‘Yellow fever’ and the fantasy of the Asian female
Japan Times ^ | 06/25/2013 | Nicolas Gattig

Posted on 06/25/2013 1:05:17 AM PDT by TexGrill

Here is a dumb thing you should never do: watch the 007 caper “You Only Live Twice” with your feminist American girlfriend — a woman of color to boot. In a series renowned for its sexism, the Japan entry takes the biscuit.

My date night was first upset as Bond is massaged in a bathhouse by Aki, an improbably svelte and doe-eyed assistant, who whispers that she will enjoy very much “serving under” him. The feminist girlfriend, adorable if not exactly svelte, emits a derisive snort. “What is she — a slave?”

When Bond and another “sexiful” nymph, the pearl diver Kissy Suzuki, search for the villains’ hideout in the Kyushu mountains, the feminist girlfriend at last blows a fuse. “Why is that chick running around in a bikini and high heels on a volcano?”

It is a valid point that I have given a lot of thought. The honest answer can only be that Kissy Suzuki understands what men like, the recesses of the lizard brain, and that she is guilelessly happy to deliver. No wonder my date night went south.

Any cultural interaction can trigger fantasies, a pushing of buttons in the collective unconscious. Few of these fantasies, though, seem as keen as the one Western males have of Asian females (and this, in turn, pushes buttons for non-Asian females). What lies beneath this attraction besides obvious physical features? And what are the fantasies driving “yellow fever,” the fetish for Orientals that can make Western guys in Japan act like brats in a toy shop?

I got 'yellow fever,' who else got it? Of course, this is better than having 'disco fever.'

Here's my experience, and bare in mind that your mileage may vary. The Asian women that I know, that spent their childhood in their homeland, seem to be much more mature at a younger age then their Western counterparts.

I read a book one time that posited that children, as a group, don't really grow past the 'me, me, me' stage until age 24 to 28. That's when they pay attention to a wider worldview and their contribution to it, rather then wondering 'what have you done for me lately?' The long forgotten author of this book was basing his opinion on attitudes that he observed in Western youngsters.

Asian parents, Tiger Mom or not, do not have the patience to put up with that attitude past the age of 6 or so. Kids have to contribute or someone does without. People who learn this early in life are team players without so much emphasis on the me, me, me part.

It's my thought and experience that these folks are very easy to get along with without the 'high maintenance' overtones that Western folks (Guys and girls alike) bring to the table.

The fact that so many of them are incredibly beautiful is very sweet icing on the cake.

I’ll ask my (Taiwanese/Chinese) wife. I don’t think I’m allowed to have it.

It’s funny how feminism can make ‘yellow fever’ more contagious.

Ha—I figure men with such a fixation are like poor “Jaron Blaye”, who despite being vaguely black is rather modestly endowed.

When men go scuba diving in tuxedoes, it’s only fair that women wander about in bikinis and high heels.

If the masses of American men ever discover the truth me thinks there will be a mass migration to the Far East.

I figured it out one day in South Korea. I happened to be in a shopping area at the magic hour. Streets were fairly empty when all of a sudden the doors opened and hundreds of beautiful korean women stepped out onto the street. Apparently they all got off work at the same time.

Ditto on the short version.

Nothing puts a feminist into a fit of rage faster than a woman who wants to please a man and who is genuinely happy doing it. The mere thought makes their head explode.

Nothing......And FWIW, I've never seen an obese middle aged Asian woman walking around the supermarket in spandex tights, dragging a screaming baby with her......

Oh sure, it's all fun and games until she's comfortable around you. Then you get to experience a kimchee fart. Trust me, the olfactory sensation will wake you from a sound sleep.

Never had that problem with the korean women I dated, or with my wife of 23 years.

Cleanest, most well mannered people I’ve ever met.

“Nothing puts a feminist into a fit of rage faster than a woman who wants to please a man and who is genuinely happy doing it. The mere thought makes their head explode.”

Pretty much sums it up. I’ve told my boys not to even think of marrying a girl born or educated in this country (and most of the West). Many, maybe most, are brainwashed to make life miserable for you - and you only find out after you’re married, as they’re as sweet as can be, until that day. Sure, there are plenty of really good American women, but it’s a crapshoot now. You have a 50/50 chance of finding one that knows how to be a wife if you go American, whereas it’s closer to 90/10 if you go Asian. Marriage, having 2 parents to raise kids, not going broke, not having to hire lawyers, having someone still around when you get old - that’s something where it’s REALLY SMART to play the odds.
