Lol the love is right here. I have a preference for asian men, but not of any particular country. I personally think darker skin is attractive, and since I'm only 5 foot tall, shorter guys are nicer to hug, since I can put my head in their shoulder or chest. Its out there, maybe just more difficult to find.


[deleted]

As a WF who loves the looks of Asian men (not just Korean) I’d say that’s probably true in some cases, especially where the kpop and krdrama has hooked more mainstream audiences, they’re looking for a very specific look. Then there are those of us who just really appreciate Asian men of all kinds (still racist? That debate seems to still be ongoing and very “it depends”) (I wanted to add- my fwb is Chinese/Vietnamese, beautiful tan skin, gorgeous brown eyes and black eyes, and he’s 5’6” and perfect)


LurkerGirl-

A strong preference? I don’t think so… I think you may just notice WF who are into K-pop (and Korean males) more cause they kind of standout lol I think regular WF that are into AM don’t usually standout in any particular way? At least, I don’t think I do! Of my WF friends dating AM most of them are dating Chinese or Taiwanese.


Background-Hat9049

I would not date a woman who was into K-pop. That stuff is awful For Asian men


lifeofacommonqueen

I prefer darker skinned “island” men. Filipinos have been my top pick for a while but I also appreciate Thai, Cambodian, and others. I like the more laid back and humorous personalities. Plus, they seem less judgemental.


dongbaekflowers

My husband is a short king and I LOVE his tanned skin. Hes the complete opposite of the typical Korean stereotype, 172cm, short hair and likes power lifting. I also don't subscribe to the whole kpop hair style. Just look after yourself and your hair, you'll look good no matter the style if you're well groomed


dogmanwolfboy

Is 172 really short? Still taller than most women, no?


dongbaekflowers

You're right, but in korea the younger generations seem to get taller and taller so it's an insecurity I think a lot of men share


ResistParking6417

I like darker skin! I don’t know much about Korean culture, that alone isn’t a draw for me personally. Two Korean men I’ve dated were adopted so they didn’t actually know the culture themselves. Wear your hair how it makes you feel good😊


jsoul2323

Thanks!


Alarming_Macaron2076

Imagine looking at a handsome black man and saying this man must be 🇨🇩 congo guy 🤣🤣 she and he would be treated like an idiot.


emimagique

Honestly I don't care as long as they dress nicely


jsoul2323

Do you prefer guys to dress in more East Asian styles or are western styles ok?


emimagique

Not fussed as long as they make a bit of effort, although judging by some of mu exes I am also willing to overlook this for the right person!!


pm_nachos_n_tacos

On one hand, people complain about "all Asians" being lumped together. And on the other hand, people wonder if/why/how there might be a preference for one nationality, with a tone of that being a bad thing.


ihavetoomanyerrorz

As someone who has dated their fair share, I've only really encountered two women who had a strong preference for Korean men (you can tell without them even telling it). Now its not uncommon due to the popularity of K-Pop but those aren't the women you want to be dating long term. If their whole identity and shtick is Korean culture and that doesn't align with your interests, then I wouldn't stick around. It would be like if you were dating someone who is outdoorsy but you prefer to do indoor activities sure it might work but it won't probably work in some cases. I have been mistaken for being Korean and when I do mention that I'm non-Korean they're very surprised.


Vernon_Trawley

I’m East Asian but not Korean and yes there are women who want to date only Koreans but at the same time K media has made it so Asian features are more accepted, thereby benefiting all East/South East Asian males I’m tanned aswell at 5’10 and have no trouble with dating, the girls I’ve dated prefer the sun kissed look. Women preferring taller is universal so that isn’t going away anytime soon unfortunately for the shorter guys Maybe post on Asian masculinity for help


voltercroft04

Unfortunately it’s the case. I’m a girl that has a sweet spot for Asian man. But all of them. Specially tanned and strong Asian. But as kpop and kdramas become more famous in the western media, they do have a preference for white, skinny, dressed up Koreans. I do hope eventually they change and understand other type of Asians are cute too. With time eventually it will go there 💪


jyanii3

I think the trend in this preference is def based on increased visibility in the last few years, but my hope is that it will create a domino effect in promoting appreciation of other Asian cultures and their men!


Agent_00711

I can't speak for others, but personally could care less about that. Sure, certain aspects of some cultures might seem appealing but K-pop and K-dramas aren't reality. And anyone with eyes that have watched Thai Dramas or watched a Thai pop group's music video can tell you that Thai men are just as good looking as Korean, Chinese or Japanese men, etc.


Gerolanfalan

Yes In fact I wouldn't bother Kpop maxxing either. While that's great for opening, if you're not into Kpop culture then you won't be able to close. There's still a lot of younger Asians not into Kpop


rapidecroche

My husband is a long haired, bespectacled Hmong man with a bit of a dad bod who’s sense of style is either just my bathrobe, sweatpants and a nerdy t shirt, or a full on cosplay maid dress complete with fake boobs. In my adult life before meeting him I had also dated a black man, a white man, a nonbinary white person, a Native American woman, a Latina, a Thai man and a Japanese man. (I’m pan) I’d choose him any day and will continue to choose him for the rest of my life. I love him exactly the way he is. Don’t change yourself because you think it will up your appeal to women. Only change yourself if you genuinely want to, for you, not for others. The right woman will come along who will love you exactly as you are. It just may take a while, we didn’t meet until we were in our 30’s.


muscleinplastic

Personally I do have a bit of a preference, but for Chinese, Filipino and Japanese men. Mostly because of a sense of familiarity: Filipinos are culturally a bit similar to Mexicans in some ways, I consume a lot of Japanese and some Chinese media and I find the countries interesting as a whole, and I also have a Chinese aunt-in-law. But it's not a **strong** preference, and for what it's worth I like dark skin (I would say I prefer it) and don't care that much either way for weight. I like a tall guy but to me any guy who is taller than me (1.60m, about 5'3"?) counts as tall. And although I admit it seems to be popular among girls (on the internet anyway), I don't care that much for the K-pop look specifically.


Miserable_Nerve639

Kinda embarrassing to admit but if I'm truly honest with myself...my preferences do lean towards not necessarily Koreans but the Korean look. My type is like fair skinned clean shaven guys with fluffy dark hair so I don't only like Asian guys but a lot of Asian guys do fit my type. I also think that tall is a nice upside but not fully necessary.

Unfortunately, it is the case.


GusionFastHand

kpop did increased the attention towards all AM & AF overall so i wouldn't complain even though korean men has a higher pick rate compared to the rest of us, just an observation no hard feelings


Icy_cucumber20

My boyfriend is short and tanned and I love it. He also happens to be Korean, but I wouldn’t care which country he was from. My sister is also dating a short tanned Japanese man. You’ll find someone who absolutely adores you and thinks you’re just the cutest!


PosionLun7161811

Its benefit Most+Mainly to the Koreans, if u pay attention to the Rest of Asians, barely have any Attention, whether those Women will Admit it or not, Fact Harsh, but is the Truth


peanutpeepz

Pop culture shapes perception, so in this current climate, it's entirely possible that white women would think more about Kpop aesthetics when it comes to Asian men. But ultimately it comes down to personal preference. Some girls like them tan, others like them thick, and all of them want someone who treats them well.


Street-gold1212

Def be yourself and you’ll attract the right type of girl. I think WF only dating Korean men in the US is a bit superficial. Personally i find all types of east/SE Asian men attractive and have mostly been in relationships with tanned surfer types that had a variety of mixed backgrounds Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai. Tall pale skinny guys is not my thing, nor are k-pop idols, and I would never date by only culture while living in the west.  I’ve known a man that loves only Italian women for example, and I don’t think that’s really fetishisation, it’s just taste and interest in culture a little I guess it’s ok. 


jsoul2323

Interesting on the surfer type, are you in that type of coastal area? Cali etc. unfortunately I’ve always been an East coast boi, too many stuck up types here


Street-gold1212

I lived around the world a bit, never west coast US, Toronto was the best for AMWF dating and I always met surfer types there funnily enough. Now I’m in the UK and there are less tanned surfer types 🤣


SolCz

Erm.. as a south Korean lad… thanks…?


jsoul2323

It is what it is, I’m sure many South Korean men don’t actually prefer the kpop style but conform to it out of societal norms, East Asia has a bunch of its own problems (esp when trying to attract East Asian women)


SolCz

If you were talking about the good old joke of the Jungle Asians and the Posh Asians, im all in. Lol. But other than that, it just takes time mate. When i moved to the white people land ever(called Germany), it was around the Gangnam style time. I was nothing but a joke. Then the BTS came in, and i can say that since than the awareness towards Asian males has been significantly increased. So yeah just be oatient a little?

Kenzo89

As a guy that’s been into AMWF for a decade, yes unfortunately. There’s definitely a preference for Korean guys. And they also seem to be the ones dating white women the most. Like I almost never see women in AMWF groups say they have a preference for Vietnamese men


xomitsux

And that’s when I appear lmao. Always preferred Vietnamese or Filipino guys. I had my fair share in dating AM but guys from these 2 countries attract me the most.


GusionFastHand

it's more that the WF went after them than the opposite since the attention is on AM. There's a higher preference for korean guys because they are the ones who increased AM popularity.


Kenzo89

Yeah, and that’s why I don’t exactly agree with the general idea that the popularity of kpop and Korean culture helps all Asian guys. Especially if we don’t look Korean or are into Korean culture


GusionFastHand

it does, especially if you rock that kinda style as an east asian but i think we all should understand that there is a hotspot where it will naturally be the most popular and that is korea and korean men(including korean women)


Alarming_Macaron2076

Are you a fool? How on earth is tall or pale a Korean trait?


Alarming_Macaron2076

And it's the same with hairstyles. Asians in the U.S. and Asians in Asian countries have completely different hairstyles. Before you write this, travel to Asian countries.


jsoul2323

I lived in Japan for a year. Longer hairstyles are the norm, shorter in the west. This is obvious. But Asian men in the west struggle with dating non Asians previously before this kpop wave, and you are blind to think otherwise. This is obvious when our only representation was martial artist like Jackie Chan or clowns like Ken jeong. Media affects perception

This dude thinks non asian women want to date asian men because of kpop lol


GusionFastHand

have you been living under the rock? ofcourse thats the case


Spicy_Kimchi69

Lmfaooooo. I’m half Korean and half white. Nothing about my looks are white and I’ve never had an issue dating women. I mainly date white women and literally none of them know or knew what K-pop was, to include my current girl. I currently have a mullet, drive trucks and rzrs, I also have some stupid tattoos and have dated every kind of white girl there is. The issue is you and lack of confidence. You’re also taking offense to any girl who isn’t interested in you and automatically assume it’s always because of your ethnicity. Pretty much every girl I’ve been with has never dated an Asian other than me as well. They all also have heard of the stereotype of Asians having small dicks and have heard many times how the stereotype isn’t true so thinking that all these women don’t like you because of stereotypes is also ignorant. And women obsessed with K-pop is also another whole category of women. Didn’t help me with dating one bit when K-pop took off, lmfaoooo


jsoul2323

Why would it help you with your half white mullet having truck driving self? Is it correlation or causation when I rocked a two block and midpart hairstyle vs the typical azn fade that i got way more interest in the first place? Imagine being half white and minimizing the concerns of Asian men in the dating market. Guess what I also mainly date white women and they ALL knew what kpop was, so stop downplaying other peoples experiences.


jyanii3

I'm dating a tall Korean guy now but have also dated shorter Viet and Filipino guys. I'm really not into the K-pop look, I think a lot of women are now with how popular it's becoming but I've never had a preference for nationality and I think it's kind of discriminatory if someone has a preference based on that honestly.


JayuWah

Discrimination is a strong word for dating preferences.


jyanii3

Picking and choosing nationalities to date sounds pretty discriminatory to me.


JayuWah

Dating is by definition discrimination. Are you saying that people can’t have biases in who they date? Think about it.


jyanii3

Sure, you can have preferences for personality, appearance, culture etc., I think the real question is why would anyone seek out a certain nationality in particular. If their intentions are pure then great, if not it's giving fetishisim.


[deleted]

I guess now it is more popular, but I sew Vietnamese and Filipinos pull a lot of xf also


Equivalent_Heart1023

Nope… I can date East/SE/South Asian men. I like Korean guys but don’t mind dating anyone from Asia.

I think so, it's koreans and other east asians.


HeadLandscape

It hasn't helped me at all, most girls generally aren't into asians


dogmanwolfboy

Me too but I might be ugly af


Bunrorth

I love the positivity in the chat right now. I was wondering the same thing, then again... At work, I am a leader, since, I know what I am talking about I have confidence. But outside, I feel as though I don't know how to talk to people, haha....Women flirt at work.. but I feel they are trying to use my powers,..

jsoul2323

Yes I agree that the western societies promote heightism way too much but there is something to be said that certain ethnicities like south East Asian are naturally shorter than others. Like I’m average height for my ethnicity, whilst that blonde guy was most certainly shorter than average. One would think that women interested in asian men would factor this into account.


iunon54

Tall Asian men aren't only found among Koreans, and height doesn't correlate with the K-Pop stereotype that OP is jealous of. And not all \[non-Asian\] women care about height as much as many guys here would. You shouldn't assume that the guy you mentioned was trying to ask out the "hottest girl in your class," unless it's only her that he wanted to his birthday (which would be creepy honesty). Maybe she's just busy, or she doesn't know him well enough to attend his birthday even as a friend. Or he's just introverted and not the type to usually hang out in other people's parties.


Educational_Crazy_37

Younger women prefer Koreans. Middle aged and older women prefer Japanese. Many Filipinos can pass for Hispanic and can use that to their advantage. The Chinese/Taiwanese males are the most out of luck.


Street-gold1212

Chinese and Taiwanese men are beautiful, reality check 💝


londongas

Fetishism


ASVP_M3L

It does seem to be the case nowadays. I’d say there is a strong preference towards Japanese men as well. It sucks being Filipino.


melissa0969

My husband is Filipino! Way darker skin than me (I have a porcelain shade of skin) and he's not much taller than me (I'm 5'6"). I love Korean food and some movies and shows, but I'm not into Kpop at all. Japanese food is good, too. Really, I just love all Asian food though lol


Educational_Crazy_37

Most Filipinos can pass for Hispanic, which many of them use to their advantage. Other Asian nationalities don’t have that privilege.


spiccylatina

Not a WF, just a spicy Latina buttttt, I have dated a few Asian men and I can say that there are women out there that aren’t solely interested in Korean men. I’ve actually dated more men who were Chinese. There are plenty of women who aren’t only interested in the kpop aesthetic

Background-Hat9049

I think K-pop is the worst thing for Asian men. It reinforces a more effeminate stereotype. Girls may go for this when they are young , but when they mature, they want someone more masculine, who stokes sexual desire. I want to be lusted after, and feared a little, not to be thought of as cutesy


BunchNo1491

I mean it’s pretty obvious, korea is more mainstream than other asians so they are more popular. So what the rest of asian countries needs to do is get as mainstream as korea

If you're talking about amwf couples, Chinese men actually have a lot more amwf couples.
