Who cares about the majority? Be the change that you want the majority to embrace. Sorry I totally made that up...you got my point though

If so you should call him up...lol.

Thing is in Asia we do have plenty of charismatic, male sex symbols, actors, singers and performers, but in the States AM is still seen as either an asexual geek or a kung fu expert.
He is not my type, I love Asano Tadanobu, he is the actor from Itchi the Killer.

^^^^This.

And really, all that matters is that you attract those that are interested in you, not any/all women.

I think the Asian guys are starting to take off a bit more in the American media. I've been noticing for a few yrs seeing more in leading roles.

There is a show on TV called The Mentalist and we watch that show and there is an Asian character on there that Mrs. Chow would step over my dead body to go after.......

OP,
Some tips on a type of white girl that would go out with an Asian. These are not 100% proof but sort of generalizations but these might help you narrow down you "hunt"

1. She has grown up in Cali or has gone to college in Cali where there are a lot of Asians
2. She is from Hawaii (Obama's mom with Indonesian) or has gone to college there, NY or Mass work as well in some regards
3. She is studying an Asian language or something Asian related (foreign policy, architecture etc.) or has spent a substantial time in an Asian country
4. She has many Asian girlfriends/roommates, or one really close one will do as well
5. She dates other ethnicities in general

Hope this helps

I completely agree. However, like 99% of young men out there, there is a fear of rejection in my mind.
Im just wondering what percentage of white women in your area would be open to dating an Asian man? Please be honest

Well thanks for the classy post.
But what I'm trying to tell myself is that my desireability to women isn't dependent on some fictional character (or lack thereof) on a screen. I realize that the media can stir up certain stereotypes and prejudices against me but it in the end, it is who I am as an individual that will decide things. Agreed?

OP, take the info tulip posted, and use that as a base to operate from . For example, she said women who study Asian languages, culture, history would probably be open to dating Asians. So find out if there's some kind of Asia studies club at your university, and join it, even if it seems boring because you grew up with that knowledge. Join it to meet women.
**Go to Asia-themed films, and chat women up in the ticket line or lobby.
**Find out where the Asia studies grad students hang out. Comparative Religion students might be worth a shot, too.
**Organize a meetup group to go Asian restaurant-hopping. Put up notices in Asian studies departments, or in student mailboxes, or post a notice in the student newspaper, and online.

Think creatively. You can come up with your own ideas. Chatting casually with random women is good, too. Rejection happens to everyone. You can't win if you don't get into the game.

Well that's the problem... I've become so westernized over the years that I don't think I would have a lot in common with these women. However, tulip also said that girls who grew up in Cali and other diverse areas, so I'll just use that as a guideline.

You have the second part correct, that you are an individual that makes your own choices, however the media isn't doing anything to you, so you aren't their victim. My butt's flat, so is every butt shot of Kim Kardashian's wide load prejudicing me, and ultimately the media is shaping people's opinions of my butt?? Not sure why you're investing so much into the media, becaus it's never a consideration for me, or anyone else that I know, what the media portrays versus what we do and how we live in our everyday lives.
