Tired Of All The "Asian" Threads

[JohnW]

Hi,

Well, I'll start off by introducing a little about myself. My name's John, and I've just started going to college this September. I'm Chinese, and I was born and raised in the United Kingdom for my entire life.

 

I don't know how I stumbled upon this site, but I was intrigued when I came across this forum. You could say that I was shocked when I read a few of the threads concerning Asians i.e Why don't Caucasian women like Asian men? Why do Caucasian men like Asian men?

 

Myself, being an Asian man have had no problems whatsoever towards Caucasian or Asian women at all. Despite what other posts say, I as an individual, am NOT short. I'm much the same as my other Caucasian friends in terms of height and build.

 

Now, when I finished browsing a few posts, I strongly got the impression that they were aimed to put down Asian men in general. They don't say constuct or give out much advice, they simply say that "Asian men are undesirable" or "Asian men are short." which just digs them deeper and deeper into a bigger hole. No wonder a lot of Asian men on these fourms or in real life lack confidence.

 

I am confident, assertive and out-going, that's just the way I am, and the way God made me. My message is that: I don't even see why ethnics should matter. It's all down to your personality. Asian men need to stop reading about these sterotypes, and just be yourself. As I said earlier, I have no problem with women whatsoever. Despite what previous posts say, I've had both Asian and Caucasian women attracted towards me, and I've turned them down as I saw fit. I am selective and I'm not a desperate man when it comes to a relationship.

 

As an added note, some of my friends have asked me whether I'm 50% or 75% Asian at some points. I don't know why, but I presume it's because of my build, appearance and attitude which may be different to the typical stereotyped Asian. I guess you could say that I'm quite fortunate to be this way.

 

Bottom line: It's the personality that counts. And I don't mean that in some sort of desperate "discarding physical appearance" way. Sure physical appearance counts too, but that certainly won't carry you through a potential relationship.

 

Thanks,

-JohnW

i think the point is that these are people's opinions, which they have every right to have.

 

no one can say "it is definite that asian men are undesirable to all people" but one can certainly say "i find asian men undesirable" if that is how they feel...and some do.

One thing about this place is, everybody has an opinion and they're all different. You may/may not agree with what others think/feel but it's their right as a LS poster to share their own thoughts on the subject.

 

Don't take anything personally, just keep an open mind, that's my advice if you're gonna stick around! Have fun!

I think out of the 56,000 + threads you'll find maybe four or five about Asians. You'll also find threads about gay folks, black folks, anal sex, penis size, and all manner of other threads on which there may be posts with which you don't agree.

thanks for writing JohnW. But yeah, I agree with you that it does get a little much. But oh well, everyone loves to find excuses when they're not successful in the dating scene. But, seriously, all this gets old after a while.

I said Asians were hot ! ...so who were you referring to ??? ( Does not matter anyway )

This is Love Shack... we post all kinds of things.

 

Havent you seen the thousands of posts about breakups. ?

 

Very few threads or original posts are about Asians.

 

I just added my 2 cents worth when they asked what I thought about Asian men.

 

But one area where you are incorrect is that a vast proportion of Asian men are short( er ). Any type of race who is short might have a small problem getting dates as a larger proportion of women prefer someone taller than themselves ( but not all women feel that way ) . Just like large men or men who smell funny or a million other reasons they might not be as dateable ( For the record I like large men.. so to make that clear too )

I dont discriminate against men unless they are a**holes....
