I don't know if I'm introverted or not. I actually like socializing with people, then I do socially awkward things (like make posts like this on WP with 35 pages of calling me an idiot) and then figure nobody likes me, and then don't socialize. Like I do need probably more alone time than the average person, but conversely, I do feel energized from socializing sometimes.

Meh, got no idea.

I don't hate you. I dislike that you are just throwing in the towel, maybe not all the way, but still. Maybe you could learn Japanese. I'd reccomend Byki, it is cheap, and with the deluxe version for $80 dollars, (I got mine for $33, I'm a wizard), you get free access to the list central on their website. It gives you user made lists of like, most languages you can think of. with this deluxe, you can get all of them for free. Buy 1 language, keep learning for 10! But seriously, most people would prefer not to hate each other who are similar to them, so I would imagine you are just misreading us. Even me and my best friends I've ever had have made each other get very angry, and we always snap back, and add to our sense of humor after enough time has passed. Not every lady hates your guts, you just gotta start as friends and take it way slower. The best marriages were grown over time from close, sometime even distant, friendships.

It would be better, I think, to focus on getting an advanced degree at this point, rather than dating. I dropped out of public school also. A college degree is really necessary to get ahead in this economy unless you're a genius like Bill Gates. No job = no date, regardless of Asperger's. I went to good colleges without me or my family paying a cent in tuition. It is possible, but you need to do your own research.

As far as moving to Asia, you really have to have a college degree to be able to make it over there. In Japan, for example, almost everybody has one. Education is very valued in East Asian culture, even more so than it is in the U.S., and it's pretty valued here too. I just don't see a way forward for someone like you that doesn't involve getting a college degree.

Mr. 1000Knives is obviously intelligent. I mean, you do see people who have college degrees and who have atrocious spelling and grammar. There are plenty of people who just slide on through college.

He could easily get English-teaching jobs in Taiwan, if he wanted. Most language schools there don't check your credentials--if you're a presentable White American, then you're in.

Japan might be similar.

This makes for an interesting topic of itself--how we go about filtering and selecting potential mating partners.

Say that I have in mind a shy White woman with nice jugglies. I eliminate everyone who isn't a shy White woman with nice jugglies from my potential breeding pool, and eventually come to focus on you (because of your hair, smell, or other secondary qualities that may trigger a hormonal reaction).

Or, would you rather that I just came to you straight away, without refering to my list of qualifications, and then took your shy demeanor, racial features and nice jugglies as a bonus?

With regard to prefering Chinese cultural traits and White racial features--there are plenty of people in America who are of Chinese descent and who are culturally American. I wonder how many White people there are who grew up in China and who are culturally Chinese? If such a woman exists, then she might fit the ticket perfectly.

Here is another career path that requires no education.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/06/29/ ... index.html

Quote:
For a day, a weekend, a week, up to even a month or two, Chinese companies are willing to pay high prices for fair-faced foreigners to join them as fake employees or business partners.

Some call it "White Guy Window Dressing." To others, it's known as the "White Guy in a Tie" events, "The Token White Guy Gig," or, simply, a "Face Job."

And it is, essentially, all about the age-old Chinese concept of face. To have a few foreigners hanging around means a company has prestige, money and the increasingly crucial connections -- real or not -- to businesses abroad.....

I saw a program about the window dressing jobs a while back. I think it's fascinating. If I were younger and had some friends who would go with me, I might travel and teach English or help people practice their English for money. I might have even tried to do this window dressing stuff, if they hire females too. (Probably not. Some cultures are still very pro male especially in business.)

According to the program, if you were male, had fair skin and blond hair and were tall, you made the most money. And also they didn't really want anyone older than about 40. Young tall handsome blond men were the ideal. Most of them were (unemployed) actors.

I have also heard of places in some countries in which room and board and some pay is given for English speaking Brits or Americans of any description to simply sit and talk with people who are practicing their English.

The only problem is, if you are female, there is always the shadow of possibly being kidnapped in a foreign country for human trafficking purposes. That still happens and the odds go up if you are an exotic to that location. A lot of blonds still disappear answering ads for hostess jobs or English teachers. I am not pointing fingers at a specific place. It happens worldwide.

Anyone else think that the nature of this post is highly racist? Or at the very least, filled with stereotypes.

This thread is a little racy. Sorry if I was a little stereotyping myself, I tried not to. Mouishiwake arimasen. :oops:

Yep, I've found out apparently I'm just a huge dick and that's why girls don't like me.

My ex gf whom I would have stayed with for a long time if I hadn't had to return to the U.S. due to my two-year visa expiring fit this.

She was half Russian and half Manchu (Chinese minority group who are more European-looking), 5'10, good at drinking vodka and playing sports, and fit, with good proportions in everything, just like I like. But her personality and culture were Chinese, so it was a perfect match all around. Too bad I had to leave.

I have bought a kindle recently, and have been downloading cheap books from Amazon. Here is a little extract from the book This is Thailand: A story of love, sex, and betrayal in the tropics by Marek Lenarcik.

Mali is a tall, black-haired 30 year-old with a nice smile. We exchanged formalities, caught a quick breakfast on the street and began the journey back to my apartment....

We entered my modest flat and I was pleased at her lack of reaction when she saw that there was only one bed. After a short trip to the bathroom, I came out to find that she had made the bed and had put two of my t-shirts into the cabinet.

"Thank you, Mali. You are my guest. You don't have to do that."

"No problem. Every woman should look after her man", she answered with a smile.

"Wow. I guess we should organize some special training here for European women."

"The women in Europe don't act like this?"

"Not at all."

"I think it's natural."

"I think so, too.".......I put on my emergency set of elegant clothes thing about all of my European ex-girlfriends who, in comparison to Thai women, acted like men in skirts.


It isn't just that Asian chicks are shy and polite--they also (comparatively speaking) treat their men like kings.

I'd be careful with this. It could be interpreted in a wrong way. So here is my non-sexist spin, basically agreeing:

Sure, a Chinese girl will take good care of you, but she will expect you to take good care of her too. Maybe "milder, nicer" personality is a better way to put it. It's not that Chinese women are submissive; in fact, in some areas, the men are submissive to the women more so than the other way around (Chengdu being a good example). I'd say they are milder and shyer, and I am mild and shy too, so it's kind of a mutual thing.
