I don't think it's at all in the vein of racism or anything like that. I don't think it's meant to be offensive (although I understand completely why it would be offensive). <br /> <br />I think gay white men date or marry Asian women (women from Asia, not Asian American women) because these women come from a more submissive culture. So, they are more likely to be naive and trusting and will not suspect that their boyfriend or husband is gay. <br /><br />Also, and THIS I find racist, is the whole "exoticification" of Asian women which infuriates me to no end. So, a gay white dude who lands an Asian girlfriend thinks he's throwing people off his trail by having an exotic female on his arm that is, again another stereotype, that Asian women are more into sex. It's all so stupid. <br /><br />However, like I said, it unfortunately, turns out to be true more often than not.<br /><br />I wish these guys could find the courage to come out and not use women.

When I've found this blog and I would like to contribute my own observation and experience with this matter. I know several gay friends who dated Asian women and even married them, and their marriages ended in divorce. I myself was attracted by Asian women just because I felt that they were less aggressive sexually, and also because I found them exotic. I think that more scientific research should be done on this matter to find out the many reasons of this phenomenon and also to help Asian women to not fall prey and used by gay men who want to cover up their sexuality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-45689767616365397102010-10-09T02:01:16.048-04:002010-10-09T02:01:16.048-04:00(cont'd)

They look down on other Asians and appear arrogantly proud that they have achieved something in their life that others can't. <br /><br />Need proof, just checkout the "Casual Encounters" section, and almost every single Asian whore there wants only "wealthy" old white guy, if not, just white as their first preference This is a prostitute for Christ sake.<br /><br />It is not just Asians, even East Indians girls are equally screwed up.

It made me remember something I've been meaning to share with you but kept forgetting - I have a friend in Beijing who's white and lesbian, and I was talking about the Middlesex passage with her one time & she replied that before she came out she only dated Asian guys. Her explanation was that when you're still in denial about your sexuality, you start making up explanations like, "Oh, it's not that I'm not into guys...I'm just not into *white* guys." So then you only date, say, Asian guys, and then something still doesn't feel right & eventually you hopefully realize the truth. Anyway, I thought that was a pretty interesting explanation for this whole phenomenon.Evelinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-34047059018508238572009-09-10T13:08:57.936-04:002009-09-10T13:08:57.936-04:00I have no idea as to how I found your blog and I h...I have no idea as to how I found your blog and I hope it is not to late. <br />I have to say that yes it is disturbing to have another minority make such a comment. However, I notice that often certain elasticities tend to hold their own bias and treat other minorities as if they aren't humans with feelings. I know because I am a woman of color but often I look a little "foreign" to other blacks. I have had similar incidents.<br />The stereotype you mentioned is one of which I have never heard. Yet, I think her audacity was much more jealousy as opposed to anything else. Why else would she pretend to have recognized your boyfriend and then throw a horrible stereotype about Asian women in your face? <br /> In my opinion, you should take it as a compliment because you clearly have something she desires. Whether it is your boyfriend, or your beauty, something disturbed her. <br /> You did the right thing by walking away, as opposed to stooping to her level.msdayhttp://baldheadgirl.ning.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-6029212634738193662009-08-17T20:30:04.473-04:002009-08-17T20:30:04.473-04:00Well, I tend to feel that minorities should be mor...Well, I tend to feel that minorities should be more empathetic and sympathetic to stereotypes, racism, and prejudice of other minorities, so that's why it bothered me a little more that it was a black, gay hostess who made the comment, but I still would have been really pissed if it came from someone white.

There are several things being said at once.<BR/><BR/>First, there is an aesthetic metric, whatever the source, biological, sociological, a mixture, etc, that allows us to identify certain features as masculine or feminine. Regardless of where it comes from, we are able to instantly identify clearly feminine or clearly masculine features in another person. <BR/><BR/>Given that, it is on average the case that the *absolute* sexual dimorphism among Asians is less pronounced than it is in most other groups. <BR/><BR/>That isn't to say that Asian women are masculine in appearance (which is for instance the case among the stocky Germanic women) or that Asian men are feminine in appearance. It simply speaks about the degree to which feminine features are expressed in Asian women, and similarly, the degree to which masculine features are expressed in Asian men. And what it says is that on an absolute scale, Asian women are on average not particularly feminine in appearance, while Asian men are on average not particularly masculine in appearance. In other words, both sexes deviate little from an androgynous center. <BR/><BR/>The claim being made is that men who are gay, one's who are either not consciously aware of it, or not out of the closet about it yet, look to Asian women as a compromise between internal psychological attraction, and an external social pressure to be heterosexual. <BR/><BR/>Whether the claim about gay men is true or not is a different question from whether Asians are generally androgynous (i.e. possessing sexually ambiguous features). One could argue that gay men should rather be dating a Helga from Weisbaden, or an Astride from Stockholm than a women from Beijing or Tokyo if that were the case. But if closeted gay men are indeed seeking out Asian women, then one must ask the question of whether gay men are after masculinity, or androgyny. Think about it. How many gay men that you know are particularly masculine?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-26326267449064792622008-03-01T15:09:00.000-05:002008-03-01T15:09:00.000-05:00I think, bigger picture, there is a crisis in male...I think, bigger picture, there is a crisis in male heterosexual identity leaving it open to attack from all sides. Without strong examples of a "mans man" for straight guys to follow out there, the weird witch-hunt for closeted gay men goes unchecked. Point to any male role model and there's been a rumor or joke that "he's gay" - from the president, down to actors, sports figures, and business tycoons. It's now practically impossible to live in the modern world as a guy without an onslought of "maybe you're gay" rules of thumb levied as a sort of dis.<BR/><BR/>As examples I list the following witch-hunt assumptions usually said in jest with just a hint of "its funny cuz its true" wink and nod:<BR/><BR/>1. Date a submissive girl? Maybe you don't want her to object to your "secret". You might be gay.<BR/>2. Like to smoke? you like putting phallic things in your mouth. you might be gay.<BR/>3. like to play sports? you like rolling around with other men. you might be gay.<BR/>4. Like to watch football? you like watching men in tight pants rolling around in the grass. you might be gay.<BR/>5. Like to go to the gym? You're into getting buff with other men. you might be gay. <BR/>6. Like fashion? follow mens magazines suggestions of what to wear? if you are too up to date on fashion - you might be gay.<BR/>7. Creative? Sensitive? you might be gay.<BR/>8. Dislike gay people? or make a disparaging remark about gays? you might be gay.<BR/>9. Buy "product" for your skin, hair, or body? dude, that's metrosexual, and practically gay.<BR/><BR/>I swear, its practically a comedy routine - the next "you might be a redneck if..."<BR/><BR/>For the record, having a big belt buckle does not, in fact, make you a red-neck. And dating an asian woman does not, in fact, make you gay. Being born gay makes you gay. Getting turned on by guys makes you gay. <BR/><BR/>Getting turned on by girls (no matter what the race) is not gay. Sorry gay trannies in New York City.

I guess I should check my site meter more often.<BR/><BR/>I am well aware of the white guy asian girl thing--I've dated men who I have later found to have Asian fetishes. I'm now hyperaware of what it looks like when I date non-Asians, and not that it matters, but I've dated the same number of asians and caucausians, as well as had relationships with blacks and latinos along the way. But I think it's a shame that if I end up with a white guy, some people will always think that it's because I'm one of "those Asians who likes white guys." I know they exist, just as anyone has their preferences for what a person looks like physically (okay, okay, I know it sometimes goes beyond that), but of course it's not like that for everyone. And of course that's the frustration with stereotypes. I couldn't believe that the hostess was saying all of this period, but also saying it all in my face. She was basically telling me that I should doubt the sexuality of any guy I'm with, that I'm passive, that I prefer to be with white men.<BR/><BR/>Most people I've told this story to hadn't heard the gay man asian woman thing before.
