As time progresses to my late teens and early 20's, I went out with three more Mexican/American girls, a Swiss girl, a French/Vietnamese, and two older Asian women (one from Taiwan - 33, and an Asian/American from Berkeley, CA - 37, I was between 20 and 23 at the time). Again, fast-forward to age 25, I got into my first serious relationship with an Irish/American. She was a full-blown blond, green-eyed, tall and also a bit older. A real nice person to be around with for a very long time, we had the best of times, but eventually we've parted. I now look back and thought to myself; I had it all, and as a Chinese-American fellow I didn't knew or felt anything negative other than the norm. I guess I was just being myself and cherished life. I don't know, but maybe people see me as a person that loves life and cherishes his surroundings. My only flaw (I think) was that I got bored very easily during a relationship, I should be married by now but I'm not. I am more serious these days and have been in a serious relationship with my girlfriend (a Middle/Eastern girl) for 9 years now.

I don’t get it, these stories really; people crying, complaining, other people making fun and the stereotyping. I Read them and I laughed. So, as an Asian guy, I'm not complaining. It is amusing to me reading the article, especially towards the person who wrote it.

When I read about that article it kind of remind me of my prior days of thinking.Back then, I wanted my ideal man must be at least 6'1-6'5, about 230 lbs,must have a great since of humor. Even though I had these then qualities for him to have, I didn't discriminate on who it had to be for. At that time I wanted all races of men to fit this criteria. I was young with a then abstract way of thinking.

As a child, I watched STAR TREK. There were three characters on that show that I liked on there, Dr.Spock( Leonard nimoy), Uhuru( Nichelle Nichols) and Sulu( George Takei). My mom and I would watch this program because of them. Spock( i thought that he was unique) Uhuru( I thought that she was pretty Black woman and not having barely any Black models her image really helped me ) and then there was Sulu.( That man has a very sexy voice). I liked to hear him talk and not he wasn't bad looking either.

Far as my initial impressions of Asian men,I knew most of them from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The Vietnamese tripped me out.They seemed( At least the ones that I've met)were so full of life. Far as men, I found them to be sexy because of how they they talked. The Asian Guys I came across had deep sexy voices. Some were short some were average height and one or two was over 6 feet,but no mstter how they looked their way of talking just made them look good.

Since I can remember I've always lead a diverse life. I guess because how i lived and what my folks taught me about life. I've been attracted to all races, nationalities. It did matter. I've been attracted to an african-american man with one leg. He was cute and such a great guy--the predominate reason that I liked him.

From initial glances, we see the outsides of the person,but I try my best to see people from the heart. I don't " look" for men, I let nature take it's course. If it's meant for me to get married,have kid or to be single for the rest of my life, and if he just happens to be Black/non-Black that's all good.

I believe that some people may miss out on finding the loves of their lives is because ,for some they may have frivolous expectations of what they want in their spouses.
I have looked at several IR websites and for the most part i enjoy going on them. While there are some people who are sincerely on there to celebrate their love, there are some others who are stereotypical about why they want to be in one . Love isn't just an emotion, it's kind, colorblind, long suffering,tolerant and beautiful.

For the time being, I love the single life, but for any man that I get, I would like for him to be a respectful individual who understand the meaning of commitment, to see me as his equal, to love me, his family and his community--Just a man that people would look up to.Any man can be this.

White women and men are preferred because whiteness still denotes power and all us sad little monkeys will always scramble to "get with" what's powerful. Power=Beautiful, which is why whites are looked at as beautiful, with even people of color being considered "prettier" if they have more European features, Halle Berry anybody?

Asian women are adored and Asian men are abhorred because Asians as a whole are stereotyped as submissive and "feminine."

I think Black men are adored and Black Women are abhorred is because people of African descent, both men and women, are stereotyped with "hyper-masculine" qualities, which descend from the slavery era. This is why The Black Boyfriend is the ultimate bad boy for white women and why white guys secretly love but are scared to death of black women.

I'm a white woman who finds guys of different races attractive but I only seriously dated white guys, and if I'm perfectly honest with myself it's because deep down I know I would lose a healthy amount of white privilege if I ever entered into a serious relationship with a person of color.

Not true! I''m a white man and I generally prefer black women to white women and so do some others I know. Most of the black women I have known have ben far from the stereotypes that are pushed in the media and were beautiful, feminine and generally a delight to be with.

Don't believe the hype....

Asian guys just need to step it up and they'll be fine...

Learn from other Asian males who just get it.

Where can you find guys like this?

==>Asian Pimp Status

But I am open to ANY race. Have dated Hispanics, Asians, Whites, and Blacks....even a nice Indian gentleman (from India...I loved his cooking!).

All I have to say is....assholes and bad men (cheaters, abusers, running from child support/their children, etc) come in ALL races/colors.
