Fair point lazybye and by no means am I complaining. It was a fun experience as it was shot in San Francisco and at the end of the day, I was happy with the eHarmony outcome.

I admit it's weird finding your soulmate on the Internet, but at the same time I was surprised by the quality of matches (across all races as I'm pretty open minded and have dated the full spectrum.)

The great thing about putting your real-life relationship up there is that it's...real. On TV shows and movies, Asian men are all but absent. And when they show them, they're foreigners, like Daniel Dae Kim in Lost and Masi Oka in Heroes. And they're never with women, even Asian women, because that would humanize them.

"Usually, it's a white guy and Asian girl." Just one time I'd like someone to say "Wow, you're a great looking couple." Always about the race...
