"Because most of fab is in the UK and they don't have the same image here? That's what boggles my mind... I never heard of Asian men being discriminated against until I came to fab...." As an American living in the UK, I guess I would just say it's a cultural thing. You do know the difference between American Asian and British Asian, though, right? That shit confused the hell out of me for a good two months | |||

That shit confused the hell out of me for a good two months " Yes in America.. Asian = Chinese, Korean, Japanese In the UK Asian = Pakistani , Indian , Sri Lankan... It took me awhile to understand this. I have 3 Indian friends and all of them married white women. I can't see why the Brits who have had Indians living in the UK for 100+ years are more discriminatory than Americans. | |||

"I'm probably going to offend every race, left right and centre with this comment, but I'll add it's just my observation and I'm fully open to people having had different experiences. I think generally there is more racism in the UK towards the Asian population than there is towards the black population. I think it's more ingrained, more accepted, and more deeply felt than any other kind of racism we have. I think the stereotypes here are mostly around Asian men and include things like lazy, unclean, smelly, unlikely to be an achiever unless they are a doctor, and selfish. These stereotypes expand to the fact that there are many Asian communities in the UK, where "people are being pushed out of their own neighbourhood", this is without getting into the insecurities people have with not being able to understand Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, or whatever language is being spoken in front of them. I also don't think it's talked about in polite circles, but everyone's heard the whispers, and many have never bothered to challenge them, because it's "just a giggle", or because they actually believe the stereotypes to be true. So yes, I think there is a great deal of stereotyping and racism in play in the UK towards the Asian population. Sadly I think it's that really lamentable kind of racism where people aren't even aware that they are doing it. So yes, your miles may vary, but in my experience the UK has a lot of catching up to do in attitudes." I agree with this comment, having worked in the courier industry were there is a lot of Asians. Hear them bragging of their white women, whilst their good Asian wives at home looking after the family. Also the " grooming" of girls in Burnley, Rochdale, Bradford in the press didn't help. Sorry if I also offended people on here, but that is how it is outside of the Fab bubble | |||

Sorry if I also offended people on here, but that is how it is outside of the Fab bubble" Just to be absolutely clear here, as it already seems to have been missed, I don't think there's any circumstance where judging someone by their skin colour is acceptable, outside of getting the right shade of foundation. I speak a limited amount of Urdu and Punjabi, I used to know a lot more, do you have any idea how many conversations like this I have overheard, absolutely none. My suggestion is you met a load of bolshy lads trying to make their lives sound cooler to their mates, but it does prove my point of how it's "okay" to stereotype Asians... | |||

" I don't understand why it would be different here but it is. My best mate was born in Jamaica and came to the UK aged 6 in the 1960's. He sees himself as British even though he doesn't have a British passport. I grew up with an Indian family living a few doors away. They had kids around the same age as me and we all played together. The kids i played with see themselves as indian first and British second, despite the fact that they and their parents were born here. | |||

What does integration mean (I am a number not a name)? Is there some sort of standard template that everyone fits into is there? I think you’ll find there isn’t, this is not a simple subject, the answer to racism is not integration its education. I have no experience of the US but from what I see and read (I accept this might be a distorted view) the UK is much more of a tolerant place than the US. I was born in England, I was raised in England, I was educated in England I speak English in fact English is my first language, I think in English (if that makes sense) and I think of myself as English not British, English. I have been to Wales but never bean to Northern Ireland or Scotland so I have as much experiences of those countries as I have of the country of my parent’s birth. To answer your original question as far as this subject matter is concerned no not really there’s a wide assortment of people here from varying backgrounds and preferences. So on the main most of us don’t struggle, no more than any other men on here. The one’s that do complain of struggling will most likely struggle regardless of what colour they are. | |||

However, asians are still automatically sorted into fitting a particular charecter profile. This kind of thinking is flawed and antithetical to living the so called liberated swinging lifestyle....oh well. | |||

" Can't it be the result of unfortunate experiences? I started off as "let's meet for a coffee and see if we click" and ended up avoiding anyone with links to the subcontinent. They are usually not bad people but with ideas about women's roles (also in the swinging community) which mean things will be said early on that I find incompatible with being a man, a gentleman and a human being. For some strange reason this includes British-born Asians. Sorry, but I had no stereotypes in my head when starting out in this scene but of all the Asian guys I have ever been in touch with (quite a few) only one cut the mustard but unfortunately did not attract me. Sorry, guys, but some people dig themselves into a deeper hole than anyone else would. | |||

"Does seem to be a very significant portion of British women who will not meet/date Asian men. My ex was one of the more hilariously open ones about it, made her feelings on Asians very plain. Said they were just unattractive to her, and their culture made their personalities unattractive also. Her words not mine. The reason it was hilarious though - She was mixed race. Half white British. Half Indian on her father's side. " I have a very good female friend who is Asian. She will not date Asian guys, she married a white guy and is now single again. She wouldn't consider Asian guy. She will say that the Asian guys have an attitude that women are there to serve hubby and please him. She doesn't like their attitude to women. Interestingly her brother also married a white girl. Does that make them racist? | |||

"I had sex with my asian friend yesterday. He said during conversation 'I don't even fancy asian girls, don't know why, I just don't' and I thought 'well that's weird'. Then I came to think of a female (white) friend who once told me she couldn't bring herself to date a white man or suck a white willy as it repulsed her. Same thing I suppose. We can't help how we are made, I can't understand their thinking but then they are straight and can't understand why I'd want to lick a vagina. Haha" | |||

"we have only met a few Asian guys on the swinging scene. The majority were lovely, one was a bit weird, but have seen more weird behaviour from white guys. The worst behaviour we have ever seen in clubs has been from white people, male and female. I think people will always complain, whatever race they are from, about not getting meets on here. There will be some people who won't meet Asians because they are racist. There will be people who don't meet Asians because they don't fancy them and there will be people who do meet Asians. There will be decent Asian swingers, and there will be dickheads, just like everyone else." | |||

But their choice but not something I'd need to put in a profile. " Have to admit, I'm not a great fan of stating an appearance that you don't want, whether it be race, body shape, dress size, height. We all have our different tastes, and I'm no exception. But I think it's nicer to say what I do like than what I don't like. | |||

"Just because you state 'no Asian men' on your profile does not make you racist " Absolutely. It means either: A: you just don't fancy them, or B: you've had a negative experience with an Asian man. Unfortunately B happens, as it does with anyone. It doesn't mean tarring everyone with the same brush anymore than it means I'm a skinhead football hooligan. Either way you are clearly stating your ground rules. Simple as that. PS I think every age limit should be raised to at least 45. | |||

"The trouble is, if you meet 500 white guys and 50 are arseholes, then you meet 300 black guys and 30 are arseholes and then you meet 10 Asian guys and 10 are arseholes you remember that. Even though it's the smallest number it's the highest percentage and you think why bother. We all know there are nice people and arseholes in every group but you will avoid the group that has made the worst impression..." Not at all because id like to say i judge people on face value rather than the colour of their skin or ethnicity. Why discount somebody because of what a totally unrelated stranger has behaved like who has no affiliation with the said individual other than ethnic background? Makes no sense to me but hey ho it is what it is | |||

But I wouldn't dream of listing the physical attributes that I'm less partial to. Partly because I wouldn't want to offend those who fit that description, and secondly because, who knows, I might fancy someone I wouldn't expect to. Admittedly I've never been sexually attracted to any man of Oriental/East Asian origen. But never say never - my preferences are just preferences, not hard and fast rules. | |||

"So would people be more or less offended if a woman or couple put black only, white only etc? All comes across as narrow minded, in my opinion. But their choice but not something I'd need to put in a profile. " I was married to a kind, loving, decent, hard working black man. He is the father of my children. We split up because our son died and we didn't grieve together. For me there is nothing sexier than a hot, black man with a streak of confidence a mile wide running through him. For me this is fantasy: nothing more, nothing less. My fantasy man is tall, white, "high flying" and sexually submissive. I don't deviate from that as that's what I like. If I were vague and ambiguous it would waste time. Oh, my current partner is white and can't pronounce "sub!" There are racist, narrow minded people on site for sure but you can generally tell those that are by the tone overall of their profile. | |||

"I'm probably going to offend every race, left right and centre with this comment, but I'll add it's just my observation and I'm fully open to people having had different experiences. I think generally there is more racism in the UK towards the Asian population than there is towards the black population. I think it's more ingrained, more accepted, and more deeply felt than any other kind of racism we have. I think the stereotypes here are mostly around Asian men and include things like lazy, unclean, smelly, unlikely to be an achiever unless they are a doctor, and selfish. These stereotypes expand to the fact that there are many Asian communities in the UK, where "people are being pushed out of their own neighbourhood", this is without getting into the insecurities people have with not being able to understand Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, or whatever language is being spoken in front of them. I also don't think it's talked about in polite circles, but everyone's heard the whispers, and many have never bothered to challenge them, because it's "just a giggle", or because they actually believe the stereotypes to be true. So yes, I think there is a great deal of stereotyping and racism in play in the UK towards the Asian population. Sadly I think it's that really lamentable kind of racism where people aren't even aware that they are doing it. So yes, your miles may vary, but in my experience the UK has a lot of catching up to do in attitudes." Nailed it. | |||

"I think it has more to do with integration.... Indians generally integrate well into the British way of life and are less shackled by religion. Pakistanis generally adhere to cultural/ religious beliefs WHEN at home with their families, they throw all this out of the window when dating on FAB etc. Also, they have very little respect for women, consider them as objects to be used etc Before anyone jumps up and down the above are my beliefs, you don't have to like/ believe them.

" In my experience people who talk alot about integration into "british" society and generalise the beliefs of certain minority groups like Pakistanis are generally very racist, even when they claim not to be. But obviously this is just based on my experience of racists and I find the best way to judge people is to go by my expirience and generalise that over a whole group of people. I need to catagorise racists somehow and please that it's just a personal preference and obviously nobody can take offence to that.... | |||

"To the OP, what about the Spanish in America. I don't see any predujice or stereotyping of Spanish or Hispanic peaple here in British swingers. I have felt racism in the past outside of fab. Once mistaken for asian. Still not nice to be on the receiving end. One for being judged on the way I looked and the other for being tarnished by a stereotype of a religion or race. However, there are great people everywhere. Went to India and the people are awesome, welcoming and hard workers." In America if you live in the big cities. You will find a more open minded population. Now in the south and Midwest they tend to have very conservative views | |||

Unfortunately a large percentage of the Asian guys we have met have just walked up to her and touched her without even a hello. She has been offered cash and been accused of racism after turning a guy down. So having had those bad experiences we are less likely to spend time to get to know an Asian guy. | |||

This maybe because as an asian woman who is a swinger you are going to be open minded, where as men could still be more culturally narrow minded and look down on white women as a play thing. I realise that some men will be open minded as well. They guy that accused Frisky of being racist, told us that his mates had told him he was gaurantteed to have sex with multiple women at the club. Obviously he had been lied to but his reply was that she was racist as we're the other women... Outside of swinging the men and women that marry people of other races and religions are obviously more likely to be open minded and less likely to follow cultural stereotypes. | |||

"I don't judge people by their skin colour or ethnic origin, if i fancy someone then i fancy them regardless. I am a little wary of Asian men though due to previous experiences outside the swinging world. I have been groped in public by a Pakistani neighbour, in front of his wife and children and my partner at the time. Didn't care what anyone thought, just copped a feel. Another occasion, only a couple of weeks ago, i was in the gym boxing training. An Asian man came in and went crazy when he saw me in the boxing ring. According to him i am a whore because i choose to exercise in tight clothing (yoga pants) and have no respect for myself and the boxing ring is no place for a woman i should be at home looking after a husband Its people like this that put women off meeting Asian men. A lot of Asians don't view women as equals and to some extent it is the norm to subjugate us. Women all over Asia and the middle east are seen as second class citizens. In India there are frequent cases of young women being raped and then forced to marry their attacker because nobody else will want her now she is impure. In Pakistan malala yousefzai was shot because she wanted to go to school and in Saudi Arabia it is illegal for women to drive or even leave the house without a male relative to escort them. Attitudes towards women are very much ingrained into Asian society and to some extent it does extend to British Asians too. Until these attitudes change Asian men will struggle to get meets with women" In the UK a white man in the name if Jimmy Saville raped so many young ladies. How are white men still getting meets? | |||

"See a lot of womens profiles stating there preferences, ie BBC etc etc Then they say 'No Asians' not racist, just not our thing.......rubbish!!! There is no need to even mention that on a profile, you don't have to meet people you don't want to.....so its irrelevant. Cries out racism if you need to mention it. " What an absolute load of bollox. Going by your logic, all any fab profile should say is "hello" and just forget about all the other preferences like age group, sexual orientation and likes. If we put age preferences on our profile, does that make us ageist to the folks outwith said preferences? Our profile states no black or asian men, why, because my Mrs does not find them attractive and quite frankly thats her perogative. So instead of recieving( and there were alot) of messeages from Blacks and Asians, to which we would always reply with thanks but no thanks. We decide to state it as our preference along with our many other ones. According to you however; we're a bit racist. Preferences are just that, preferences. They dont make us racist, they make us us. Are we bigoted for not looking for tv's? Do we offend anyone because we wont do bareback. No we dont, and the fact my Mrs does not find Blacks or Asian attractive is all that should beed to be said. | |||

"I'm probably going to offend every race, left right and centre with this comment, but I'll add it's just my observation and I'm fully open to people having had different experiences. I think generally there is more racism in the UK towards the Asian population than there is towards the black population. I think it's more ingrained, more accepted, and more deeply felt than any other kind of racism we have. I think the stereotypes here are mostly around Asian men and include things like lazy, unclean, smelly, unlikely to be an achiever unless they are a doctor, and selfish. These stereotypes expand to the fact that there are many Asian communities in the UK, where "people are being pushed out of their own neighbourhood", this is without getting into the insecurities people have with not being able to understand Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, or whatever language is being spoken in front of them. I also don't think it's talked about in polite circles, but everyone's heard the whispers, and many have never bothered to challenge them, because it's "just a giggle", or because they actually believe the stereotypes to be true. So yes, I think there is a great deal of stereotyping and racism in play in the UK towards the Asian population. Sadly I think it's that really lamentable kind of racism where people aren't even aware that they are doing it. So yes, your miles may vary, but in my experience the UK has a lot of catching up to do in attitudes. I agree with this comment, having worked in the courier industry were there is a lot of Asians. Hear them bragging of their white women, whilst their good Asian wives at home looking after the family. Also the " grooming" of girls in Burnley, Rochdale, Bradford in the press didn't help. Sorry if I also offended people on here, but that is how it is outside of the Fab bubble The grooming is predominantly Muslim and white guys ...why put all asians in the same category??? Being generically categorised as "asian" and being associated to the ppl grooming etc is insulting to other faiths and they resent the generalisation just because you have Brown skin" The grooming is mostly Muslim??!! Really what about the white Catholic priests?! | |||

"Wow I'm surprised by some of the responses. In America Asian/middle eastern kids are Americans. They still are religious at home but are as American as apple pie and baseball at school and in public... I'm surprised when they came to the Uk they didn't become British.. " I'm confused by this whole English women are racist and American women aren't and they love Asians. Trump isn't far away from being elected whilst the majority of the U.K. Hate ukip and the BNP. Seems to me like a big part of America hates Muslims and want to kick them out/stop them getting in whilst the UK thinks this is bollocks and have no real issue with immigration. Think it's a bit much to say that English women discriminate against Asian men based on your opinion of how well they do on here. Out of interest; what are you even basing this on? Have you counted how many meets all the Asian men have had V how many meets all the English, French, Spanish, American, Australian, Canadian, Welsh, Mexican, Greek, and Irish men? | |||

"I live in Manhattan and I see Asian men with hot girls daily. Go to any night club and you will see Asian guys with hot girls and lots of alcohol flowing all night. Asians in America are usually high achievers . They are usually Doctors , Engineers , Pharmacist , IT professionals , and bankers. If you add a British Accent , they guys are like James Bond. Why are they struggling on Fab? " Because wealth and success hold fuck-all weight on Fab. So long as you're not an actual tramp. No one cares how much money you have. It's all about image. How many 6ft athletic asian men do you know? Exactly! In real life women lower their physical standards in exchange for financial security and/or social standing when looking for a long-term relationship. Men work the other way, they lower their standards for one-night stands or casual flings, but like a trophy woman for a long-term relationship or marriage. | |||

"Here are my two latest experiences with Asian men over the last week. Man No 1: "I am mixed-race, my father is Brazilian, mum Trinidadian. Sends photo. Looks Asian. When pushed tells me all of his family are West Indian Indian. If you are ashamed of your roots, maybe even you think there is something wrong with them? Man No. 2. Told me he was mix-race. One of the grandparents is Indian - OK, fine, I think. He has clearly read my profile so knows my preferences. We arrange to meet up. I ask for a photo of his face. Of course he has a job that means he cannot post photos on Fab. What does he think I do to put food in my children's mouths?! I ask him to send it by WhatsApp. Says he will but never does. Adamant he is not Asian when asked but still no photo. Blocked after 3 days of promising and not sending it. Again, if you do not like where you come from, why should others?" Good point | |||

"Because most of fab is in the UK and they don't have the same image here? That's what boggles my mind... I never heard of Asian men being discriminated against until I came to fab.... As an American living in the UK, I guess I would just say it's a cultural thing. You do know the difference between American Asian and British Asian, though, right? That shit confused the hell out of me for a good two months Yes in America.. Asian = Chinese, Korean, Japanese In the UK Asian = Pakistani , Indian , Sri Lankan... It took me awhile to understand this. I have 3 Indian friends and all of them married white women. I can't see why the Brits who have had Indians living in the UK for 100+ years are more discriminatory than Americans. " What and with you saying that do you really think that will get you the response you want well only responce I have to that is I think you have issues with us in the UK | |||

" I'd like to hear more about this one.

It is essentially a hook-up app and not really geared towards long-term relationship finding. However a significant quantity of people use it to try and find long term partners. I am far from being a physical or aesthetic ideal, as such I rarely, if ever, match with women looking for hook-ups or casual fun (with exception of the attention seeking 'match with everyone to see how many guys want me' attention whores). I always get the ones stating they are 'not after fun', ie they are looking for something long-term. My employment status is fairly obvious and I am in a reasonably well-paid job with excellent job security, in other words I'm financially safe and sorted, although not mega-wealthy, a good meal-ticket. | |||

" Everyone's judgement is clouded by their experiences, sure. I am not that highly paid, but doing fine. Also, not materialistic, so not bothered about such things as a fancy house, car, etc." I'm not on about materialistic people who want the uber-wealthy, with big house and fancy cars and all the rest of it. I'm on about the ones scraping an income and seeing marriage to someone in a profession such as mine as a way out of that life-style. With the added bonus that because I work away a lot they are still free to 'enjoy' the more attractive men in the area. I have plenty of colleagues where this has been the case for them... I'm well aware there are plenty who pay their equal share, even when the incomes are far from equal. | |||

Women meeting up with a man on the fish site doesn't mean she wants any type of relationship with him as most women would know such a relationship, not build on any substance, wouldn't last. I think anyone looking for a relationship is looking for a connection and depth, nothing money can buy. I have had harder financial times, when my children were younger, but I just dug deeper and did it myself. That's the reality for women out there, hence many would prefer to stay single, especially with kids, even though its a struggle .... until the right person comes along | |||

However a quick trip to a music festival and my eyes are opened to a whole different world, where it seems like not doing drugs is the unusual behaviour... Have a look on that fishing website.

I think anyone looking for a relationship is looking for a connection and depth, nothing money can buy. I have had harder financial times, when my children were younger, but I just dug deeper and did it myself. That's the reality for women out there, hence many would prefer to stay single, especially with kids, even though its a struggle .... until the right person comes along" | |||
