I have a bit of a fetish for Asian cultures, food, travel and esp men. I am only attracted to Asian men these days, for the past four years I have only dated/slept with Asian guys. I can speak Chinese and I am going to start learning Korean soon, to be able to communicate with my boyfriends family. I love almost all Asian food except for Taiwanese. I have travelled extensively around the world, but my fondest memories are my trips to Asian countries. I really, REALLY want to travel to Korea, Thailand and Cambodia. Does anyone else have a kind of fetish for a particular country, ethnic group, race etc? I get the impression off my friends that I am a little strange.
This can actually be a bit offensive if you're the one being fetishized. I've had a few white girls who whenever speaking to me would suddenly go on and on about how much their loved "black" culture and music. It feels a bit objectifying, to be honest. On the other hand, I used to have a thing for Asians when I was younger, so I shouldn't say anything...
I love martial arts movies and have a virtual library of DVD’s but asian men are the ugliest mofo’s on this planet Hotwater
hmmm, i don't know about that.... (photo:google) (photo: masterfile.com) photo: asianpopcorn.com i love japanese culture. i'm an anime nut, but i sometimes wonder why the characters don't really look japanese.
Databunny, that last pic is Rain - I think he's the hottest guy on the planet. I agree that this fetish can sometimes be offensuve to the fetishee. However, when I was living in China I was the fetishee as a white woman to the Asian guys - I loved it.
meh, what's so bad about being adored really? Very few people even come out and say "God I love Ethiopians" so I wouldn't find it offensive. IRT: Though I'm attracted to amazing pussy of all colors, being that I have a Japanese-studying background, perhaps I have a small soft spot for asians? Even checking out slightly nerdy asian chics that probably wouldn't get a third glance had they been black or white. Though I would never fetish to the point things turn exclusive... In fact I think it's GOOD that I can find a little extra beauty or amusement from any culture or race, WHATEVER the reason, so I don't stigmatize it as much.
Asian women now that’s an entirely different story :2thumbsup: BTW historically asian men have found it necessary to asset absolute control over their women because they understans and accept their Inadequacies’ and know they can’t compete Hotwater
i wouldn't say I have a fetish for Asians - that's kind of a very generalized assumption that all Asians are alike in some way - which, as you well know, is not the case. Having said that, I've corresponded with Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese women via language exchange type pen pal programs, and I have to say that I've enjoyed chatting with them. In my experience, they are refreshingly friendly, nice and well-educated, which makes for stimulating conversation. One thing I've experienced personally, especially with the Japanese and Chinese women I've chatted with, is that if you express an opinion that they don't agree with, they don't get offended and just shut you down. They'll express they're own opinion in counter point, admit that they disagree with you and then leave it at that. They don't hold it against you, and they certainly don't seem to take it personally. So as long as you're not and outright rude, insulting, jerk-off - it's okay if you disagree on certain things, even major things, they still want to chat. It's not like your under constant evaluation and they genuinely seem interested in what you have to say, and not just how it relates to them. It's like they actually encourage you to engage them in a conversation and not just listen to and approve of everything they have to say. But that's just my experience, which is limited at best and mostly under the circumstance of conversation for the purposes of English as a second language. Nevertheless, some of the friendships I've made have endured and sometimes the conversations were more than small talk, and I still felt that same glorius absence of being evaluated or judged. To contrast this with one example of a date I recently went on with a (caucasian) American woman. We went out to dinner, and had a funny and pleasant conversation - then out of the blue she asked me if I thought might ever want to have children. I said I wasn't sure (bad idea). She started pressing me on the point, "What do you mean you're not sure - how can you not be sure?" So, like a dumb ass, I told her I wasn't sure because I liked the idea of raising children, but that I didn't like the way the future was looking and that I often wondered if it might be irresponsible to bring children into the world considering some of the environmental and energy storm clouds on the horizon. Well her face changed and to make a long story short - the conversation abated and the date fizzled. I've had very similar conversation with 2 of my asian pen pals - the one from Ho Chi Minh City and the other from Fukuoka-shi and neither one of them seemed to disapprove of me for expressing the same opinion, though my Vietnamese friend said that she though it was a pity, because she thought I'd be a nice dad. Now maybe it doesn't matter because these women are admittedly using me to improve their conversational English skills. I don't know, but I get the feeling that things would feel the same if we were having dinner across the table from each other.
I don't think I'm obsessed with any group of men. They all have the goods and the bads. I'm not fond of Asian men, though (sorry if I offended any of you Asian men...I'm sure you are sexy and whatnot, just not to me ) I do love learning about the Asian cultures, though...especially the ancient traditions, Buddhism, and other beliefs. I find it fascinating.
It's very natural to be attracted to new or exotic things, to fetish-size. It's kind of silly we make it out to a be a bad thing. I bet other parts of the world don't care as much. As Westerners are very negative, overly competitive, and just right go about results the wrong way, imo.
I'm addicted to European landscapes, alps and snow plains. I'd like to venture into Northern Asia, Mongolia and the colder areas of China. I'm afraid the heat in certain parts of Asia would affect me. I don't do well in hot/humid environments. I think the jungles would be cool though. I really like Mongolian history and I take to barren landscapes. This is what makes Scandinavia and the central forests of Germany and Austria so beautiful, the reduction of other humans in the area. I really want to go to Antarctica and I think if I can I'll head way north to Hammerfest and watch the Northern Lights.
I don't think fetishize is how I'd put it, but yes, I'm very attracted to societies vastly different from mine. I lived in Cambodia for a year, it was great, the people were great, and life was good, in a lot of ways better than here. (Texas) There were downsides though. the biggest was the heart-wrenching poverty. I'd like to stay a lot of other places in Asia, China and Mongolia, and Georgia if that counts. Maybe Nepal and parts of rural India. As far as girls, I've always preferred latin girls, but a girl is a girl really.
I've lived in Asia (Thailand) the last 3 years and spent another year traveling it. I used to be not attracted to Asian women at all, but then I went.. now I am just about sworn off western women. Some of them appeal to me physically - though I usually think they are too fat - but it's more about the culture than appearance. I find them too entitled, whining, and high-maintenance. (I work in a tourism industry, so I am still exposed to lots of western women) I've been living with my Japanese girlfriend for 2,5 years and it's such a ride. She does so much for me/us, and she puts up with an unreasonable amount of my shit. None of my old gfs were anywhere near such quality. That is partly personality, of course, and compatibility, but her culture makes her much more pleasant to be around in general. And I've always been interested in Asian historical culture, especially Japanese and Chinese. Ninjas, samurais, kung fu. Hell yeah.
btw historically white guys have made up the story of Asian men's 'inadaquecies' because otherwise all the girls would be with the Asians :2thumbsup: The myth about Asian men 'down there' is a MYTH - trust someone who knows.

I'm black so I wouldn't know anything about the white mans' mythology However I can confirm it's no myth that we black men are hung like stallions hotwater
I have interest in Central Asia, it is very beautiful. Some best memories is in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Tajikistan also is very beautiful, in each season. I come from far east / North Asia, which can make confusion to people. My ethnicity is Slavic, but people say, I thought you will look Mongolian!
