Asian Women Dating

Chinese people are very heavily family oriented. You can expect a lot of involvement with her family. If they don’t like you, your relationship might be doomed. There is an upside to this however, in that the traditional Chinese family will be very supportive, even down to such things as buying you your first home. Your Chinese in laws, should you ever get into a married relationship, or even if you are co-habiting, will want to be very close to the upbringing of your children, and this can cause friction down the line. Another plus side though is that you can expect your Chinese partner to be very respectful of your family, especially the older members, and they are going to like that!

The Gold-digger

It’s a truism that Chinese culture can be very materialistic, and some women see a western partner as simply a meal ticket. They’ll expect to have everything paid for, and wouldn’t dream of chipping in to help with the cost of a date, an outing or a mutual purchase. However this is only some Chinese women. Generally, educated Chinese women are as liberated as the next person in matters of money – but gold-digging is always something to be on the watch for.

Frankly Strange Views About Health

Even Chinese women with a good western education will be very likely to hold strong and perhaps unusual views about health and diet. In particular, they might fuss about heating and cooling foods, and be aghast at the American habit of eating ice-cream all the year round, instead of just in the hot weather, and of drinking ice water with meals. If you get sick, prepare to be plied with strange potions, you might even be talked into acupuncture or therapeutic massage. The wise man will see this as an opportunity to broaden his cultural outlook. The timid man might be scared off!

Some Chinese girls just live for fashion. Well, of course, some girls of all races just live for fashion. But Chinese women have made it an art form. So be prepared for her to spend what you consider ludicrous amounts of her hard earned money – and maybe yours too – on shoes and purses and other must-have trivia.

Chinese women do age well, that is an observable fact. It’s just something in their genes; they stay slim, they often have great bone structure, delicious skin and lovely hair – things which will last. Although looks are by no means everything in a relationship, and if you love a women, she’ll be beautiful in your eyes for ever, it’s nice to know that your Chines partner is likely not to lose her looks any time soon.

If she has a career, expect to play second fiddle to her work a lot of the time. She may also want to put off having that family until later. That’s true of women of all races, but the stereotype of the hard driven Chinese child with a Tiger Mother is actually not that much of a stereotype. She will very likely be used to working hard and will be hooked on success.

Her Religion Might Surprise You

Chinese origin people are the most likely of all ethnic groups in the US not to express a religious belief – some 52% of Chinese adults in fact. But if the girl you meet is religious, she is like to be a Christian (30%) rather than a Buddhist (15%)

It’s a superficial comment, but yes, women from the Philippines are often lovely to look at, with beautiful skin and hair, petite figures, and charming smiles. That’s not a bad place to start if you’re looking for someone to love.

Generally, although Filipinas often take menial jobs when they first arrive in the US, they are well educated. They almost exclusively speak English, which is taught from a very early age in the Philippines, and although they might seem like pretty little dolls, behind the sweetness you will usually find a very sharp mind.

The Philippines is a largely Catholic country, and women from the Philippines will generally have had a fairly strict upbringing. They value family, respect their elders, and will prioritize the needs of family and friends. They believe in old fashioned values and will be very likely to attend church.

Their moral values and family orientation attract many Filipinas to the caring professions. Nursing, medicine in general and teaching are all professions which appeal to the gentle and caring Filipino nature. You’ll also find them very loving in an intimate relationship.

Filipinas Make Excellent Homemakers

Filipinas are taught by their mothers to look after the home, and they are frugal money managers. Your home will be meticulously clean, tidy and attractive, with delicious meals served up on a regular basis. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but you can expect your home to be neat and tidy and your domestic budget to be balanced.

Because it’s so unusual for Asian Indian women to marry outside of their race, any woman who is even considering you is going to be by definition a person who is prepared to swim against the stream. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is for you to decide!

70% of Asian Indians have a Bachelor’s Degree or higher, so she is going to be sharp and probably, career minded. Even if she doesn’t have that qualification, she is likely to be a person who values and respects education very highly; a reflection of overall cultural values.

India is a very vibrant, varied country, and subjects such as religion, sex and politics can lead to explosive discussion very easily. So your Indian friend might well want to keep to neutral topics until you have got to know each other better. Subjects such as favorite books, places to eat, films she enjoys, her studies or her work, vacations spots that she likes and so on are likely to be safe areas. She might not want to respond very much to questions about her culture, so, just relax and keep the conversation light until you feel it might be OK to venture into deeper waters.

It’s an Asian Indian joke that girls from the north of India are beautiful but stupid, whereas girls from the south are plain but smart. This is of course a wild generalization, but there may be a little truth in it somewhere. Northern Indian girls can be startlingly beautiful, but Indian women do tend to lose their looks as they get older – possibly due to the delicious and rich Indian food that is such an important part of their culture.

In common with many Asian women, Asian Indians are very family oriented, enjoy close relationships not only with their parents and siblings, but with an astonishing variety of cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents and their parents’ friends who become nominal aunties and uncles. Be prepared to meet and greet all of these individuals, and to be the subject of intense scrutiny and questioning by all of them. If you get as far as meeting the family, then you have overcome a major obstacle to the progress of your relationship. If she is prepared to meet the potential wrath of her family, then you can indeed consider yourself someone special to her.

The longer the family has been in the US, the more westernized they are likely to be with regard to the importance of the family. However, you need to be prepared for intensive involvement with your partner’s family from the word go. This might even mean that your wife, should you marry, would believe it to be her duty to continue to send a large amount of her income to impecunious relatives in India. She might even expect you to chip in. Your home might become an informal hotel for any and all friends and relatives for seemingly endless visits. Just be prepared for the juggernaut which is the Asian Indian family!

Dating is a big thing to an Asian Indian woman. If you’re dating, there will be nothing casual about it in her mind. She, and of course her family, will assume that your intention is to marry her. If this isn’t your intention, then you probably aren’t being very fair, and you should back off unless you are absolutely certain that she is taking a casual view as well.

Because India isn’t just one culture, but hundreds of cultures, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what cultural differences there are going to be. You might find some things shocking, such as a belief in the caste system, or that people who do menial jobs are to be looked down upon. You are certainly going to find differences in taste in music, films (get ready to love Bollywood) TV shows, décor and especially of course, food. This is all part of the fun of an inter-racial relationship of course, but some of the differences might be pretty stark at first. Just go with the flow, keep your mouth shut and your ears open, and admire her mother’s cooking whatever your private feelings, and you won’t go far wrong.

Traditional values are still important in Asian Indian society. If you marry, your wife will be a good homemaker, a good mother, and she will be loyal to you and to your marriage. She’ll appreciate being treated as an equal – something which many Asian Indian men don’t offer to their wives, and a big bonus in your favor.

Indian women do love drama. Of course, not all of them; as we always say, these are generalities. But be prepared for tears, tantrums and a certain amount of throwing of kitchen items. It’s part of their charm. They can also be very controlling, especially once the children start to come along – beware that you may come a long way second to any sons and daughters.

On the whole, Asian Indian women who are second and third generation in the US will be career women in their own right, and will have an independent attitude to money. Once you are a fixed item though, she will expect you to treat her nicely, making gifts of jewels on appropriate occasions and ensuring she had a standard of living at least as good as she would if she stayed with her (usually) doting parents. She’s going to expect you to be at least as successful as she is in your career; after all she worked hard to scramble her way up the ladder, and she isn’t looking to marry beneath what she believes is her status.
