'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.)

“It’s a trap.”

Not nearly as much as American women are...it’s all a probability game. For a real (as opposed to sham) marriage, the odds are MUCH HIGHER for success with an immigrant that still has traditional values, than an American whose friends and familiy yell DIVORCE the first time the girl has a complaint. Just better odds, and much of that is due to who’s around them.

Eight years ago my cousin married a Phillipino gal he met thru one of those international dating sites. Due to his lifestyle, he's the last person I would ever have expected to marry ahead of me........

She loves his hunting and fishing and everything else, they have been a perfect match.

He's invited me to northern Michigan for their annual Phillipino picnic on July 26, obviously trying to match me up with a single gal.........LOL!

There’s a perception that American women are spoiled, slovenly, conniving, self-centered, arrogant, and just generally a pain in the ass to be around. In other words, they followed the Hillary model. I’d have to say it’s true in a frightening percentage of cases. Must have something to do with 30 years of girls being raised to believe they are oppressed, entitled, and that they can do no wrong. That said, I prefer eastern European women and latinas to most Asians (with a huge exception being made for Filipinas).

The one second from the right is Sunny.

KC has dibs on her. :p

Long hair or short, dark hair or blonde.... she can pull it all off. Dressed up or casually frumpy she still looks great, even when selling banana milk.

If he was, he'd be saying oh ship, what did I do?

My girlfriend is Filipino and does NOT like Filipino men because they generally adopted Latin machismo and assume they have a right to be philanderers. She thinks American men treat women better than Filipino men do, on average.

Eunjung can really act too. She has been in several shows and films. Her stupid and clueless face is precious.

lol.

Good for you. This generation of Koreans are as materialistic as Americans, although generally more polite and respectful than Americans.

If you can only have one, Sunny is a good choice, but never underestimate Park Bom

I think she and Dong-Wook would make a good couple but I wish he would have stepped up for her over that bogus controversy. He was way too diplomatic. Just my opinion of course.
