10 Ridiculously Offensive Things People Tell Asian Women On OkCupid
The Tumblr Creepy White Guys collects messages from “creepy white guys with Asian fetishes.”

Every Asian girl who has ever tried online dating, whether on POF, OKCupid, or Match has experienced it: messages from Creepy White Guys with Asian fetishes. I just got back into the dating scene and am already being bombarded with some absolutely horrifying messages. I've collected some of the best ones here, and I welcome any additions to my collection.


This is my offensive 'enough to make you vomit' trigger alert.

is great: "I'm half Chinese, and the amount of men who come up to me to tell me how much they "love Asian girls" is disgusting. I am so sick of this whole racial fetish bullshit, it perpetuates stereotypes. I'm not a porn category, I will not wear a school girl outfit for your benefit. I will not make you feel empowered. I will not be docile and submissive because I'm a human being, not a pet. I do not need to be protected by a big strong white man. I am not your trophy you can show off to all of your white friends. I am not your property."

really... in a way, there was a ton more respect in the past than what women and girls face today. today, out loud, in public, men feel the right, the norm to talk to women as if they are their porn. that is the conditioned men we have today.

i think... i have a real attitude problem here. yup

It wondered if I was just not as aware of it when I was younger, but I think you're right. Misogyny is so much more profound today. I suppose it results from a decline in male privilege and some blame women because being male doesn't carry the automatic level of privilege it once did. Also the general rightward trajectory of the country is evident in racism and sexism.

especially today. especially with the net. and yes, feeding into real world like the politician sending out email "children and vagina's?

men will dismiss it as just a small portion on a dating site. that is being dishonest. ignoring a real issue that needs to be addressed. this is not just a small group, on one site, or even a dating site. this is a growing problem of too many men feeling they are allowed to speak to and about women in this manner and it feeds into our real life.

we hear it repeatedly. as the asian women do.

to be told not a big deal cause just a few men, is bullshit. we know this. and we know when told this, the man is doing it to dismiss ANOTHER very large concern women have.

i really want to know, if it is a human trait, and not just man, which would indicate entitlement and privilege, where thru out the net are the women talking about men in this manner?

should "catch more flies with honey?" By which they mean that if women would just be really nice and docile, sometimes men might listen to what they say, and it would be way easier for the men?

For those women who listen to that advice, these are the kinds of flies they catch.

so whenever i hear that, i KNOW the person is not wanting to address the issue. further, they say, men talk so much more blunt, to the point. wish women would.

ya, right. and when we do they yell.... hysteria, outrage, mean.

sigh... whatevah.

She said she gets stupid comments all the time. A "pick up" line for certain men is 'So, do you speak English?' (She said she told them 'that is soo not a pick up line')

She also told me that on more than one occasion women will see pictures of her boyfriend, and one of the responses she got was "he's pretty hot for an Asian guy" of course she was WTF on that one, and we got into a discussion on how Asian men are perceived as not sexual or not desirable---no matter what their actual appearance is is many parts of Western culture.

---A place where racism and misogyny blend into an perfectly ugly whole.
