I live in a highly white condensed area, and throughout the past years the only guys I attract are men who have "a thing for asians." I'm not ugly, I actually model. I'm attracted to caucasian men, but the only ones I tend to get are creeps, the ones I am actually attracted to just want to be my friend. I don't get it.

I think it's becasue alot of white men are threatened by white women, so they go for more submissive women that will not speak out as much.
Also, it's an infactuation with the 'other'. It's not just asian, it's african, russian, swiss, polynesinan, french- the exotic other.
Also- many asian men have a thing for white women-again the exotic other.

Interesting you bring this up, as I've been thinking about it a lot lately and have even gone to message boards about white/Asian interracial dating to read thoughts/opinions. I know what you mean by those white guys who have a thing for Asians, and it usually has a lot to do with stereotypes and not who you really are. I know unattractive Asian women who always seem to have white men running after them, just like the pretty Asian women I know.
My observation is it's an either/or thing with a lot of white men. It seems like the majority of them either love Asian women because of some stereotypes (they are "nicer," i.e. more submissive, thinner, age slower, do more sexually, etc) or they aren't attracted to Asian women for some reason, be it because they have "funny eyes" or their parents would kill them or all Asians kill/eat dogs...again, weird stuff. One of my best friends' has a white fiance who said he doesn't find Asian women attractive, and she was surprised when he said that. In other words, white guys either tend to fetishize Asian women or they just don't...but, either way, neither are looking past race, except for the relatively few exceptions.
However, I've seen other white guys who have specific Asian ethnic preferences, i.e. prefer Japanese women. I think I'm like that (though I'm not white or male, but just my perspective)--I usually am attracted to Southeast Asian, Filipina or Vietnamese Asian women and almost never Korean women from, I think, South Korea (can't remember which). So that might be it, depending on your ethnicity, or it might be your friends don't find Asian women attractive or worry too much about what others would think.

It's nothing new Caucasion guys have always been
running after other races of women, it doesn't stop
at asian. Look at the Native americans and African
american descendents of the old days. There were
mixed kids back then. I guess after a while they got
tired of the" white stuff " and wanted to venture out just
like everybody else. And Catori, some Asian women
have big/loose """"'" I know what you mean" just like other
women!

Well I am a female, and I am not Asian but I have asked many of my male friends. Why guys have a thing for asian girls. They have all told me the same thing. Most asian female are small, and are built small. So they think they are small/tight if you get my drift.

I think it's because Asian women tend to be more submissive than white women. Men love to feel that they are in control.

I'm really not sure but it might have to do with how they are kind of shy and quiet and submissive and teeny weeny. I used to have a Japanese roommate in college. Her name was Akemi. My brother and every other man I knew wanted her. She was loving it. LOL!
