I have noticed this too. At top ivy league universities, there is a STAGGERING, i mean STAGGERING amount of European Jewish + Asian couples. Both Asian Female/Jewish male and the opposite holds strong.

Reasons:

1. Being intelligent is not cool in mainstream America, but in Asian+Jewish families it is top tier. Thus, Jews and Asians congregate at the top level schools at a high rate, leading to inevitably more relationships

2. Both somewhat conservative cultures?

Just think of Zuckerberg and his Asian wife. Think Tiger Mom. I see so many Jewish/Asian relationships at my school now....I am dating a Jewish girl myself.

My Jewish friend explained this to me before. Basically asian women are generally more demure and feminine than your standard white gentile woman. They are usually well educated. They are really the only minority women present in upper class white collar environments. Most are attractive compared with the alternatives. Also Jewish-American women are incredibly spoiled and high maintenance. So the choice becomes obvious.

IMHO, this works for the Jewish guy -> to -> the Asian woman, as Jews are seen as another eastern European ethnicity (with unusual customs, much like the Zoroastrian Persians), not as a separated out religion vis-a-vis medieval pograms/holocaust/etc, by Asians. Thus, for a Jewish guy, he can date an Asian, without the baggage of western Christianity bearing down upon him from an ordinary WASP-y or Mediterranean immediate family. At the same time, it's generally easier to meet Asian women at engineering schools, ivy league programs, etc, because they comprise of a larger percentage of women. As for Jewish women, they seem to me, just to be an more academically oriented version of their gentile American women sisters, a pain in the @ss, long term.

The Jewish-Asian value systems are a natural match, its why it works and we're seeing more of it. Both are pro-education in professional/practical careers, espouse frugality, and work a 9 to 5 type job. Lather, rinse and repeat for their children to do the same.

It's a match made in Hypergamy Heaven.

Trawling for ca$h instead of trawling for c0ck.

Smart Asian women are (or were) thoughtful enough to be pleasant early, to seal the deal [The Ring], while their counterparts are still partying.

I've read forums where men married Asian women (in the West and in her country).
Once you put a ring on it, well ... ymmv.

No! No! No!

Terrible idea. My parents are this. Getting divorced. Bad marriage my entire childhood.

Stop talking shit guys.
