What does "the other way around" mean? I don't get it.

As long as we're on this topic, IHS, would you mind providing me some honest insight?
What do Asian guys in general think about white women? Also, do these rules apply to Pacific Islanders?
I want to hear from the other TI Asian guys on this issue as well. Anyone?

Me being bi-racial (Asian and White) I had no restrictions and liked many types of races (including mixed races) but I did have a preference to Asian. I was a brunette chaser during my single days. Well, sometimes went for the Asian blonds... Actually now that I think about it, I went for a lot of Asian blondes . But I think with Asian guys, they have no problem dating White women but there is a lot of cultural pressure to stay within your own race (down to the nationality level) when you settle down. In reality, most cultures (Asian and others including White) subscribe to this philosophy. My kids are tri-racial so I have no idea who they are going to end up with when they get older.
Regarding Samoan's. You need to also include Tongan's as well, they are on a small island like Samoan's and people usually mistake them for Samoan because of their looks and build. They are very open and friendly as well but you have to know Samoan's and Tongan's do not like each other.

Dating no problem, marriage different story. Asian guys find most races attractive. I personally think Latinas below 25 are the hottest chicks ever, prior to them aging and ballooning off the tortillas...j/k. ???
When it comes to marriage, most asian parents and grandparents don't speak english so there will be communication issues. Moms would think their son was getting starved or served terrible wannabe asian food by their non-asian wife, causing mom to stress. There are also a lot of asian traditions/customs that the non-asian wife would not know and that an asian mom will either voice in anger or hold and be bitter/resentful towards the wife. This is why asians want marriage within their own (e.g. korean to korean, chinese to chinese).
From a guys standpoint, asian girls do age better. I'm in my 30's and still get carded for cigarrettes/beer without fail...even when the cashier is 18 themselves and should know what someone less than 18 looks like. Also, I want to maintain my culture and want my child raised the same way...what can I say. I have a hard time believing two korean americans can do it, let alone w/ a non-korean. my 2 cents.

was this criteria established after your divorce or used for your first marriage as well? it seems very logical but like a prenup, seems very cold

Asian girls love me. Their mothers do, too. As the years go by I notice most of my closer male friends tend to be Asian now, as well. Everything I post on Facebook, 99% of all comments and likes come from Asian girls. The funny thing is, it was never by design. I was never (and am still not) one of those yellow fever whiteboys. I never even dated Asian until I was 28 (mostly into the Latinas before that, go figure). Couldn't even use chopsticks at that age. Twelve years later still have a Mandarin vocabulary of about 25 words, and that mostly consists of food and terms of endearment. There are still more things on any authentic Chinese restaurant menu I DON'T eat than I do eat.
But above all I love my wife very much and respect everything about her --- of which her culture is first and foremost. I have never and will never ask her to be more like me, or give up anything that is important to her. I have never tried to "take her away" from who she is, and better yet --- have actively participated in who she is. Even if it means I let her put Hello Kitty family stickers on my car.
Love and respect your spouse no matter what they are --- and don't expect them to be anything but who they are --- and unconditional acceptance by those close to them will follow. Not immediately (it takes time) but it will come. If you love that person, though, it is worth the extra effort gain the acceptance of all those who were important to them before you came along --- even if they don't accept you at first.
(for the record, we got $0 in downpayment assistance. The #1 son, did, however).

I learn something new every day on TI.rkp said:that night ended with my dad and her dad shaking hands and breaking a coconut to officially start the "alliance"
rkp said:we break coconuts a lot. new car, new job, any religious ceremonies...list goes on.
actually new car even involves driving over 4 lemons, 1 under each tire. maybe it symbolizes you crushing the curse of buying a lemon
