Difference in Dating Asian vs Caucasian
People in different cultures make different speculations about the people around them. This is based on what I experieced.
Asian guys fight for the bill.
Fighting over paying the bill for meals is something some of us are guilty of. Coming out on tops to pay for a meal is often a big battle, sort of a sport in itself. Sometimes it’s a pride and face thing that drives the stereotypical Asian to insist on picking up the dining tab. Caucasians are much more laid back and are happy to carry on the conversation while the check is laying on the table; some are even willing to go dutch to further showcase their support towards gender equality.
Asian guys live with their parents.
It depends. Many asians brought up in a traditional upbringing. It used to be that people lived with their parents until they got married. Asian culture emphasizes family and collectivity, so it is quite the norm to take care of your parents while living under the same roof. Also, living with a romantic partner pre-marriage is generally looked down upon, which is another reason why many asians wait until marriage to move out.
Not all Asian guys aren’t masculine..
The truth is that when it comes to classic sex appeal, there are few traits Asian men can't embody like any other men. Most depictions of Asian males in the popular media are not the same as their Caucasian counterparts. The stereotype that Asian men aren’t masculine exists in a large part because of how they are portrayed in the media, not necessarily because that’s actually reflective of reality.
Asian guys aren’t good at expressing emotions
Because they are taught that it is weak to do so crying is seen as weakness. The truth is they do get emotional but they just don’t show it. Their fathers pull them aside and tell them to be two-faced: a private face you have outside of the public eye, and a public face that shows no weakness. It’s rare to hear traditional Asian parents say “I love you” to their children. Some parents educate and try to push their children to work harder and achieve more by using negative language versus complimentary language.
Not all Asian guys aren’t romantic.
I can say that they are romantic in a non-traditional thinking way. They are not the candlelight, strawberries with chocolate kind of guy I think personally that Caucasian men are better at that kind of thing but in Asian culture, the men are raised to always offer comfort for the female, making sure that they are provided and cared for. That’s their idea of romance.
Asian guys seek their parent’s approval.
Asian people are very family oriented. When it comes to marriage prospects, Asian guys take into consideration the advice of his parents. It’s more common for a Caucasian male to independently pursue his desires without asking for anyone else’s approval. When one gets paired with an Asian man, however, you don’t just marry the man himself but you marry his family as well.
Some Asian guys never make the first move.
Every guy is different. Some like to make the first move , some don't, may be because they are shy, or they don't want to and also because they like to take it slow. And when they do, they want to be sure that she’s the one. Asian guys are taught by their traditional parents that in order for them to meet the right person. You date to marry. Caucasian guys are told they are going to meet a lot of people first before finding the right one. See the difference?
Asian guys don’t like public display of affection.
Asians, expressing one-on-one intimacy like holding hands, hugging and kissing someone who matters to us feels hard or doesn’t cross our minds often. They might steal a kiss or two when no one’s looking, but in retrospect the Asian male would much rather prefer it behind closed doors. They choose privacy over strong lustful urges, it’s easy to assume Asian males are more conservative when it comes to showcasing their emotions. For some of us, maybe we’re a bit more private and prefer to shy away from physical affection. Or maybe we’re inclined to wait because every bit of affection, given and received, is simply something special to us.
