The idea of dating/marrying EA is nice, but I'd argue its already so tough to find someone who has the same values/core beliefs (and other basic relationship pre-condns), why add race and make "perfect happiness/bliss" impossible? I have to agree with this, there should be no racial standards either positive or negative. Sometimes when race is involved in a relationship, it hurts something deep, real deep. Should be about a man and a woman, end of story, not about race this and race that.

Update: I was so set on dating an EA guy but unfortunately I have other standards outside of race, which is too difficult with such a minority in my area. So I am in the process of dating a white guy. I almost feel a sort of superiority to him. Does anyone else feel that way? Like our EAness makes us rare and desired. He is English/Italian white bread and I just feel...exotic? Haha, man I hate that I am totally giving in to stereotypes.

A woman's education level is beginning to become more my most superficial criteria, exceeding superficial criteria of being EA.
You can be as hot as you want, but if you don't know where Iran is located, you should be bitch slapped.

Exactly, I need PhD minimum. Why else am I working to hard to get my masters? So they not only need to be EA but genius material too!

I dont get why do gal have high standard on guy? I mean gal always said they want guy like this, like that but the end they normally end up with jerk and cry out all the good guy are taken or gay!!! Is it blame on evolution that cause us to in search off a better mate which drive up to withhold perfection? Or woman just finding excuse to blame guy for being who they really are?

The perfect girl does not have certain facial features, or the same taste in music, or similar goals in life.The perfect one is the person who stirs you in a way that cannot be explained in words, whose effect on you has nothing to do with superficialities. Who trait and personality outshine the beauty of her skin cause beauty is skin deep, true beauty is within. In the end of the day what is inside which counts....

"I like you only because you are EA like me" "I don't like you only because you are EA too" Can anyone see something wrong with both of these comments? Or is it just me?

Growing up in SE Asia where I knew ALL the other EAs or white kids in town, fellow EAs felt more like brothers and sisters so I never really had a crush on any of them (having said that my first GF in highschool turned out to be one haha). It's different here in Australia now - nobody really cares what ethnicity anyone is.

tompo - totally agree, all the eurasians i grew up with did feel like brothers and sisters, esp since eurasian families tend to befriend each other in asia so we're all connected in some way or another. i didnt date a eurasian until my 5th boyfriend (after highschool) and he didnt grow up in singapore, which probably had something to do with why i went for him. the next bf after that was also eurasian but one who returned from overseas. now i'm dating someone i went to school with but never saw as someone i could potentially date, because neither of us found eurasians attractive back then because of the whole brotherly sisterly thing.. but now that we're both at university overseas, it makes sense. we both grew up in asia, we're both eurasian, went to the same international schools. it's a parallel i could find nowhere else.
