Hi Anjella and Nate

Just want to ask one question to Anjella ...
with your statement, are you trying to say that you don't need a guy in your life ?

[asianamericanromance] Re:Yellow Fevor

I have been married to my Chinese wife for 12yrs and it seems like 2.We have a wonderful marriage and it just keeps getting better. I am a very lucky guy and sounds like you are too.

Re: [asianamericanromance] Yellow Fevor

I completely agree... My Chinese wife is more stunning than any white girl I know, but I don't think she understands my infatuation with her. Heck, I don't even understand it! I've heard my wife use the "banana" term, but not "yellow fever" -- nice description!

Hi Dan and Hi Nat...

I do agree with both of you that inner beauty much more precious than just outer beauty. Outer beauty surely will fade away when we grow old :)

Being picky is our right, no one can deny that also. Each of us surely have our own desire, our own dream what kind of spouse we want to have in our life. That's why we can love one person more than the other person. We want the best for our self and we want to have a happy live :)

But then I am not agree if someone said women are too picky :) coz basically we human are the same :) we have our own need, and that's come for men and women :)

I know a relative of mind who is 55 yo already and a very close friend which will be 45 yo in 2 months time stay single, because they are too picky. They only want to have certain type of woman they want to be their wife :) can it be called too picky ??

Well if ask me, I might answer yes, ask other person, he/she might say no. Ask that person it self, he might say he is not. All depend on which angle we see it.

Now I think the main question is, do I have good heart, that is good enough for Dan or Nat ??? ;)
(Just kidding)

Come on, let's smile and make our day beautiful today :)
Time to back to work

Cheers

Over the course of those few years, in order to be able to get any matches at all, I kept repeatedly lowering my standards (specifications on what I was interested in) until everything said "doesn't matter." That's when I finally got 3 matches: one that weighed about 500 pounds and was wheelchair-bound and mentally retarded; one that had Turner's syndrome (XO chromosome which is legally considered female in humans, but considered male in other animal species) and physically resembled the hunchback of Notre Dame; and one that was almost 3 times my age and had spent most of her life in a mental institution.

The only reason why that relationship ended was because it got sabotaged by my parents who disapproved of her. That girlfriend was in all ways a great match for me: she was a well-educated professional with advanced degrees, had the most wonderful pleasant personality, and had the kind of physical appearance that could probably make her succeed in professional modeling if she was to ever to pursue that. She also had no real negative stuff; no drugs, no illegal stuff, no excessive baggage (i.e. children, ex-husbands, etc.). There was just ONE reason why my parents disapproved of her: she was black. I found out then that my parents were still adamantly opposed to me dating a black woman (even though they were ok with me dating whites). In my parents' eyes, nothing else about her mattered once they found out she was black. They went so far as to declare that they would permanently "disown" me if I married her or any other black woman. What makes this all even more ridiculous is that my black girlfriend actually had about the same skin color as I did (she was mixed race, but had just enough "black blood" to offically be considered African-American).

RE: [asianamericanromance] Re: Asian men too

I was engaged to a Baptist girl when I was in my early 20's.

Because I would not tithe my wage (10% to the church); I was considered to be of "unequal yote" (per St. Paul the Epistle).

So: they bought her a new 1974 Chevy Nova SS 350 and paid for a trip to Europe.

This while I was away at the national wrestling championships.

A few years later: they lined her up with a guy from a companion church.

Married; 2 kids (the 2^nd to keep revive the marriage and make them closer; LOL); divorced.

Leapfrog a few years(co-incidences do happen, my children):

My younger sister married into a family and ended up being a neighbour to the ex-fiancés' grandmother(about 300 miles away).

The grandmother often reminisced that "there was this young man nobody liked, but; he was a hard worker and polite".

The old lady never knew her neighbour was my sister. LOL

The dirt on the ex-fiancés' dad:

His youngest daughter was a child from an affair he had with a young girl only 8 years into her parents' marriage.

He wouldn't let his son be a part of the family business because he was "too fat and would die by time he was 35".

Her parents divorced about 5 years after they scuttled me.

So she took the car and the trip and gave the ring back.

The consolation:

She had a poor marriage, ended up divorced.

With no education past grade 12 and her parents business liquidated in the divorce; she lost her house and ended up in rentals.

I, on the other hand; have led a full life traveling the world and my wife and kids are extremely happy and well taken care of.

There is justice, my little ones: (Aesop)

Original Jerry

Wow! IMHO, this has got to be one of the most honest and insightful posts we've had! (That's NOT to criticize other posts, BTW!). I'm very sorry your relationship with the black lady was sabotaged by your parents. Way back in my teens, I had a simple dating relationship smashed by her parents who thought I wasn't good enough. But we pick ourselves up and keep going until we find someone right!

For the next several years, however, I had no luck at all trying to find any white (or Asian) dates. I joined several dating services, but they also were unable to find matches for me. After having taken my money (of course), they said that it was because their female members were unwilling to date an Asian man. Over the course of those few years, in order to be able to get any matches at all, I kept repeatedly lowering my standards (specifications on what I was interested in) until everything said "doesn't matter." That's when I finally got 3 matches: one that weighed about 500 pounds and was wheelchair-bound and mentally retarded; one that had Turner's syndrome (XO chromosome which is legally considered female in humans, but considered male in other animal species) and physically resembled the hunchback of Notre Dame; and one that was almost 3 times my age and had spent most of her life in a mental institution.

> When I was about 30 years old, I finally found someone who turned out to be a great partner, and we had a great relationship that lasted about 2 years. The only reason why that relationship ended was because it got sabotaged by my parents who disapproved of her. That girlfriend was in all ways a great match for me: she was a well-educated professional with advanced degrees, had the most wonderful pleasant personality, and had the kind of physical appearance that could probably make her succeed in professional modeling if she was to ever to pursue that. She also had no real negative stuff; no drugs, no illegal stuff, no excessive baggage (i.e. children, ex-husbands, etc.). There was just ONE reason why my parents disapproved of her: she was black. I found out then that my parents were still adamantly opposed to me dating a black woman (even though they were ok with me dating whites). In my parents' eyes, nothing else about her mattered once they found out she was black. They went so far as to declare that they would permanently "disown" me if I married her or any other black woman. What makes this all even more ridiculous is that my black girlfriend actually had about the same skin color as I did (she was mixed race, but had just enough "black blood" to offically be considered African-American).

> At the time I split up with my black girlfriend, my parents were forcefully trying to get me to go overseas to find a wife. They went so far as to contact people in the Far East, and they claimed that in several cases, after their discussions with them, both the woman and her parents were willing to sign all marital papers before I even made the trip to meet them. Those people obviously didn't know me personally, and it just showed what the promise of US citizenship and huge material wealth can do to Southeast Asians of very poor impoverished background.
