#Women only date up skin
Omit all references to skin color in what I just wrote, and it’s a woman talking about finding a man who values the same thing she does. It would be better if we turned the conversation outside of race. My ex would frequently ask me why it mattered what my parents thought or how my brother would approach a problem. That closeness has brought problems in the past. My siblings and I are very close, talking weekly if not more often. As Americanized as I am, I still respect my parents and discuss major life decisions with them. No matter how many generations your family has been in the United States, most minority families are very tight-knit. Interracial dating brings its own challenges outside of racism and xenophobia. Though, there is something that few of the responses on KCET’s post took into account. Feminism is making headway in Asian countries, but family dynamics have not changed that much, unless you are looking at a 1.5 or second generation couple. 9 comments 82 Upvoted Log in or sign up to leave a comment Log In Sign Up Sort by: best level 1 1 yr. There are, after all, countless reasons as to why someone wouldn't want to date someone else. I find that Caucasian men tend to understand this a little bit better. Just because they don't want to date you specifically should NOT be taken as undeniable proof otherwise.

Apparently taller guys tend to be more dominant but I dont know how true this is. Given how nature works, this implies they are probably stronger. The taller the guy the more physically bigger he is. I am hard-headed, ambitious and probably a little too honest to fit the mold of a traditional Vietnamese wife. But here's something that could be the reason why some women do. Then again, maybe they just had a problem dating me. A lot of short men, and I have dated several, end up having a problem dating taller women. And values are where it counts in relationships. Ever have an online date show up who told you he was 6 feet tall and ended up being 5’7 I am 5’10, and he was quite embarrassed.

Although I love my culture and speak Vietnamese, I am mostly American in my values. My response to the question “why do you only date white men” is usually that I’m second-generation, and I have a hard time identifying with Asian men who grew up outside of the United States. I grew up in the Midwest, which probably adds to my preference.

I mentioned it to Leslie, which led to a long-winded conversation about dating and marriage and gossiping Vietnamese mothers, which in turn led to Leslie asking me to share a little on my experiences. The post incorporated various people's answers to the question, "Why do Asians predominately date Caucasians?" Last week a good friend posed a question to me, "Do you only date white men?" It took a minute for me to reply, it was a question that has floated around me since I was able to sneak out of the house in high school. , a new online dating concept, recently launched, offering women a way to pick up men around them without ever having to expose their identity. Today I spied a post on KCET's website titled "Love Isn't Blind, It's Just Near Sighted," which began: Please give a warm welcome to KPCC's Kim Bui, editor of the OnCentral blog and Multi-American guest blogger of the day:Īs an adult, I’ve rarely had a conversation about race without it slowly turning toward relationships.
