"White males only want Sex from a Woman!"

Chinese (and many other Asian cultures) people can't/won't do that to their parents because they have the Confucian values of family fealty totally ingrained in them.

I wish they bloody would.

 

At around age 16 it is still relatively normal in western cultures as well to give a shit about what your parents think in the dating department.

 

Yeah, I know.

My mom liked all my boyfriends anyways... so I guess I can't really say if I cared or not other than when I was a teenager I didn't care much about what they thought about other things, like if my hair was dyed green or if I gave myself piercings with safety pins, etc....

 

Of course, but it is TOTALLY different in their culture. I can't even begin to explain it. It's really hard to understand unless you have experienced it.

Her parents attitude is typical. The fact that she hasn't been that proactive in standing up to them is also typical.

 

You don't have to explain to me, I saw a clear example just recently I understand the difference, just saying: we are generally not as void of it like AT happened to be.

 

You are a decent human being. :sunny:

 

You're jumping to conclusions :daisy:

 

Then we don't have to guess your nationality anymore.

 

I don't think I did give shit actually at that age. But race wasn't an issue, because I grew up in an area with very few immigrants, so never met any girls of other races or nationalities until later on.

'Class' was more what my parents were into.

 

Yea, I didn't care BUT my parents (well, I keep saying parents but I only lived w my mom).. so, my MOM didn't care about either race or class. All she cared about was... if it wasn't a real super bad boy, always in trouble and stuff. And I dated guys of different races but all were nice guys... we all got into a little trouble but nothing major. So, anyways, my point is, my mom didn't have any unreasonable requests or preferences anyways towards who I would date...

 

It's your relationship, not their's. They have no business meddling in your love life. Well, I mean, in the end anyway. And if you're still in your teens, as has been said, it can matter more... still, what I said holds fairly well true.

Just something to keep in mind.

*Edit* You say you're in your twenties? Not your parent's business anymore

 

My parents thought of themselves as middle class, and I was only supposed to date girls from the same background. But actually, those were the only girls I got to meet anyway, so really there was never any real conflict.

 

Parents always have a defensive opinion about their child dating someone they disagree with.
It's their defense mechanism to try and ward you away from what they don't want.

You should tell them what you wrote in one of the threads, that you think sex is gross and disgusting and that you are still a virgin and I'm sure they won't worry so much
