“Hot successful Asian girl” dating problems Pt. 2

Continuing on from my last post on my dating woes as an acceptable-looking a decent-looking [I’ve upgraded myself because my skin cleared up a bit over the last few days], reasonably-successful Asian questionable-girl, I’ve identified that many of my dating problems are predominately attributable to certain misperceptions people seem to have of me, a few of which are discussed in further detail below.

But first, let’s recap:

1. Do you have a job or are you looking for a job? If the answer is yes, then I will date you. [If the answer is no, I will still probably date you.]

2. I don’t look like Sandra Oh [Thank GOD], or maybe I do [in which case, Dear LORD].

3. I am a hobbit.

Ok, now moving on to people’s misperceptions of me getting in the way of my dating and saving depriving the men of this world:

4. “You will only date rich guys who will buy you LV bags”. I feel like this misperception arises mainly because I’m Asian + “successful” [a deadly combination, I know. Almost as deadly as Asian + only child], and I have a couple of thoughts on this:

• Firstly, what is wrong exactly with liking or wanting nice things? So would you like me to go exchange this TAG watch for a G-Shock and use the rest of the money to buy a goat for a village in Rwanda in your name?
• Secondly, since I AM “successful”, I can make my own money and buy my own LV bag [thank you very much] and without you thinking that you’re the best boyfriend in the world. How about you stop playing with your phone when I’m talking to your ass and THEN we can discuss whether you will even remain A boyfriend.

5. “You want to get married and have babies.” Oh HELLSSSSSS no.

Let me hit you with some knowledge right here.

I have pretty big commitment issues [yes, girls are allowed to have them too]. I mean, I can’t even commit to a lunch decision [food courts are my best friends AND my worst enemies] let alone to one person for the REST OF MY LIFE.

In fact, I was in an 8-year relationship and didn’t marry the homie – not because he didn’t want to [come on, who doesn’t want THIS? Well… obviously EVERYBODY, otherwise I wouldn’t still be single] but because I didn’t want to. I was young, I wanted to focus on my career and I was always curious as to “what else is out there”. Yes, girls think these things too. The difference is that you end up staying with us because you realise that we’re the best things that ever happened to you. We, on the other hand, stay with you because we don’t want to rude.

And babies? Believe it or not, not all girls are baby crazy [Crazy? Yes. Baby crazy? No.]. Like who wants something that constantly cries for no reason, can change moods dramatically from one extreme to the other and lacks any sense of rational thought. If I did, I would be a lesbian.

6. “You will only date hot guys”. My friend once told me that I went for a certain type of guys: the “Chiselled Asian Jock”.

Ok, I ain’t gonna lie. I like good-looking guys. Actually, I just generally like good-looking things.

Honestly, who is doing this:

Having said that though, I’ve also had conversations like this:

Conclusion: Puke-able face may be an issue but I think we can still make it work.
