'Yellow Fever' Fetish: Why Do So Many White Men Want To Date A Chinese Woman?
Telegraph (UK) ^ | July 1, 2014

Posted on 07/13/2014 3:53:46 PM PDT by Steelfish

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.)

The answer is cruel - most Asian men are just goofy looking.

There is a historical record of caucasian men drawn to east Asian women. Here is a classic example from the '60s that I remember from my childhood.

The only difference it makes is to busy body liberals, who won’t mind their own business.

I dunno.

Why are some men queers? But you’d never see a liberal write an article like this one on homosexual preferences, cause that would be racist.

Sexual desires run a gauntlet depending on the person.

I don’t know if it is true, I don’t know if it is only white men who like Asian girls, and I don’t know if they would write about black men and white women, or Asian men and white women, or Hispanic men and white women.

Some Asian men look like girls.... I don't think I would go with that, I would do whatever it took to make myself look tougher. But some Asian men just go with it......

Like "Ren" from a band called Nu'est

That's a male. Believe it or not.

I find that’s the same with Asian women. They are, “very” on either side. They don’t seem to do average.

I think a larger question is, why are so many men attracted to foreign women (Asia/East European)? Can it be that American women aren’t desirable to a large number of men? (My opinion is yes - Typical American woman is not desirable to me).

Rule #1: NEVER have anything for a pet or girlfriend whose ass you cannot kick in an emergency.

I don't understand why people freely associating with other people should bother anyone.

In other words why can't the writer mind her own business.

A lot of Korean women like nerds. One of the reasons that studying is a national epidemic is that a lot of girls like them smart.

Get out of school and go to a hakwon till late. They had to pass a law to shut down the hakwons at midnight or something. Of course the kids can still go home and study.

Entertainer Yoo Jae-Suk is really popular with ladies, young and old.
