Cross Cultural Relationships

Post Reply New Topic

I've been thinking about this one for awhile. Suppose an aspie guy picks up and looks for romance in a different country. He's have the language/cultural barrier to account for anything not adding up with the women he meets. By the time they'd have figured anything was different about him, they'd at least have got to know him better. Heck, anyone willing to go after a foreigner in a sense is AS material, she's at lest more likely to try to overcome interpersonal differences. I'm not packing my bags any time soon but the thought definately has it's appeal to me.

some people here with this kind of experience already wrote something about the fact, that they tended to explain the differences between them as cultural differences and therefore were more willing to accept them.

Dang, maybe I should get into the archive one of these days, looks like I'm just beating a dead horse.

I once had an extended online romance with a Russian girl named Helena. It grew to include transcontinental phone calls, as well. We became pretty serious, as we were both Buddhists at the time. We talked about getting together and eloping, but that was not to be.

I could not have gone to Russia, and she could not have come to Canada. The entire thing lasted one year exactly.

What a relief, well back to business. You got a year of interaction with this Helena, that's better than lots of people, just imagine what would happen if you went there.

haha yeah I looked into foreign girls a few years ago. They have that sexay ascent that makes them more appealing plus they don't take free handouts like our culture does thus ambitous and rarely overweight haha. Why is America plagued with fat chicks?! Anyways, I looked into the cost of doing something like that... Better have $20K for a good customs lawyer or you are just s**t out of luck. American girls are just cheaper when you look at it .

Cross cultural relationships are awesome. It brings a totally fresh perspective to your interaction, and people will generally come into the relationship with less presumptions. Much less of the "been there, done that" type of feeling.

I'm white/Asian/Latin, dating a girl who's Pacific Islander/Asian. A lot of the time, I've found that learning new parts of the opposite culture is half the fun. Where's the enjoyment in dating someone who comes from the exact same background?

Certain ethnic combinations (like white guys looking to date asian girls instead of girls from their own ethnic background) seem to become more popular every day.

Regardless, almost everyone is eventually going to be multiethnic one day in the future. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.

Definitely no problem for me. I have lived in 5 countries the last 4 years and am about to relocate to country nr 6 ... My circle of friends is very multinational and multicultural and that is how I like it. I love interacting with people from different places and cultures, every single conversation teaches you new things. Also, Turkey is by far the nicest country I have lived in with the nicest people I encountered so far, which made me even more convinced that culturally us westerners can learn a lot from people from other cultures. I always dreamt of my future girlfriend being from a far away place, now that I actively started emigrating from place to place I guess the odds it will happen are quite realistic. I never felt something for dating a girl from the same area as mine, it is just so much more fascinating when you can learn from each others cultures. An open mind is all that it takes to make such relationships work.

Given my fascination for the Middle East, I have a secret desire to someday date an Arab girl. I make no criteria of it, but I would find it really fascinating. I like the Middle Eastern culture and mentality, so I definitely believe such a relationship could work.

I don't have a preference for ethnicity.

I live in Texas, which is almost split between whites and Latinos/-as, so interracial relationships are very common.

Actually, a non crosscultural or at least non-crossborder relationship would turn me off slightly. If you come from the same location and backgrounds, it just doesnt seem that exciting to me. Just like I always wanted to emigrate and see the world (a childhood dream of mine that I am now living) I also always fantasised about dating a girl from some obscure far away country. I prefer things adventurous and exotic Also, I rather dont repatriate, so dating a Belgian girl would only work for me if she is willing to leave the country as well, I am not really up to repatriate myself.

So far I fancied girls from 6 different countries and 2 different continents. I like it, every conversation teaches you something new, you dont just discover each other but also each others culture at the same time.

I recently developed a keen liking towards asian women, they so smart and purdy I love the asian culture too. nothing wrong with it. I am white/middleeastern, interracial children tend to be less racist than full bloods

My father is Asian (Vietnamese and Chinese) and my mother white (French Canadian). She is a good 6 cm taller than my dad. Maybe not all women are as open to dating shorter men and many Asians, depending on where they are from, can be smaller - shorter.
On the opposite, Big tall white men may not mind dating petite short women, such as Asian women tend to be.
