Asian....yep that's the title.



My friend JN, (let's call her that) is Asian. She is recently "moving on" in her life when it comes to men. Good for her. But she is encountering many men who are using the line...."I think Asians are hot."

Ok...there are variations on this line, such as:

"I have always wondered what Asians are like." To which I can only imagine deserves the response, tastes like chicken?

"I always wanted TO BE with an Asian." Hello, you are standing next to me right now. That counts...how is it?

Or my favorite...

"Asian women are so exotic!" Yes...we are just like fucking lotus flowers. All quiet and submissive and shit.

When I was in college it really worked in my favor to be Asian. There were still not that many Asian people in Wisconsin, so most men/boys thought I only spoke my native language. Which is funny cause God damn if I didn't speak Minnesotan, "don't cha know?"

Anyway....if some gross dude tried to pick me up in the bar or a house party I would pull out all the stops......

Imagine this scene:

"I think Asian women are hot."

Now I would cover my mouth, muster up the tiniest voice possible and squint my eyes all while saying, "Oh so sorry. I no speak English. You funny American boy. Hee hee."

Then would proceed to turn around and successfully ignore the boy. Don't judge. I had to do it. And I was usually drunk. So all sense of PC was out the window.

A little uncomfortable though, when later in the night, I was swearing like a trucker with my friends and the dude would look at me all perplexed. Oh well....serves them right for using a lame line like that.

Men.....it doesn't work. Don't use lines like that on Asian women. It makes you sound stupid. And desperate like all you do is search Asian porn online all day long.

Poor JN. Having to deal with that crap now. Thank god I have Ryan....he used the pick up line..."I'm drinking vodka!" The man had me at "drinking".
