I think HS female R fine as hell, but also feel dat some HS female won't give an asian guy a chance. I don't understand why, a asian guy can be good 2 them just like any other guy of a differ race as long as he know how 2 treat a lady right. Hell I know a HS female whos first luv was an asian guy,so before U HS female start thinkin stuff like dat get 2 know one. Also why don't U walk up 2 us.
As a AM I'm just wonderin what da f**k U HS female trippin on. First of all we all said U ladies R beautiful, instead of takim it as a complement U take it da wrong way. True some of us R blind to what a HS female look like but point is we still think U ladies R beautiful. I have HS female friends and I see them the same way as I look at a asian female, some R attractive some R not.
Dear Pinoy Guy,
Thank you for clarifying your post. I read a great post by someone here regarding the fact that we (as Latinos) are NOT a race, but a mixture of various races. Which is why I suppose I get the reaction I do when someone hears me speaking Spanish. I supposed you're probably around the Cali area or the Southwest where most of the Latinas are of either Mexican or Central American descent (that's why you see those dark features that you so like :)) However, in my country (Uruguay) blond is the norm so to me that's the normal, typical look. Just goes to show ya, you never can tell. :):) --Rubia/22
Dear Blond, blue-eyed Latina,
I'm sorry that you feel insulted by my remarks. It was not my intention to be stereotypical and most especially racist in describing the physical characteristics of a typical Latina/Hispanic person. I was merely expressing my appreciation of the good qualities of most of the Latin people I have the good fortune of meeting. I'm not assuming that all Latinas have raven black hair and olive/tan/fair skin. It's just that most of the latin men & women I got to meet has those characteristics, that's all. No racist intentions there. Again, my apologies........ --Pinoy guy
O.k., time for World History 101 here. First of all, this poll should NOT be here. It assumes that Hispanic is some sort of distinct race of people, when in actuality it is not. Spain (and the people from Spain) are Caucasian like their French, Portuguese counterparts. When the Spaniards starting colonizing the "New World" (I used quotes because the Americas was not new to the Indigenous people that inhabited it, only the Europeans) there was of course, a lot of race mixing as is inevitable. You will find that in countries that had strong indigenous cultures (like Incas, Aztecs, etc. -- Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala- Most Central America) the people there are still darker and have indigenous facial traits because of the race mixing. However, in other countries like Cuba, Puerto Rico, (the few native people there were killed off and Africans brought in for Labor) hence, many Cubans and P.R. are either White or Mulatos, mixed w/Blacks). As for part of South America like Argentina and Uruguay, people there tend to be white because they were colonized by Spaniards, British, Germans, Jews, etc. And especially in Uruguay, the native people were basically killed off, they did not get a chance to mix with the European population. So you can see from this brief synopsis that being "Latin" is NOT a race of people. That's why you can find blond Latinos, black Latinos, Asian Latinos and so forth.
I'm glad to hear of an asian guy dating women of Latin descent. I wasn't sure if that was possible myself since I live in the southeast and such an idea would never be considered. At least that's what I think.
I have been with Latin Women in LA and around the world. I prefer to use Latin, whether they are Hispanic, Italian, they are beautiful. I like how they look, and move. I do agree that some of the feedback is stereotyping them just like they stereotype us. Hey, everyone does it. Most latin women that I have been with say that they had never been with an Asian before, that they never really considered being with an Asian. They realized that once they got to know me that it really opened their eyes. Hey guys, just because the narrowed minded ones treat you badly, do not count out a whole group. Don't be just like the narrow thinkers. Be brave, open your mind, once I started dating latinas, I realized that they have alot of things in common with us. Especially, Mexicans, El Salvadorians, Guatemalans (hope I spelled it right), Nicaraguans etc. They people took just as much shit as us. Remember Laotian guy, the Spaniards made up that song not South Americans. Just like we're all Chinese, they all get call Mexicans. Do some research, especially Cal history, our peoples took similar shit. In the next 20 years or so, Cal is going mostly Latins and Asians, I willing we will see alot of mixing of couples.
Hey Pinoy guy, I'm a blond, blue-eyed Latina. Fully Latina too from BOTH sides (my mother is from Spain and my father is from Uruguay) both of them are also blond -- language I speak at home: Spanish. Music I dance too: Flamenco, Salsa, Merengue, Candombe and Samba. I'm insulted that you would assume that all Latinas have raven black hair and olive skin. It's not only stereotypical, but racist on your part. Shame on you.

Jay,
I'm sorry about your experiences with the Mexican community, but you'll find that these types of racial remarks are VERY common among Hispanics. In fact, most Hispanics (regardless of where they are from, Cuba, PR, Mexico, whatever) make it a point to distinguish among racial groups. You will find that there are black hispanics, asian hispanics, indian hispanics, white hispanics and so forth, because as has been stated by a couple of people already, being hispanic is an ethnicity, NOT a race. What happens is that because they are such a mixed group of people, they tend to classify their differences. Its very common to hear them refer to Asians as "chinitos" or "chinitas" and blacks as "negro" and so forth. I've heard it with my own ears. And they also have a strict hierarchy within their culture of the "whiter" your ancestry the better. It's a sad, sad statement, but true nonetheless.
There are a lot of qualities of a Latin woman that men of all races fine attractive and appealing. Their strong loyalty to family, their strengh of character, their passion and confidence coupled with the right amount of modesty. They are also very nurturing, giving 100% in a relationship. Physically, who could resist the raven hair, the smooth olive/tanned/fair skin, the smoldering eyes and kissable lips. I am a Pinoy guy and I suppose there is a strong historical and cultural similarities that Filipinos and Latinos share. There is no doubt about it, Hispanic/Latina women are great!!! --Snyper / snyper@edsamail.com
This pool is so stupid. You guys are guilty of what you keep complaining about: stereotyping a group of people! You can't go around saying "All hispanic women are part Native American" what the hell kind of ignorant statement is that?! Hispanics come from ALL WALKS OF LIFE. They share a similar culture and a similar language BUT they are a heterogenous and a "potpourri" of collective peoples from all over. GET A CLUE!!!
Hispanics in LA are totally racist agasint Asians. As a child growing up, I've always had to endured "ching-chong-chong- jeers from these ignorant hispanics. I've had to endure karate motions and "chino, chinito" teasing. Or when asked what are you Chinese, Japanese, Chinese? Like there are only two countries in Asia. One time while dining in a Chinese restaurant, this Mexican family was eating and the father had his 5 year old son call the waiter to the table. But the stupid kid called the waiter "Hey chinito". Or how about that song that Latinos have made for asians.
Chino, chino, japones
Go me caca, something something.
I don't remember the exact words, but all I know is that it translates to:
Chinese, Chinese, Japanese
Go eat my shit and don't leave any for me.
Now, I have latino friends, ones that were fortunate to be educated. I asked one of my closest friends where the hell that song came from. He said that its a folk song from Spain. Can you believe that crap? Over 90% of latinos in LA know that song because their parents teach it. I could go on and on about latino discriminating against asians but thats not what this site it about. The sad thing is, I've been discriminated as being Chinese, but I'm Laotion. When I told them, I'm Laotion, they say, Chinese, japanese, same thing. I cant stop laughing when El Salvordians, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans get furious when they are called Mexicans. Well guys, same thing right?
PS: TO add to the top of "Asian Men Dating Hispanic Women" I've never seen such a thing in Los Angeles. --Jay
DUH!!! This pool shouldn't even be here because you are assuming that "Hispanic" is a race of peoples. Newsflash: IT'S NOT!! I agree with the post from that Spaniard girl that Hispanics come in ALL races. You get to see blond, blue-eyed ones, black, Asian, Indian, you name it...they're all in the mix. And FYI: Brazilian is NOT Hispanic, they don't even speak Spanish, they speak Portuguese and are of Portuguese decent. By God sheer ignorance going around here! Learn some World History to discover how these different combinations of "Hispanics" came about before talking about what they look like!!
Nothing and I mean NOTHING can replace a true Latin Lover!!! Amen to that!
Hispanic females are the most beautiful women on the face of this earth --djdmt
I am an American/Hispanic female. My family is from Spain though I was born and raised in the U.S. and what really got under my skin was all those comments about "our cute Spanish accent!" What the hell is that all about? I don't have an accent at all and neither do most of my Latin friends that were born and raised here. That's like me assuming that every Asian person can't pronounce their "R's" properly like calling "rice" "wice". I mean that's totally stereotypical and unfair and I don't think you guys would like the same treatment in return. And another thing, being Hispanic is NOT a race but an ethnicity. Hispanics can be black, white, Indian, and yes ASIAN! In fact a very good friend of my family is Cuban-Chinese and he speaks Spanish better than I do! Being Hispanic is a culture, NOT a race. Being from Spain, I am white and most people assume that I'm NOT Latina (most assume I'm Greek or Italian). Which is ridiculous because it's very hard to say which person is Latin for the sole reason that there is no "typical" Latin look. We are hybrids of many, many races that adopt the Spanish language and culture. That is all. Our race remains a totally separate issue!!! --HispanicF/22
Hispanic women = beautiful eyes, brunette, high cheekbones, sharp nose, voluptuous figures, big breasts. conclusion: hispanic women are HOT! --chinaman
I think hispanic women are as attractive as white women. I like those beautiful eyes, pretty face and sensual lips. --ASIAMAN
Hispanic women are soooooooo gorgeous. Especially the ones that are part Native American. Well, actually Hispanic people are Native American in a sense... They are FOINE anyway!!!
Hey Hispanic lady, come to California to find the best Asian men! Straight up, out of the Westside!
two words: Jessica Alba
Hispanic women, especially Brazilians and Mexicans, are like these mysterious sex goddesses sent to fulfill our wildest desires and passions. In their exotic looks, size, shape and attitudes, they're tailor-made to satisfy us AA Men. Can't keep my eyes off them.--Corean American, 31
"Asian men are hot! Asian men seem to underrate themselves on the attraction scale, usually confident in their education, status, etc., but unsure if women of other races find them physically attractive. Well, this hispanic american woman finds asian men very appealing and I would love the opportunity to get to know more asian men. I don't find hispanic men physically attractive and have never dated a man of my own ethnic background. I live in the midwest. Wish I could live where there were more beautiful, sexy asian men. Also, it seems that asians are maybe even more closed shop than hispanics when it comes to it being taboo to date or marry outside your ethnic background.
Hispanic chicks have the prettiest eyes, noses, mouths, breasts... They're also very loyal and indulgent, kinda like Asian women that way.

Asian Men's Comments on the Attraction of Hispanic Females
  • "They have the perfect blend of eastern and western features."
  • "I've met many Asian women from Latin America (or Latino-American communities) with those "sexy, Latina" accents. Many of my Asian guy friends think Latina women have the nicest curves (chest and butt), but they say that Latina women'll get obese as they age. I find the Latino-American racial community to be the most similar to the Asian-American racial community as far as all the different racial communities in America. For example, I feel an Latina girlfriend would understand my philosophies better than a white or black girlfriend, generally speaking."
  • "I just love the way they speak English with that spanish accent. I like to mock their accent too."
  • "Hipanic women look gooooood!!!!!"
  • " I find Hispanic women very attractive in that they are very family oriented, passionate and outgoing. I find their physiques very complimentary to my liking along with their natural skin tone and especially when they have the beautiful indian facial features prominent. Brazilian women are the most sensual and open I think. I enjoy fiery women because it matches my personality. I love them very much."
  • "they have beautiful faces with the cheekbones and cute noses but also have those spicy, glamorous eyes. also, they are very very NOT repressed sexually. rhymes with HOT."

    Obstacles to Relations with Hispanic Females
  • "Older Asians (read my parents) equate them with lower social status. But that hasn't stopped me from getting it on with a beautiful Hispanic girl who will become my wife."
  • "They still don't understand my thinking as well as Asian women. And, once again, Asian women, in general, have the best fashion sense... not that Latina women dress bad. Ha Ha. No, they obviously can look really great too."
  • "Do Hipanic girls want Asian dudes???"
  • "I've grown up very close to Mexican families and being traditional in that they prefer Hispanic men is good. Outside the U.S. are where Hispanic women are very approachable."

    Other Comments on Relations with Hispanic Females
  • "Learning basic spanish is the most important thing to pick up hispanic chicks. They 'd go go wild when you speak your broken spanish to impress them."

    Hispanic Women's Comments on the Attraction of Asian Males
  • "They have many of the things many Hispanic men lack: money, education and status."
  • "I am a very attractive hispanic female who loves asian men, but find they are very shy and hard to approach but I do anyways and find that they like it. If you are an asian man take the chance and approach us."

    Obstacles to Relations with Asian Males
