EAs.. I have been heavily influenced from my Asian side even though all my close friends are white and am quite chaotic and uncontrollable in my actions. I can't say I have yet met a full-Asian guy that I get along with enough hobby-wise etc. but then I find white guys can be over patronising and make stupid assumptions. So yes, Eurasians. They're also sometimes very attractive which does not go a miss.

I've read all of your ideas, and I think they all make sense ! To summarise what others have said: EAs can get along very well with other EAs Some might see other EA's as too simliar to being brother or sister. EA's that are going out with EA's are not going out with the same type of EA People who have travelled or are worldly, have a broader view of meshing with others? Yongfook gets more than us

You forgot to note that there is a possibility that EA's may be attracted to another EA out of pure narcissism or/and from being socially isolated/retarded and only making friends from boards-i think, pretty vital points. But, looking from the sunny side-your points are pretty good

Can't say I've met a lot of EAs back home so I've only ever dated "white" girls. The EAs i've met I've always got along well with, there is some kind of connection there, perhaps it's the shared childhood trauma of watching mum chase dad with a meat cleaver. At any rate the white girls are missing something, so I'm toying with the idea of dating a "westernized" asian or EA should I get the chance. In the meantime my narcissism will pull me through

OMG, when I look at Yong Fook I see someone looked like me when I was that age (about 15-18 years ago) -- but I am not that narcissitic. But if he stops smoking and drinking, maybe he can look like me in 16-18 years. Back to topic I am attracted to people who are seriously interested in delving directly into various cultures. I find SO FEW people like that. In HK, it seems that local Cantonese HK people, unless they have a JApanese fetish or are an anglophileare so turned off by other cultures. And the very very very few non-Chinese dig deep into the local Cantonese culture, despite how urbane and cosmopolitan they see themselves.

I've never dated an Asian White or EA guy lol. I always said I'd like to date an EA though...I jus think it would be interesting to spend time with someone who has experienced the same thing as me and can understand where I'm coming from. That said I know about 2 EA's!! Although I met one in a club the other week and it was like we were long lost family!! He ran up to me like OMG your eurasian too! and it was like we knew eachother haha xx

I will definitely like to date Hapa,EA or mixed of some sort. I even kinda went out with this one guy who was Irish and Spanish but I find he could relate to me. But there is something to be said about dating someone with an asian component ....just so hot

Never dated a EA guy, but when I was a kid I went on my first date with one. Haha. Anyway, I'm not opposed to dating any guy of a different culture because I have two cultures going on at once. I'm mainly interested in someone who's grounded and has a passionate drive for whatever they enjoy in life. All in all, I tend to end up with mixed guys though.

After a bout of having relations eurasians (like, four in a row), i've come to the conclusion that looking for, only dating and have preconcieved notions of EAs being the ideal partner is really really narrow minded and a tad narcissistc.. We all love ourselves because our parents broke the race bond. And yet here we are, so many of us, looking for the same peoples, of the same colour and eurasian experiences.
Multicultural and loving of all races, we are not.

Multicultural and loving of all races, we are not. Statistically speaking, relationships work better when a couple has many things in common. If the EA experience is a huge part of one's life, then I'd say that an EA/EA relationship by statistics could be more successful. I have no problem with other races. But in the end, it's nice to have somebody with a similar background who likes the foods you like, and the movies you like, etc.
