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.
And when they gain weight, they end up diabetic! I have a lot of Asian female friends, some mixed, some full, and most married to or dating/have dated non-Asian (usually white) guys. The biggest turn off for them are guys with Asian-fetishes. It's really creepy.
Oh my goodness, very pretty!
White guy/ asian women threads.
1965
so that makes you 44
45
and she is supposedly barely 18 and 5 months old
She is eighteen years of age.
She could be your daughter
Unlikely, as I've never been to Japan, and I was married when she was born (and have never slept with anyone but Mrs Chan since).
she looks 12.
She looks eighteen to me.
Leave her alone.
LOL Even if I were to become single again, I'd never have the opportunity to meet her, nor would I try; she can do better than me! I merely think that she is the fourth-loveliest woman on planet Earth.
I will say this: there's nothing immoral about that sort of thing as long as everyone involved is honest and above-board. I am not a Puritan and have no problem with any two adults of opposite sexes being married no matter what the difference in their ages might be.
Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if it was Alternative Lifestyle Night on FR.
Well, check out the little-girl soft porn in the pictures above...ick....there must be some of that here on FR, too.
"White" women have unfortunately been convinced ... that they should engage in certain behaviors, all of which are counter-productive to having a good relationship with a straight man.
I edited it a bit for brevity, but I thimk you sure hit the nail on the head with that description...
When I’m in Nantucket...
I got $5 that this thread gets pulled by morning.
I’m with you on that, nothing wrong with a 40 something year old man bumping into 18 and older girls, it gets creepy if they do a Hollywood type pursuit of them, but a natural, random, bumping into each other is fine.
All that being said, Mrs. Chan remains the most beautiful woman in the world, and for the same reasons.
Ha Ha!
Please note, however, that I'm talking here about young women who are adults both physically and emotionally. A man who preys on adolescent girls or emotionally immature women is a cad, at best.
{ To their own kind ? }
Im not even gonna go there ...
I’ll take that bet. Althought purient on the surface, the underlying premise is fascinating. Most white guys I know are married to white women. Most black guys are married to black women. What gives? When it comes to sexual preferences, we are NOT colorblind. Sexual preferences do not transcend race. We HAVE our preferences. Does that make us bad? Its a legitimate discussion.
Cute couple.
Don’t confuse the European Catholic ways with the individualistic freedom, culture of America.
It is one thing for two people to bump into each other, it is a different thing to start adopting European ways.
