Do white women date asian men?

by **jm91** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:20 pm

Relevant to the other white woman thread (and I am not a troll) - Do white women in cambodia date asian men?
I live in china and the single white women here complain about the lack of eligible men to date.
Most of the women I know here in china say the local men are too shy or they are not manly enough (not sure what that means) or they are not attracted to them for various reason and the white guys are chasing after the chinese girls or are alcoholics and not worth dating.

What about cambodia? Do white women ever date local khmer men?

I had a friend here in china and who was married to a australian/chinese guy she met in Australia. She told me that she felt stigmatized in Australia for having married an asian man. It was OK for asian women to marry a white guy (or a white guy to marry an asian woman) but not the other way round.

Very rarely.

They seem to go black before they go asian.

I wonder if the men in their respective countries are good enough for them or if they COMPLAIN about them too?

I know several western women with Khmer husbands here, but it seems it takes the ladies a little longer to go native than the gents do. It's also proportionally less than the other way around, but it still happens.

Just my observation and a generalisation but from the couples that i know (very limited sample set), the men seem to enjoy the more rational nature of western women and their enthusiasm for getting out and doing stuff, whilst the women seem to like the more attentive, family focused nature of Khmer men. So really it's very similar to the none superficial reasons for the attraction between western men and Khmer women.

I just wish khmer guys would try to more actively date/marry white chicks. Thay way I could be left with a bigger pool of local candidates.

On a serious note I'd be interested on white girls' input on this as it is pretty rare. A few go native, but it's proportionally dwarfed when comparing to white guys. A straightforward answer (if possible) would be cool. Maybe they find bridging the cultural gap more difficult? Or maybe in western cultures where the standards of the burly macho man and the feminine princess are idealized since birth, Asian men fail to meet the standard while Asian women manage to pass the feminimity test with flying colours...?

In the melting pot that is Toronto, there are definitely White women with Asian guys. But they certainly don't go after them like they do Black guys. Mind you Asian guys in Canada may be 2nd or 3rd generation, speak English and are usually quite successful. And after being raised on western diets they are also bigger than the average Asian in Asia. Woman do prefer somebody taller than them don't they? But the White girls sure aren't struck with Yellow Fever like their male counterparts.

I dated a Khmer man for 2 years and know several western women with Khmer partners/husbands. Khmer men tend to be shy and romantic with western woman and the women love how family orientated they are. If the language barrier is not to big there is often depth in the conversation as well. Most of this experience is based on the quieter Siem Reap countryside men, I don't know any with rich Khmer husbands in Phnom Penh.

Oh, no. The engagement to the tuk tuk driver fell through?

Would have been nice if you had come back at the time of break up to tell us we were right. Some of us live for that sort of thing.

Just looked at that topic, and found what I believe is the first and only thread where the OP has been thorough enough to delete her EVERY post.

Well done.

Strangely I thought of you gavinmac when I made the decision! But I thought it might be too egotistical to assume anyone actually cared, so I never posted about it! Anyway ... small willy, seems black is better.
