Westerners Learn Asian Dating Traditions
By Jason
Hulott
Different ethnic and racial groups across the
world have
different ideas about how to mate. Some countries don't permit freedom
in dating at all. But for groups that do have permissive dating rules,
the Internet has a dating site for them. African-Americans have their
own sites. Pagans have their own dating sites. Asian dating sites exist
as well. But as with all ethnicities, Asians have a very different
approach to dealing with dating. This has to do with the belief systems
of the Asian people.
Dating an Asian person can be an eye-opening
experience.
It can expand the mind as well. Especially for Westerners who have
never been exposed to another culture. Tradition in Asian countries is
a very powerful thing. Among the differences between Asians and
"Westerners":
*Gender roles are more defined in Asia than in the
West.
Men are the providers. The protectors. Women support the men, taking
care of their needs. This doesn't mean men dominate. Relationships are
quite respectful. It simply means that sex roles are more standardized
than in other places.
*Family is paramount. Dates are brought home to
meet the
parents. These meetings can determine the future of the relationship.
If a parent doesn't like a date, that is the end of it. Traditionally,
Asian countries relied on arranged marriages. Parents would choose
their children's mates. Often, the decision was made based on status.
Or family honor. The children accepted it or learned to accept it.
Fortunately, things are different now. But family still plays a large
role in whom their children date. And marry. Therefore, Asian parents
need to be recognized as part of the process.
*Culture is everything to the traditional Asian
family.
The Asian culture has a lot of yearly celebrations, just as Westerners
do. The difference is that children in Asia don't get out of going to
family get-togethers. So those dating Asians need to understand that
they will be expected to join in the festivities. As possible, of
course.
*Think long-term. Traditionally, dating is a lot
more
formal in Asia than in the West. The goal is long-term. Maybe marriage.
Those wanting a short jaunt with a lot of physical contact are barking
up the wrong tree, so to speak. Asian dating is nothing frivolous.
It is helpful to note that these differences in
culture
are based on perception. Some Asians have lived in the West so long
they have lost some of that tradition. Their values reflect that. They
often date many people. They may be open to gender-role differences.
But don't expect that. Culture runs deep, and though an Asian person
might not follow one tradition from their heritage, they may others.
Asian dating isn't any more complex than dating
anywhere
else. Each culture has its expected dating process. And expectations.
Traditional Asian culture will take precedence over Western culture
most of the time. Simply respecting the differences between the two
very different peoples will help things go more smoothly. People may
even find that the two cultures combine to form a very fruitful union.
A relationship like this only serves to make the world seem smaller.
How to Dating With Asian Woman
By Alina
Farace
Asian women are far
detached
from their western counter parts. The beautiful feminine charm and
warmth that the oriental women carry is very appealing to all
especially the western men. The ladies, from western countries are no
less attractive but they differ from Asians in that they are physically
louder whereas Asian women are more bonny and fragile. The hot busty
Asian woman is a rarity, for the physical features are quite soft with
average weight and height keeping them in featherweight
category
euphemistically
speaking.
Some gorgeous Asian
women
have carved their name in gold by winning "Miss Universe" and "Miss
World" titles. Asian dating is becoming very popular and you can find
Asian single man or woman almost everywhere, as Asian community is
widespread worldwide.
Then there is the
attraction
of the exotic. Western single man mainly white man has always been in
search of exotic being it food, travel and women to name a few. Well
not to be one sided the desire for white women for romance, love and
sex dating, is again nothing but a desire for the exotic. It is all
East to West and back East and all revolving on same cog.
Some western men
express
desire to go dating or even marry Asian women from the Thailand, South
Korea, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Singapore, China and even Vietnam.
The attraction is in the cultural richness, ethnic variance and a more
traditional approach that is bonded to conservative society and
community norms. This perhaps gives western men the safety and comfort
- apart from being exotic - that the loyally independent and
liberalized western women may not be able to deliver. In short,
oriental women appear to be more submissive and hence safer for long
life relationship. Asian women from conservative society is born and
brought up as future mother, wife and hence, a family oriented person
who guarantees family comfort and responsibilities of motherhood. They
no less sexually appealing at the same time and hence, Asian sex is
much sought after in Asian personals in a free online adult dating site
or match dating service on Internet.
On the other hand
westernized or modern Asian men disapprove of their complement for
being tradition bound and for their behind the curtain roles. A
characteristic, it is not apparent in most of the western women.
East meets west using
online
dating site. Interracial dating is very much part of the universal
group of people that the World has become .
Asian
Dating Site - The Secret About Dating
How can you possibly
date an
Asian man or woman?
This can be possible
through
an Asian dating site. The people of Asia are generally glued to their
tradition of seclusion and it is very difficult for them to come out of
the confines of their traditions. A paradoxical truth about this fact
is that these are the type of men or women that a majority of those
using these dating sites will want. Take note that a man or woman wants
to find that submissive, yet bold woman; and more secluded than an
exposed woman. In short, what you will be looking for in an Asian
dating site is a partner for a home, and not a date.

Find out about Asian civilization
A good point to start
your
search before you sign up on an Asian dating site is to learn more
about the basic, yet crucial facts about this civilization. You can
learn about their religion, their way of dressing and even their
language.
Real fun
Dating women through
an
Asian dating site is real fun if you decide to be Asian. This is
because you make a mixture of traditional dating methods with modern
dating methods. But while you bring into the date your unorthodox
method of dating, do that with care. For example, do not be assertive
in your demands. Keep in mind that the secluded life lived by Asians
does not make them accustomed to such things, no matter that they are
also into love affairs in a dating site.
Give a place to him or
her
If you want to get an
Asian
to dating out of a dating site, make a decision to always and at every
time, provide a place to his or her tradition. Be receptive of his or
her way of life. Learn, understand, respect and even practice his or
her culture. You may also take pleasure in Asian food. Without you
realizing it, he or she unquestionably accepts you as part and parcel
of his or her own body. Forget about your own culture. Always expect to
give in more than it is requested from you. Also keep in mind that most
will always want to live in closets. Therefore being secretive or
holding back information from you on a dating site should not be
concluded as having rejected you. They are also easily disturbed and
will prefer to be discrete when you may want to make mention of sexual
or erotic statements.
One
area that guys don't take advantage of enough is the power of smell
with a woman. Scents and smells are very important to
them, and it's been scientifically proven that women are much more
sensitive than men to odors.
One of the most important reasons scents are good for engaging a
woman's attraction for you is that your sense of smell is connected to
the most basic part of your brain, the part that was formed long before
your ability to reason and think. This was because our early ancestors
had to be able to react quickly to scents on the wind that could
indicate a threat, such as a predator.
Smells have a way of bringing back memories.
Have you ever had the experience of smelling something and having a
complete flashback to something you remember from your childhood? It
happens all the time, and it's even more potent when you've associated
a smell with something, like the smell of burning leaves in autumn, or
the smell of homemade pizza. These smells evoke a state in us that
pulls us back to the experiences we had with that smell.
I've walked into old houses
before,
ones that were humid and smelled of old bread and tea, and I had these
flashes of walking into my grandmother's house and the same odors
there. It's a little freaky how real it feels at times.
The way you use this with a woman is to find
out
what scents she indulges in when she wants to relax, or get passionate.
I find that getting her into a candle store, or a bath-and-bodyworks
type store is the best way. You get her to smell different things, and
notice what she prefers. Vanilla is usually a good scent that you can
almost bet she'll like. Find out what she likes to take
a bath with.
Scents for women can usually be broken up
into two
categories: musks and floral. Musky scents are like
heavy perfumes, like Obsession. Floral scents are the ones that are,
obviously, more like flowers. If she wears any kind of perfume, you can
tell which she prefers by smelling what she's wearing.
Take care with your choice of cologne.
One tactic is to find out what cologne her dad used to wear and use
that, but I find this strategy highly variable in terms of the response
you'll get. Better to choose the cologne that she remarks on and likes.
Make it a point to put on too little rather than too much. You want her
trying to get closer to you, not running and gagging from the smell.
Have her give you a critique. "Hey, I just got this new cologne, but
I'm not sure if I like it. Tell me what you think." And she'll have to
lean in close to you to get a whiff. If she likes it, she'll be back
for more.
(And don't go cheap on your cologne. It's worth it.)
When
you can get her sense of smell engaged,
you
are taking a shortcut to a part of her mind that responds in an almost
primal way. She can't reason or rationalize with it. You
can get her in a state of your own choosing by choosing the right scent.
