine trait, I didn't mean it in a derogatory way -- in fact most of my bfs have been skinny. What I was trying to say that in this culture & society men who are skinny are not seen as being as manly as men who are muscular, just like women who are fat (or have thick bodies) are not seen as being as womanly as those who are 100 pounds or less. Both stereotypes are WRONG. And, if men are judged as being a certain way based on their looks, then they shouldn't judge women either. That's what I'm trying to say.

Again, there is nothing wrong with being skinny, or desiring a skinny woman, or one wanting to be skinny themselves. It only becomes a problem if they think every other human should be this way. And you make a good point too... skinny people shouldn't be made fun of by thick or fat people (although women are praised more for their skinny bodies then men). And going from this view, I would say the thick or fat people who would degrade someone because they are skinny are also ignorant and immature. Body size is irrelavant to me -- anybody that degrades anyone on the basis of their appearance really is being ignorant and immature. It is my opinion the way someone physically looks doesn't affect me personally, unless of course I am interested in a romantic relationship with them. Other then this, people should keep their mouth shut. If a man doesn't want to date a fat woman, don't date her..... he (as some men have done on this forum and others) doesn't have to make derogatory comments about her big ass, rolls on the belly, or whatever. If a woman doesn't want to date a skinny man, don't date him... she doesn't have to make derogatory comments about him. The point is, one isn't obligated to like a certain body type, but they should have enough class to keep their negative opinion to themselves. I am more forgiving on an online forum, but being made fun of in real life on this issue (especially when I never really even saw myself as fat before that incident) I am more inclined to speak out especially on the end of the thick, voluptuous, fat, whatever women.

So in conclusion the terms 'ignorant and immature' are the only two descriptive terms I have for individuals of this ilk, whether they are fat people making fun of skinny people, or skinny people making fun of fat people. Bascially anybody making fun of anybody in a way to ensure another person will hear and get hurt would meet this description.

Green,

I agree. No matter what the race the man I dated, I've always gone for the exotic. For a long time I've bragged that I have no preferences because of the different races I dated, even physical differences among the races. But low and behold, I do have a preference: He's got to look exotic. I can't have it any other way.

Even for Asian guys, some people think just because they're Asian, they're exotic. That is not the case for me. Even among AM, I have a "look" that I like. My ideal AM is Rick Yune. Just saw him in the James Bond movie and was upset that he had to wear that ridiculous make up for almost the entire movie! Does anyone know how tall he is?

Another Voice,
Whoopie Goldberg does have black features, because she is black. North African people historically have mixed blood, such as arabic.There is no problem with that, i am secure enough with my race and self to not take any such comment persaonally, I know I do not look like Whoopie Goldberg but I know I am black.

Some black females such as tyra banks and such have more european features, but are still black.

The facial features of one individual cannot be considered the same for all not all azn men look like JC how can they?, If I had said any other chinese/azn person you would have still jumped on my case because I think you want someone to argue with, the fact that you continuously harp on the one thing that I mentioned and not aknowldeged any thing else I said justifies my point. I also said that I am aware that Jackie Chan is not the Brad Pitt to azn people(at all). He was name that came to mind, I think that obviously YOU have some issues of your own. Move on. If I say he's attractive I get blasted and If I do not defend "short and Goofy" I get blasted. I really have no care for this issue anymore.

I think you are more offended because I said chinese/azm men were not my preference. I am not speaking for all BF just myself.I have love for all don't get upset. The whole point of this site is bf showing their appreciation for all types of azn men and vice versa.Later.

Seriously, more Hot looking Asian guys (like Rick Yune, etc) should be going for African-American/Biracial women (like myself! :D)
