I see a lot of White men dating Asian women. But not the other way around. What's up with that?

I don't think that is the case. i think you just notice white females with black males more often the single race couples. Everyone has a prefrence, but you can't help who you fall in love with, or who you are sexually attracted to.

I'm persian and I date guys out of my culture. I don't give a you-know-what my family and others say. I just go with the flow. If I lived back in Iran or Israel this would probably not be acceptable. Religion is another factor that puts up a block. I love guys that I can get along with and they know how to treat a lady. People need to loosen up these days. It's a different world.

I think thats analysing too much!  Im sure that a black guy or any colour guy can be attracted to women of any colour and its not a conscious decision to go out and prove a point by dating a puerto rican, asian or white woman.

I'd say it has a lot to do with culture. Asian parents expect their daughters not to marry out of race, so they don't want to get even remotely involved just in case. There's probably a bit of prejudice in it too.

So true! I'm "Eurasian" and sometimes I don't fit in with Asians or Caucasians. . .only with other mixed people! I look more Asian in terms of facial features (though some people can tell I am part European), but certain features like my eyes (they are green) and my hair (golden brown & wavy) set me apart from traditional Asian looks! At the same time I don't fit in with white people because of my (mostly) Asian face!\n\n"Why don't people stop judging. It's wrong as i see it."\nYou are so right, it is WRONG, it's such a sick double standard! Caucasian guys can go out with Asian girls freely, but if an Asian guy goes out with a white girl (esp. in racial areas such as the south), he is gonna get LYNCHED!\n\nAlso, CURRENTLY in Russia they are trying to pass a law that makes a Russian girl lose her citizenship if she marries an Asian dude. HOW RACIST!\n\nGive your "Blasian" friend props. . .Cause I feel for him! People need to look beyond the superficial and stop the damn judging!

Hmmm, I think this is a falacy.  My boyfriend is Hispanic and I'm Caucasian, and plenty of white guys check me out or hit on me.\n\nMaybe your beauty gap theory is sometimes true, but I definitely don't see it that much to be honest with you.

First of all, I am white and answering this question.  My grilfriend, who is Cambodian, thinks she can do math well and kick like Bruce Lee (Sorry, babe, Bruce was Cantonese). Asians are portrayed as smart because of the way in which they are white-washed.  Asians typicall come from nothing because most of Asia is oppressed (no offense).  There are exceptions to everything, but I have seen is first hand.  Asians work hard and have stronger cultural values than any other race.  This is such a big part of academics- plus the portrayl of asians as geeks in movies.  You have the NAM and WWII footage of buck-toothed midgets running around bowing to everyone.  It's all crap American propoganda, geeze remember the New Jersey Plan?  I feel that this stereotype is just that, jst like the one that all whites are rich and fat and blacks are fat and poor ghetto bangers.  America is a melting pot, and I don't know what will happen.

No, I disagree.  Most Asian women I know are high maintenance, clingy and possessive, as well as ill tempered.  Latin women I've come in contact with have been pretty cool, strong willed (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).\n\nIt's all about what you're attracted to.

Perhaps because Oriental women naturally have an intangible aura of mystery due to their ethnic origins and features.\n\nCaucasion women, the ones trained in the art of seduction, have to CREATE this aura of mystery (and that's hard work!). \n\nWhy do men like girls who are mysterious? Because it excites their male imagination -- perhaps the most promising and powerful erotic instrument known to men.\n\nWomen who can manipulate that male imagination, whether they are Caucasian or Asian, have an enormous advantage over women who merely put on make-up and a pretty dress (well, okay, some dresses do launch the male imagination into orbit, but you get my point!) :-)

Race and ethnicity is one of those while elephants in the From everyone see but no one wants to mention. Because if someone was to say they didn't like to date this or that, they could be mistaken as being a racist. And no one wants to be considered a racist. But as it showed in a recent TV news show. Many people will go into matchmaking and dating Web sites and say they are open to other races, yet only a small percent actually have the moxie to follow through. Unless the annual income of the other person is many 10s of thousands to 100s of thousands more than the usual guy of the usual race they would date. Some are truly color blind, and some Euro women actually like men of ethnic background. But those who are really true to that are far between. Many think of IF it goes to the point of having kids that the kids would suffer by being in between races, and not fully accepted by any. Being in an area where there is one major race like 85% or better. I do not believe they really know or believe who the person really is because they still in the back of their mind rely on stereotypes.

I date mostly asian women....they are beautiful and sweet, but also have a fire in them that is very exciting.  Most I have met dont like man to be wimpy....you have to step up..they like real men.   I hate to say but you have to have a bit of tough skin too.....they tell you what they feel.....no games.  I think it is worth every bit.  Good Luck my friend.

To Pobept: Probably because all the white girls are dating black guys. LOL\n\nSeriously though, if you are talking genuine women from these ethnic backgrounds there are different reasons. For Indians, the reasons are mostly religious in origin. For Hispanic it is mostly cultural in origin. Finally, for Asian it is usually both.  Its not that they think they are too good for you, but they feel that you do not share a very basic and fundamental understanding of their culture/religion that is required to make a lasting relationship.  They haven't bought into the commercialized Americanized booty-call hookups like American women. For them, dating is serious business and you only date someone if there is a strong potential for marriage.  They probably view American white/black men as lacking in this level of seriousness and commitment to marriage.

Yeah, I think there are hot guys in every race...I know this really hot Asian guy who is too shy to even talk to a girl.  I think shyness in a guy is pretty cute, and not being conceited is cute too.
