Dating an Asian Woman - The Impossible Dream: Is she into you? Body part ratings. Hard cookies. The food pyramid of Asian beauty. Sexual attraction. Asian cell biology and pheromones. Most importantly, lessons on evading predators on the Internet.

My wife is from Japan, so I guess you could say she's an Asian woman. However, I find the entire concept of wanting to date an Asian woman pretty weird. If you were a feminist you could call this post "colonialist". However, I suppose it's true that men and women are attracted to particular body types, but shortly after we got to know each other my (future) wife ceased being an Asian woman, and instead became someone with a name and a personality. I didn't go to Japan to date Asian women, but in my twenties I was at an age when you date women, and in the rural part of Japan where I lived there weren't a lot of non-Japanese women (although I did date a girl from Tennessee for a while). I found that the guys who had come to Japan to date Japanese women were either social rejects, or creeps (or both).
So I find this post kind of weird, kind of offensive, and not very Meta, because there is no examination of what it means when some guy says he dreams of dating Asian women.

Oh, and Lucy Liu is not an artist. And the music in that first YT video is really really cheesy. The Chinese characters are pretty terrible, too.

I really like advice about dating that is completely baffling because, after all, dating is completely baffling, right?

Baffling? It's like we don't even speak the same language!

Well in this case this post is great for you! :P
But, yeah, offensive and rather sordid for the rest of us. Especially Asians or those with Asian relatives/friends.

If this post isn't going to be deleted, it should have the sextourism tag applied.

Ew, this is seriously creepy. I'm going to forward this to all my girlfriends. It's like a bad accident you can't turn your eyes away from.

Here's another kook with an Asian fetish that he won't recognize:
