I dont see the advantage you speak of drake. I find that being white or partly white puts you at a handicap unless ur dealing with asian girls who have white men fetishes. Especially with the japanese. The feeling that ur not one of them is going to be hard to overcome unless ur dealing with ultra westernized unjapanese jpanese.

For serious relationships, yes. For casual flings, no.

I love how that works out, everyone is happy! The ugly Chinese chicks get carried off by adoring, "rich" white guys, Chinese guys not complaining.

Same effect in gay circles, by the way. White guys often go for the Chinese guys who look the "most Chinese".

Well most Korean women probably prefer Korean men, but the number of Korean women who prefer white men outnumbers the number of white men in Korea but a pretty good margin. Koreans also have a wierd national inferiority complex (when they aren't been hyper-nationalistic) so a lot want to emigrate to the west or send their kids to live there (including one of my 7 year olds students) to get a western education. Part of this results in a huge english-learning craze and one of the nicer results of this is lots of Korean english teachers who usually are pretty close to fluent in english and like western culture a lot (although not westernized by US standards since a good number of them have never been outside of Asia or even Korea) and of course the majority of Korean english teachers (especially in private cram schools) are young females

quote:
Western men are also portrayed in a biased way in the Asian media, which leads to the bizarre belief that white men are simply better than Asian men amongst many of the women here.



quote:
Many Asian women think that Western men don't have any of the negative qualities they associate with their native men, which is bullshit, but it exists anyway.

Well the stereotype of westerners in Korea is that we're all drunken womanizers (while the stereotype we have of each other is that we're all a bunch of geeks who suddenly become drunken womanizers when we get here ) so things cut both ways a bit.

quote:
And let's not even get into the way in which being with a foreign man is seen as a status symbol here.

It is? Things are a bit more conservative here and Korean women with western men are often viewed as sluts by Koreans (on the upside we get to be forbidden fruit or something I guess...) For example, my gf's family doesn't know about me, since she's afraid they'll really freak out if they knew she was dating a foreigner.

To add to what Boshko said . . . being in the military is another huge handicap, here in korea. The sterotype is that all US Soldiers are dumb, troublemakers, rude, violent, etc. . .

However, I have this handy ability to speak korean . . . which REALLY impresses damn near every korean i meet, and thus even if they know that i'm a soldier, they're willing to give me a chance.

Isn't it just that blacks look more male than whites look more male than asians? Hence black men have their pick of the women and asian women have their pick of the men, should they choose to stray down that route. The strayers make it hard for the black women and asian men.

But, this is hardly justification for a stigma against inter-racial marriages. People who fall in love should never have to fear from the bigots that view their relationship through a lens distorted by prejudices and stereotypes.

Also, this is just one of many factors of attraction when it comes to the dating game. i.e: A strong, healthy, tall, clean-skinned, funny, rich man with great listening skills will always get the girl no matter what race the two of them are.

Luckily these are not the majority of the population, these people are annoying.

If a girl came to me because I was strong, healthy, tall, clean-skinned, funny and rich, I would show her the window and push her out.
A woman like that is most likely to be materialistic, abnoxious, selfish and get easily bored - thus leading to a divorce. It would be a waste of time to marry a person like this.

pfffft, when was the last time you had a date? Sounds to me like youre trying to make yourself feel better. A girl is attracted to those things upon first site sure, but they dont make decisions on who to be with based on those things. Although I'll admit they play a small factor.

In my travels in Asia I've found that Asian women dating white men is looked down upon but is still socially acceptable if frowned upon. Black men seem to be the only group which are almost universally looked down upon and even parents who dislike but allow their daughters to date white men would freak out if their daughter brought home a black man.

Thailand seemed to be the only country where this wasn't so.

I can't really compare the two, having never been to Korea. Have you been to Japan? I honestly was expecting much, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

I like Korean women and I dated a Korean-American girl while in college (she was 100% American but her parents just happened to be from Korea) but if we are dealing with the "average" then I'd say the average Japanese girl is slightly better looking then the average Korean girl. It has to do with Japanese having longer arms and legs while Koreans tend to have very long torsos relative to their arms & legs.

No. It is based on a highly complicated and proprietary algorithim that takes into account historical achievement, current world importance, quality of wacky television programs and the number of girls from each respective country that I have had sex with.

I then average the rankings of seven prominent American computer polls, throwing out the highest ranking and the New York Times, because those stupid ****s keep ranking Djibouti number 3 in the world for some reason.

Quality wins also play a role, which gives a boost to Japan considering its two impressive victories over a surging China squad.

Not as good as a playoff, obviously, but I'd rather perfect this system than make the players miss finals (and probably start WWIII).

That isn't true. Depends on the country.

There are others.

But is this any different to say US Navy sailors dating local girls in almost any port in the world? You think Australian men are happy about that?

The Japanese girls are better looking then Korean because the japs have longer arms and legs? That is your own opinion. I on the other hand am not attracted to tall women or long women in other words, I am however attracted to small women.

Congrats!
If you have to ask that question then you may have some issues to work out. Personally, I think some people are naturally curious and attracted to those different than themselves. Of course, there are some who are just the opposite and are only attracted to those like themselves. Neither group are necessarily racist.
If you love each other that is all that really matters. The rest is just BS.
