Ok, fellow bros, something has been bothering me for the past two weeks. I have grown some sort of fascination for white girls and can't get it off my mind. I, personally, never thought much of interracial relationships although I was open to it; the reason is because I found myself rarely attracted to women who aren't Asian (bear in mind that I am Asian). But I have not been able to keep my mind off white girls lately. And its not even a particular few but just any. Blonde haired blue eyed, tall athletic brunette. There is something wrong. I'm sure that many of the members here are ABCS, BBCs, and CBS who have had considerably time living abroad in the western world; have you guys experienced or are experiencing a similar thing? Let's not limit this topic of conversation to just WG's (even if there is some to be found in HK), I am talking about any pretty white girl?
But after pondering a bit about why I have suddenly become an admirer of white chicks, I started to think why there is an imbalance in the proportion of (White Guy, Asian Girl) VS (Asian Guy, White Girl) couples. It's a well documented phenomenon and I think Wong Fu products made a skit on this. (See
here for the comedic skit.
But let us dive into an investigation of our own:
When considering the population of interracial couples between two specific races (or rather ethnicities) as we are dealing with (Caucasian vs Asian), there does not appear to be any clear reason why there would be a gender bias. But there, clearly is (and we shall not doubt this fact for the purposes of our inquiry). So we must attribute a cause.
Possible Cause #1: Behavioral differences due to culture
If it were to be cultural issue, then it must be a cultural issue where there is a gender bias, meaning the cultural effects are different between the men and women in a given race. For example, I think one popular belief is that both Caucasian men and women are more outgoing whereas Asians are more reserved, or shy, if you will.
Due to the difference of gender roles, a shy man will hardly ever work out with a outgoing strong girl. But a outgoing guy goes well along a shy obedient girl? So if Caucasian women are so "fiercely independent" and outgoing how will they get a long with a "sensitive" shy Asian guy.
Please note I do not agree with the above stereotypes. I think though that it has become a common popular belief.
Maybe ill leave other possible causes for later after we have discussed this further!
P.S. Please don't take this too seriously. Just try to think about it a bit and have a laugh. I have tried to write carefully, in the sense that I do not offend.
