Yellow Fever. [ yel'lo f'var]
1. A viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in South America and sub-Saharan Africa
2. An intense attraction for Asians by Caucasians
It's the Mount Qomolangma of obstacles, the nightmare on bar street, the reason why single white females cry in their half-price drinks on Ladies Night as they're passed over for the long black hair and short skirts of their Chinese sisters. As the bar chanteuse croons, "I've got the fever" the male expatriates sing lustily in reply ".yellow fever!"
"I'm a reasonably attractive, intelligent woman who, like these guys thought out-of-the-box and came to China. And we share the same native language. Why those girls over me?" laments a single white female. Why indeed. China has long been known as a single (sometimes married) white man's playground while at the same time being a single white woman's wasteland.

What is it then that attracts expatriate men to Chinese women? Is it their petite size, willingness to submit to their needs, eagerness to help their men succeed? Duh, yes.
Rightly or wrongly, Chinese women fully expect their husbands to be the provider and will take a backseat in order for them to be successful. Of course, for the male expatriates, dreams of lives like a bed-of-roses are abruptly pierced with thorny predicaments when meeting future in-laws. But differences aside, many such couples press ahead with the multiple bridal ceremonies and receptions. Chicken breast is on the wedding menu for guests in his hometown, while the head and feet are served up to friends and family in hers.
>> Should more expatriate women seek our local Chinese men?
Now with the male-female ratio in China decidedly greater on the male side, why don't more expatriate women increase their dating pool and seek out local Chinese men?
Well even if the single white female is relatively conversant in Chinese, there's a physical obstacle. It's embarrassing when your boyfriend's jeans are smaller than your own. It may harken back to that "hunter-gatherer" thing, but generally, women want men who are tall enough to see over their foreheads (Tom Cruise excepted).
Chinese men, unlike Chinese women, are more risk-averse and less comfortable swimming in the uncharted seas of cross-cultural relationships. Chinese men are more tradition bound and especially in the age of the one-child family, bear a heavy filial duty to their parents. Sons are expected to take care of their parents, but in reality it's the wife's duty to serve the in-laws. And Po po and Gong gong are none too happy when laowai girlfriend plans to kidnap their son to Phuket for Spring Festival instead of staying at home and rolling jiaozi with them. Yes, parents can be a buzz kill.
And true or not (but mostly true), expatriate women carry the reputation for being very vocal about what they think and want. Few are the Chinese men who will put up with losing face over inadvertent statements made by their expatriate girlfriends. So unless the single white female is fluent in Chinese and understands the culture, a Chinese man will be reluctant to start something he knows will end badly.
With all these advantages to Chinese women, what's a single white female to do? There's fading hope in quasi-social networking cocktails or maybe another awkward evening matched up with the only other single at your friend's dinner party or worst yet, waking up in someone's hand-me-down IKEA bed in a fourth floor walk-up after a mind-numbing night of vodka shots at the local pub.
Yes girlfriend, if China will be your life, then go native; if not then, better luck back on your home turf. Match.com is waiting.
Lucy Lu ? if sure look like it.
Funny, the women here in the states who treat their men like Gods get walked on. Sounds like a fantasy world men live in.
I wonder how many relatives those 5 women now have in the states because they’ve sponsored family....
Er..., well, she does look a bit YOUNG...as in jail bait.
They are hot till they reach 40ish...then, they turn not so hot...
HA HA HA HA...
My Italian wife had those same numbers when we were younger. All put into a 5 foot tall package.
Pinging for potential.
And of course there are no men who act that way....
Not by the tits, no.
I prefer female humans. Or did,married a long time now and i just prefer my wife. I can’t see why a person would have a preference based on race as opposed to say,loving the person or perhaps compatibility.
They might be hot but the have that sniveling little attitude. You know, when they cover their mouth, turn their head, and let out that awful little “hehehe”. You guys can have have em.
” We are talking steel lotus flower.”
No kidding. She’s whipped my son into a model citizen!
The amazing thing is she does it without really saying anything. There’s a silent wall that goes up and you know, “Uh-oh...”
I wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s a wonderful DIL and so very smart. Master’s Degree, math whiz, great job and a doll!
Why European homes?
My friend is married to a Chinese woman. They have a bunch of kids. She's now in her fifties, and looks hotter than the average Caucasian woman in her thirties.
Seems like the marriage might last longer if he stayed in the Philippines for a few years (I assume he's retired?) before allowing her to come to the US and get a green card.
attractive includes what is INSIDE as well.
who wants a crazy feminist for a wife?
Is it weird that most of the guys on this thread are at their computers at 2AM on a Saturday night?
lol... wow... Bad experience or somethin??
I had a few good times back in the day. Times that will always stay with me. Had many women. Some were drop dead gorgeous, some I met wearing beer goggles. But all were were passionate and unforgettable. Orientals just had the edge of wanting to please, slightly more than American women which gives them the edge IMHO. Some, I had to actually tell to stop and recieve... At the time, I got the little giggle you speak of... Awesome!!
The only bummer out of it all? Being that I am aging, broke, and lacking a little confidence these days, I must wait for my next life to do it all over again!! :)
who said the wife was not there with him?
or on the smartphone?
or has her own FR account?
