Immigrant parents don't prioritize their children's social lives in America. This leads to a lot of Asian-Americans being socially awkward around other races. This isn't a problem for Asian girls when it comes to dating because a shy Asian girl will still be approached by men. Asian men however are screwed over because of this. A majority of Asian guys are way too shy to just ask a girl out straight up. It's just not a part of Chinese/Korean culture for guys to walk up to random cute girls and flirt with them or ask for their numbers. If an Asian American guy wants any hope at dating it's usually going to be with a girl who's already in his social circle and hangs out with, which means most probably an Asian girl. That's why, or part of why, you don't see a lot of Asian guys mackin' it out with pretty white girls.
+Calvin Koh It doesn't help that most Americans of Asian descent have friend groups consisting 99% of other East Asians. For the sake of broadening your horizons and improving your social network breadth and diversity, it's really help to have non-Asians friends (for work, recreaton and dating purposes).
+Calvin Koh The worst of it is when your parents try to hook you up with their friends daughter on some, noooo she cute you should marry her. One time when I was 16 my dad's friend came through with his niece. She was kinda shy so we didn't talk at all, she just kinda awkwardly sat there. Well after they left my mom was like, you think she cute? I didn't want to give a mean reply but I just said she aiight lol. Next question that came out my mom's mouth was do you wanna marry her? Lol I was like damn woman chill, I just said she aiight. The point is, old school Asian parents love to limit dating options to their choice for their child.
funny that you say that cause in sweden me and my " asian" friends families were very open and put us into "white sports" and got very integrated in society at the same time kept our cultural values were still inherent in the way we did certain things.
+imaprouduclabruin i think anyone who isn't good looking may find it hard to date no matter what race . My family did the same for my cousins in US/Canada
+Patman 1995 Agreed, I'm surprised that in both this and the older video they didn't ask non-asians their opinions on potential asian significant others.
@@shodak9445 Most of them are bitchy, man. Give up on it, because it's not even worth it. That's like their defense mechanism literally for no reason. I've dated 3 and that's precious money/time I won't get back,lol. Save the drama and get yourself a hot/smart Asian sweetheart that's going places.
I'm into east Asian guys but I feel like they think that girls from other ethnicities aren't into them. Asian dudes need to have more confidence in themselves.
❤ My ex is Korean and I have dated guys that are mostly asian. Why is it that they never speak about the ambw community, though I am mixed. Fung Bros represent for these types of relationships /dating!!
Meiday11I honestly think they should address non-asian with asians in relationships. And not just white and asian either. They are in New York. That state is filled with mixed relationships.
Nathaniel Mills yes that is very true. Sad but true. My ex who is Korean couldn't stay with me due to his parents. But it's 2016 and I know that majority of people accept all races. I mean I'm mixed but all they could see was that I wasn't majority asian. 😧
+Meiday11 yeeesss exactly! and that video kind of frustrated me a bit. They didn't really talk much about. kind of tip toed around the actual subject. I respect them and their knowledge of some black culture but....just like... come on guys.
+Jonathan Smith most asians are small its a fact, sure theres exceptions but its the truth and thats why white women dont chase them and why asian girls go for other races
I don't know why people make it a thing with dating outside a race. I mean when you like someone, you just do it... There is no racial divide when it comes to liking someone.
+Porco Rosso , but why can't the individual who may not have grown up with the traditional foods you talked about get an introduction to it and actually take to it? You make it seem as if a person is into you, that they won't try to learn everything about you, culture and traditions included
+Porco Rosso You bring up some real good points about the melding of culture and heritage. I live in a city with a very large Asian population, so have known many Asian guys over the years who insist in pursuing Asian women only. However are you also not putting yourself in a bit of corner with your "pickiness" as you say? There's nothing wrong with preferring a partner of the same race/ethnicity in itself. However the dilemma is since far more Asian men insist on dating Asian women only than the other around, Asian men will inevitably end up putting Asian women on a pedestal, no?
Issac8004 Thats due to parental pressure rather than choice. You should see the survey and you will find that Asian guys don't mind dating any woman as long as she is good natured and atleast moderately good looking. Also, we get told since we're children that no other woman would ever like us by the media, school, etc - that we are not attractive and it breaks us/our confidence to pieces. This is so till we enter the real world and mature up and realize the truth about the lies we were told.
As an Asian guy myself I think most of us are good looking so we shouldn't have a problem finding a date of any ethnicity. Just gotta have that confidence because with confidence u can take over the world!!
Dating Asian women in my city is impossible, there is only a ~2%, that is including East Asians, South Asians, Middle Eastern Asians, and "other" Asians like Turkish people. Good thing I'm on EastMeetEast, one of you lucky ladies can date the potato guy
Hi, Im European and in my country I see plenty of girls dating Asian guys. In fact many dream of having an Asian guy introducing them to their culture. From my observation in US its all about races and stereotypes thats why you have so many racial problems in States.
Calvin Koh Eastern but I lived in many places in Europe due to my job. In my country US pop culture is not really a big thing. You can spot a black person once a month maybe. But there are some Chinese and Viet communities (usually very closed) and small Korean (more open) because there is Samsung factory.
imaprouduclabruin Well lets say "being attractive" is different for everybody. I personally find attractive and interesting culture that is very different from mine. So definitely I find more attractive Asian who preserve their culture, tradition and language than westernized.
As an Eastcoast Asian girl who just moved to the Westcoast... I have to say I love Asian guys! I do think NY guys are a bit more ballsy when approaching girls than CA guys though.
To my ASIAN BROTHERS. part 1. I am an Asian guy who feel that we Asian guys need to step up. We need to be more confidant and reach out to Asian girl. Some Asian girls are dating out of there race partially is our fault. Asian girls cant sit n wait and wait for us. Other race hit them up. Lets be confidant n assertive; and sweep Asian girls off there feet. We Asian guys need to step up bro.
This is interesting. I'm an Asian Guy and have a White Girlfriend. Neither of us care about our ethnicity. If you don't care and she doesn't care, then it works out. People just need to stop thinking so much about race. Just love whoever you want and be whoever you want.
I'm sorry but I honestly think this is a little off when it comes to girls outside of the Asian race liking asian guys. I know of many women, including myself, that find asian men very attractive and would like to date an asian man. I personally have dated majority asian men for many years. I have Black, white and Latino friends that all like asian guys but it is harder for some reason to get there attention and/or have them notice you as more than a friend or coworker. There are a lot of non-asian women who like asian men, and not all of them are white. Take a chance on us. 😄❤
Orlandus Parker wow ok well first of all I am mixed and proud and I am not begging. It would just be great if they didn't misinform people by saying things that aren't 100% fact. Also I am not only speaking for black women. There are all races that are non-asian that like asian men.
I have noticed more non Asians going to boba shops and other Asian-specific stores. Gotta thank the Fung Bros for that bobalife. Asian RU-vidrs are helping more than KPop stars in my opinion. Plus all these things will work to your advantage when Asian guys approach a girl because they will be surprised that you are actually making the effort unlike other Asians and they will be more willing to give you a chance.
That can be said of black women as well ( we are at the bottom of the dating chain). Many asian men are very handsome. I hope all the stereotyping will one day be a thing of the past. Aloha from Hawaii.
To my ASIAN BROTHERS. part 2 We Asian guys need to step up and interact with girls. My experience- My group of friend who saw many Asian girls dating other race, while we were single. So one day we had a long talk about it. So we decided that we are going to learn how to interact with women. We watch many videos and read books on how to talk to women. In a few months all my friends and i had girlfriends. Not only did Asian girls love us, but non asian girls too. The girls always wanted to be around us. We were all shock n surprised!!! We found out that Asian girls Love Asian guy a lot. Its mainly about confidant and assertiveness. And be willing to take chances. I am sharing my experience to u guys becuz i know what an Asian man has to go thru; the stereotype. But u can overcome it by watching video n reading books. And u have to go out and practice it on girls. Learn to talk to girls in a comfortable and humorous way. Good luck brothers.
+Tony swe WHITE PEOPLE are trying to GET INTO YOUR HEAD! WHITE MEN are trying to divide ASIANS like they did the BLACKS! Notice how when you make fun of WHITE PEOPLE they all stick together?!? WAKEUP and STICK TOGETHER and FIGHT BACK!
I have always been attracked to Asian guys! My best friend is Japanese & Chinese, she said I must have been Asian in a past life lol... just love the culture :)
Jessica Riley I love the Asian culture too. Asian men makes good boyfriend. I think they would make good father too by their personality. But i dont know for sure yet, becuz i never been marry to one. I have a girlfriend who is marry to a Chinese man. And she tell me he is a great husband and father.
I'm a black dude and my best friend is a Asian kid from Brooklyn . And most other Asian dudes I know dress well. Most I know wear a lot of street wear BAPE supreme and even some lesser known brands . I guess it's just weird hearing a lot of Asian guys don't dress as well
I live in Seattle and lately I've been seeing a alot more Asian guy white girl/other ethnicity couples. And the girls they pull are honestly hella fine! We're moving up in the U.S. hahaha
I'm actually white and Mexican and Asian guys are at the top of my list 💁🏻 I think Asian guys are super great and I love their personalities (can depend on person).
I am Korean. (not Korean American) However, I lived in the US for few years. And I can 100% agree on every single thing that people said in the video!!!!! GOOD VIDEO :)
Love is love, but Asian American women seems to be the only kind of women in the U.S. that take one extra step to let the world know that Asian men are not their worthy equal.
Its self and internalized racism. The white white guys they are racist but they don't show it. They will make fun these Asian chicks with their white friends.
Every Fung bros street interview video ever: >Lets hit the streets to interview Asian Americans, we're so hyped!! >The topic is dating >Race gets brought up --> mayo bois steal all the azn chicks >Conclusion: Asian dudes aren't appreciated enough and life is unfair
As an Asian, I severely dislike this channel and feel embarrassed for the people who find the content meaningful. They're simply holding a mirror up to their insecurities, lack of confidence and want the easy excuse to blame either Asian women offering "other men", or the white male stealing their women. The hell... Most of these guys need to grow up and stop dressing like they are in high school. Get a hobby and develop some character, for Christ's sake. Most Asian guys don't do this, and think that going to the gym is the extent of their personality. They can't hold a conversation beyond anything other than "haha have you seen that video/blog post/Instagram thing where event/restaurant/celebrity thing happened?" or keep living their lives through memes. This is the scariest part, where they think they are funny or unique by repeating the same shower thoughts 50K other people have read on Reddit.
Man, my asian friend stepped up his game a lot, bruh,im telling you, he do take initiative most of the time, but it's like applying to Harvard he told me. Nine times out of ten you get rejected.
"Asian guys need to step up their game".... Really Fung Bros?? Why is it the Asian guy's problem? I don't think telling Asian dudes to "Step up" is the issue here. In reality, it's really perception... The perception of Asian guys is the problem. You often hear about Asian guys not being "Confident" enough to talk girls or they are just too shy.... I disagree. Just because Asian guys aren't hitting on chicks with a bunch of sleeaze and hollaing at them with "Ni Hao" doesn't mean they aren't masculine or they lack confidence. Instead of asking Asian guys to step up their game, people should really focus on what the poor societal images of Asian guys and re-focus their attention on their pre-conceived biases of Asian guys. It's often amazing how I always see and hear Asian girls completely shutting Asian guys out like it's the new hip thing to do. I know a few Asian girls who date White guys cause it makes them seem cool and popular with their peers which is pretty pathetic. Personally, I always enjoy the fruit from outside my doorstep compared to fruit elsewhere. Asian girls. You really have to think to yourselves. "Do I really like this guy? Or is it because he's tall"....... You don't see Asian guys ever throwing Asian girls under the bus by saying, "I don't date Asian girls. I only date White girls...." Just something to think about... Your next video should be about how we can fix these preconceived notions about Asian guys on the bottom of the Hetero/homosexual totem pole instead of just asking Asian girls what they think about Asian guys and Asian guys to "STEP UP THEIR GAME"
No dude, it definitely is our problem and Asian dudes do need to step up their game. How do you expect to change the image society has on asian men unless they themselves makes some changes?
+Daggerfall40 Do you even understand what he is saying? Maybe asian guys do need to step up their game but the media is also a problem. If the media glorifies white people as the standard of beauty everyone else has a harder time by default. That has nothing to do with asian guys, black girls, etc. That's Hollywood's fault. A 7/10 Asian guy instantly becomes a 5/10 because of the standards of beauty. Same thing with a white guy. A 7/10 white guys becomes a 8-9/10 for asian girls. The media tells people whats ugly and whats not. People get manipulated, its as simple as that. You hear asian girls say "I don't date asian guys." That has NOTHING to do with anyone's "game".
+Sam D No, I completely understand what he's saying, I just choose not to blame it on something I have no control over. Unless you or him has a way to change the way the media portrays asian men, the best course of action would still be to up your game and prove the media wrong. If you don't get the girl you want, then move on to another one.
+Justin Yang Unfortunately, it ultimately falls on the shoulders of the men affected by this. Yes, the culture is doing a HELL of a smear job on Asian men and how they're perceived by everyone else (though Black men and women have it worse than anyone). But you can't just sit around complaining about the environment being stacked against you, you've got to rise up and get what you want. That's a big part about not being passive.
The Asian guy that never takes initiative is so true. I have an Asian male friend, and we just started hanging out any going to the gym at school. He will always get Hi s from Asian girls that he knows from his classes. And it just shocks me when he gives a boring hi back. Like damn these girls want to talk with you lol. I don't mind waiting for you guys to talk XD I'm white if this is necessary to say?
Not even Asian but the "where are you from" question always makes me roll my eyes. Like, really bro? Really? Are Asians so foreign to people in their minds that they don't think for one second they could have been born in the same country as you?
I'm Asian but I feel like I'm over confident most of the time and a lot of girls tell me I'm really unapproachable and come off as being cocky. Idk they always saying Asian men are insecure but can't be confident?
I'm the typical American Caucasian mutt, have a lot of Scandinavian and European ethnic heritage. I think Asian guys are cute. I like guys who don't look like me, but I also find pretty much every race attractive. Dating someone really just depends on the personality. But I have noticed that I prefer dating people from my own culture. So he could have any ethnic background, but it would be nice if he had grown up in America. Confidence is a big deal, takes a lot of guts to ask someone out. I do wish more Asian guys would take the risk, but if anything, all us girls just need to be more vocal about actually liking guys from different ethnic backgrounds from our own.
That's what I was about to say that Asian guys need to step there game up its all about the approach and confidence don't come of needy and respect the boundary any girl will find you charming plus I am south Asian ethnically and we don't have it easy either
oh this is gold!! so true about not enough Asian men on TV or Movies depicted as the 'hunk' - although my white best friend has yellow fever and only dates asian guys for an unknown but impressive reason. there should definitely be more diversity on screen in terms of Asian males... my TV Brother George Wang who plays Andrew Law on the The Family Law (Aussie show) is a good looking Asian, and he has so many chicks and dudes commenting on how good looking he is so if only productions started casting more 'manly' and 'good looking' Asian men, the stereotype could VERY EASILY be broken. xx Shu
Asian guys are either too shy or too prideful. Lot's of Asian men believe the women they want will come to them when they're successful. That's why a huge percentage of college grads in America are Asian Americans and Asians from overseas.
Not sure how many guys really "struggle" dating Asian chicks, because all my Asian friends get girls. But I recommend you to go to ethnic church and/or Asian events (school, happy hr, etc.) Also, if you have a decent circle, your friends will set you up with chicks from time to time
This video really surprised me. where I live the most common mixed couples I see are Asian guys and Caucasian women but this video really gave me a different perspective
I'm Hispanic and I'm currently dating a Korean male. I agree.. I feel like sometimes he lacks confidence and is reallyy shy. It's cute but sometimes it's a hassle. As a girl who's used to guys leading (in an American society), this is A LOT different.
For me, I'm heavily attracted towards Asian men BECAUSE of their lack of exposure to the entertainment/ modeling industries. I grew up around European and Indian communities, so seeing Asians is so refreshing and different, Something I find myself very attracted towards. Love their style, fashion, food, etc.
I’m Filipino American and I’ve dated and gone out with people outside of my race. As someone of asian descent, let’s not let the media and stereotypes dictate our future. Though it does affect how people initially perceive us, let’s beat that stereotype and go beyond.
People don't realize that actually a bunch of non Asian girls are interested into Asian guys. I'm actually mixed with a lot of things but I grew up around an Asian community so it's like. I'm full Asian xD
+jeffzalonka I know it's not exactly the same and I know it's difficult but not impossible. I'm into all guys from all races which include Asian. Since I grew up in an Asian community, with the same pressures and same type of food. I thought that I would have a different is all
+BoA Yoon lol thanks. I have a tiny bit of Filipino in me but that's it. The rest is Native American, Italian and Barbadian(Barbados). My parents were hard on me as well. I got a I love yous a lot which is different but I grew up eating all different types of Asian food and majority of my friends are Asian. I've never dated anyone but to me Asian guys are super hot 😅
it's not about stepping our game, it's about priorities and peer pressure. Not giving in to the society's culture, and focus on what is more important based on the phase in life we go through
The thing about Korean guys missing I think has a lot to do with the fact that they are amongst the various ethnic groups the most upwardly mobile and integrated. It's not that they're MIA, rather they are mixing with mainstream crowds more, Korean-American New Yorkers (males) seem to be more prevalent in the media and other high positions of exposure imo, which also means they are interracially dating more as well.
i wasnt expecting at all the negativity in this video , tbh Im latino and i feel like asians in general ARE attractive , they have the stereotype of being smart and they are usually skinny and kinda tall , but after thinking about it I rememberd that Murican beauty standards are weird AF and ppl like tumour looking booties filled with plastic and everything made sense...
It’s bad stereotypes, and the lack of asien men in general in media. That’s pretty much it. Well besides how uncommon Asians are where people live to break the image irl too. It’s like a fashion brand, there are popular ones and there are unpopular. People get their image of people and stuff and then group them accordingly, true or untrue is never the main issue. Sure you can wear a pair of Walmart branded shoes like a boss, but you will meet resistance for sure, and always having that uphill sucks, that’s just fact!
When I lived in North Carolina I had a bunch of Asian friends (Philippine, Vietnamese,Chinese,Korean) but now I live in The Bronx and there's almost no Asians around here, I wish I could get cool with these guys and go out for Boba n Korean Bbq , & I can put them on with some Spanish food two 😂
I've dated a Asian woman and there way more fun, big sense of humor, outgoing and really chilled back and not insecure.. I don't see race I just see a fun,honest and loyal beautiful woman.. Yes we joke around with white/ Asian jokes because we both love to laugh because we do come from different cultures and so different but yet so much alike at the same time.. I believe we all are human and love is love.
Peter Feng Obviously not UK and Ireland. They are basically older brothers of US and since they all speak the same language so they are influenced by US pop culture.There are not many Asians in Europe after all. So there is always a girl looking for something different. Its more like Asian guys in Europe are usually looking for girls sharing their own culture. Like Viet communities in Warsaw and Prague are extremely closed.
+Kwon Shayshay Are you fucking kidding? Of course it's degrading. It implies you're a perpetual foreigner even though you're American, but just because your skin isn't white you get that. GTFO with that shit.
+Orzo Kohlen how? You're the one implying that they mean foreigner when all the lady said was "Chinese" that could mean Chinese American. There nothing wrong with being called Chinese if you view Asians being not subpar to white people.
YungBasedOnion You think people actually distinguish between the two? You're blissfully ignorant of that fact or too young to know it. Or else nobody would be yelling "ni hao" or konichiwa at anyone.
+Orzo Kohlen you act like you don't mistake white ppl ethnicities. Irish, German, French, Italian. Ppl make mistakes and I don't understand why being mistakenly called Chinese was "degrading" in anyway unless the lady view Chinese ppl as a lower being than here self. Now that's ignorance. But I forgive her because Chinese ppl aren't portrayed accurately in the media and gets the most shit from everyone (American propaganda)
Interesting to learn about EME! Hmmmmmm.... I'm Filipina and I've date mostly Latino men. I'm attracted to Asian men though. The new generation of Asian males has swag! GÜRL! Whatchu talkin bout.
im an asian girl and prefer to date other asians. also because i live in a place where there arent many asians so its cool to see an asian that isnt my family lol
