Likewise, Asian women talk about how white men sometimes fetishize them and say "they're so feminine and submissive" (yuck).
To be fair, men who exclusively date Asian women are often incapable of articulating their reasons for their attraction so it mistakenly comes across as a fetish.
I agree having an exclusive preference limits your horizons in meeting a soul mate who might be a potential life-partner. But we are conditioned by the people around us. If you are a white male and go to an all white-school and watch TV which has "hot" white girls then inevitably you are primarily attracted to white girls. This isn't a fetish. But these same guys bragging to their friends how ugly other races are is crap, just because they live in a bubble and don't realise it.
For me I lived in Asia for 3 years surrounding myself with a community and came to first appreciate the culture and values in Asia and then eventually appreciated the the diverse beauty of Asian women. The connection was both physical, cultural and spiritual.
Returning to Australia I realise that when comparing to Australian girls why so many men choose an Asian wife. I can only give my own interpretation and I think its on the same line as many other men. It's not because they are more feminine or submissive (that's wrong). At a spiritual level they are much more in tune and (I have heard many white men say this in Asia) they seem to know how to make us men connect with their happiness/joy. This is quite seperate from materialism (a common thing attributed to Asian women by jealous women who claim they are gold-diggers). They sacrifice their personal space/time to be with me. It's a very unselfish act.
The Asian women I dated always made me happy. In stark contrast the white girls I dated were so materialistic and superficial. Most valued their friends more than they valued me. It was disappointing.
An Asian woman I dated told me they wish that white men can be more romantic like East Asian men; I asked others later about it and they confirmed.
So it seems East Asian men often have this connection attribute too.
Yes they are often feminine, but not submissive - in fact, they can very assertive at times. And it’s not about the looks really; that’s just the typical (and it’s getting old) White women’s assumptions on Asian women. I think they mistake politeness with submissiveness.
Why I went for East Asians? Because they showed interest; white women (including caucasians) very rarely did. It is as simple as that, there’s no yellow fever.
