What does it mean when a guy says, "you're pretty for an Asian"?

[Anonymous]

[MasterDaddyUK]

it means you are pretty... and they just have a bit of an awkward way of saying "You are prettier than a lot of girls who are also from the same race as you are in my opinion"

Overall, take it as the compliment that it was intended as

[Asker]

I would not have given you the MHO. GaG automatically did.

Means you’re pretty within Asian girls but not equally pretty when compared to a white girl for example...

[Asker]

Ya that's what I thought.

[TripleAce]

Ya I’m not saying that’s what he is saying is true or anything... I’m just saying that’s probably what someone means when they use that type of sentence..

[smilingsunshine]

It means he usually doesn't think Asian girls are pretty, but you are surprisingly pretty to him.

[xopretinha]

It means you shouldn’t give him the time of day because he’s an ass

[Asker]

what sucks is I happen to like that guy :(

[JDavid25]

Uuh it means he thinks you are an exception to an otherwise group of women he don't normally think is pretty.

[howlyz]

most of us are hardwired to be attracted to someone within our own race, I think this is written between the lines and he subconsciously said that, I am almost sure that it wasn't meant bad

that he's not normally into Asians, but with you he is...

[Anonymous]

it's a backhanded compliment

he' saying he thinks Asians are GENERALLY ugly

[DamnMan]

He's not into Asians, but thinks you are pretty for the people he's not into.

[TadCurious]

It means he's a callous asshole.

[Anonymous]

It means he wants some.

[Asker]

ya, with a girl that is "not equally pretty when compared to a white girl for example..." @TripleAce
