... in response to How to impress an Asian lady, posted by Jeff S on Nov 8, 2003I think you're very correct. Another thing I would add would be, for lack of a good term, being a natural male. A stand up guy.
It seems to me that in the modern American feminized culture there isn't much room for the natural male role. Traditional masculine qualities like respect, honor, leadership, fairness, sacrafice, etc; seem to be in low demand. There's still a niche for overly macho idiots, and wimpy little ragdolls. This gives American women what they need; the man they want to marry and the man they'll cheat with.
Asian women seem to admire more traditional masculine qualities. They don't want loud bullies, anymore than they want a dishrag who is easily led and soft.
