Thought I might give a man's perspective on this. Yes, it is certainly true, many Western women come to Asia and find their stakes in the dating game have dropped consderably. The opposite is true for Western men. I think what it comes down to is this (although I am sure there are a lot of cynical women who will have a more negative perspective): 1. Western men really, really appreciate the way Eastern women treat them. They keep the house clean, cook, wash and iron without any complaints whatsoever. My current girlfriend here wakes up before me and lays my work clothes on the bed and has a coffee waiting on the coffee table every morning. Ah, bliss. Of course, there is also their great figures, beautiful skin, raven hair and those eyes! Also, the difference in culture and language makes them very interesting and exotic. There is always something to talk with them about if you are into learning languages and cultures. Being able to get a point across that would take three seconds with a Western woman can take a fair deal of time with her Oriental counterpart. When you have got that point across, there is enormous satisfaction on both sides. 2. Eastern women really, really appreciate the way Western men treat them. They open doors for them, talk to them with great respect, do not grope them and generally treat them as equals. On a more risque note, acts in the bedroom tend to be reciprocated. Western men in Asia have a reputation as gentlemen who will not shirk their responsibilities as a fathers. Of course, there is also their white skin (a sign of status and extremely desirable in Asia), blue eyes, peaked noses and strong jaw lines. Needless to say, the fact that all Westerners are perceived as wealthy (which is true) also helps a lot. My perspective is that Oriental women offer a lot of competition to Western women and vis-a-vis as Oriental men seldom give us much competition.
