Chinese writer Yuan Ren lifts the lid on so-called 'yellow fever': a well-peddled myth that Asian women make better sexual lovers than other women, while at the same time, having no meaningful presence in politics and popular culture
By Yuan Ren 01 Jul 2014 Ever heard of yellow fever? No, not the disease you can pick up when travelling to certain countries. I'm talking about when Caucasian men develop an acute sexual preference for East Asian women – even becoming a fetish, for some.
Naturally, there are dating websites aplenty dedicated to 'serving' those men who have yellow fever, where the average East Asian women is increasingly being perceived as a desirable partner.
In fact, the most recent figures from 2.4 million users of Facebook dating apps showed a clear skew in preference for women of East Asian descent by men of all racial groups, except, ironically, Asian men.
As a Chinese, single woman in the UK - where I have rarely come across racism – my East Asian friends and I have encountered a fair share of men with telltale signs of yellow fever. But it's subtle, and of course, few would admit to surfing online dating sites for Chinese women, yet when the only girls they date are Chinese, then the probabilities are in their favor.
Having said that, I'm surprised at what British men, both young and old, generally get away with when talking about East Asian women (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.) as well as South East Asian women (Vietnam, Thailand etc.)

They can just moosh on me....
There is a simple answer here. While the assumption is that people want to date those who are exciting and flashy, but want to marry orderly, rational and smart people; the truth is that dating exciting and flashy people is only for the novice dater. Serious dating is with someone you might want to marry.
This explains why western men find Asian women to be attractive. However, western women do not see these traits in Asian men. So they look elsewhere for a more desirable potential mate.
oriental women are absolutely beautiful and usually petite...both of which float my boat !!!
Men will date whoever likes them. The question should be reversed.
Also, you should know by now that white men aren’t allowed to have any likes or preferences due to their privilege.
Pretty...not you....

LOL
“My wife is a 5th degree black belt.”
And you are a very brave man.
I clicked on this article thinking that there would be lots of accompanying pictures and I was not disappointed.
Check my profile page.
My wife is Italian and I think you have identified an important part of what makes my marriage work. She and I seldom find ourselves struggling over making a decision.
I have seen a couple who argued heatedly over exactly where to place their garbage can at the curbside for pickup. How they ever came to believe that they should both be involved in such a decision is a mystery to me and my wife.
If you don’t know what “selection bias” is, look it up.
The average chinese woman is a dog.
No thank you.
Monsters.
And no makeup ! :-)
The international businessman’s idea of heaven is living in London on an American salary with a Chinese wife and a French chef.
Hell is living in Paris on a Chinese salary with an American wife and a British cook.
I heard this joke many years ago....I’m not sure if London is what it used to be....
LOL, not all of them. Not all of them.
LOL “Why you treat me like animal”
You don’t wear makeup?
No wonder she’s so purdy.
LOL
Yes. That acceptance becomes obvious within the first 30 seconds of the first conversation. It is very attractive and somehow relaxing.
The average human being is a dog. But we are all well above average here, hence the the discussion. :)
I’ll pick on you to tell my story.. :)
Several months ago, I had a date with a beautiful Taiwanese Chinese woman.. She was a bit younger (eyes roll) than I usually date, and she could only speak a few phrases of English, and I spoke no Chinese.. but I digress..
I took her to a great Thai restaurant that I had called in advance to insure that the waitstaff had a person that could speak Chinese from the area that she was born, and they did..
She was absolutely stunning, in a grab your heart, kind of way.. Dressed in a silk floral dress, with her pencil thin figure, black shimming hair tied atop her head, accentuating her neck and porcelain skin, and her almond eyes.. Well, you get my drift..
The evening started great, we arrived at the restaurant and I asked that she ordered our meal, not having any idea what she might like, she demurred, but I respectfully insisted..
She smiled, and I smiled, and the conversation was awkward at best but cute, and the translations, through the waiter, were strained but fun.. I was shocked and pleased that she had a voracious appetite, and we ate several different types of their vast menu selections..
However, I became somewhat uncomfortable, because I was holding my stomach in, and couldn’t hardly consider loosening my belt.. It became a problem after a while because I’m sure I was turning blue, and began to get a little lightheaded..
By the end of the dinner, although I was still giddy with her petite beauty, even if there wasn’t a language barrier, we had little in common, except for food, and travel, that I haven’t repeated the pleasure..
My personal appeal for foreign women has been blunted by the reality of my age and my needs.. I want a witness, a companion to share our experiences in these precious few years we have left..
If I do look for someone, and I am less inclined to do it, I want someone to tell all of my stories to, and leave you folks to enjoy yours without my nonsense.. LOL
