btw her english is immaculate!
Oh man.

You said that there was a line between arrogance and confidence. You are right about that. But I think you are a bit mistaken with where you are in relation to that line.

Especially with the comment I bolded. It's such and egocentric thing to say.

Not to mention that it's shallow and materialistic. Such a woman is not attractive no matter what she looks like. That's only my opinion of course but I think it's a valid theory as to why you might not get attention from particular men.

ronin you seem really high strung anyway, and thats just my opinion from reading ur past comments on this thread - call me as egocentric as u want the comment that you highligted doesnt seem arrogant to me at all, but then again to each his own

theres a few other comments i could make about what i find ur personality to be like, but i think ill like to keep them to myself since im not bashing anyones character here, im only talking about what asian men find physically attractive (ie which women, when they first see them they think, ok thats hot) because whether someone is shallow, arrogant and materiallistic is not something that you can judge just by looking at them and if you do make such a judgment by simply looking at someone then isnt that arrogance in itself?

and materiallistic?? whats that got to do with anything? when did i make a comment that made you think that?? weird

Wow.. you don't see how that could be arrogant?

Let me explain.

You're basically saying that a guy who YOU percieve to be as smoking hot who with a girl who YOU percieve to be average looking should "get himself an upgrade".

You're not only arrogant for implying that you are better than this average looking girl but you are also arrogant for thinking that your standards of beauty are universal.

If you were confident you would not even be concerned with such things.

That's my reasoning.. take it or leave it.

You're right... to each his/her own... but I'm pretty sure that most rational people will see it my way.

Suggesting that "smoking hot Korean guy" should get a more beautiful girl to be on his arm just because apparently she is not good looking enough for him.

I'm really surprised I have to spell this out for you.

Oh and try to "bash" my character all you like. It's not really relevant since we're discussing YOUR character. It would further prove to me that you're not really that confident at all.

Personally, if someone is arrogant no matter how beautiful they are, the arrogance just completely overides that and they become ugly in my eyes.

Also there are some people that may be average to you, but truly captivating to others. Beauty is subjective and by thinking you are the supreme ruler of judging beauty can be percieved as slightly arrogant. I don't think any men find that attractive let alone Japanese men.

Back to the topic.

From what I've read on JF over the years, the traditions of Japan are probably what we deem quite old-fashioned. Japanese men generally like women who are polite, humble, honest and quiet.

Sometimes western women are viewed as being very career driven, have no qualms about saying what they think. I think Japanese men don't percieve western women this way until they actually meet them and notice that there is a difference in cultures.

Would you say that's probably the case?

I'd just like to add something to this by the way. I found that many Chinese women in the big cities of China seem to be very career driven now-a-days. So much more than the men.

This could be due to how their government (although, I confess, I have little knowledge of that area currently) is currently expanding, and focusing on trade.

So not all Asian women are the same. That's what I saw when I went there

first off it says alot about the kind of person you are calling someone u dont know at all egocentric and arrogant, how can u tell someone not to just judge by looks when ur judging someones character by a few lines the wrote on a website???

and you say im not confident because i mentioned ur character - well i could say the exact same about you, since youve said more about mine then ive even implied about urs

secondly im not the only person in the world who thinks some people are more attractive then others (your trying to tell me that youve never looked at someone and thought they were better looking then someone else?? if thats the case its just strange!) you call people like me arrogant i call people like you delusional, and however u take it in modern society people are obsessed with looks, turn on any entertainment channel or open any magazine the first thing they talk about his how fat/thin someone is, how badly/well dressed someone is etc etc, whether you think thats right or wrong is purely a matter of opinion you just have to accept that I dont agree with you and never will and that you dont agree with me and never will – so stop trying to shove your 'morals' down someone else’s throat

and for the record at no point did i say the guy shud 'upgrade' nor did i say everyone shud follow my views on whats attractive or not - stop putting words in my mouth

oh and
''Suggesting that "smoking hot Korean guy" should get a more beautiful girl to be on his arm just because apparently she is not good looking enough for him''

does in noway imply that im materialistic, in the oxford english dictionary materialistic is defined as; ''excessively concerned with material possessions; money-oriented''
i think u need to get ur adjectives straight first
im really surprised i had to spell that out for you too

Well, getting back on topic, have you ever tried to approach the guys, in the first place? Like a simple "hi" or "wanna have dinner?" I mean, Asian guys generically tend to be a little more shy, as compared to their out-going Western counterparts, although I'm sure it's the same for women.

Anyway, this might be a racial issue. I know most of my Asian friends in occidental regions, who only hang out with their Asian friends. It's "just what we do", they say. So maybe you Western ladies could take the initiative and approach them, with friendly smiles and all that.


There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.

Obviously I was paraphrasing you. I think it's pretty accurate. I mean I've noticed how you havent set me straight on what you actually were supposed to be saying and am just saying that I'm "putting words in your mouth". If that's the case then set me straight? In which way is my paraphrasing of your previous point inaccurate?

And it is your character we're discussing so bringing up my character is irrelevant.. which I interpret as being not confident. I don't think it's a far fetched notion.

Haha.. you fail

materialistic - definition of materialistic by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Materialism (materialistic being the adjective)

1. Philosophy The theory that physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena.
2. The theory or attitude that physical well-being and worldly possessions constitute the greatest good and highest value in life.
3. A great or excessive regard for worldly concerns.

There is no need to go on and on with personal attacks.
The thread was not "Why Asian guys won`t date ME".

I don`t want to have to close this thread.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
