[quote=GUEST12073,391019]Hi there. As a man of Chinese descent born in Britain, let me first dispel the tacky reasons that the majority seem to go along with. 1) Cultural/language barriers. If that were the case, overseas Chinese women would just be unlikely as Chinese women to be in relationships with westerners (let's be frank, we all mean whites - I wouldn't classify Eastern Europeans or Russians as a westerner). Similarly, black men and women with whites would be a rare sight. It isn't. Also, the Canadian idiot above obviously didn't take into account that those of African ancestry and Muslim societies have way more of a patriarchal society than us (4 wives, anyone?) and they seem to be doing well in Western societies. I also find the "looking for someone to adopt a subservient role" hilarious and hypocritical, considering it is white men who go abroad or mail order a foreign oriental bride because she is subservient, demure and a doormat. Lastly, I bet you will be one of the millions of western men in 20 years time who will eat your very words regarding patriarchal societies when you find yourself divorced, paying for a home that you can't live in, a wife you hate and children you can't see. 2) Closed society. Right, so closed our women are leaving them in droves. Theories like that only apply if the same applies to both sexes; it clearly doesn't. Other minority groups successfully intermingle with the host majority in roughly same amounts amongst the sexes. Except for ours. There are four reasons which are true and most comonly prevalent (as I have encountered amongst my Chinese male friends and general situations): 1) White women. Don't mean to stereotype.... but hey, seeing as they do it themselves.... basically, they don't like us. They have got it into their heads that we are poor, bucktoothed, socially inept weirdos. The stereotypes - of which there are many - computer maths geek, kung fu, egg fried rice, small dicked - every known stereotype and assumption associated with us is negative. Historically the media has been hostile towards us - notice how current media is very favourable to blacks... black-white couples (of both sexes), fantastic role models etc... like it or not, people are very stupid - all it takes is for the media to shape their likes and dislikes. This starts from childhood all the way to death, influenced by friends, media, family and society. Maybe when they get older they realise they've been duped... too late then. Anyway, from all those stereotypes we have become a source of ridicule rather than respect. Women will never relate to someone who is not respected by society. [/quote]
