I'm currently dating an asian girl, who comes from a traditional asian family. I'm chinese myself, but was brought up in an americanized household. We've had a few spats in where she describes me as being 'not asian' enough. When I ask her what that means, she tells me she cannot explain to me because asian girls don't/can't tell these things to their boyfriends, because it's one of those unspoken things, that most asian people know already.

So my question is, directed to asian girls specifically that either have similar background or have friends that are this way,

what is this 'mythical asian guy' that she is describing?

Some things I've been able to wrestle from her and her friends:

- Asian girls are fussy, but the guy will keep chasing regardless, and let her have her way with a lot of things.

- The guy will usually not argue with a girl, even if they both know she's wrong.

- An asian girl will scream and fight and act mean, but in reality really love the guy.

- The asian guy is pretty intuitive about his girlfriend, cause he thinks about her a lot. So he's able to know that she likes certain things, and doesn't need to be told.

- The asian guy has to put more effort into the relationship, simply because he's the guy.

Have you heard or encountered stereotypes like this before, and if you have, any more to add to this list? To me it sounds like a submissive character from a korean drama or something. I'm all for giving her what she wants within reason, but considering she won't flesh this out for me, I have to come ask on a online website =)

what background of asian is she? I'm filipino but I'm brought up very canadian. I had very few asian friends growing up cause I lived in such a white area.

but what she might be referring to is the way you act around her/your family. I mean, if you go to a more "asian" household. it seems like they have more respect. like respect for their elders and stuff. as in, make sure to be extremely polite around her parents. you have to be more formal when speaking to them and thanking them if you're ever over for dinner. etc. that's like my experience around my asian friends.

relationship wise, I agree with the putting A LOT more effort into it, part. I guess hardcore asian girls expect you to court her. you better put in the chase. I guess you're already in a relationship so call her more often, send cute texts. she may just insecure about being in a relationship?

or "not asian" enough might be referring to small things like using chopsticks, eating rice for dinner everyday, and stereotypes like that. haha. but I kinda know what she means, but it's hard to explain.

Ha! Your asian girlfriend is narrow minded. Not "asian enough".

Is she really looking for that stereotypical type of relationship or can she not handle the difference in both y'all's background?

I also find it to be a lot of crap when she said "she cannot explain to me because asian girls don't/can't tell these things to their boyfriends, because it's one of those unspoken things, that most asian people know already." In reality, it means that she can't explain it cause there's no real fact or answer to tell you.because we all have different cultural backgrounds! It's not like asian society has this fraternity/sorority bond that we are in and we all have an unspoken bond that "other" people wouldn't understand.

And the facts that your friends gave you is a load of sh** as well. Sure, some of these facts may be true for some people, but it is not always true. In my aunts side, my Uncle was very dominate and outspoken while my aunt was very housewifey. I especially think the last 2 statements about asian guys are ridiculous.to be honest, I think your friends are just telling you things they want in a GUY which is pretty much.I get to do whatever the hell I want and you have to be understanding in everything that I do, regardless.

In other words, I want a TOOL for a bf!

Don't try to be something you are not and if she can't handle the person that you really are, then maybe she isn't the one.

Sounds like propaganda to me. She'd love to be able to treat you however she pleases while you kneel at her feet. If that's what being an 'Asian guy' entails, be glad you're not enough of one!
