Has anyone ever had any luck with asian women in Hawaii? Or are those Hawaiian asians Americanized, too?
Hello Traveller, it's your fellow HAer Iraqvet2003. I have been to Hawaii a few times myself. In fact the city of Honolulu is my birthplace!!! I was born at the Tripler Army Medical Center (on January 25, 1973) when my father was serving in the Army and stationed at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu. As well as the setting for one of my favorite T.V. shows, "HAWAII FIVE-O"!Anyway, as for Honolulu's population, it is true that over half of this city's population is Asian. And out of that group most are of Japanese decent followed by Filipinos/Filipinas. Then followed by smaller groups of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Samoans, and Native Hawaiians. The rest of Honolulu's and Hawaii's population consist of Whites/Caucasian, Mixed (part-Hawaiian, half-Asian, etc.), and small number of Blacks and Latinos/Latinas.
As for dating Asian women in Hawaii, personally traveller, I haven't dated any women from there. Your best luck might be with some Filipinas on the island. But I do know many women there are "Americanized", cliquish, and materialistic. This is because Honolulu is also home to many wealthy people. It is just as the state of Hawaii, one of the MOST EXPENSIVE PLACES to live in the U.S. (just as San Francisco, Seattle, L.A., NYC, D.C., etc.) Not to mention, some famous people such as Bill Gates and Jackie Chan have a vacation home on the island as I had found out during a guided tour. And unfortunately, as Winston has stated in his E-book, "Happier Abroad" wealth in America brings with it SOCIAL EXCLUSIVITY.
However Traveller, is that Hawaii is a magnet for FOREIGN TOURISTS, WORKERS, AND EXCHANGE STUDENTS. Because tourism is the largest source of income for the state followed by military spending due to the large presence of bases (Schofield-Army, Joint Pearl-Hickam AFB- Air Force/Navy, Kaneohe Bay- Marine Corps, etc.). Traveller, you will find the largest concentration of tourists along Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana Shopping Center/Park. And most of these foreign tourists consist of mostly of Japanese, followed by Australians (Aussies) , Canadians, New Zealanders (Kiwis), and a few Europeans. As for foreign female Asian students you will most likely find them at the University of Hawaii-Moana (U.H.), Chaminde University of Honolulu, and Hawaii Pacific University (HPU). Otherwise, you may have to try the other islands of Maui or the Big Island (Hawaii) to look for women.
