To Young,
Hi how r u? Yeah, I wish to finish my studies soon. I have tons of assignments to finish. What? Getting teased by my looks? Not really.Hahaha....I bet lots of girls are getting teased by your looks too eh? What kind of men I'm looking for? Well, race doesn't matter to me though.As long as he has the qualities I want.Yeah, I do want an older guy and a guy who can teach me something new.Tall or short? I don't mind if he's shorter than me, as long as he doesn't mind I'm taller than him.Religion? Well, my parents tell me to date a Christian guy and I do agree coz it's hard to get along well if the guy I'm dating doesn't have the same faith.That's what I've discovered from my friends.But, if he's not a Christian, then I'll expect him to respect what I believe.So, that's all.lol.Hahhahah......you wanna understand women? It's hard, isn't it? lol

Kool Happa CHick:

you go girl! i think you made some excellent points. you sound like a cool girl to hang out with. i'll bet you end up with a great guy some day.

i didn't pay attention to hapa women before. but, about a year ago a cute hapa women smiled at me and then "bumped" into me as we were both getting off the bus. ever since then i always pay attention when i see a hapa.

Looks like brother Young wants to get a Malaysian-Eurasian style booty call ASAP. LOL!!!

He obviously fits 3 of the above!
Tall, hapa, and older!!!
*LOL*

BTW- since your mom's orig. from Kazakhstan, is she a Muslim?
What about your dad?
These questions are related to the religion factor.

Jay:

Watch out--if you marry another Hapa Chick, it is highly possible (25% probability each way) your kid could look totally Caucasian or totally Asian. However, most chances are (50%) that they will like Hapa like you.

Still, it would be amusing to see a Hapa mama and Hapa daddy with a cute little White boy! HEE HEE HEE!!!

Hakka chinese,
i think he put on what is called the Mao suit that was first introdcued by the Nationalist leader Dr. Sun Yat Sen (Hakka also but looks like a hapa).

Hapa Triathlete,
Put on that cheongsam so that way your athletic body is more outlined.

ME Gal 18,
Good luck and hurry up on your study because lots of men out there are getting teased by your looks....lol. Seriously, what kind of man is considered as the right one? hapa, older, tall, religion, or does not matter.
Sometimes, it is still too confusing to understand some women when they said not having or wanting. On a good day, she clearly identifies these verbs as two different meaning, but on a bad day, doesn't matter which one she uses, you better give her what she demands.

To Young,
thanks for wishing me Hari Raya, X Mas and Chinese New Year. Although I don't celebrate Hari Raya, but I would like to learn more about the Malay culture coz I'm partly Malay too.

Long time no see, Pure Asian.
Congratulations on your marriage "to another pure Asian". In mind of keeping your race pure, is your spouse of the same Asian ethnicity as yourself?
When I think about it, you and I really aren't that different. You dig Asian chicks while I dig hapa chicks. So in essence, at least I'm trying to keep my race pure as well. Pure hapa!!! LOL!
I'd probably have a preference for a Chinese hapa as you would for an Asian of your own ethnicity, particularly since fellow Chinese hapas are the variety of hapa I've been least exposed to in comparison to most other major hapa groups.

I can imagine that you would have a stronger physical attraction to and more in common w/ an Asian girl than a non-Asian one, in most cases. As it is w/ myself and Hawaii hapa honeys (but I’m not currently in Hawaii). Maybe I'm in search of the type of normalcy many pure Asians are privileged with (partly due to my conservative Chinese upbringing). A desire to be with my own kind.

Dee:
Yeah but if some guy who I don't know sees me on the street and makes incorrect assumptions about me without any desire to get correct info, I'd either ignore him or slap him around a few times until the truth gets in. No point in worrying about people you only interact with on a superficial basis.

Also as soon as the European kid from China opens his mouth, everyone's assumptions get turned around.
