Asia women are more alluring-wrong?

don't blame us, some white british guys (or european guys) are pretty attractive

What's an 'Asia woman'?

Well, exactly. What constitutes an asian woman? I'm a Dutch/English/Chinese mix, born and educated in England but still people refer to me as Asian and it drives me INSANE. In the same way it does when my family overseas label me as White.

Anyway when I first went to uni, the first thing one of my female flatmates said to me was "white guys really dig asian girls" ... A commonly circulated rumour I guess.

do you look asian? if you do your gonna be labelled asian.
And yea, white guys really do have a fetish for asian girls, i know tons.

Yes of course I look Asian. I also look White. People are just really ignorant.. I asked my black friend who is also born and raised in Britain if she would be offended if people called her African and she replied that of course she would. Anyway I digress. The point is, what actually constitutes as Asian? I have been classed as Asian because of my look, but my build is not slight (and neither is that of my brother) as we both take after our dad. My behaviour is certainly not Asian... What exactly is it that is attractive about Asian looking people?

It is not "of course". Some people do not look asian at all, some look completely asian with no trace of white in them. What constitutes as asian? Google search asian girls and compare it to yourself, do you look like that? I have friends that are half white and chinese. Some of them do not look chinese at all whereas others they look completely chinese

What do you mean build? You know people come in all shapes and sizes? You will find tall and short asian guys, same for white guys. You will also find asian guys that are extremely broad and masculine. And behavior, depends on where you are brought up. There is no "Asian" behavior - but stereotypically it is those that love anime, manga, going to photobooths... Most british asian girls are white washed anyway

My white guy friends are interested in asian girls because of their "exotic" look and because they assume they are "tight" down there.

Hahahha! You are being facetious for the sake of it. My answer is categorically 'no', I do not look like that, since I'm mixed race (repeating myself here I see).

When I talk about build I'm referring to the other reasons thrown out there earlier in the thread about why guys like Asian girls. I'm not saying they're all the same but it's a proven fact that Asian people have smaller frames and generally are more petite than westerners (they just lowered the BMI scale for Asians. Know what you're on about pls).

Correct, there is no ONE way that Asian women behave, or should behave. But, again, earlier in the thread they were talking about the quiet, docile stereotype that people perpetuate about Asians. I'm just saying I'm not like that and find it doubtful that, in the guys I've encountered anyway, that this is the reason why they like Asian women. There are quite a lot of women that are fools for men and can be completely controlled without being Asian.

yea kinda agree on average that asian people have smaller frames, lol i guess u dont know many british asians. Majority of my asian guy friends are 5"10+, in London that is. But the guys in their native country, yea they are kinda petite :/

You know what genes are?? Doesnt matter if you are mixed, you can look chinese and not look nothing like a white person

and don't know what that spoiler is for. I don't need cheering up. I am happy with my life, don't have any issues at the moment

Are you like 15? I don't know, all your posts read like an argument for the sake of it. Yeah well done I live in London too, where you live doesn't change your height Anyway not saying all, just saying most/whatev.

Yeeeeeeehhhh, not denying it's possible that they won't look Chinese at all blah blah whatever. Most Chinese-white you can tell what they are. Not saying its impossible, just improbable. Very likely you will display the genetic composition of both your parents.

The spoiler was because you come across as miserable as all hell. Goodnight.

Yes of course I look Asian. I also look White. People are just really ignorant.. I asked my black friend who is also born and raised in Britain if she would be offended if people called her African and she replied that of course she would. Anyway I digress.

Hmm I'd agree with you, I go to an international school so I have a couple friends like that as well, but I don't think they're third culture kids like you. I'm a bit of an oddity myself, I'm a one-and-a-half culture kid (I was born and raised in Hong Kong but my Cantonese is pretty crap). I do think languages have a huge influence on identity though, I understand Cantonese pretty fluently so I always know what's going on, I can just never say anything back.

I guess it's quite lucky you're doing A-levels, what with the crazy standards expected of education in this part of the world doing IB in China must be equivalent to a death wish (thank goodness for international schools). I, too have an asian mum... and I spent most of my childhood flitting between lessons in things! I guess I'm pretty lucky though, she just trusts me to get on with my work

I'm a British girl, and I find East Asian guys attractive - it's my preference! it's definitely not racist (unless you hate on every other race and insult them, which you don't seem to do )

I think it's really interesting you speak french as well, it isn't really a typical language in Asia. I quite regret my grandfather not teaching my father ukrainian, because I missed out on the opportunity to speak a really cool language. My mandarin was so rubbish I quit and started learning Spanish for my IB! I just had a really terrible teacher that totally ruined my motivation to learn, and I was never much good anyways. I really have no excuse with Cantonese, but after I started attending an english-speaking school full-time I just slowly stopped using it... I can get by but I'm lost for words really quite often .

I'm pretty lucky to be an all-rounder (probably from my parents making me learn just about everything when I was little) so I'm actually glad I'm doing IB even though it's hard work; I don't know how I would have managed to choose 4 subjects!

I guess as an only child my mum really invested in me, she used to repeat this 'mantra' to me every night in cantonese... "as long as you work hard, you will always succeed." I guess it stuck!

It's a shame that with all the "I find Asian (wo)men attractive" they mostly mean oriental. I feel the south Asians are underrepresented.

I'm Indian and like whiteboys but been told that's racist... So try not to say it out loud as much but is hard not to and to keep to myself. I hardly like any Indian men, would have to be really British coconuts, fussy about that. It is a preference. I can see why Japanese girls would be attractive, they're a lot more stylish and pale but even though I'm a girl who is only into men hmm not that many yellow men are as appealing

I know what you mean about the Mandarin, I guess there's an extra dimension for me since I understand Cantonese pretty well and can use it to a basic level (good enough for me to translate my school-level Chinese). The problem is when I hear Mandarin or try to use it I automatically translate it into Cantonese first, before Mandarin or vice versa... The three-way translation isn't too hard, it just slows me down so there's always a lag when I have to respond!

Oh no I do the full 6 subject IB, and some schools in the US do actually give credits for IB subjects because HL's are pretty much basic first year uni courses.... I just meant if I had had to do A levels I don't how I would have picked my AS subjects.... I wasn't too keen on my 6th subject (chemistry) but I actually really enjoy it, so I'm glad I didn't have to pigeonhole myself last year I take English, History, Biology (all HL's), Maths, Spanish and Chemistry (SL's), but I'm applying for archaeology and anthropology, which has no connection whatsoever to what I'm learning (just to make things easier at uni, NOT). Scotland would be kind of sneaky (I like it! ) but I don't think it would work for me since I've never lived in the UK. Besides, it's a bit late, my applications already gone....

The whole language you think in thing is probably what screws me up, I always think in English, since I'm not fluent enough to think coherently in either Cantonese or Mandarin, but it's easier for me to 'reach' for Cantonese when I'm trying to use it, and since it can be quite similar to Mandarin I can get mixed up and end up speaking a weird jumble of the two if I don't spend that extra second thinking about what I'm about to say! It must be incredibly difficult, having to take subjects in a different language, there's so much vocabulary that's subject specific and must really be quite difficult to process in a different language. I would have thought that the EU would place emphasis on teaching other European languages without teaching different subjects in different languages as well, that seems to be a good way to learn the language, but not necessarily excel in that subject if your language isn't that strong. I suppose I'm lucky, if I fail at a language that's the only class I have to worry about, without it messing up my other grades as well. An average must be tough, a really bad grade knocking everything else off as well would really suck.

Thank you I wish you the best of luck with your application(s) and choices, I'm just really glad to get it out of the way and I'm sure you will be too! Having said that, the waiting might be worse. I don't think your not-broadening of subject interests will cause you any regrets in the future, once I start university I'll probably forget most everything I'm learning now! Having to learn an awful lot of stuff on different subjects is interesting, but not conducive to developing good mental organisation or memory!!

My upbringing was as multiracial as it gets, besides speaking two languages at home my friends when I was young was from a mixed background as well, since we lived in an area with a lot of other expats and multi-racial people with different combinations. Hong Kong people don't really tend to judge on appearance, but more by behaviour, and since most multi-racial people tend towards the western side, culturally, we get treated a lot like pure white people do, although with fewer racial slurs about skin colour, and getting ripped off in the markets less when we speak chinese! I actually treat it as a bit of a game, I get my blonde-haired blue-eyed friends to ask for prices of knock-offs in the market, then when the shopkeepers try to rip them off spectacularly I swan in and start speaking chinese! The looks on their faces can be priceless. That, or they look ready to punch you. Most of the time it really depends on what language you speak. It's a bit of a shame, but I've noticed quite a few multi-racial kids speaking english and sacrificing their other native language (me included), mostly due to the international school environment, but then there are always people that aren't from an english-speaking background at all and only speak it at school. Really there's just a huge amount of diversity and almost everyone is really tolerant of it and accepting, it's pretty great.

I suppose in Europe there's greater hostility towards asians, but when I was in the UK I didn't really notice any... what have you had to deal with? I know quite a few asians that have moved overseas to Europe as well as the UK, USA and Canada... I haven't really heard much about it.
