SEX & HEALTH: SEX IN THE CITY
Every other couple I pass in SoHo is a White male and Asian female combination. According to a not so recent but relevant Census Bureau statistic, Asian females are twice as likely to marry a White male than Asian males are to marry a White female. Every other couple I pass in SoHo is a White male and Asian female combination. According to a not so recent but relevant Census Bureau statistic, Asian females are twice as likely to marry a White male than Asian males are to marry a White female. They are the "it" couple that receives more rants on Craigslists than any other interracially dating couple. And while I have nothing personally against it, there is something about this particular phenomenon that has driven me nuts.
Everything would be fine and dandy for a few weeks, and then he'll whisper in my ear, "I've always wondered how'd it be to f*** an Asian girl."
The man who proudly gloats, "I've dated Asian women before".
I call it the "Asian Female Fetish Syndrome". It is the desire for me or any other Asian woman simply because we are Asian. It is more commonly found in White men than other races.
Symptoms include:
- The man who proudly gloats, "I've dated Asian women before." (Now if only this were a job interview instead of a date--I'd be impressed.)
- The man who professes his love for Chinese food when I mention I'm Chinese.
- The man who attempts to speak Asian (That is--Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or a jumble of the three) to me.
- The man who refers to me as Oriental - ”period. I pickup the word "oriental" like a radar detects missiles, especially when it is not used in reference to rugs and chinaware. It conjures an image of the china doll and me no love you long time (tee-hee).
I have no doubt that there are many happy white male and Asian female couples out there, including my sister and her boyfriend, who are very much in love. But for the majority of what I have experienced, it is quite a different story.
"Do you girls really have the tightest pussy?"
My jaw dropped to the floor when a man seriously asked me that question. It's as if all engagements of proper behavior are thrown out the window. The form of this question varies, but it will always allude to the hypersexual and erotic imagery of me.
Sometimes, it's a statement.
"You oriental girls are kinky."
I grind my teeth underneath a fake smile as I walk away.
Unfortunately, these are the lines that are often used to hit on me. Sad to say, but these are also the lines that have made the walls slightly higher for guys to date me who are not of Asian decent.
Weeding out the men who have A.F.F.S. can be a tricky thing. Everything would be fine and dandy for a few weeks, and then he'll whisper in my ear, "I've always wondered how'd it be to f*** an Asian girl."
I need a stronger weed killer.
I never thought of myself as one who actually had racial preferences as I have dated outside the boundaries many times over but looking back at my dating history, I realize that all my serious relationships have been with Asian men. Coincidence? I think not.
A.F.F.S is non-existent when I'm dating them. I'm not saying an Asian guy will not have fetishes, but I would be rest assured he would not proclaim his love for Chinese food in the middle of dinner.
Frankly, it makes it that much easier not to deal with it. I don't believe in making things more complicated then it has to be. This also goes for long distance relationships and smokers. It's not that I would not deal with it - ”I'm just saying I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. There's a difference.
However, if I do marry the meatloaf-loving-former-boy-scout-who-can't-jump, then so be it. Let me reiterate, stereotypes are not cool.

Yes it is rare for Asians(yes, I am going to use the word Asian in this context because it is the proper word to use) to date other races such as Middle Eastern, Latino or Black men, but they do exist. I am attracted to Asian men, I am not going to deny that. Its because I feel comfortable around Asian men. But I am also attracted to Black guys. So this White Fetish that you claim that all Asian women have is not true. |

If Asian guys were going out with white girls more this forum wouldn't be so crazy. The problem is that Asian guys are wussies (yea, I said it) They need to learn the art of the flirting again..from Asian guys who just "get it" Where Can You Find These Guys? ==>Asian Pimp Status |

So many hateful people leaving comments. . .Well, on with my comment about your article: The only criticisms I have are these 2: 1) The "good" guys who date Asian women aren't represented in this article, so it somewhat comes across as being a bit one-sided in that regard. 2) I find the language of the article to be overtly harsh at times and unnecessarily vulgar (seems odd to me to complain about guys who make rude comments while using vulgar language). Those 2 points aside, I will commend the fact that you recognize these men and do your best to stay away, and for those Asian women who may not have experienced these types of crappy guys, it may do some good for them to read this (assuming they don't completely avoid white males altogether). On the last note, you mentioned when a guy would say, "You oriental girls are kinky." I can't believe that you would actually put up any kind of smile at all if a bozo were actually dumb enough to say such a thing. Why not kick him? Why not tell him off and put him in his place? Why smile and walk away from that? I never even said that to my wife! lol Ultimately, whomever you date, best wishes to you. By the way, I really LOVE Chinese food. (just kidding, don't kick me) |





























I find it hypocritical for East Asian (yes, Oriental, don't say Asian and then exclude South Asians, for we find that very offensive too) women to complain about yellow fever, considering that the only ones they date which are not East Asian are whites. How many East Asian women do you see with South Asian men - in other words Oriental women with Desi men (please don't say Asian, when you really mean to say East Asian, as we Indians find that very offensive and ignorant also). White men can be found with women of all races, but East Asian women can almost always be found with either men of their race or with white men. Can we say the real issue is WHITE FETISH. Why have a double standard and accuse white men of yellow fever, when you have WHITE FEVER. Until I see East Asian women dating non-white men, such as Indian men, I will say that most of these women are WHITE FETISHISTS.
