[quote=MOONDOLLARS,257147]In the past, I didn't understand why some students from Asian countries acted the way they did. I dated a guy from Taiwan, and I compared him to other guys I've dated. The so-called femininity that people in the U.S. regard Asian guys as having is not femininity! It's merely being taught the principles of Taoism in the Chinese household. Taoism emphasizes "strength of softness", "yielding", receptiveness, and ways of speaking and guiding behavior. This behavior is often intertwined in examples in classical Chinese, and although a parent might not know classical Chinese, it's already embedded in the way they behave and teach their children! I had always thought that Asian men were less masculine than American men, but I was wrong. They are just really good at holding back and thinking things through because these behaviors are compatible to a good character in Taoism. Wow... Am I even right on this? - Moondollars [/quote]
