Exploring the sexual preference some people have for Asian women, and Asian women alone.

"I once asked my first boyfriend what his friends thought about me. Apparently they were amused that he was dating a Chinese girl, and teased him about "riding her like a Kawasaki."

"If "yellow fever" isn't merely a product of how people are wired, where does it come from? Like all great mysteries of human behavior, there's another vital ingredient here mingling with our evolutionary history and genetic predispositions. This ingredient, of course, is culture."

"As an Asian woman, I can say conclusively that penises do not make me cry. Erika Nishimori, a part-time Japanese porn actress, confirms that the giggly reluctance and pitchy shrieks are part of the job. "I play embarrassing gestures. It is acting to cry and be scared," she says. "I am making it so that men get excited. There are few such things in truth."

"Max* likes Asian women, and puts it down to being attracted to physical features like dark hair and slender frames. He's well aware of the stigma, and has "learned the hard way that admitting you like Asian women as a white man is looked down upon." Adam* is also "exclusively attracted to women with Asian features", but thinks "yellow fever" is idiotic. "Do white men who only like white women have white fever?" he asks rhetorically."

"Ultimately, the reasons why people are drawn to each other are exceedingly complex. Dr David Frederick, assistant professor of psychology at Chapman University, studies how biological and social factors influence attraction. Further to the submissive stereotype, he hypothesizes that a whole host of factors could contribute to the development of an Asian preference. For example, when white men have largely grown up around white women "Asian and other ethnic minority women [may] appear novel and exciting".

Not in my experience.

This is stupid. "Asia" accounts for over half the world's population, but even if we exclude South Asia, it still includes over 1/4 of the world's population. How can you possibly generalize anything about "Asian" women?

Indeed. I have just spent nearly two years in Vietnam. The term "submissive" does not exist. Maybe the terms wily, goal oriented, subtly manipulative, disguised aggressiveness, and even a bit dangerous might fit. These characterizations don't really show themselves all at once. For me, it was a slow process of revelation. This is where the danger comes in. :plus1:

Probably boils down to the fact that we think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Which would explain why many Asians also like white skin people ,,,, and, and, and they dont know what it's like to get sunburnt.

Some of us are not exclusively attracted to Asian women. But:

I Western countries, old men are supposed to have old ladies. In Cambodia they can have young girls. In western countries, a higher proportion of women are overweight. In Asia, most girls are slim.

So while we are not exclusively attracted to Asian women, we are attracted to young slim girls.

Cambodian girls are attracted to men with money. So it works both ways. There is actually more to it. Sometimes they are attracted to a good kind man.

^^ If you could edit that to read "younger women" it would sound much better.

excellent post.
The other day I saw a white man with an Asian woman close to his own age and with a lot of" junk in the trunk" if you know what I mean. The number of white men that prefer Asian women to white women probably lower than the number of black men that would prefer to date white women. Examples of this would be O.J.Simpson and the guy that is married to one of the Kardashians. In Tokyo, there are hostess clubs that employ white women exclusively and their clientele is all Japanese. I agree with you some Asian women like good kind men and have seen white men of modest means or even handicapped men that have found love in Asia. Also by "young girls" I believe you meant "young women" as the definition of a girl is a female under 18 years of age. Again excellent insight into this very complex situation.
