Many Asian men you know tend to be reserved, reticent, in other words, introverted. That is NOT me by any sense: I am more upbeat, outgoing and enthusiastic like Pinkie Pie is. Maybe that could be a breath of fresh air for anyone?


I recall from my trip through Asia that Koreans generally tend to be upbeat and outgoing. Maybe not quite like Pinkie Pie. Taiwanese are reserved, reticent and introverted. Koreans would go out together, get drunk and sing.

How about a black woman? Does that interest you?


I was wondering about that too. I had a black co-worker who had a thing for Asian men.

Quote:
Asian/white interracial newlyweds had a higher combined annual income than any other pairing, at over $70,000 per year. In comparison, white/white newlyweds earned $60,000 combined and Asian/Asian couples together earned $62,000 on average.

Well, it looks like I have something going for me on that front. :D

Is it possible that somebody like Mark Zuckerberg's union with his asian wife could have influenced the average statistic?

I'm Korean myself and my parents are fine with me dating "non Korean"s. To them, what's more important are the usual stuff like whether the person I'm seeing is responsible, honest, etc. I grew up in a somewhat non traditional Korean household but my mom would still expect me to be respectful as I still live with her. Like, even if I'm seeing someone, she would expect me to come back home at a reasonable hour and not sleepover and stuff. If your parents are not so comfortable with you being in an interracial relationship, expose them more to television programs like misuda and ingahn geukjahng as interracial couplings are a frequent topic on those. Some people frown on interracial couplings because they're biased. Just ignore them. :) My boss who is an ajooma even encouraged me to marry outside Koreans as the guys are more willing to divide up the household chores and because everyone knows about the notorius traditional korean mother in laws... eeeek 8O

Nah. The original article said "median" rather than "average."

Looking again at this table

Married couples in the United States in 2010 (thousands) wrote:

Wife:......................... White..... Black...... Asian

White Husband.... 50,410.... 168........ 529

Black Husband........... 390... 4,072........ 39

Asian Husband......... 219.......... 9..... 2,855



For the sake of simplified analysis and discussion, I've removed the "Other" category, and we are only looking at couples where both spouses self-identify as purebred, and either White, Black or Asian.

Asian women accout for 6% of the total wives, but a whopping 42% of the wives in inter-racial marriages.

White Husbands with Asian wives account for 39% of all inter-racial marriages.

The second most common interracial mating is Black Men with White Wives: 29% of inter-racial pairs.

We have about 340,000 more married Asian women than men, about 252,000 more married Black men than women, and 88,000 more married White men than women. Percentage-wise, the situation seems more acute for Asian guys. For White women--88,000 is a drop in the bucket, since Whites are most numerous. For Black women: it is more like a cupfull in the bucket.

Especially Asian guys, but also Black women, seem to be getting the short end of the stick, as Asian women pursue White men, and White women chase after Black men.

Married to gu? That does sound like a sticky situation.

In a lot of Asian countries, there is an expectation that the son's wife will take care of his aging parents. Someone from another culture might need to use special effort to ingratiate herself.


LOL, to a GUY from Thialand. Keyboard needs to be cleaned.
