The dating scene for expat women

[Second opinion]

Also white, my husband is local rojak, mixed heritage. I know other American, British and Australian women married to Chinese, Malay and Indian Singaporeans. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've met a white South African or Eastern European woman married to a local. Doesn't mean they're not out there though.

[My observations...]

1.  White American female married to SG Chinese.  They met in the US in college (oops, I mean "uni") and she came back with him.

2.  White Australian female married to Malaysian Chinese that she met here in SG.  They have two really cute little Eurasian kids.

To be fair, I could rattle off 10 white guys I know that have married SG Chinese, and 2-3 that married Malays and 1 that married a local Indian.

This would be an interesting study if one could get all the numbers.

Frankly no, especially when you consider the drivel found in some other posts.

Good on you Aphrodite for bringing this dilemma out. Many single (some young, some no so young) have been experiencing this for some time.

[you know what to do!]

No one forced to read them all! 

Funny how when the tide turns and the topic is no longer about how fat and ugly white women are, and how expat men all have yellow fever etc, suddenly it's boring.

[The truth is....]

...no one is replying because Aphrodite has shown herself to be truly repulsive. Who gives a rat's ass if she remains single?

And how have I proven myself to be repulsive, pray tell?

"Wow Purdue, does this mean I am more ethnically diverse in terms of my friendships than you?"

Yes, at least in male-feamle terms. Here in the US, we do have friends of other races of the same sex (at least the males). However, it is not that often you see an Asian female-Caucasian female relationships. White female dating out of race is generally not accepted in many parts of the country. As a poster notes in one example, a Chinese Singaporean married a white American and moved with him to Singapore. Life would be lot difficult for such a couple here in the US than in Singapore. Even in southern Cal, rich communities are segregated. Arcadia outside LA is heavily Asian as is Cerritos..both used to be rich white communities, but whites moved out after rich Asians, particularly Japanese moved in. One rich family moved to Arcadia from Japan, opened several restaurants in Southern Cal...all the four white families moved out within two years to other mostly white communities such as Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach in Orange County. To this day, demographers are puzzled by the phenomenon..is it because of Asian competition in schools? Or is it the perception that their sons may start dating Asian girls? They cannot figure it out. In one area near Silicon Valley it was very clear that white people moved out because of Asian competition in school....

One more thing...it is all great a lot of white women are dating Asian men in Singapore. There are a lot of rich Singaporeans..17% of the households are millionaires and that figure is predicated to rise to 30% by 2020. Perhaps if Aphrodite looks hard enough she will find a rich Chinese Singaporean to date and perhaps it could lead to something. Among the filthy rich..world's top billionaires, two are of Indian origin. One belongs to the Sindhi clan and the other Punjabi...however, they all practise arranged marriage and it is unlikely that any white woman or for that matter Indian of a different clan can get a date or marry into their family. However, East Asian millionaires and billionaires tend to be more open than the Indians, including Chinese.

what garbage are you talking? white women stand a better chance than indian women themselves in marrying an indian men, especially a well educated and rich indian man. white women are considered the ultimate trophy for indian men, the epitome of beauty, top of the food chain so to speak. It would be much harder for a white woman to break into a east asian family as east asian women themselves are highly coveted the world over.

sounds to me like you got a chip on your shoulder

[oh my...]

Purdue, didn't you notice? Most white women being discussed have not gone for Chinese men (except the one who had already lived years in her country first) and no one has mentioned the money any of these husbands make. For most people from Western countries, this would be a really vulgar thing to openly talk about and compare - potentially a major culture clash there, do you think? 

As for nearly one in five locals being a millionaire, well, anyone with eyes can see that simply isn't true.

I find it incredible that you post so arrogantly about your own race and country, but have moved to the US. Now you cry foul that they apparently don't agree with your racism.

[LOL!!!]

You're joking right? Ever heard of Anna Nicole Smith? Or read the posts of OP aka I-wanna-date-someone-who-flies-first-class-and-dines-regularly-at-the-Fullerton.

Purdue - you are off the charts man!

I'm from South Carolina.  The heart of the deep south, the home of secession, Rhett Butler's state, etc.

A friend's sister there just married a black guy last year.  No problem.  He's educated and smart and all that.  His old southern family didn't bat an eye.  Her dad didn't try to run him out of town or anything.

However, if she married some hip hop gangsta black it would have been frowned upon just as badly as if she married some white trash trailer dweller.

You are writing to us from the 1920's or something!  When I go home to SC I see white female / black male couples.  They are not being pursued by lynch mobs!

We don't have many Asians at all in SC, so I can't comment on that.
I know it's not uncommon here to see white female / asian male couples.  I can't imagine California is much different.

I know it's easier to just read the parts that suit, but you are just being stupid. I made it red for you so it's harder to miss.  Yes, we've all HEARD of people like that. The point is, have you ever MET these types of people? Come on!

[gosh...]

And you're calling me stupid? Didn't I mention Aphrodite, who started this thread? She talks exactly like how you said white women do not.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that the latter has no limits
