John Brannon: ‘What are those white boxes for, Mommy?’
In putting today’s column together, two idioms come to mind: “A day late and a dollar short.” And, “The best laid plans of mice and columnists …” But we venture on, regardless.

How does a foreigner (White guy from the USA) get a japanese girlfriend?
I am done with my undergrad and will be starting my PharmD program next year, so in the meanwhile I am just going to be traveling throughout Asia. I want either a Japanese or Korean girlfriend but since I only speak English this may prove difficult. Plus I hear that Japanese women are weary of dating foreigners. How does dating work in Japan? Can I just walk up to a Japanes woman in a mall or college campus and ask them on a date?
why is it that a white, black, latina, asia women don’t want to date or married a Native American man?
Are you a white guy but prefer women outside your race?
I know I do, I just think other races of women actually bring something to the table and don't just sit back and criticize while doing nothing and leeching.
I like the fact that they aren't spoiled and willing to work hard. Plus they seem way more family oriented, they still think divorce is a bad thing and don't need to hire nannies to raise their children.
I've dated women from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and I know I'm definitely marrying inter racially.
Advice For Asian Guys Who Want To Date White Girls!
1)Don't Be Shy!
A real sticking point for many Asian guys (other guys too)! If you lack confidence around women, how are they ever going to know what a cool, fun and interesting guy you are? There's no easy fix for shyness, only push yourself to get out there and talk to people, most girls will respond well to a guy who approaches her as long as he is relaxed and confident. And if the worst scenario happens, she will probably just politely excuse herself!
2 )Nerdiness / Very Conventional
Has to do with Asian culture, family and expectations. Go to school, study hard, get good grades then get a good job that pays well. THEN you can get the girl! A bad mindset to have, that you need money and power to get a girl!
3) Body Image / Not Going To The Gym
White guys in Asia gets a bad rep for being fat, even if its muscle. Asian guys in the US gets a rep for being skinny! Not fair, but something you can work on. Working out and lifting heavy weights will give you so much return, besides looking great. More confidence, more energy, more inner strenght.
4) You deserve white girls!
Some Asian guys seem to have negative beliefs about dating white women. Some of it may come from not feeling good enough or that there is racism to overcome. It's true to some degree that there is racism, but thats the same for all interracial dating. If you have enough confidence and believe in your self, others will too.
5) Approach Anxiety
Cultural maybe? It is normal for asians to do everything in (big) groups and stay with the group the entire time. But if you never approach a girl you like you won't get the chance to show her what a great guy you are. Most women respect a guy who sees something he likes and goes for it. This is even more true for white girls, because they expect a man to show his interest in her more directly and not need a support group!
6) Be More Direct Sexually
There is not the same stigma attached to making out or getting physical in public for most white girls, as for asian girls. In fact, if you don't touch her at all during the first 10 minutes you talk to her, you will probably end up in the dreaded friend zone. The best is of course to make her initiate contact and then escalate.
7) Have A Good Sense Of Fashion
I am a white guy who has lived in Asia for some years now, I know how important fashion and clothes are. Asian fashion is really cool and unique for the most part, so don't be afraid to import some style! If you have the build (see nr. 3) a good look for asian guys is the bad boy Triad look. I have also seen many asian guys do really well with white girls dressed sharply in more classy clothes.
8 ) Be More Of A Lover Instead Of A Provider
The family structure is different in the west. Men and women both work and earn good wages (I know asian women do this too), and women have been told not to depend on men for money, so they don't place as much importance on job and career in the men they look for. Instead they look for men who can give them powerful emotions and lead her imagination. Try do develop that side of you.
9) Hold Eye Contact!
Eye contact is a big deal in western societies, not so much in Asia. Hold eye contact with all people, but especially women you would like to meet. Just for a bit longer than feels comfortable and don't look away first.
10) Not Being Able To Let Go And Have Fun!
Asian culture generally encourages that you hide your true emotions in public, but western women will feel disconnected from you, if you don't show and share your emotions. It is also ok to disagree openly with something she says and say EXACTLY what you mean. Within common sense of course!
What does it take for a white girl to get with an Asian guy?
Ok, so this has been bothering me, and while I've read various related topics, nothing seems to answer my question and I'm really curious. I don't know much about Asian dating norms and such, but I was wondering, are Asian men shy about asking white girls out? Or do they just tend to think that a white girl wouldn't want to be with them? Specifically I want to know about men from Asia that come to the U.S. Answers would be greatly appreciated! =)
