This. If a woman were approached by an attractive or interesting Asian guy, any prevailing stereotypes (which are so last-century, at this point), wouldn't cross her mind. I would also add that there's a tremendous diversity of cultures in Asia. Not all are "reserved", by any means. Central Asian, Tibetan and Indian men are not reserved.

If you Asian attitude makes all the difference, then why not go outside and enjoy instead of this thread (which has been done to death)?

Dude alright it seems like you and jobaba an I disagree and this subject... To each his own but I believe I'm right on this part

Ha, autocorrect does nutty things. I didn't mean here on the board, I meant here in this country, but it's moot anyway because you didn't say it. I was picturing you announcing that to people in real life.

But sarcasm aside, I'm a pretty young buck and like what I told jobaba, think it is the Asian attitude that makes the difference.
Good looking in whose opinion though?

Have you ever been hit on by any white women? Had a white woman call you hot?

Unfortunately, as an Asian guy, you are probably attracted to women of all races. But only a few of those will be attracted to you.

It's sad to say but the amount of white women who will date an average looking Asian guy is probably the same as the amount of Asian women who will only date white men.

Like I said before, I don't think it's racist, it just comes down to looks. There's always exceptions though. If you like white women, then go for it.

Well there you go jobaba...
Maybe you disagree with me here but I'm telling you, I think you're dead wrong.

Dude I'm not trying to start a thread war and it seems to me that you're a man...
Like I said, stereotypes are just stereotypes. I think you're too fixated with proving that white men are better from reading your posts, and I would like to ask you to please leave my thread.
