you mention that white guys that go to Asia eventually develop yellow fever but white women go to Asia stay on a potato diet.
I wonder how much of this is due to culture traditional in those Asian countries vs lookism? What I mean is on the average most Asian countries ares still male dominate . Most Asian men want a traditional women who be a home maker although this is changing in the develop Asian countries like South Korea and Japan. At the same time I think in those countries like Japan or South Korea has a higher rate of white women with local Asian men compared to CHina or poorer Asian country like the Philippines. I think also in China the average Chinese guy is socially retarded and lack the skill set in talking to a girl. It's like if you want to date a western girl you need to have game as they say. But game is also needed in developed Asian countries like Japan or South Korea but not as hard .
I think there are a myriad of factors with white women in Asia, I think some of it is actually their perceived role in the relationship clashing with their feminist views (most, it not every white woman in Asia who is from the west would describe themselves as such to some degree) but some of it is definitely racism, many women I know won't entertain it - even if they know the local language and are basically happy where they are. I ask them about dating local men - and there are a number of very handsome local men wherever I have been - and they flat out refuse to even consider this an option, a lot of these women would be considered 'left' to the political spectrum and are basically politically liberal in regards issues of race and how they see people who aren't the same colour as them, but this doesn't cross over to dating preferences, this is where I learned that because a woman might be politically liberal then it doesn't mean she is liberal regarding her romantic choices - in a way a woman might support gay marriage but she wouldn't marry a lesbian herself.
China vs Korea? I think Korea has an advantage of having a more western type of nightlife where Korean men can go and meet western women, that kind of helps and there is a growing number of white women (not necessarily western) who are hooked on Korean pop culture. China will catch up with this but they are a good twenty to thirty years behind the Koreans.
Japan? I have no idea.
So I guess how much of it is social economics that is influencing the decision. I mean same with how easy it is for a white guy to get an Asian girl in poor Asian country. In a develop Asian country like South Korea compared to the Philippines. It;s much harder to get a Korean girl vs a filipina for a average white guy.
I think this has little to do with it because Japanese men aren't slaying it with white women all that much either. I think the inherent racism of white women - due to being on top of the dating totem pole has to be recognised and called out - white women tend to be a lot more racist than white men in their dating preferences and the situation in Asia proves it. If it was to do with solely social-economics then Asian-American men would be wildly successful with dating in The States but they aren't (well, not with white women anyway) so I don't think that is much of a factor.
Monied white women will fly all the way to places like Jamaica and The Gambia to f**k teenage beach bums who have a six pack and swinging a big dick. This sex tourism is never much talked about for some reason, might not be as prevelant as say Thailand but it is growing.
I notice here in NYC. With the younger generation (south of 30 years old) I see more Asian guys with white girls. Some of it is because the younger girls are into Kpop or Japanese stuff and if you google youtuble there are youtube blogs of white girls or even black girls that love Asian men. But rarely do you these bloggers in Thailand , Philippines or even China.
There are definitely white women (and other races) who are into Asian men for sure, I worked alongside one a few years ago, a twentysomething British girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, very pretty and she had this massive crush on a Chinese student. So we spoke about this and she was telling me about her racist, nationalist grandad (who she loved very much) who would turn in his grave if he know about her preferences and I said something 'well, f**k him - it's your life, do what makes you happy!' and I advised her that he might be shy and he can't believe his luck (because she was really really attractive...) but it turned out he was just f***ing around and she went back to the UK. So for sure, there are women, very attractive ones too, who like Asian men, but it is nothing like a fair sized number.
I think it's because in those Asian countries ( Chna, Thailand or Philippines) which ironically is easier for a white guy to get an Asian girl but harder in the develop Asian countries but in the developed Asian countries you have higher amount of white girls with Asian men.
I also think in the develop Asian countries the local Asian girls are becoming kind of westernize. And the local Asian men have to raise their game.
You can see how Korean men are now, the way they are dressed and coffiuered, they have to raise their game to get women, and strangely enough, the kind of white man who seems to do well with Korean women in my experience is NOT the kind of man who does well with western women. Korean women seem to like that dopey, nerdy John Denver/Edward Snowden lookalike white guy, the buff dark guy popular with western women seems to fall flat with Korean women - I am not saying they don't get women, but the more you look like Edward Snowden (as a white guy...) the better your chances are.
Saying that though, whatever kind of white guy you are, even an Edward Snowden type - you're only going to attract so much interest in Korea, mind you - it's changing all the time, it really is a society in flux.
Mind you, it is similar in China, Edward Snowden types seem to be popular in China BUT women here have a lot more broader appreciation of different kinds of men - where black guys, middle easterners, other Asians and mixed race Central Asians can all do well.
If you are a tall westerner and have muscles, you'll attract attention off tall Chinese women - of which there are a fair number.
