It's not yellow fever on the part of white men.
It's "vanilla fever" on the part of Asian women.

The final word in the discussion.

The numbers don't lie people:
http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2009/ ... -you-back/

Basically, according to the stats from OK Cupid (a site with tons of raw data on net dating), if you are a white man and you approach an Asian woman online, the odds of her writing you back are much higher than if you were a black man, Asian man or any other race.

Quote:

White women prefer white men to the exclusion of everyone else—and Asian and Hispanic women prefer them even more exclusively. These three types of women only respond well to white men. More significantly, these groups’ reply rates to non-whites is terrible. Asian women write back non-white males at 21.9%, Hispanic women at 22.9%, and white women at 23.0%.

Plus, if this is infuriating to you, maybe this quote will make you feel slightly better:

White guys are shitty, but fairly even-handed about it. The average reply rate of non-white males is 48.1%, while white guys’ is only 40.5%. Basically, they write back about 20% less often. It’s ironic that white guys are worst responders, because as we saw above they get the most replies. That has apparently made them very self-absorbed.

I guess "shitty" is being used in a somewhat unconventional way.

There goes all yellow fever excuses! It does seem that local girls do prefer western expats, not the opposite way around.

I say this, we're not self-absorbed, just supremely confident.

sounds like a load of bollox

as they say round my way

we? you look ultra asian. and asian males are mostly shy and occasionally insecure from the deprivation of sexual intercourse- having due to getting majority of their women stolen by the White Man.

You have a manga boy in you? Sounds like things have all gone a bit pete tong, innit

could it be passport fever?

Many of the percentages quoted by the OP are relatively close to each other. Depending on the sample space, those differences may be statistically insignificant, ie, there's no real difference.

In any case I thought the sociological gurus on this board had already determined that slim, sexy Shanghai nüren rank potential partners according to the following schema:

1. Fat ugly local guys with man-bags, nicotine-stained teeth, long fingernails, and lots of money;
2. Anyone else with lots of money;
3. ABCs;
4. Laowai;
5. Local guys with an apartment but maybe not a lot of money;
6. Indians;
7. Africans.

Upward mobility from any position 2-7 can be facilitated via hongbao.

And that "supreme confidence" is what turns me off most (white) western guys. Not being rude, I just prefer to be in control and most guys (chinese and caucasian) can't handle that.

^^If that Avatar is your real pic, I bet you don't meet many guys that turn you on or off! F,F,F,F,Fugly!

No wonder many Chinese hate Western people when they carry on like you.

Please define what you mean by "in control"?

The only person you can (should) truly control is yourself,
... anyone who appears to be contolling another is probably bullying (trying to) them or has economic power over them. Do either of these apply to your being in control of another?

^oh honey, you simply must try S&M, there's so many fabulous things to wear, and like Suzy says you can bite too

I was thinking the same thing for Suzy Xu..."Whip It"!

That is exactly what I mean. I am in control of me and my feelings. Most guys can't handle that in a woman as they feel they must be the macho man and control what happens and that a woman, especially Chinese, can not know what she wants and must follow the guys wishes. lol

What I recommend to my GF's, who are educated and of various ethnicities, when they start to complain about male behaviour and make sweeping statements covering the entire male population in the country we are in.....(in SE Asia)
"Control your (own) thinking, words thoughts and actions, never mind what the men are doing."
If this does not make things better for you change countries. They have the resources, jobs and education to move jobs and countries.
Any female I know who shifted her thoughts and eventually moved to another country found what she was looking for.

You are young Suzy Xu, stay in your centre grounded in yourself. The right dude for you will come along without you thinking and declaring things like the above, on this blog. You're sure to get more of the same if you think about it too much.

Fugly, means Fat and Ugly btw
Many Chinese hate Western People??? Really? I never noticed that. I have noticed that many Chinese hate Japanese people, who in every way humanly possible, are more refined, better educated, better mannered, and generally more pleasing to associate with than Chinese people. Why is that? I think Chinese people should aspire to emulate their betters, IE, the Japanese, socio-culturally speaking of course!

You want to take the driver's seat? The guy can sit back and relax for a change? Awesome!

Not looking for "mr right" and not looking to leave my country. Guess your opinion is these guys have a right to come here and cause all sorts of sh*t and name calling but if I dare do it I am wrong and they are all ok?????

^^Calm down. People post in jest sometimes, and anonymity makes some kinda rude. Just relax. Don't take anything too seriously posted on these forums. I'm sure you're a good person under all that hair! It's nice to see a Chinese woman speaking her mind by the way.

Actually when I wrote that I was thinking about the Chinese guys you are refering to and ridiculing above.
I've not been impressed with the way (traditional) Asian males behave towards woman. But I have seen Chinese woman in other Asian contries in control of their husbands, children and employees. Breathtaking to watch.

The guys on this blog directing comment to you are being mean and more than a bit cruel. You defined yourself on the profile as "I can bite" independent, in control kinda gal.
They are testing you and pushing your buttons. Has it worked?

This is an open forum and as the cliche goes..." if you cannot take the heat stay out of the fire".

Oh, it's also a tradition of sorts, in the west, for people to play by taking the piisss out of each other. Take notice of how the laowai interact with each other on the boards, just as mean if not meaner. They are treating you like any other person on here.

So should I feel honour, anger should I laugh and soften or should I attack lol. Always never sure especially when my mix of Chinese/western humour not always go across right way and do tend to get me into trouble sometimes

Almost, but not entirely.
Actually, it is about heat and kitchen:
"If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

I also have been told fugly stood for F'ing Ugly, but I won't argue this as every country has a different meaning for words. Example:-
Fanny = English name for many Chinese girls
Fanny = Butt for USA people
Fanny = Vagina for Australian people

So why care if some have different meaning? does not mean one is right or wrong, just different.

And for all those nice peopl ewho say how ugly, fugly etc etc I am --- thanks, while you pick on me you are thinking of me and you are also leaving others alone. hahahahahaha
