ASIAN DATING:
Asian Single Women Have the Advantage.
When it comes to dating, Asian single women have the advantage. According to a study done by the University of California at Irvine, Asian women are "the most desirable of all women."
The study, conducted between 2004 and 2005 identified Asian women as one of the particular preferences of white men which researchers theorized may have to do with the media's portrayal of Asian women in a gentle, caring light.
While Asian single women living in the West have the advantage of being highly prized, they also have greater access to a larger number of men to date. They typically have greater economic resources to determine the direction of their dating life and their lives in general.
Single women from Southeast Asia often have fewer advantages due to the weak economies of their native countries resulting in less economic opportunity. Therefore, the Internet can be an excellent tool for Asian women looking to immigrate to the West, meet a love match, and start a new life.
These matches between Asian women and Western men can be as loving and happy as any match. However, commonly held myths should be addressed. The notion that some Western men have that Asian women are some sort of theatrical "Geisha" or "China doll" is absurd and often quite offensive.
Asian women, like women of any culture, have depth, soul and complexity and deserve to be treated with equality and respect--not as subservient maids.
Conversely, Western men who take offense at an Asian woman's concern with their financial stability must first understand that ANY woman looking for an appropriate mate and potential father of her children will look for a man with means to support a family. These are simply practical concerns.
When cultural barriers can successfully be crossed and motivations more clearly understood, love matches will have a greater chance to grow and blossom for Asian single women.
Asian Dating Sites: Many Great Opportunities.
If you're looking to meet single people within the Asian community there are a number of great opportunities to do this on Asian dating sites.
While individuals who live in urban areas often have greater access to people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, those who live in more suburban or rural areas often lack the means to connect to the kind of people they'd like to meet.
This is why the Internet is such an ever-growing, ever-popular, and valuable resource when it comes to connecting with potential love matches - for the Asian community or anyone looking for love.
Dating sites typically use one of three different approaches to connect Asians with each other as well as individuals who are interested in meeting and dating people of Asian ethnicity. Joining one of the big dating websites can be a first step.
These sites typically ask in their preliminary questionnaires about certain criteria such as what your ethnic background is and what ethnicities you are interested in being matched with. However, these larger sites often don't have very significant numbers of specific ethnic groups.
As such, they often offer partnerships with smaller, specialty dating sites, such as Asian dating sites, catering to certain niche groups within the Asian community - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.
These sites can help connect Asian daters who are looking to reach a certain group of people. These specialized sites also offer a friendlier environment, especially for people who are interested in people within the Asian community who share their heritage, background, and values.
Some sites also specialize in helping Asian women and Western men meet. Finally, if you are open to meeting someone in Asia who might be a good match for you and a long distance relationship is something that you would be comfortable with, there are also country-specific dating sites throughout Asia. Whatever your preference, there are numerous sites to fit your Asian dating needs.
Chinese Dating: Common Threads in the Community Fabric.
There are no hard and fast rules for Chinese dating.
As with any other culture, dating within the Chinese community is, and should be, about getting to know a person, learning about what makes them a special and unique, and developing a meaningful relationship.
While not everyone from China shares the same beliefs, there are still common threads that run throughout the fabric of the community, particularly regarding attitudes about dating. The traditions of honor and respect are the cornerstone of the Chinese culture. As such, they figure prominently within every aspect of life including the dating arena. Chinese culture is very family-oriented. Therefore a person's family plays a very significant role in his or her dating life.
Unlike the individualistic dating culture of the West, a Chinese family expects to observe and give input throughout the dating process. They also expect that their thoughts and opinions will be respected and acted upon.
Parents may prefer that their child date someone who is already acquainted with the family and whose family or background is well known. They may, specifically, want their daughters to marry older, more established men who have financial stability and who can provide a more stable home environment. In traditional Chinese culture, going against one's family's wishes is extremely difficult and, therefore, rarely done.
Even someone who is an independent thinker in every other aspect of his or her life may still defer to parental wishes when it comes to whom to date or marry. This is because it is often viewed that dating or marrying the wrong person could bring disgrace or reflect poorly upon the family as a whole.
Honoring the wishes of one's parents is respectful. While particular values feature prominently in Chinese culture, what matters to each person will be different depending on how deep an individual's cultural roots go and what their personal beliefs are.
