You’ll definitely deserve some street cred if you can make SALD a thing.

Non-Asian woman here. What do I think about Asian guys? That’s quite the generalized question. I’m gonna narrow it down to “Taiwanese guys that I have known,” since we’re on the good ol’ Forumosa.

Disclaimer: All of this is purely hypothetical and ignoring my immensely happy LTR.

Appearance: Exactly like non-Asian men. That is, some of them are are beautiful as all get out. Some look just fine (which is perfectly acceptable in the romance department.) Some don’t attract me physically.

Personality: This is where it gets tough. The ability to talk about the deep stuff is everything. My Chinese is sh!t. If his English is sh!t, I don’t really know his personality and he doesn’t know mine. So no matter the appearance (see above), I’m not really going to be into him if we’re shouting at each other from two different metaphorical boats rather than deep-diving together in the same ocean of communication.

But of the Taiwanese men I’ve known whose English was adequate for more abstract communication, I’ve gotten the impression that they’re all a lot more driven than me when it comes to traditional modes of success. They’ve been go-getters. BAMFs. I’m much too low-key and artsy-fartsy to not irritate the sh!t out of someone like that. Or perhaps I should say ('cuz I’m a go-getter BAMF in my own way) is that what I’m willing to bust ass for in life seems like it would be garbage to them. And that’s fine. But get out of my bed, bro.

What nationality are you?

American/Western European/Canadian?
