As a ABC GUY who’s lived and worked in Los Angeles, Singapore, Bangkok, Hanoi, Taipei, AND Shanghai, I will tell you the the TRUTH why the yellow fever phenomena exists and why you have been betrayed:
1) ALL asian cultures have an ingrained disposition for looking for mates (both girls+boys) with PALE SKIN. This is why you never see asian girl + blacks / indian / mexican.
2) Pretty asian girls with pale flawless skin and petite bodies are a dime-a-dozen in asia, ESPECIALLY in the entire Jiangsu province (Shanghai), and local Chinese guys will treat them as such. Not a problem for hot 10/10 girls, but average and below-average girls feel marginalized, frustrated, and lonely.
In comparison, laowais have a very lowered standard of beauty because white chicks are so fat, vulgar, and unfeminine. So, laowais will fawn over and chase average looking Chinese girls and make them feel pretty, special, and wanted.
This is what makes SPGs embrace western culture, talk with a fake/exaggerated aussie/british accent, and betray asian guys. If you’ve studied psychology, it is because they are “preserving their ego”. ie, “asian guys don’t appreciate me the way white guys do, therefore asian guys must be inferior”. Don’t EVER mention this to a SPG though, she will just get super defensive and say something like “love is blind” etc. (Well if love were so blind, why aren’t you SPGs slutting it up to blacks? LOL)
When it comes to ABC/CBC guys THE TABLES ARE TURNED! In America + Europe, asian guys have it the worst. White girls ignore them and SPG asian girls “betray” them, so a huge number of lonely asian guys are chasing the leftover non-SPG girls. Supply and demand -> frustrated lonely guys with lowered standards of beauty.
Anyway, these ABC/CBC “expats” who come back to work in China all of a sudden find themselves in man’s paradise because they possess the desired laowai qualities (civilized, romantic, lowered standards, $$$), but also look Chinese enough for the girl to PROUDLY show off to her parents and friends.
3) Hollywood propagates the idea that white guys are sexually superior to asian guys. This is so obvious and insulting that I don’t need to explain it. In countries like northern Vietnam where Hollywood “propaganda” is muted, it is very rare to see asian girl + laowai.
Lucky for us though, a lot of rich Chinese companies have been buying up stakes in American film studios, so in the next few decades we will start seeing asian guys pimping it on the big screen. For example, do you know why Ken Watanabe was portrayed as such a pimp handsome guy in Inception? It’s because asian investors financed Christopher Nolan’s film company.
Anyway, Asian guy, hope that makes you feel better. And just so you understand the context, although I look Chinese and hold a US Passport, I spend most of my time in asia for all the reasons above.

@mdb54 If that happened to me, I’d wear sunglasses and a hat wherever I went to hide my light. For women to flirt with you, they must really need a savior or you must look as sweet as Kevin Spacey. Good luck!

@mdb54 not me, I’ve always felt confident that I would be rich from my own career and I have had no problem having girlhood crushes on random Chinese men with not much in the career department. I’m still that way today. When presented with scenarios on tv shows like a husband having trouble at work or out of work, I always think if I were in the wife’s position, I’d get a night job, I’d get a job with full medical benefits, I’d lower household expenses. I was born this way. I have no sympathy for women who aren’t this way and have problems in their relationships as a result. It’s not because I am desperate to hold onto a man. This is my character. I’m troubled by much less because I am my own Alpha Male.

They don’t look charming nor do they enhance the image of the man they are with. They often look sleazy and mostly look like the lame duck at the gathering. Rupert Murdoch’s second wife looked more impressive on his arm just as fellow Aussie and model looks better with Lachlan Murdoch than Wendy Deng. That’s a fact not racism. It’s more racism to say that these odd pairings are the new and improved wrinkle in power couples. That’s as untrue and as awful as green tea and adzuki bean macarons in Paris. I’ll pass.

“yellow fever” or “rice king”

I'm so sick of these degrading remarks for white men who prefer Asian females. I know many Asian females who are intelligent/understanding/open-minded (which, as a white guy, have to say I find the most attractive aspect about many Asian women – it seems that I can have a many in-depth/open conversations more-so with many Asian compared to many white women I know), kind/caring, independent and confident (contrary to the common “submissive” stereotype), take good care of themselves/care about how thye present themselves – why can't AMerican media/culture just accept the fact that many Asian women are wonderful persons?! Honestly, it makes me sick …
