Why so few Asian male / White female relationships?


Of course, this is just an observation, but I see far more Asian women with white men than Asian men with white women. Why do you think this is the case?

bc Asian males are perceived by the West as inferior to their white/black counterparts.

Not the west, only jew-owned Hollywood because they are afraid that Russel Wong and Michael Wong will take all the Asian females.

No loss really, if you look t people like Connie Chung, Vera Wang and Amy Tan. I can understand why I would never want to touch them...even with a 10-foot pole, cruel but true.
Merry Christmas, and see you at your local Chinese restaurant this Christmas.

actually, in some ways, they are seen as superior, with regards to traits such as intellect, education, health, sophistication, etc. Asians don't fall under the usual American stereotypes of being fat, obnoxious, and ignorant of the rest of the world, and thus they get treated better abroad.

You're very, very wrong. Asians were never seen by the West as inferior to Whites, let alone to Blacks. On the contrary, race classification generally goes as follows: Asians are a bit better than Whites, and Whites are a lot better than Blacks. So seeing Asians as inferior to Blacks is simply ridiculous.

And don't even bother feeding me that 'race is not real, it's just a social construct" Cultural Marxist crap. Or the other one, the "talking about racial differences makes you racist" malarkey.

Speaking of AMWF, I'm interested in some other films like this - the more intimate they are, the better! I heard they don't even kiss in this film, which is disappointing for me.

I feel really sorry for white guys with asians females. They have no idea what they're getting themselves into...they can have them for all I care. Asian females are controlling demanding psycho biathces. They get that way from the rigid strict upbringing in the asian culture.

Asian Females with White Males is one of the most common IR relationships in the world. But Asian Males with White Females are on a steady rise, thanks to the positive perception of Asian Men as hard working and family oriented (don't know how much they still have to fight family disapproval of it.) Not just North America; look at places like China & Russia. They have too many men in China, and too many women in Russia, so they are crossing the border more often now to get a good mate.

Part of the reason for the disparity is parental pressure. Traditional Asian parents will tolerate their daughters marrying whites (not crazy about it, but will tolerate it), because the daughters aren't as responsible for carrying on the family lineage and name and traditions. They hang their hopes on their sons, who they do NOT want to dilute the family with non-Asian blood or influence. The other reason is that for some reason a lot of Asian men think non-Asian women don't find them as attractive, which is totally absurd, absolutely crazy. But they're the ones who aren't pursuing US. But as the post before me notes, the trend is changing, and you will see a rise now in Asian men/Caucasian women couples because more of the men are taking the initiative. The man in the movie we're talking about is like this; he flirts with both white and Asian women, and has success with both. It doesn't matter to him. This is the growing trend in society now, and Asian parents who resist it are actually expecting the impossible. Love between these two groups is inevitable. It cannot be prevented.

I'm an asian guy and my girlfriend is a Ukrainian with blonde hair and green eyes. =) I simply asked her out and we found out that we were very compatible. I was surprised when she told me she had a thing for asian guys and I have a thing for white girls. I guess a lot of asian men have an inferiority complex and it prevents them from asking white girls out. I think it's also because in Western media, asian men aren't really portrayed as sex symbols and we have a lack of role models.

I had an Asian friend back in college that got a lot of women. Well he was a pick up artist. But from my experience its that Asian guys don't pursue women too much. If you're a shy person that can't go up to people and start a conversation then you will only get the people that might start a conversation with you. Which is hard because even my female friends say they won't go up to a guy that they like,he has to make the first move. The guys that talk with women and pursue them end up with a lot of women.When I go out with my friends that are white they usually hit on all chicks. While other friends are usually too shy.

Well, it's probably because a lot of Asian men just happen to not be that attractive; of course those that are attractive tend to do well with women of any race, but Asians in general, male or female, tend to have more neotenous features, which tends to favor women more than men. But then again, most Asian women aren't that attractive either; the few that are generally go for Asian men that are also attractive. This seems to apply for all races, since there seems to be a subconscious inclination for the most attractive members of a race to mate with each other in order to keep their genes within their own racial pool. This is probably why people who are in interracial marriages tend to be less attractive than those who date within their own race, on average.

But keep in mind that what matters more than quantity is quality; for example, most Asian women with non-Asian men tend to be noticeably less attractive than those with Asian men, possibly for the reason mentioned above. Also, there's the possibility that Asian men aren't as likely to ask out white women, either due to cultural reasons or lack of familiarity. In a culture where men are expected to do the asking, this could play a big role.

Depends where you live. I've seen a lot of both cases. Many asian guys with white and black women and the other way around.

All I don,t like in a couple is when one of the is trash no matter their ethnic background.
