Interracial dating
Are asians just unattractive to caucasians?
I am Asian, I feel that caucasian women don't me a second glance, nor would consider dating me. I mean... how many interracial couples do you see where the guy is asian, and the girl is white. It could just be because I'm ugly.
PS - I've seen that humourous video 'Yellow Fever' already!

What do you mean by Asian? Near East/Indian Subcontinent or Far East/Oriental?
Either way most of the mixed-race relationships I've seen have been white girls and various blokes (and, once, another girl).

If by Asian you mean East Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc), I know a few white girls who are attracted to you (including myself), but I know far more who prefer other races.
East Asian guys get a bad rep - people think they're too absorbed in maths, or too quiet, or all short, or have abnormally small penises. In North America (my only point of reference), the typical boy is raised to be tough and strong and into certain sports, but the ideals/behaviors held as important in many Asian cultures are not the same. Therefore, at least in America, I think Asian boys/men tend to get a reputation for not being as tough and manly.
Another thing is that in places with large Asian populations, the Asian people tend to stick together, often speaking their own languages. In places where a lot of these groups first generation or came here when they were younger, a lot of them are not welcoming or kind to white people and do not really seem perceptive (matter of fact, they can get quite hostile) to mixed race (Asian + Another race) couples.
I live in a very diverse city and I hardly ever see Asian men with white girls. I figure it's a mix of hostility/unwelcoming attitudes on the part of Asian men and stereotypes on the part of the white people.
As a white person myself, I was under the impression that a lot of Asian guys weren't so into non-Asian girls anyway. I usually don't even make an effort with them...

I'm in the kind of relationship you described 
Do you actually socialise with any white girls? I wouldn't have said I was really that attracted to Asian men until I met my current boyfriend.

asian guys are hot- end of.
sorry but i def wouldnt go for asian guys..nothing against them just not my type thats all!
I have a friend who is half Indian, half portuguese, dunno if you would count him as Asian, he's not actually my boyfriend but he could be if i didn't already have one.
My boyfriend is Asian and he's delicious 
we've been together two years!

I quite like asian guys. My ideal man would be a tall asian and intelligent (and preferably works as a doctor)
Not asking for too much then!

Soooo, you'd start seeing him once he qualifies and then dump him as soon as he retires, right?

They really aren't.
Maybe a lot of it is cultural and religious differences? I'm assuming by "Asian" you mean Pakastanis, Indians etc - I exclude Orientals here. Like, a lot of asians are very asian and not very westernised - so there will be cultural issues if he dated a white girl, family disapproval etc, I imagine. Asian parents don't tend to like their kids dating white people, is the impression I have. There's also the sterotype that asian guys are macho, which could put some girls off, and other asians such as Muslims, Sikhs, are not allowed to date - this depends on what caste (sp?) they're from I think, as I've met a Muslim girl who've dated her English bf very openly, but I've also got a Muslim good friend who I know is not allowed to date according to Islam. And a lot of asian guys like girls from their own religion, and most Muslims/Hindus/Sikhs tend to be asians as far as I'm aware. Asians nowadays also generally have a bad rep with regards to terrorism etc, and some people believe asian families to be too extreme or congregate too much, stemming from prejudice, of course, but again this has something to do with the rep asians generally have and some parents don't like their kids dating asians. And a lot of asian families don't believe in dating, or they don't want their children to date til after university, which might explain why we don't see many interracial couples in terms of asians and whites. My Hindu friend's still unsure as to whether her mum would approve if she ever dated, and my Sikh friend doesn't believe in dating full-stop. My Muslim friend whom I've mentioned wants to date but her parents won't even let her access the internet or in fact go out to town with her friends, let alone date.
^the above are all speculation by the way, so don't take it as facts. Just people I've met etc as there's a huge asian population around the area where I live.

Nope - nothing to do with 'caste' whatsoever. Muslims, as a general rule, aren't allowed to date. However, that doesn't mean to say that all Muslims don't date.
I am yet to find an asian guy that floats my boat.
Or a black guy for that matter.
I wouldn't rule them out or anything (well, yes, of course I would, I'm married, but you know what I mean) - I have an open mind that one day I might fancy somebody that isn't white, but so far it hasn't happened.
I'm not racist about it though, I have no problem with different skin-types/religions/cultures dating.
