		<description>I&#039;d be curious to know HOW this study was done.  You said that East Asian women SAID they prefer to date their own kind.  But how do you know they weren&#039;t just saying this...that they knew that if they were to say they preferred...say white men, that they would be lambasted.  I suspect this may be the case, based upon what then followed: these same women said at the same time though, that they don&#039;t &quot;discriminate&quot; against white men.  Awe shucks, how positively &quot;open minded&quot; of them eh?  How many asian women are seriously going to admit they prefer white men, and that they see them as trophies, that they have bought into the stereotypes that white man = handsome and that asian man = not handsome...that hapa babies are &quot;more attractive&quot;?  No woman with a modicum of intelligence is going to admit that.  Instead the popular explanation is that asian women are simply more &quot;open minded&quot;.  Gee, I wonder what made asian women to be the most open minded people on the planet huh?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While there are certainly guys out there with an asian fetish, I too agree that it&#039;s in fact the asian WOMEN driivng the proliferation of asian female/white male couples.  Men have radar.  Guys talk.  And the secret is out that asian women are much more receptive to white men, and even black men now....much more than they would be to an asian man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I once was walking down the street with an asian woman/white man couple...they are both ultra-PC types.  As we passed another AF/WM couples on the street, the asian woman next to me mumbled &quot;white wolf!&quot;  I asked her why she said that, and she went on some politically correct tirade about how white men fetishize asian women.  I guess what she was trying to imply was that all asian women that are with white men are their completely innocent, unwitting victims or something?!  And yet her SHE was, herself married to a white guy!  Talk about hypocrisy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But I guess as long as certain asian women come off as pseudo-intellectual politically-correct feminists and lambaste &quot;white wolves&quot;, it&#039;s still ok for THEM to be with white men.  Cuz then we are supposed to think that THEY couldn&#039;t possibly be with each other because of racial stereotypes.  Oh no...it&#039;s all those OTHER AF/WM couples out there that are the racists/fetishists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Manhattan (with the exception of the Chinatown area), I&#039;d have to say that just about every asian woman I see walking down the street is with a NON-Asian man.  So clearly it&#039;s the asian women driving this.</description>

		<description>For one, your contradicting your whole argument...your calling these men idiots and this post &quot;racist bullshit&quot; but you just sat here and generalized &quot;black&quot; men...yes, i agree, black men have more problems to face but not EVERYONE is born into poverty or bad role models...next time the word &quot;SOME&quot; would be more like it.</description>

		<description>Wow!! is all i can say....it seems as if Asian Men are not realizing how desirable they really are...well, to non-asian women...I am a beautiful brown skinned gal from a british territory (island) and i have always been attracted to Asian men..in all fact (no offense to white men at all) I think ive only been attracted to maybe 2 white men in my life...There are many non-asian women who find Asian men attractive...the problem is (the same problem that Black women seem to have) is that:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and this is only my observation and opinion.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A) For Men dealing with women, when it comes to desirability, fantasy ect... it goes as follows: White Women, Asian Woman (including E. Indian), Hispanic (latin) origin....and then Black&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I find this offensive at times but its reality because of stereotypes. I do understand how the Asian men feel because for them (reading blogs and studies) it seems as if they are on the bottom for women..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;B) Asian Men and Black Women sometimes (not all the time) cancel one another out because we both are &quot;loyal&quot; if you want to call it that, to our own (what i would call) &quot;culture&quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;for me race doesn&#039;t matter like it may for some. It is the environment you grow up in which in turn shapes your character and characteristics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I personally like asian men, never had the opportunity to date one because of my location. In college i met 3 japanese men, one which i thought was extremely attractive. He had a great style...the problem was he spoke very little english (since all 3 came to school straight from japan) and i just knew that would be a factor, and they were all extremely close (they would sit on each other&#039;s laps and what not...) just major cultural differences because they were not americanized.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The big question is whether Asian would be interested in Black women is a whole new post and discussion in itself.....</description>

		<description>Everyone here needs to chill, social status / economic status are the strongest indicators for marital success.  So, with that logic, Asian guys have nothing to worry about.  I&#039;m white, and kind of a Japanime nerd, so I have only the highest regards for those of Asian descent.  I am not attracted to Asian women, however I prefer (looks-wise) white &amp; hispanic women.  If you tools would actually read the fucking study, you would realize that Asian women do not DISCRIMINATE as much against white men as they do men of other races (excluding Asian men).  Asian women STILL PREFERRED Asian men!  That&#039;s right, take the time to read the fucking study you idiots--before you start some pointless racist bullshit.  BTW, half of my best friends are Asian men, because I have a lot in common with them (videogames, intelligence, movies, music, education, etc), and NO I&#039;m using them to get to their women.  Again, I personally find Asian women unattractive--just a notch more attractive then I find most black women (who I find the least).  EVERY WOMAN on average preferred their own race, to others!  Again, read the fucking thing.  Some people are so insecure, and it&#039;s that very attitude that causes them to shoot themselves in the foot and ruin their confidence with women.

White women can date black men (our polar opposites), without me getting upset.  Once some of you Asian men, accept Asian women dating white men, without getting upset---you will join my camp of self confidence and ramp up your sexual attractiveness.  My happiness doesn&#039;t depend on what others are doing, and nor does my self esteem.  Join me my friends, let&#039;s live life for ourselves!  Dicks aren&#039;t that important (going by unproved stereotypes) blacks are the least preferred for every ethnic group of women (excluding black women).  So you guys are not at the bottom of sexual food chain by any stretch.  Your value is not at the bottom by any means, just be glad you don&#039;t face the same obstacles man black men face.  Born into poverty, not many role models, etc.  Focus on the positives!  Get an education, good job, and everything will sort itself out, okay?</description>

		<description>No because  i  know how you whiteboys think.  i  see your kind every freakin&#039; day (not just in this country, but all around the world).  When some Asian brotha makes a legitimate point that you whiteboys didn&#039;t come up with, your kind gets all uptight and bring up some counter-argument, even if y&#039;all know it dun make no sense (*lol*....U.S.-southern speak).  Anyway, my original point is as valid as anyone else&#039;s.  If you&#039;ve forgotten what  i  said, go back and re-read my first post on this page about generalizing a study made in the US to the rest of the world.  Then ask yourself if your first response to me wasn&#039;t made out of spite.  You started this fight with me, ya freak, when you said that  i  have a problem with reading comprehension.  (Apparently, you got uptight and developed an inferiority complex when  i  implied that the Asian researchers and Asian women who prefer whiteboys over Asian men are too US-influenced to know what Asian women in Asian countries think).  STOP DENYING THE FACTS.  YOU&#039;RE WRONG, OK?  RESISTANCE IS FUTILE !!!</description>
