White girls and Asian guys?

[Tesserax]

Yo, caucasian girls (I guess gay guys too), would you date an asian guy? Do you find them attractive?

Don't want pity or lies, just answer truthfully so I have an understanding of the spread of girls and how many would be willing, if not all.

I've just had a hard time figuring out if I've just been too much of a douchebin my younger years or if girls just don't like Asian guys, so hopefully this will help me clarify, thanks!

I know loads of asian guys with white girlfriends buddy.

I fins asian guys very attractive and would date one if I knew one that was gay. The few asian boys at my school are straight and have girlfriends

This is utterly absurd and ridiculous as a question. How are a handful of results on an Internet forum going to show anything. And besides, how many girlfriends do you want?

Steps to how this will work in reality;

1) Become good friends with girls, lots of them. Treat them like other people, not another species.
2) If you find yourself attracted both physically and emotionally to one of said friends, see if they are interested.
3) This INDIVIDUAL will then either reject you based on your race (if they are racist), or more likely your personality or attractiveness to them.

To say 'do white girls like Asian guys' is simply unanswerable and irrelevant in practice.

As I'm not Caucasian I obviously don't have a say in this anyway but if I were allowed an opinion on it it would be something along:

This hit the spot.

I date people regardless of race. If they are racist and reject you because of your background, it's in your best interest to move on (works the other way around as well).

1) I have, and I personally feel like I'm being treated as the member of another species, not the other way around
2) I have, and so far none of my actual close friends have shared the same feelings
3) I wanted to know if people were indeed racially selective when considering a partner

For your other points:
The question is not unanswerable. That's like saying the question "Do Asians eat more rice than whites?" is unanswerable. I'm simply questioning if racial bias has an effect.

Also "a handful of results on an internet forum" are actually very useful. Generally after 20(?) the chances are you have a pretty good spread of people, assuming that the expect results fit into a normal distribution curve. You'd get a general idea of where the "mean" is and the "standard deviation" from just a few people. Obviously the best is to get a bigger sample size, which is why I've also consulted other people and places, and so far (on the 18th of June) it seems that the average is about "Yeah I would probably (more likely than not) date an Asian guy, and they're not bad looking (leaning towards the good side", and a little bit of deviation each side to "Fuck that" and "Fuck me"

Well given that the consensus is entirely behind what I said...

May I suggest that if you are being treated like a different species then it's most likely your personality that isn't likeable (imagine that!). Which country are you from?

The question is unanswerable. To use your example, rice is rice. It's one substance that doesn't change bowl to bowl if cooked the same way. Defining a preference can be done by looking at sales figures and availability of alternatives.

You ignore my other key points that have even been quoted by others.

May I also suggest that you do not throw around statistical terms without understanding the process involved. For a global generalisation about racial bias of Caucasian girls against Asian boys a sample size of 20 would be massively too small. You'd introduce all sorts of Type 1/2 errors and false findings.

Culture, country, religion, personal preference, physical attractiveness of the individual, which part of Asia, what exact facial features, etc. The confounding variables unaccounted for are far too numerous to run your pseudo-experiment.

AND IRRELEVANT IN PRACTICE.

I know you want some clear cut answer that either nobody or everbody loves/hates dating Asians. But that implies every girl is identical and that you are identical to every other asain boy. Attraction and love don't work like that. People don't work like that.

Reread my steps to how attraction works in reality. Take a long hard look in the mirror and stop seeing race as an issue. I guarantee unless you are living in a country as the oppressor race or there's some deep-seated racial hatred, nobody who isn't racist really gives a damn. And if they do, as others have told you, then they aren't worth your time to begin with.

If you want me to clarify:
Born in Malaysia with Chinese blood, but I've lived in Australia all my life and consider myself to be Australian.

While admittedly over the last year I had become a nuisance, I have been working recently (and clearly succeeding because I managed to land myself a date with a really nice white girl) to improve myself. However, I decided to conduct this small survey (not an experiment) anyway to try and see if there is indeed a racial issue when it comes to it, because the majority of white girls seem to just be like "No" but the Asian girls are a little bit too eager. So far the spread of results tells me no, there generally isn't a problem. I probably had just built up a bad reputation around my school.

And no, I actually don't want some clear cut answer of whether or not people actually like dating Asians, I thought I had made that clear but apparently not. I simply wanted to know the spread of responses you'd get if you asked the question "Would you date an Asian person?" disregarding background information. The point was to see if race is a significant factor in the choosing of one's partner, which it does not appear to be. It would be the same if I asked "Would you date somebody under 5ft 4in?". It is taking a specific branch of a specific factor and exploring the effect it has on people's decision making.

I apologize if I offended you in any way to be antagonized as I appear to have been. I wrote this poll late last night, and I replied to you early this morning, both times when I'm incredibly tired. Also, I didn't mean to just throw out statistical vocab, I've learned about the normal distribution from math and I've seen enough to realize that if you have a small sample and you actually see a pattern that seems to fit the normal curve, then it is likely that the larger sample will fit the same curve simply because that's the way probability works. I know it's not like that 100% of the time, which is why I'm not taking this poll as concrete proof, I would never do that. It simply gives me a general idea of what I'm looking at.

Hey man, I just want to say I am an Asian guy (Filipino) and every girl I have ever dated has been Caucasian. I understand in certain places it could put you at a disadvantage, believe me I know I grew up in the south. You just have to have confidence in yourself and who you are. Trust me, if you're not confident you really do give off a certain vibe that people don't find appealing, if you're confident people sense it and they want to be around it. Good luck my fellow Asian brother.

Ehhhh people have different tastes and for me , I'm gay btw, Id rather date a white or Spanish guy. There are times when I find an asian guy handsome but I still don't date one u know what I mean.

Your question is basically asking wether someone is accepting of any given race, or is a racist. GeoLf5zRo8Y

I like black people. I don't fancy myself dating black women. I'm not racist, I just have an in-built preference based on what I find attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[LanaPole]

i don't mind dating asian guys. Some of them are quite cute, like Japanese guys. I got a friend whos half asian and he looks very cute and exotic. Many girls (white) like him.

i don't think you can say someone is racist just because they're not attracted to some other people sexually. different people have different tastes. Not dating people of a race doesn't mean that you hate people from that race. i don't think im attracted to muslims who wear their thing... the head coverings and whatever... It's weird to me.

[Typhlosion]

A friend of mine has a big thing for asians, but he's from Brazil, and bisexual :P

I find having a racial preference's racist because you find their physical features more desirable than that of another race (not giving them a chance despite their interests or personality traits), therefore, you are essentially claiming that their superficial qualities would make it impossible for you to form an emotional connection with them. Even if you were rejected by someone from the past, you don't generalize and say that every other "..." person is going to be like them. This also has an impact on people and younger kids thinking that their skin color or features is not wanted by anyone (whether they're taught by the media or personal experiences) and it fucking sucks.

Racial preferences reduce people to their ethnicity and reinforce racial hierarchies by insinuating that race alone is a powerful enough factor to negate everything else that someone has to offer. - Erin Tatum

I say just be open minded.

My experience, I've dealt with a lot of 'no fats, fems, queens, spice, or rice' dating in the gay community and it's just as bad. For instance, I've had a guy who was only interested in me for my race, nothing else. He thought I looked "exotic" and "different" (we call that fetishizhing). Even more so, the opposite like...

"You're so handsome..You don't look Asian."
"I don't really go for Asian guys... but you're an exception."
"You can't be fully Asian. You look cute like some kind of mixed race."
"You're not like other Asian men."

and I'm just like... get the fuck out, bye felicia.

i think you're reading a bit too much in to it, eish.

To answer your the OP question, I have absolutely no objections to dating asian dudes. Although people are going to have ethnically driven preferences, you hit the nail square on the head when you said It would be the same if I asked "Would you date somebody under 5ft 4in?". It is taking a specific branch of a specific factor and exploring the effect it has on people's decision making.
