All right. I'm finally going to publish what my friends and I have been saying for years. I'm finally going to clue you in to the plight all Asian Men face. Have you ever noticed that an Asian Guy is never the stud on campus? Have you noticed that a lot of Asian Guys just don't seem to be the most popular with the ladies? Hey, if you're a girl, have you ever noticed that you just don't think of the Asian guys you know as being prime candidates for a serious relationship?

Is this because Asian guys are more shallow or less respectful than everyone else? Is it because they're not as capable as anyone else? No, it's because God hates us.

By the time you're done reading this, you'll know that The Curse of the Asian Man is very real, very ironic, and is far-reaching. When you've finished, you will know that Asian Men are actually the most Awesome guys around, but nobody knows that but a small few. Sucks to be us, I guess.


I can sum up The Curse of the Asian Man really quickly - no one wants us. Think about it. When was the last time you met a girl who had a "thing" for Asian guys? Sure, I've heard girls say that they want a guy who is a good listener, maybe funny, maybe handsome, maybe strong, maybe a lot of things ... but when they're thinking of the man of their dreams, nine times out of ten it ain't an Asian Guy they've got in mind. That doesn't make any sense. I don't think girls hate us. I just think for a lot of women, it doesn't even occur to them to put us in the "dateable" category. We're nice to talk to, we can help them with their homework - heck, we might even be fun to be with, but I guess we're just not attractive enough. You know, men and women might be more similar than I thought.

This just shouldn't be. I mean, we're just as good as the next guy, right? Is it because we're short? That seems kind of shallow, don't you think? (note: if you ever want to piss off a girl, call her shallow; girls hate that)



You would think that at least our own women would appreciate us, but this simply isn't true. Most Asian Girls, if it were left up to them, would rather go out with a White Guy. They, of all people, should know how Awesome we really are, but they just don't. Yes, I know there are Asian couples around (hey, I'm in Hong Kong, remember?), but I'm willing to say that those girls just didn't have much of a choice. You should see the attention these White Guys get from the local girls here. It's sick.

Life is even harder for an American Born Chinese like me. The few, precious, Asian girls who have not yet sold out don't care for ABC's because we're not Chinese enough. On the other hand, guys like me don't have the blonde hair and the blue eyes and the ridiculous amount of body fur so we're not attractive to the sell-out, American-loving locals either. And yes, I am bitter about that.

I think what aggrevates me the most, is that no matter how you look at it, the Asian Man loses, and for no good reason at all. The guys I see that women go for are all a dime a dozen, no matter what color they are. The Asian guys who are a big hit with the ladies usually have to trade in their "Asianess" just to get noticed (keep reading, more on that later). Even then, they're second-rate wannabe White Guys and I can't say I'm not without a little bit of satisfaction when thinking on this notion. I'm going to end this portion of my article with a quote from Chris Tsubamoto, a great Japanese writer:

"When an Asian guy sees a white guy with an Asian girl, the typical reaction is punk ass fetish motherer and sell out bitch. The Asian guy wonders what the white guy brings to the table that he doesn't have, and wonders why the Asian girl can't find what she wants in an Asian male. It makes us feel inferior. It makes us feel that she would rather disregard her culture than be with us. It makes us feel at a loss. It makes us mad.

Call it insecurity or jealousy or whatever, but we don't like it. And when I say we I don't mean everybody I'm talking about the majority (and yes it is a majority) of Asian men that frown upon the banana (or other mix) relationships. There is really not a good way to explain why we feel this way. Maybe it's because we feel like our interest and dedication is not reciprocated back to us. Hard to say. And yeah, I know it's not a good reason, but that's just the way it is."



Yeah, so those are the facts. That's the way life is. That's reality, nothing more, nothing less. Now I'm going to just start ranting bitterly and insult everyone. Let's begin by taking a look at the competition. I see a lot of Asian Girls with White Guys. Why is that? I hear a lot of Girls (Asian, White, or otherwise) continually whining about not being able to find a "nice" guy. What the hell? Asian Guys are the nicest freaking people on the planet (except for me, I guess). We treat old people with respect, we take care of our mothers, we bring you gifts every chance we get, we honor tradition and the family like nobody's business, and we do all of this with a genuine smile on our faces. We all play an instrument (usually piano or violin), we stay out of trouble, and we do what we're told. We won't beat you, cheat on you, or lie to you. That's not enough anymore?

Other girls claim they want a guy who has a "future" (like some don't?). Have they never seen an Asian guy before? He's got pressure from his family coming out of his ears. Asian parents don't sing lullabies to their kids - they make them memorize the Periodic Table and tell them about the importance of money and a pretigious job. No one is more prepared for the working world. No one studies harder, practices longer, and strives for perfection more than us. Asian Guys are the ultimate in Awesome. We rule. But nobody seems to notice, not even our own people (guys and girls - keep reading).

OK, I have here indisputable evidence. If you somehow missed it, look above and you'll see my scientific chart showing what most White Guys think about, what mostly preoccupies the mind. You know what the average American man is like ... and still girls choose White Guys. Why? Look at them. They're goofy and uncoordinated. Have you ever seen an Asian guy on "Cops" in a domestic dispute? No! It's always some fat ass greasy White Guy in a wifebeater ... well, beating his wife. Is this what you ladies really want?

I've heard some bitter dudes who don't have girlfriends say that most girls won't admit it, but they are willing to put up with a guy who treats them badly and with no substance. They say that it is "cool" now for girls to buy into this wholesome, innocent, and sweet routine when, in reality, they are all shallow but just don't want to admit it. I'd like to believe this isn't true. Do nice guys finish last? Some of us sure as hell do. OK, I better stop here before I stab myself in the eye. And yes, I am bitter.



The ironic thing about this whole situation is that Asian Guys actually Kick Ass. We're smart, loyal, witty, innovative, goal-oriented, well-behaved, and contributing members of society who don't need to whine and have a parade (I'm looking at you Puerto, Rico) or a million man march just because we're a minority and opressed by "the man" and everyone needs to hear what a hard freaking life we have or how much pride we have because we're a minority or any other such nonsense like that.

Don't get me wrong, we have our fair shair of losers and jack asses. What makes matters worse is that there are plenty of Asian guys who want to be white, wearing Tommy Hilfiger and dying their hair blonde because they want to look like some Preppy white guy. There are others who wear Fubu and call each other Niggaz (yeah, I said it; blow me) for no apparent reason. I've seen a bunch of websites with instructions on how to be a "cool" Asian and honestly, most of these helpful hints ask us to borrow from Hip Hop culture or spend all of our energy fixing up cars and racing them. Yippee. These guys aren't real Asians. They're Asian guys in an Identity Crisis. They've got it all wrong. They don't realize how Awesome they could really be. So while the rest of the world is finally catching on (buying stupid shirts with Asian Writing on them and pretending to be cultured as they watch endless bouts of Anime), these idiots are actually De-Asianizing themselves because they want to be cool. The situation is mind boggling: the whole world is trying to be Asian and they want out. I hate them.



OK, I finally have a conclusion: Girls are liars, plain and simple. They don't want just a "nice guy." Actually, girls don't really make any sense at all because even if they wanted a badass who could beat up everybody they should still find an Asian guy (go check out the Total Badass page; if you took all the Asians there - Jackie Chan, Shang Tsung, Chairman Kaga, etc. - and teamed them up against everyone else - including the Terminator and Jesus - they would totally kick everyone's ass). The Curse of the Asian Man is that no matter how Awesome we are, the world refuses to acknowledge it. We are, for the most part, unlucky in love for no good reason at all. Some of the most interesting guys I know with the best personalities and deepest insights have been looked over because, to most women, Asian guys are just invisible.

 

I somewhat agree with you, but i am also Asian.. almost a CBC(canadian born).. cuz i came to Canada in gr.1... n now im in gr11. I really have no problem with girls or girlfriends.. iv had my spare of white girls and asian girls.. u just goto find the right person

but maybe its just highschool and the girls are all that picky ..but im doing good

 

Hmm.. maybe if you spent less time feeling sorry for yourself and complaining about the situation, you'd realize that there are a lot of girls out there that have a thing for asian guys.

I know a lot of non-asian females that prefer to date asian males, and I know just as many asian females who will only date asian males.

Unless you live at the North Pole, you really don't have anything to complain about.

 

Hahahahaha, that' hilarious and, although sometimes harsh, definitely rooted in reality IMO. But hey, at least there's and massage parlors to take away the pain...

 

I want to add that although I don

 

well first, I didn't write that article, I just found it and found it interesting. My personal belief is that it's still not socially acceptable to date and marry and asian man if you're not an asian woman. Especially living in the puritan based new england society.

 

wow that was by far the longest single post ever..... does anyone have an executive summary of the post, anyone????


I am 100% Asian... my dad is pakistani and my mom is chinese.... Whities describe me as a tanned chinese with soft features..... whatever that means..... I have no problems with female... I have dated all types of races, never had a problem..... Just be yourself and if you like someone, just tell them, you dont have to be the most popular guy to get a hot chick.... its all in the game and how you play it........ If you cant convince yourself your good enough, how are you gonna make a girl feel that yoru good enough for her....

 

Well who ever wrote that article has to be the biggest frustrated low self esteem feeling sorry for himself loser. No wonder nobody wants to go out with him.

 

No wonder... did you see his picture.. he lloks like road kill...... ...J/K

 

This topic AGAIN?????????????? Really, AGAINNNN???? HAS IT NOT BEEN DONE TO DEATH?????????????


My GF is Japanese and for some reason she says she does not find Asian men attractive and only dates us whiteys, but so what. Plenty of fish in the sea dude. Plenty of fish. I just went to her cousins wedding, asian guy married a very cute white girl. She did not seem to attach any negative ju-ju on the fact that he is japanese. It is all in the approach.

I am short, and in my opinion goofy looking. Always had plenty of dates with a bunch of pretty girls. It is all in the approach and personality. Sure lots of girls shot me down because the want tall and thought I was a member of the Lollypop Guild, but boo hoo. Go try another. Lets say 50% of woman rule me out because I am 5'6", that still leaves another 50% in the game. And in the time it took you to write the long diatribe you could have got two numbers at a bar.

What is key is confidence. I don't have any cause I think I am a doofus, but I can FAKE it. Dance clubs are the easiest place in the world. Walk up to a girl, smile (ALWAYS SMILE) and introduce yourself. Smile. Make some small talk. Smile. Say "I love this song, want to dance?" When you are out on the dance floor make sure you are always smiling (in an endearing way not Jeffry Dahmer like) ask her things about herself. Whatever she says say "wow that is great"

Example....."So what do you like to do?" She says "Mangle kittens with a pliers" You say "Sweet! ME TOOO!!!!!!!" Stay out for a couple songs, not too long. Offer to get her a drink. Fawn all over her, keep the conversation on her, compliments, blah blah. Never look at the floor, the ceiling, only directly at her eyes and try to have a warm smile on your face. Toward the end of the evening say "I really like hanging around with you, would you like to get together for dinner or something?" Get number. Works like a charm. Its EASY.

If you are not having success you are doing it wrong. It never ceases to amaze me how many dorks out there are dating goregeous women. If they can do it you sure as hell can, right.

Buck up, studly! You're a lady killer right? Damn straight. So get out there and practice.

Oh and before you try, find youself an expensive salon and go spend $70 on a haircut. I do and it is worth it. HUGE difference between a good haircut and a mediocre one, or a bad one. Can make the difference. Tell the stylist, "I want something new. I trust you, make it look good" Tip well. Then go buy some new threads. Spend some serious cash. Now check your new look in the mirror for added confidence, and head out.

Good luck and May the Force Be With You.
