trubella Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 However, only 1% of white males marry Asian women. where do you get 1% from? latest stat i seen was 41% of american bred asian women marry white men here.
Sks Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 where do you get 1% from? latest stat i seen was 41% of american bred asian women marry white men here. There aren't that many Asian females, so 1% of White Males could equal 41% of American bred Asian females.
I Luv the Chariot OH Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 There aren't that many Asian females, so 1% of White Males could equal 41% of American bred Asian females. What planet are we talking about again?
woods321 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Whites are the least likely to marry interracially, although in absolute terms whites are involved in interracial marriages more than any other racial group. 1.9% of married white women and 2.2% of married white men have a non-white spouse. 1.0% of married white men are married to an Asian woman, and 1.0% of married white women are married to a man classified as "other".

Well obviously since most people in America are white they are more likely to marry a white spouse.
woods321 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, true. Whites are about 80% of America, and 98% of them marry other whites.
BlueEyedGirl Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I find it annoying when you say that you are Asian and not attracted to Asian men (even though it's very common). All my male friends say that they find it way easier to hook up with Asian women as opposed to white. Asian women have their sights set on white men (doesn't matter who they are or what they look like as long as they are WHITE). Anyway, my friends say that while they don't mind Asian women for sex, they wouldn't consider a long term relationship with them. Majority of white men / Asian women long term couples couples are: overweight, nerdy, couldn't-get-anything-else male and average to pretty just-gimme-anything-white Asian girl. I know that I will get flamed and all but I'm just speaking the truth.
Angel1111 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Date within your same race, its allot easier and prevents future problems if the relationship becomes serious. There's a lot of truth in this. It's a big reason why I don't date Hispanic or Black men. Their culture is too different from mine and I don't need the problems. So, right off the bat, I'm just not attracted to them because I know it wouldn't go anywhere. And then there are the (American) Japanese men who are extremely arrogant and discourteous to women with amazing consistency. It's an incredible turn-off.

It is pretty harsh but I have noticed that a lot of women from many races consider the white American male to be the ultimate prize (and I can't argue with that).

When I was on vacation in Asia 2 yrs ago, I noticed that with the increase of tourism in Asia ( which means lots of single white men) alot of people looked at them with curiosity, and most of their eyes flashed because of their sterotype of foreigners is that Foreigners = money. And then you have the single asian female trying to flirt with them.

xpaperxcutx Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 My sister observed the same thing in Japan. Let's face it, our smart, savvy and successful American guys are hard to compete with. Japan is a whole different matter. Most japanese are Americanized and are easily influenced by foreign cultures. Japanese women in general are materialistic. I know someone who lived there for years. He told me that the girls are especially promiscuous there, and most american guys are not going to refuse a girl thats flirting with them in the open.
wierdmunky Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I'm an Asian American guy, so I'm the total opposite. My Caucasian friends complain about the type of Asian girls they meet, but sometimes I want to whack their head for being a bit too picky and selective with their choices of women. What are they complaining about? Just curios
loveinlife Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I think the concentration should be less about race and more about attraction. Looks can only last so long but personality and other traits to me are more appealing to be compatible mates. Im looking for someone who i can get along with in the long term. Im asian american male btw. Any females here like to get to know me? hehehe
ltrade123 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Think its the Asian guys who got the raw deal here. Lots of asian girls I know won't date asian men, they are seen as effeminite and nerdy. SO what's up, why aren't asian girls down for their race? There is a super funny video on the topic done by some Asian guys, I found it at findingloveabroad.blogspot.com. I think its called yellow fever....
woods321 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Asian women LOVE Asian men. The problem is multiculturalism. If they live in America, they want their offspring to look more white, and fit in better. Asian woman also like to have surgery to make their eyes a bit bigger, also to fit in better. I would say the vast majority in Asia are quite content with their men and culture.
renaissancewoman101 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I don't think it's a disadvantage to being an Asian woman, except maybe depending on what area you live in. I've had a few serious relationships and all of them have been with white guys, one of whom was wanting to eventually settle down with me. I don't think I've seriously dated an Asian guy (have gone out on 1-2 dates with Asian guys). But then, for half of my life (college years and a bit beyond), I've lived in the Midwest where the Asian population wasn't that big, so there wasn't a big pool of Asian guys to choose from and white guys usually were attracted to Asian women because of the exoticness, not sure. Now that I live in a decent sized city on the West Coast, I find it harder to date and attract white guys, because it seems there is a bigger Asian population and a lot of Asian women seem to want to date white guys, not sure why though out here. And age has a BIG thing to do with it. I'm in my mid-thirties and I usually like older white guys, but older white guys seem to want women (even Asian women), who are in the mid-twenties.

Do you have statistic on this or something? If you read my prior post, I think my preference of non-Asian men comes from the fact that I was raised in a mostly white area/neighborhood. That's normal -- you like what you are around. I don't know who your male friends are that say Asian women are good for sex, but not a long-term relationship, but that is a pretty offensive, perpetuating stereotype of Asian women: that we are here to serve and please men, cooking food and pleasuring them sexually. That is such a ridiculous statement, that I just feel sorry for how ignorant your friends are. I am 100% Japanese, though born-and-raised in California. I don't know where you're getting your impression of Asian women from, but these blanket statements that are being made by some of you posters, are proving my point that it is indeed difficult to be an Asian female in the dating world.
Leoni Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 pandagirl, I have one asian female friend who also prefers caucasian men. She has no problems with getting dates or finding men who are relationship-oriented but it's probably locale based. If you consider the nature of California, it's a high-competition area for women in general. I doubt it's your race v. just plain stiff competition. This doesn't mean you're not attractive but that your competition maybe have model or movie star looks.
BlueEyedGirl Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Just wanted to add that I'm not racist, I just say what I think and don't care if my views are politically correct or not. Those are the trends I have observed among people that I know and that I see around (I live in an area with high percentage of Asian population). 9 times out of 10 when I see asian/white couples, it's very unattractive white guy/ pretty Asian girl. In fact I could argue that you Asian girls are being racist yourselves by making white men the ultimate sought after prize. You are the ones that de-value yourselves by being all over white guys. Hands up if there are ANY Asian girls reading this thread that actually prefer Asian guys.
TheSilentType Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 9 times out of 10 when I see asian/white couples, it's very unattractive white guy/ pretty Asian girl. I don't have my own statistics lol, but I have seen instances of this being true. Just one example below. In school, I once saw this decent looking Japanese girl, maybe even good looking, go out with complete dork of a white guy. Its not that he even looked like a stereotypical dork, but there was really nothing that outstanding about him lookwise or personality. The thing is, most decent looking white girls would not touch him. But she was all over him.
Leoni Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I'm missing this concept of devaluation purely based on looks. If couples are happy with each other, who cares? I've seen plenty of couples, regardless of race where the women were much better looking than the men. The reverse also holds true, although it's true it's rare.

You are the ones that de-value yourselves by being all over white guys"??? "White men" are not the "sought after prize." There is nothing inherently better about a "white man" than any other race, be it Asian, African-American, Hispanic or Indian. In reference to "de-valuing" myself, what does this even mean? That if I like someone outside of my race, that I am somehow participating in some form of self-hatred? Ridiculous. This whole thread was started by me because I found it disheartening how there are stereotypes of Asian women and how it affects my dating life, and again, you have proven my point very clearly.
