Visit Malaysia… The only country where you can try the different races.
That was a slogan spurring from yesterday dinner date.
Chinese is dating Malay. Malay is dating Indian. Indian is dating Caucasian. Caucasian is dating… and I haven’t even gone into the list of Portugese, Hispanic, etc.
Is there a preference among different races? I know some friends who don’t date Malay. Reason being that Malays or Muslims have pisang goreng (banana fritters) — being circumcised.
Of cos, there’s also the issue of religious conflict. Like a Chinese friend who’s in a relationship with a Malay guy. During puasa (fasting) month, he would try to accompany his bf in the 30-day fast. The practice sort of strengthen their foundation.
However I can’t say the same for myself — someone who eats like every other hour. The only time I’d fast was during Easter (no, I’m not a Christian; but was forced to do it), and that didn’t make a good impact on me. In fact I dislike the idea of fasting even since. The torment of not able to eat while everything you do reminds you of eating.
I haven’t date Indians before. What I see is many of them has ego issue — something I can’t stand. Being friends is fine, but anything beyond that egoism is out. But you know, there’s always the theory of Indians are great in bed!
Chinese… We do have communication problems too, well at least for me. There’s the dialect issue (I don’t speak any). And there’s the Chinese gungho mentality. The only factor that I date Chinese is because of familarity in culture.
I have yet to date a caucasian, but I shall reserve that option.
So… is race one of the shortlisting criteria for dating?
