Has Asian GF = closeted Gay

Can somebody explain this trope and is it exclusive to Datalounge?

I never heard it before I started reading DL and I lived in Asia. I've also worked around Asian girlfriend-guys for 20 years. Those guys tend to like Asian women because they think the women are submissive and uber-feminine, not because they are shaped like boys.

by Anonymousreply 3September 27, 2017 9:18 AM

I don't understand because if anything Asian women are far more feminine (small hands & feet etc) whereas white women and black women are far more acceptably (for a gay androphile) masculine especially an athletic ruler-shaped-body one. Thoughts?

Sometimes expressed here by the formula "dating an Asian woman is the last stop before gay" (cf. R11). The DC lawyer's Asian wife was one of the clues that led to DL's correct analysis of the Soft Butch Sous Chef Murder.

And R5, you're an ass and a poor reader. R3 clearly said "I never heard it BEFORE I started reading DL."

A poster on a thread about some actor with an Asian Eife a few years back made the claim that closeted gay men like Asian wives because they're thin and less curvy than American women and they can close their eyes during sex and pretend they're with a man. And it took off. People started listing actors and friends they believed to be gay and their Asian wives/girlfriends/dates as proof of the theory.

This was followed by the "soft butch Sou Chef" murder mystery thread, where a closeted married man was murdered in a hotel room in a hook up gone bad while his Asian wife waited at home for him. This was all the proof DL needed for the gay man/Asian wife theory to become fact.

Welcome to DL, OP.

by Anonymousreply 17September 27, 2017 12:16 PM

It's a fairly well-known joke stereotype and has nothing to do with being slim like young boys. Stop trying to equate being gay to liking young boys.

The joke stems from several stereotypes about dating Asian women - that they are meek and submissive, that they will do anything to date a white man, and that they are a little naive and a bit dumb. These combine to allow a guy to continue to engage in homo activities with other dudes while still having a "girlfriend" they can present in public.

The Asian girlfriend being too dumb to notice and easily fooled, too meek to say anything if she did notice, and too willing to overlook it to have a white boyfriend.

I always found it pretty silly.

Lots of guys out there date Asians, white guy/asian girl is an EXTREMELY common pairing. Something like a a third of all asian girls in the US are marrying white guys.

The cynical truth is often guys out there who are struggling to date white girls can land an asian girlfriend, they tend to be easier to date.

by Anonymousreply 23September 27, 2017 12:45 PM

No one but you has equated marrying Asian women because they're thin like young boys but you r18. The original post some years back had someone saying it would be easier to pretend you were with a MAN if you weren't having to deal with the curves of a fat American woman. Boys have never been mentioned until your post.

It started as a joke but it has since become a DL "fact" which is spouted regularly. Of course with your poor reading comprehension you've probably missed that.

by Anonymousreply 24September 27, 2017 12:47 PM

R18 explained it exactly. It has nothing to do with them looking like boys. it has to do with being able to have a pretty, feminine, submissive wife that you don't have to have sex with. When I was in the closet I tried to get an Asian wife for the very reasons R18 outlined.

r3, a lot of asian women are not shapely. There south east asians are more so but the Japanese, Korean and Chinese don't have much body unless they are americanized and have had work done.

I live in quite an asian area and there are a lot of white/asian pairings. I don't think that they are gay men but they are nerdy tech industry, engineering, and math men, and these are the women they meet in that industry of asian -americans. And then there are ugly, dorky men that have a little money and to be honest some of the recently arrived asian woman just want to latch on to a white man because he has some money. I see the most unusual pairings of an attractive asian woman and some busted looking shit of a man. Those are in it for the money honey.

I hear on DL that they are closeted gay men, i dunno, but the Asian woman with her sights set on a white guy will take anything and not ask questions, but the white guy with a fetish for asian woman, maybe that is the one that is closeted gay. But I don't know anyone that things an asian american woman is passive. Maybe they are in the home country but the woman that I know are running the shit. There are a few passive aggesive ones but nothing submissive about an asian woman. That is complete bullshit.

All white men I know that have dated Asian women -- ALL -- have had major personality defects, and have used the general neediness of the Asian races to keep their partner captivated.

by Anonymousreply 36September 27, 2017 7:34 PM

For the longest time, mostly back in the 1970's and 1980's, it was assumed a guy was gay if he had an Asian girlfriend, especially one with limited English ability that he was gay and his marriage was a cover on his way to partnership at the firm, or just fitting in with the corporate hierarchy. The marriage was a two-way contract, wife got credit cards and a comfortable middle-class American lifestyle, husband wasn't obligated for sex or could play around on the side. Sometimes they would have kids, sometimes not. Asian women were often considered Machiavellian and willing to play along for the money and status. It's a negative stereotype to be sure.

by Anonymousreply 37September 27, 2017 7:42 PM

r18, that's interesting. I'd buy that.

by Anonymousreply 38September 27, 2017 11:11 PM

There is a perception that Asian women are more tolerant of extramarital affairs than other women. If not tolerant, they are resigned to a husband's cheating. "Don't ask, don't tell" and "grin and bear it" are axiomatic in a lot of places. A lot of scumbags take advantage of that. So, r18's theory makes sense. She might be naive or she might be willing to look the other way to keep the peace. I've seen that a lot. It's not a stretch to imagine that the same is true for same-sex affairs as well.

Exclusive to DL? Bullshit. I noticed it even as a teenager in the 70s

Every guy I ever knew with an Asian GF pinged like mad. I remember one hilarious example from when I worked at Sears Auto Center in the 90s-this cute little Pilipino girl with a Toyota that had starting problems came in and bought a new battery. Well, it turned out the battery wasn't the problem. It was the regulator. I guess she panicked and called boyfriend over, a blonde preppy cliche'. Well, it was VERY agitated, and immediately placed it's hands on its hips and the purses were falling all over the glazed pavement. "I'm a law student!" it scolded at one point. That's when the service writer scurried away to laugh hysterically where Miss Thing wouldn't see her. I finally calmed him down after I offered to put the old battery back in and sort the real problem. He went a tad coquettish at that, right in front of the GF.

White Male/Asian female is an extremely common pairing. But I do agree that white guys who are really into Asian girls generally are because they perceive then as easier to date than white girls.

I’m Asian and just my my .02 cents here. From my observation, if the Asian girl is homely and far from being hot then I would noticed that the white guy she’s with almost always ping. I suspected them as closeted who are just using the girl. But if the girl is truly hot, then the guy is more likely really straight.

I've been involved in Asian Studies for decades-- in the US and in East Asia. White guys who date Asians certainly have a reputation. It's that they couldn't find a white girl to put up with them or that they like subservient women. I'm not saying those stereotypes are true, but they are widespread. The gay thing is limited to DL.

by Anonymousreply 59November 1, 2018 4:48 PM

White guy and asian pairings are almost always gay, from what I've seen.

And in the few straight pairings, the white guys are almost always old and overweight.

In either case, all the asian women see are mixed babies and financial security.

I have never met a man with an Asian gf who wasn’t a colossal geek. Or closeted. Literally never. If they were ugly, weird, annoying or an awful neckbeard, you could bet on them having an equally annoying Asian girlfriend. The real reason is that Asian women will sell their left tiny fried egg booby for a white man, no matter what they look like or what they do for a living.

1. Had heard this long before I'd heard of DL. IIRC, it went first they try beautiful women, then they try Asian women. The idea being that both models and Asian women have slender twink-like bodies and minimal boobs.

2. Asian woman-white nerd is a common pairing. Jewish nerds in particular. The positive spin is that the Asian woman appreciates her nerd's intellectual bent, is thrilled to have a white man and the nerd finds her supportive and kind and not as intimidating as all those hot JAPs he grew up with back in Scarsdale.

3, Asian guys get the short end of the stick--it's actually supposed to be a big problem in the Asian community, according to Asian friends of mine--too many unmarried guys with good jobs in STEM and poor social skills. The Chinese are envious of the Indians because they get hitched via arranged marriages, but the Chinese guys stay single as their womenfolk marry white men and white Grindr gays reject them.

Sucking and fucking 5000 dudes and having a couple experiments with women makes you gay.

Staring at a guys dick and never at a pussy makes you gay.

Staring at mens bodies and never at womens' makes you gay

Being sexually attracted to men while women are neither here nor there in that context makes you gay.

Things with guys make you gay, things with women make you less gay.

What am I missing.... oh yeah:

And bisexuals.
