Re: another of my (white) friends has started dating an asian

Well, you can interpret it one of two ways, I think.

1) These couples just find each other attractive, like any other couple.

2) There are cultural factors at play. Depending on your friends, the entire "traditional woman" thing might appeal, whether or not it's accurate for the Asian women in question. This isn't bad unless it is indeed based on stereotypes; some people just want different things out of relationships.

You were expecting the last line from me, admit it.

It can go the other way too. White guys are taller and, as the rumor goes. Compared to some tradtional asian cultures, white guys tend to like their girls to be a bit less submissive then that, so they may feel less confined to a certain role. The appeal can go both ways.

Oh, and you know, BIGGER PENIS BIGGER PENIS BIGGER PENIS.

That too. I'm just assuming anon knows their friends better and could make that call. :)

I've had it come up dating more then once, and it wasn't me that brought up the subject.

Are you telling us your boyfriend has a small penis here.

Be honest, it's okay this is a safe space.

I think the cultural factors extend beyond the simplistic 'traditional woman' thing.

In the UK for example the most common (when controlling for factors like relative population size and such) relationships are middle-class white men/asian women and working class black men/white women.

I've seen suggestions that a large part of this is that asian women both epitomise the feminine ideal and the traditional middle-class ideal, with an emphasis upon high context culture, focus upon education, the importance of politeness and manners, etc. Whereas the opposite is true of black men.

White men are also seen as less traditional (valid or not), willing to engage emotionally, and more masculine then asian men - especially when you've been bombarded by media which promotes this.

Oh and we're taller.

When I was in Hong Kong so many girls were all about that, was such an ego boost.
