Well, it's like this. White guys have the money, the looks, the personality, the manners, the charm, the moves and the rest.
Obvious, innit?
Since when does skin color equals money,looks,personality,manners,charms blah blah blah?.
I look different all year round and still have it all

And you need to lighten up and understand a bit of humour.

CherioOo, have you ever heard of .........

SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers

Now I'm sure that its got alot to do with the whole expat package thing, but come on ladies, these guys would never get the time of day in NYC and they know it. How does Singapore society look on this, what do the ladies' families think about this and more importantly, how can the ladies "be" (u know what i mean), with these guys??
I'm not suggesting that asian women should keep with their own but aren't you asian men pis*ed off about this??
I'm a fat tall old (if late 40s is old enough) Indian expat who goes out with a pretty little Filipino girl here.
Always people seem to stare at us .... particularly the fat old White expats and the local Indian gals.
I always think what the f.... is wrong with us. Anyone has any ideas?

very interesting (and long) series of posts on the caucasian/asian dilemma....i'm moving to Singapore soon and just wondering what to expect. I'm Aussie born with a Malaysian mother, white father. I have always been attracted to (and married and divorced one) caucasian women.
Questions:
a) am i classified as caucasian or asian or is the term eurasian known and accepted?
b) do singaporean (asian) babes like eurasian guys or prefer caucasian expats?
c) are there many caucasian babes in singapore?

I am not sure women here straightaway like to be classified as 'babes'.
