So I'm wandering the streets of Sydney, and I see a lot of Asian female/Caucasian male couples. What I hardly ever see is Asian male/Caucasian female couples. My question is...
What the hell is wrong with us!?

I'm not really attracted to white women, personally. I'm just curious , that's all.

Probably does have a lot to do with race. But, I have worked with other people from other countries that won't date the white race. Me, I don't care. If the person was nice, etc I'd date. I don't have a problem with interracial dating.

Im not asian, so I cant answer specifically. But as a woman of color, I can see a disparity as well, even though its in reverse.

There are far more black males who choose white females than there are white males who choose black females. I think, personally , there is a stereotype invovled that goes like this...


black women are loud and independent (so most males believing this would avoid choosing them)

white women are docile and compliant (so most males believing this would flock to choose them)

black males are better lovers and protectors (so most women believing this would flock to choose them)

white males are more financially secure and poseesive(so many women believing this would choose financial stability)

the prevalance of such stereotypes(none of which I believe, by the way) seems to have a huge impact on the cultural choices we see when people choose partners
perhaps the underlying sterotype of asian females being timid and compliant makes them more desirable to asian males and caucasian males than the stereotype of the american female(period) who is loose and demanding and disrespectful

Everyone is the same color in the dark.
It's a fact, the more the gene pool is mixed up, the better the offspring turn out.

Personally, I've dated every "color" under the rainbow. Female human is female human to me.

You're asking a biological question here and there really is no answer. The human animal is a fickle one, we have people who are attracted to a specific body shape while others are attracted by the eyes or voice or overall appearance and some who are attracted to a specific skin color only.

I like Asian girls myself but I love it when they got attitude! White women are kind of boring to me. We all like and have a certain amount of love of the exotic. It runs deeper than others. I've had black GFs before. I have had white GFs before. Honestly they are ALL as different from one another person to person as snow flakes are no matter what racial stock they are!

What would you say if you got hit with Jungle fever suddenly?

amen,, but some people will continue to base their choices in stereotypes and prejudgements instead of taking time to get to know other humans...

It's been said before..
"Why hate someone because they are different? When you take the time to really get to know someone, you'll find there are some really GOOD reasons to hate 'em."

humans are silly...

I never encountered "the good old boy" syndrome until the late 90's. Then, I was a neophyte stockbroker looking to make my mark. The Caucasian "powers that be" were not readily inclined to hire Hispanics over Caucasians. The entire process was odd, eerie, and unsettling. I have since left that profession and entered another one.

I get along with other races better than I do my own ethnic group. I have a problem with Latins/Mexicans/Illegal Aliens that surreptiously enter this country, operate undocumented, and assume servile/menial roles. There is nothing wrong with being poor and having modest means. There is nothing wrong with being less educated; individuals sometimes have to abandon their education to work. But, I do have a problem with individuals who are present in this country illegally, unlawfully, and can't or won't assimilate themselves to American society.

Here is an interesting quote from a dating website ad -
"Why Date Asians in Australia?"
"Because Asian girls are keepers. They will always serve and never leave you no matter what."

This kind of underlines what this poster said. I also imagine it might offend quite a lot of Asian women , as well, to be thought of like that. It would probably offend quite a lot of women in general, for that matter.
There is one school of thought which says that some white men like Asian women because they feel more dominant over them than they do with white women.
I've also come across quite a few instances of Asian women ,in Australia, saying they are not attracted to Asian men. I feel this is racism of the worst kind. That which is directed at one's own people. It's a bit of a slap in the face to their own culture. I don't think you'd ever hear of a white woman with the same view of white men.
I personally feel the media & Hollywood has contributed to this sort of thinking. White men are generally portrayed as "the sporty, masculine hero" by Hollywood. Asian men are generally stereotyped as "the bookish nerd". There are no strong Asian male role-models in western society in general.
Oh my, I sound a bit worried about this don't I?
Well, considering that I'm only attracted to Asian women, it feels like I'm being betrayed. I'd understand if an Asian rejected me on the basis of my aesthetic appearance (I'd probably expect it tears , but not on the basis of my race, which is the same as theirs.
But anyways ...life goes on regardless.

Why is that? He's posted on topic relating to the thread. I personally have only dated black & white men. This turns some of the white men off from wanting to date a white women if she also dates black men. But, I'm not one to care what others thinks. I'd love to date a hispanic guy someday because I think they are awesome!!
