[quote=GUEST13140,442848]I'm an asian Canadian. 
I've dated plenty of both..
To GENERALIZE (since yes, must be hard for some of u to understand that every individual is different) i found that Asian born and raised in Asia are ... hmmm.. not boring per say but they focus on school and money and job and career before other things.. they grew up being lectured by their parents cuz of course, it's very competitive. For me, i think Asian Canadians/Americans are more fun, but they have BALANCE between work and play. 
Too be honest alot of Asians (reguardless of where they are from) would feel they have a bonus to be inlove with their "best friend" things like only love cuz of making kids etc is only in their mind if they feel stuck! (for example if they are 28+ and still single) then marriage becomes more of a Business contract for them... i do also think asians born and raised in asia care more about money (well probably cuz they normally themselves come from well-off families so they too need to continue on success to make their parents proud) and are more mature then western asians... probably cuz they know how hard life is early on.. they have the glimpse of the real world at a younger age (again because of competition) whereas western asians are much more laidback and easy-going. Im not sure about Asian Americans/Canadians, but for sure Asian born and raised in Asia only keep lil money for themselves (basically agreeeing with one of the replies) i do agree, they spend most of their money on other things, (house, car, kids, food,) they take care of alot of things, and then again.. friends seem to be important to them, so they would go out and men would always want to "treat" their friends, so u often see a bunch of grown men fighting to pay the bill. Women stay home cook, clean, take care of the children and work if they want too. Basically the hardest part if trying to satisfy the husband's parents... (very intimidating to me! Since im asian canadian) of course, i still follow the old generation traditions too, and im quite happy, my role, and my husbands role, Im a english teacher..(yea i know im sorry for my storm of error typing on here) i speak NO CHINESE, my husband's parents love me to death. I've dated my husband for 10 yrs, and married 3 yrs, living in Taiwan. My husband and I love each other to death, and on weekends, we scooter around, play jokes on each other, go to night markets, watch movies, and are STILL lovey-dovey!!! ^____^ (mind u we dont have kids yet..)[/quote]
