I think that for many Western men, the perception, or the reality of Oriental women as submissive, subservient, the antithesis of the liberated feminazi in the west, greatly heightens the appeal.

My personal observation is that while some Oriental women are indeed stunning, the majority aren't.

I would not use the term submissive and subservient. They embrace the traditional female role in society. In fact, in Eastern Asian countries such as Japan, women run the day-to-day affairs of the household.

Like twice on flights to from Tokyo/Taipei, I noticed that when the eldest sibling is a young lady, she takes over the responsibility of supervising the younger children and seeing that their needs are met.

Perhaps SOME Asian women are submissive. Many aren’t. A former boss had married an Asian lady (Born and raise in Japan) who made life miserable for him. So miserable that he refused to retire until he was forced to in his 80’s. He spent as many hours per day at work as he could, and would have slept there if he thought he could get away with it. He didn’t believe in divorce, so avoidance was his method to retain sanity.
