Would you date a half Asian girl or guy?

[Anonymous]

Do you guys find girl in thumbnail attractive?

[lilyanony1]

I was totally taken in by a Japanese guy recently.
But it seems he has a kink.
His profile says ⛓️
I didn't really know what that meant.
then he sent me his bdsm profile...
and I have been warned off him by my friend especially since mine is so vanilla

Mine is standard

I love North Eastern Asian men.
I find some of the very attractive but it is very rare for one of them to approach me a black girl...

[Asker]

Maybe you can approach one

[lilyanony1]

Umm I guess if they're clearly known to be single. But randomly on the street... No.

[Asker]

Yes I can understand approaching someone randomly on street can be weird. Thing is many east Asian guys are very shy so.

[lilyanony1]

Ermmm I'm not entirely sure that's true. I will consider trying next time... But I'm a little apprehensive. Guys have been odd. And as mentioned the kink thing I find rather scary.

[Asker]

English is not my first language apprehensive mean being scared?

[Asker]

Also are you American?

[lilyanony1]

British. And yes I am feeling cautious. I'm finding that the men I'm meeting are very unusual. And not very nice. Often incredibly insulting. And not really able to "date".

[Asker]

Yes dating is really hard. What about British guys do they like half Asian girls? also do you think they would find half Iranian and half Japanese girl on that thumbnail attractive

[lilyanony1]

I'm not entirely sure tbh.
London is a very multicultural society.
I can't see any reason why not be equally it's pointless dating a British guy unless you live here. Online dating very rarely manifests into anything.

[NamerOfStars]

It kinda depends on what the other half is. Half Asian girl/half Iranian girl? Sure. Half Asian girl/half tape dispenser? Maybe not. Half Asian girl/half seal lion? That might work; I could see some kind of Asian selkie. Half Asian girl/half ant lion, however... nad, it'd still be worth it, if only to see her bite open pickle jars. Half Asian girl/half monster truck might be interesting, too.

I realize this probably isn't what you meant, but you've got be thinking, and now the standard half Asian girl/other half also Asian girl is sounding like one of the LESS interesting options.

[HighValue]

If she comes from Iran or is Muslim then no for sure. If she is just half Asian then maybe depending on how compatible we would be, but it would also depend on her facial looks because most of the time I don't find Asians attractive. On a very rare occasion I will find one to be a 5 or 6, but it is rare.

[Asker]

You don't find half Iranian and half Japanese girl in the thumbnail attractive?

[KelleyNice]

Of course I would. Whether half Asian or full Asian.

[MCheetah]

I don't have a problem with dating Hapas and race is largely irrelevant for me.

@highlyvolatile, how does this video make you feel?

[Asker]

Which video?

[HighlyVolatile]

It's a mixed experience for me! I got really nice Japanese people who understand I'm half and they seem sensitive. Maybe they dealt with hafus before. My wife was one of them.

Then I got others who are curious but nice, but they might ask me if I love McDonald's or Wal-Mart or if my favorite food is pizza (it is, by the way!). But they ask a lot of questions that obviously stereotype me, but they don't mean anything bad by it.

Then finally I got people who are like, "You don't belong here! Get the hell out of our country!" And that's when -- combined with my poor drinking habits -- I end up in jail overnight for disorderly conduct. This last group is very small, and usually very young -- like teens to university age.

Pros and cons. I can attribute my greatest relationships at least in part to being mixed/hafu and also my greatest and most unnecessary conflicts.

[MCheetah]

@HighlyVolatile
So in Japan, the term for half-Asian is Hāfu, and in the US, it's Hapa. Interesting.
Maybe OP appreciates your answer.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Huh, I didn't know about either nickname. Are their ones for other half Asian decents? or is it specifically just half japanese?

I'm so far removed from modern slang these days. Not too long ago I was still scratching my head about what people meant by "no cap"

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome It is not so much a nickname as a category when pure Japanese call us who are only half-Japanese "hafu", with "hafu" being an approximation of "half". It's usually not the kindest of Japanese people who call us that. The kindest of my friends call me "double" rather than "half". But I am okay with "hafu". My experiences are split, after all. :-D

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile Ah, so its a slur in Japan. in the US describing specific genetic ethnicities rather than just saying "mixed" isn't a slur, because the majority of people here does not find any particular combination to be superior or inferior, and any cannotations denoting either would be admitted as personal preferences in dating and not much else.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome It's difficult for me to relate it that way. It might be analogical to call an Asian person a "mongloid" in English. It's technically accurate according to the way racial phenotypes are classified, and not all people who use such terms are necessarily hostile. But it does lack a sensitivity for those who care much about sensitivity.

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile I MUCH prefer scientific terms for describing things, I don't mind if people use that term or any other accurate genetically descriptive term to describe my genetic background.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome Analytical mind, I see! I find communication bandwidth among human beings too limited to be so precise all the time. I value imprecision at times with metaphors and exercises left to the reader.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I think the only way I would take issue with it is if the classification system was outdated based on current knowledge, or of the label they used did not match my genetic makeup.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome I tend to value our potential to become less offended as listeners since the listeners tend to far outnumber the speakers.

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile But yeah I'm the analytical creative type.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome That's a turbulent life in my experience when pitted against society. The creative side wants to far surpass what the analytical side is capable of perfectly analyzing and communicating.

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile I think that its only possible to never offend analytical people. Everyone who doesn't analyze things to that extent, tends to not have enough set patterns or rules in their judgments, so it's a crap shoot as to what does or doesn't offend them, with no logic or reasoning/knowledge/predictability behind it.

For this reason and others, I favor being analytical for practical reasons, it's easier to understand languages for example, when definitions have universal standards. like having words only have a single meaning for example, or an object, living or not, having only discriptions that explain it's origins, composition, functionality, flexibility, etc.

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile For me they compliment eachother, the creative side is for fun, the analytical side for understanding.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Often you must understand something to create variants as well, and often you must be creative to figure out solutions to problems, so most of the time I'm being both simultaneously.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome The difficulty I've found as one who might also describe myself that way is that I can't appease analysts so well in communicating ideas that are ambiguous and ill-defined like "harmony" or "beauty".

If I relate it to visual arts, I can teach the nature of perspective complete with vanishing points. I can even go into the physics of it. That's the simple part. But I can't teach someone how to draw well just based on that knowledge. I can teach the "how" but not the "why". I can teach how to turn into a human photocopying machine of Leonardo with his left-handedness and tendency to hatch from bottom-left to top-right, but I can't teach the "why" part of why he drew what he drew, or why he chose to draw what he chose, or why he chose to draw it that way.

The most stubborn analysts in my experience want to learn more than I'm capable of effectively communicating to them when they want to know how I do what I do. So I find myself reduced to figures of speech with the hopes that they'll learn it on their own, and with great potential to far surpass me pursuing the same goals.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome I find a recurring problem is with the snail's pace of our communication. If I was dealing with a robot who could download the entirety of my life's knowledge in a nanosecond, no problem! But in dealing with human beings, I can't teach them the sum of my life's knowledge in a nanosecond so that they can match or surpass what I do let alone confidently do so in ten years. Given that bottleneck, I often find I can't help but favor ambiguous language and exercises left to the reader so that they can learn on their own what I fail to communicate.

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile

Harmony is when a number of things higher than 1, are working together in what functionally speaking, is a cooperative and complimentary manner, or a manner in which the componants do not harm, impede, or eliminate eachother. Rather like what I just mentioned about analytical and creative sides.

Beauty is accurately described as sensory or logistically pleasing thoughts, images, videos, sounds, smells, touches, ideas, or other experiences, that provoke an admiring subjective response.

The why part of your equation is always based on preferences, so why anyone might do anything can be simplified to:
"because they wanted to, or someone else wanted them to, or because they had to to get something else they wanted, or to avoid something they didn't want".

The what is usually more important than the why for the reason.

It is often pointless to try to understand why someone might prefer something, since preferences are governed by an individual's genetics interacting with their environment while being compared with their interpretation or prediction of prior or future experiences.

[TheSpaceGnome]

for that reason*

[TheSpaceGnome]

Simply put, you don't teach why, you teach how.

The student then asks themselves why they would want to do it, then from that conclusion, either uses your how, or doesn't.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome I agree to a large extent but all the precision we can muster will never allow me to communicate what concepts like beauty and harmony really mean to me. I have to cop out and leave it as an exercise to the reader, so to speak in the context of creating things I create. And I want the ambiguity in interpretation with what little I can effectively communicate, since I'm hoping people will deviate or, even ideally, surpass me in what they create.

[HighlyVolatile]

@TheSpaceGnome Let us be friends! I give you a follow. I've drank so much that I'm afraid I'm already so inarticulate! :-D

[TheSpaceGnome]

@HighlyVolatile Yes, but thats because you are trying to objectively describe subjective pleasure subjectively, and thats impossible. No one can describe why they like any given form or function to anyone because no language is capable of anywhere near the number of variations that art is.

[Jelvin]

I mean that thing is back then I would have but unfortunately as of now I don’t think ever will. I usually don’t discriminate when it comes to race but unfortunately I had bad experiences with half Asian people. I live in Uk (as a South Asian man) and they had been quite arrogant and very condescending to me. I think it is due to Hollywood and Gen Z fetishising them and it must have given them a bit of an ego. And of course Hollywood despises South Asian so they are clearly trying to us up to face off with one another. But that’s my take.

[Jelvin]

I meant “set us up to face off each other”. Sorry for the typo error.

[ohshee]

All I can say is Asian women are absolutely beautiful and look how smart all of those girls are they can speak more than one language you can tell each one of them are beautiful person on the inside and that's all that counts for me but I absolutely love the beauty on the outside too yes I would date and Asian girl right now this minute if I could find one did I was compatible with

[jshm2]

Nope.

Not because of the race.

Mainly as half castes in general tend to be crazy or pretentious. They tend to "belong" to neither culture. It's one reason a lot of people avoid them - less drama.

[Asker]

What if they're completely integrated? Like half iranian and half Japanese girl is completed integrated she don't even speak Persian

[SlendyNerd]

The vast majority of the time, absolutely yes! Lauren Chen is the closest thing to a celebrity crush I have, and the girl in the thumbnail is pretty too.
This is assuming the Asian part is eastern Asian, like Japanese or Korean. It's more of a mixed bag when you get to Arab or Indian women.

[Asker]

Well I was mostly talking about east and South East Asian. I find many half indian and half arab attractive. For example girl on the thumbnail is half Iranian

[SlendyNerd]

It's still mostly yes. I'm a lot more concerned about whether someone is overweight or not. Arabs and Indians are rarely overweight compared to other races, so I would find most of them attractive.

[TheLoneTerran]

I don't really care what their ethnic background is. It's something out of their control, like skin color, so factoring it in doesn't make much sense.

[Avicenna]

I’ve had a girlfriend who was half Japanese and half white. Would go it again.

[Asker]

So only half white not something like half Iranian or half Nigerian

[Avicenna]

That’s not what I said. I would date a woman who is half Asian, regardless of what the other half is.

[Aurora1010]

Sure, I've seen some cute half korean half white YouTubrs like TerryTV

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, though I don't find the specific girl in the thumbnail attractive, but I've seen others I found attractive.

[genericname85]

i'll date almost any ethnicity xD but japanese i like particularly. they look cute.

[schittywok]

I'd like me some Sandra Lee. That's a babe with the right attitude!!!

[Birbman]

Why would I?
And to answer the update, no idea, I don't find anyone attractive in general

[JamesDiaz11]

I'd marry a half Asian girl...

[Asker]

Well I guess?

[BCA6010]

I've known many, and dated one.

[Birdlegs]

Yea I have no issue with it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I would date a half Asian girl/woman

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Asker I like the girl in the Thumbnail is pretty/cute

[Reaper1985]

sure if we matched up well.

[Reaper1985]

Girl with the white scarf is physically attractive yes.

[zagor]

Sure. Unless it's the daughter of a friend.

[dolemite89]

ya i don’t care what race a girl is

[Zlantur2]

Yes, I like Asians a lot. She is pretty.

[Anonymous]

I most certainly would. :)

[2facedfa1ry]

sure

[slatyb]

Of course.

[Anonymous]

Yes I would I love Asian girls

[TacosRAwesome]

Sure why not.

[LimitedBenefits101]

no thanks

[Asker]

Any reason?

[Anonymous]

Depends.

[Asker]

On what

[RuthlessAggression]

I would!

[one1wild00]

Sure, why not.

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[shortster]

Yes, I would.

[888theGreat]

yep, why not?

[TheAfrikan]

A girl i would date.

[JesseJayNeak]

Did it before

[fireforeffect]

Absolutely
