The curse of the Asian Persuasion.
Posted: 7/15/2009 2:09:34 PM
Just curious how many guys have run into this, and how many girls know what I'm talkin' bout.

As a guy, if you date one (1) asian girl, you are forever and henceforth known as THAT guy.

And we all know THAT guy. He is called the 'Asian Persuasion'. I'm just wondering why asian women are the only ones who supposedly have this power. I suppose that the whole 'Jungle Fever' thing sorta counts... but people really only used that term in the early 90's when that movie came out.

Now, I've dated asian girls. I've also dated hispanic, african american, caucasian, philippino, and Icelandic girls. But it's true... you date ONE asian girl, and forevermore anytime you're out with your friends and an asian girl walks by they'll immediately look at you expectantly, hoping to catch you drooling.

It's just funny. Who knows what I'm talking about?

(please note... I'm sure there are plenty of you Asian Persuasion guys out there. For the record, y'all are some creepy **stards...)

Well, their food is awesome!

I'd be drooling too, if she knew how to cook!

I hear ya. Everyone has their preferences, and that makes life grand. But there are some guys out there who ONLY want Asian women. Specifically the old-world, docile types. And alot of those guys are just damned creepy.

The thing is, as I said before... If you ever date just ONE Asian girl, forevermore you are labelled as one of those guys.

Seriously.

Try it out. It's kinda funny.

I dated an Asian girl once and I didn't have that problem at all, maybe it's just your friends.

You need new friends. No one in my circle would remember who anyone dated, much less care.

No idea.

Oooh yes, have to agree with landra here.
None of my freinds would even really notice, much less comment on the racial heritage of any dates of mine.
Maybe you just have ignorant obnoxious immature freinds OP.
If thats the case, I suggest you expand your circle of freinds to people who are past the sing stage.

For the women here I think this might be more a guy thing, that's why it never happens to you.

OP I think it's because you've shown a preference, some guys do not find Asian women attractive so guys do, if your friends know your preferences then when a woman comes along that fits your preferences why wouldn't your friends wonder if you were going to go for it?

Based on my experience it is one of the greatest myths that Asian women are in any way more "docile or old-world" than any other demographic. You need to expand your circle of friends. This almost sounds like one of those outdated WWII "they all look alike" running gag lines....

You need new friends. I've never heard of anything like that before. You probably talk about Asian women all the time and don't even realize it.

Denver, you sound like a freaking moron. I mean way to reduce an entire race to some denigrated sexual category for your purposes.

Sigh...lame.

On a side note... Philippinos are Asians too.... Just to point that out to you... And, no I don't know what you're talking bout, but then again I'm an Asian woman myself. I have had friends who have dated Asian women, and no we don't treat them as what you may say "THAT" guy... Why is it creepy though if a guy has preference set to dating Asians? :|

Maybe it is. But this happened to a neighbor of mine, and we roll in completely different circles. He dated an asian girl, and from then on his friends automatically assumed that he would be instantly attracted to any asian girl which passed, simply because she was asian.

Just sayin'.

You're right. This is a guy thing.

As far as showing a preference, statistically I've dated just as many non-asian girls as I have asian. And as far as long-term relationships, I've had more with non-asian girls. Now, one thing which could be a factor is that I teach martial arts, and have been to Japan. I don't have a 'preference' for asian women, I have a 'preference' for women whom I find attractive, be they asian or otherwise...

Wow. These replies are starting to get a little heated. Who would have thought that mentioning race would make people so angsty...?

Now this is just downright offensive, not to mention completely misses the mark of my original post. Seriously people, if you haven't experienced this then you haven't experienced it... why does it need to turn into some acerbic jab?

Aren't we all here for the conversations?

Sorry to say that really sound so bullshit but again it makes a good shit of generalisation. I have some caucasian male freinds who are just the opposite of what you describe in there, they are so into and ONLY date Asain girls. Dont look to them like a curse or any funnier than dating girls from other zone.

Well, I ate a big azz salad last night.

Hopefully that doesn't put me in one of those "THAT guy" categories!

So, moral of the story... Guys (who are non Asian), don't ever date Asian girls if you don't wanna be "cursed"...

Way to go to attempt to some stereotyping....

PS: I'll put this on my profile, so that every guy will be warned before they email me that I bring curse to them...
