Have a very interesting discuss at Does your Asian mother have OCD? When Paddy mention regarding his ex-girlfriend's mother said that Eurasian kids are all Playboys!! So is this true or we have been misunderstood by people?

I think we have to be careful how we discuss this. Shouldn't it be whether 'people think Eurasians are playboys' rather than 'are we playboys?' Generalisations aren't likely to be persuasive, especially amongst this group, and I'd suggest the only paint brush that can label us is that we are all Eurasian (and even that is debated here). Clearly we are all different and stereotypes don't fit. We are such a heterogeneous non-cohesive group.
I'm not sure it's constructive to discuss things that we know aren't true. Though I have to admit that my big sister, when giving me advice about chosing a partner, said 'how can you know if you want be with someone if you don't sleep with them first?' That's the kind of advice you expect to hear from a brother or a dirty granddad!
I am sure there are guys and girls who use aspects of being Eurasian as a vehicle for getting sex, but let's not generalise and fortify other people's stereotypes of us.

^ Gregory Uttsunada (a.k.a. VJ Utt) is not actually Eurasian (despite his Luk Kreung looks). I always thought he was metrosexual but gay... where are you hearing this from?

I'm pretty sure there are player types whatever race.
Probability of EA playboy/asshole types in Asia are probably higher though, seeing as they are genereally fawned upon and have more opportunity, esp in the 'modelling/entertainment' industry.

Daily life is harsh, and most of us constantly seek escape from it in fantasies and dreams. Players/Playboys feed on this weakness; standing out from others through a distinctive and appealing style, they make us want to watch them. At the same time, they are vague and ethereal,keeping their distance, and letting us imaginemore than is there. Their dreamlike quality works on our unconscious; we are not even aware how much we trap in them till it is too late.

Do womanizers beget womanizers? Intermixing does require some initiative.

Don't worry, we will set the record straight. Beside nothing bad ever happen to good people right.. *Pulling the most angelic face ever grace on Eurasian Nation* ;D

You will be hard pressed to stereotype any Eurasians at all by that statement.
But I know I was, and everyone in my family are players as well. But it has nothing to do with our racial makeup, perhaps it was influenced by culture; Mongols tend to be rather confident both men and women. But it's mere confidence. Also it can also be our class, as we come from successful families. My dad, my uncle, my aunt, all successful and highly-educated.
Me however, compared to my cousins I'm an amateur player compared to them, being an un-educated bad boy.

Subuatai, Im not stereotype anyone nor i point finger at anyone. But i feel that the media and people who have bad experience with Eurasian Playboy have put us all in to the bad spot. Im here to clear out bad image of Eurasian guy everywhere. If you got issue with Eurasian Player/Playboy pls stated your case here. We are here to discuss are Eurasian guy players or we have clearly been misunderstood?

I do not believe it's the media or anybody's particular experiences. To be honest I believe this stereotype is complete bullsh*t. I'd rather call it social immaturity.
There are players of every color, of every culture, of every background out there. It's incredibly immature to put us all in such a category. On the playground, what's the first thing brought up by two children having a fight? It's DIFFERENCE.
The world should grow up. If people have a problem with players, being Eurasian or not Eurasian has nothing to do with it.

And sure, some people will play up to stereotypes - whether they want to or not. Like I said in my first post: 'are we playboys' or ''do people think we are playboys?' Anyway, I'm not a player, but have been accused of being one - on occassion just for being mixed.
