Some of my Asian friends in med school had 2 separate Facebook accounts. A "clean" one specifically for their family and relatives and one for their friends.

Interesting enough, the black guys in my class, their families wanted them to only marry black girls. The black guys were popular with the girls in our class for other reasons though. :p

That's ridiculous. Your parents should've kept you both in India then.

The professional I know is married to someone of "lesser" status, but because he is a man HER family tells her to shut up and listen.

Nice. I was mostly being sarcastic about my sisters situation. My family for sure dislikes the guy for more reasons than just superficial ones- he's a real POS and super disrespectful to them.

Yes, its just that between my sister and I we've sort of done a lot of things that most "tradionally" minded Indian families would have had multiple MI's over. Also, my dad is super unlike most Indian parents in that hes really laid back, non temperamental, and thankfully recognizes that we live in 21st century America and not 19th century homeland.

My parents backed off a lot after I graduated and "made something of myself" and so now they leave me mostly alone.

I had to Urban Dictionary that one as I thought you were were referring to the definition I thought "throwing stacks of money", but no, actually definition #2.

Based on 1 freaking characteristic like religion (of which most young people aren't even that devout anyways).

yeah, he isnt really a practicing muslim. his parents are pretty low-key about it too. (obviously, or they would have had a major issue with yours truly)

Make Daddy mad? No, they wanted to have sex with them bc of the black men stereotype.

Right, so it's essentially a hullabaloo over nothing. Especially since they're not the ones that have to deal with the marriage on a day to day basis. Yet, if you had married Ark, then it would no longer be a "disgrace".

Really? Didn't know that. They had good relationships with their Dad - or they wouldn't be in med school - they'd be working the pole (stripper pole). No they wanted it bc of the other thing... (can't say due to not wanting to be banned)...

What I'm saying is that their Dads would disapprove if the dudes were brought home. In every relationship I've had with white women, that was the case. If it wasn't it meant that their Dad wasn't in their life. My ex who is at a top 20 med school funded by Daddy was threatened with being out of the trust, paying her own way etc..

And if it's for the stereotype, it gets old when women want to use you as an experiment.

Right, but its not MY parents or even any of my immediate family that cares. Its all these random third and fourth and god knows what else cousins who have too much money and too much time on their hands and so make it their job to gossip and create dramz from 15000 miles away via phone calls and emails to our parents.

Well they weren't just white women. But they weren't really interested in long-term relationships either. And they didn't just experiment - they kept going back again, and again, and again...

Good grief, then why do they care esp. if your parents and immediate family don't?!?!

Must be nice to have so much time available to delve so deeply in other people's personal lives on a consistent basis that don't affect them.

I think a lot of it is based in taboo. Not trying to brag but I get the response relating to what you were saying, but I think that the women have preconceived notions and kind of see/feel what they want to.

I guess it might have somewhat of a taboo tinge, but that wasn't the reason why they did it. It wasn't like they were racking notches on their gun belt just to be able to say they did it. As far as preconceived notions, the guys didn't do a good job in proving them false.

Oh my...:whoa:Well aren't you Mr. Popular. :D So then if it's confirmed, and they keep coming back for more then it's not really a taboo/preconceived notion coming into play.

Like I said, there's an element of confirmation bias in there.

If you gave Arkangeloid a billion the women would feel the same way about him.

Tiger Wood's women didn't receive any money for doing it with him. There may have been celebrity attraction, but there but they didn't receive money. I can almost guarantee Ark could have billion and women wouldn't feel the same way. You have to have skill.
 
Speaking of men of different backgrounds, Indian men are notorious womanizers who constantly cheat on their wives. Seriously I've met more sketchy Indian men than anything else that are like this.
