I think there is an imbalance in the numbers, and believe a lot of the imbalance is simply explained the historical fact that Europeans were a seafaring imperialist culture for the past many centuries, whereas Asians have tended to stay at home. Inevitably it's been Western men hooking up with non-Western lasses for the most part ...
As it happens, these days there's more travel from Asia, and I think we'll be seeing a lot more Asian men marrying Caucasian women. I know several such couples in my circle, and they seem to be just as happy as any other mixed couple. The story of Bruce Lee is just one such example.
Hybrid vigor is well documented, it works in humans just as effectively as it works in other life forms (plants and animals included).
And given the evolutionary advantage of mixing genes it's no surprise that being different (call it "exotic") is very stimulating sexually, to both genders! Easy to observe in humans, it's also been observed in monkey tribes.
BTW on a more practical note for those considering entering an intercultural relationship: there's been some research that suggests a couple is more likely to last together if as a couple they adopt the culture of the woman for their home life. Without debating the reasons why, just bear that in mind when you make your choices. Guys, don't expect your girl to adapt to your culture and your needs too much otherwise you're setting yourself up for a probability of failure. | |
