Interracial Couples

[quote author="bkshopr" date=1246421883]Why is it that a majority of Asian interracial relationship are Asian women with other non Asian ethnicity and seldom Asian men with other non Asian ethnicity ?</blockquote>


I've always noticed this too. Notice the Woodbury advertising is mainly of a couple-Asian wife and Caucasian Husband. When you walk through Woodbury you see this type of couple in real ilfe too. We call them the Woodbury Wasians. My best friend is Korean. She married a white guy she met while attending prestigious University. Ivy league schools are still predominantly a white boys club. They are the popular ones and many come from high society families. Maybe marrying one is like getting a LV bag.

How do you know? You might be 44 but you're not dead yet. Sometimes life will throw you some curve balls.</blockquote>


Dude you are 44. You are young. Men can still have kids in their 70s.</blockquote>


Yeah, look at Larry King. The guy just had a baby and he was in his late 70's...

Asian Men, Size 4 shoe, dominant, mundane, predictable and boring.....
 
Guess I am the only one who selected same ethnicity but different culture.. So far no problems. Sometimes we do have issues, esp when parents are around- his want me to follow their ways, mine want him to follow at least the important ones.
 
Irvine certainly is a Global Village, I'm not 100% sure what ethnicity is the majority, other than the generic term Asians.



Here is my my anecdotal evidence:



- School is over, and one week later many ethnic families are doing international travel to visit their home countries and planning to stay there for weeks, this is a common pattern, every summer is the same thing, few families stay here: My kids classmates are traveling to: Japan, China, Mexico, Philippines, Iran.



- The 1st grade teacher of one my kids asked to the class to bring the translation of "flower" to the language that they speak at home, 14 different language translations came in.
 
Bk as Hantien and Blythe demonstrated there are a growing number of white blonds who are hopping on the Asian male train. There was a good video on Youtube, something like ?Why does White males love Asian women?. It?s a telling satirical commentary on the subject. I personally feel most Asian-American men are a great catch; the word is really starting to get out. Asian men should feel more comfortable and confident to ask out that cute blond!
 
On the subject of work ethics and relationships; I love how my wife keeps me very balanced. This is a generalization of course. But Asian American men have a tendency to over-work, over perform at the workplace, because their wives are materialistic, high maintenance, slave drivers. I think a lot of white guys are starting to find that out! White girls love things too; but not at the expense of family and relationships. I love that my wife encourages me to stay home and really knows how to de-stress me. All that allows me do is to work smarter. I just can?t imagine marrying a traditional Asian wife; she probably be ok with my workaholic tendencies, in which case, I won?t invest in the relationship and I?d probably end up having an affair like most Taiwanese men do.



I?m also curious about other dynamics out there between other interracial couples with different cultures?

Of course you do - you're Asian! Great job giving yourself a pat on the back. :lol:



P.s. I would like to add that white women are a great catch. haha!
 
Well, I for one cast my vote for the English man American woman pairing. After living in the UK for a few years, *all* of my single English male friends have settled down with American women. (I must have set a good example.) Most of them now live over here. The culture differences actually complement each other nicely, as the brit male/yank female are well suited to APPRECIATE each other. Brit men are reserved to the point of stoicism, <em>value</em> women in a way a lot of American men don't, and often have that dry british sense of humor. And lest we forget... that ACCENT!



July 4th (tee hee) marks my 6th wedding anniversary. I love my brit.
 
From historical point of view, it's a pattern that women tend to marry up the socio-economic ladder, or to the dominate culture/ethnic group. Marrying down the socio-economic ladder is considered dysgenic. Where skin color and ethnicity is not a factor, discrimination in heightism and other attributes still exist. Culturally, we take a small minority of the population as the "desired standard" that everyone else must match up to, which is unrealistic. Women know this quite well, they're matched against impossible standards and expectation to stay young. For men, it's a simple struggle up the socio-economic ladder. There are millions of women around the globe who'd be happy to meet an established man from first world country, you just need to work hard and think internationally. I recommend reading a few blog entries at Ladislav's blog here:

Commenting on the Asian men topic, East Asian men have married interracially long before the current AF/WM coupling thing. Taiwan is an island with population of 22 million, and has over 400,000 "import brides" from countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. One in eight children born in Taiwan is from an interracial couple. For East Asian men to complain about interracial marriages is like a pot calling the kettle black. And if anyone doesn't think Chinese/Taiwanese-Vietnamese marriage is interracial, I'd note that only Americans lump the world's ethnicities into "White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black".



Interracial brides are so common in East Asia that they even made TV dramas about it:

Did Janet strike again??
 
Honestly, I could care less about ethnicity and culture when it comes to dating. It comes down to if the person is easy on the eyes to me and, more importantly, if she is as cool as ice. Do have height limitations...I can't date a girl over 5'10" because I'll feel short (even though I'm over 6') and I can't date a girl under 5' because it'll kill my back. haha

Oh, it was worse. Supposedly, S/he was a 15 yr. old from Shady Canyon. The person was going wacko after finding what USCman did. He was letting people thru the gates as long as he's paid a peanut butter & jam sandwich. Haha!

I agree. It shouldn't be about race when you're getting to know someone. It's more about if the 2 people have much in common. For example, if HS teacher likes shrimp paste and his European gf can't stand it. Then chances are the relationship is not going to work out.

[quote author="working poor" date=1246423584]Socal78,

Very true. But I plan on marriage then children if it is in my future. With that being said, I imagine that I will most likely marry a lady with children.



Bkshopr,



Good question, for me the schools would not matter other than the area is clean and once the economy pick ups that maybe I would see some appreciation upon selling the home.



As for timing in buying a home, I will hold off awhile longer based on the fact that I may pick up and move if the right opportunity presents itself. Because of my lack of a formal education I have to depend on my work experience to climb the ladder within the industry I am in.</blockquote>


I am looking for a husband for my best friend from Sri Lanka who would bear you many fine children. I can set you up my friend.



USC.... last chance.
