Dating Asian Women

Dating Asian WomenLook on any adult websites – they all feature Asian women, because they know how popular Asian fetishes are. You know who else knows this? Asian women. The first thing you need to know about dating Asian women is that you need to take race out of the equation. They are human just like you.

This article will guide you on dating Asian women, and show you the do’s and dont’s as well as where to meet Asian women, such as an online Asian dating service.

First Lesson – Never say that you “have an Asian fetish” or “I love Asian girls” or “I have yellow fever” or anything that classifies them immediately by their race. This is probably their number one pet peeve!

Second Lesson – Stop assuming that they are demure and sexually available to fulfill your “geisha fantasies.” There is this widespread stereotype that’s mostly been portrayed by the cinema, that Asian women are passive, submissive objects. This is 2010, not 1010. They are not objects. Dating Asian women should be the same for you as if you were dating a white, black, green or red woman. In fact, even though an Asian woman may appear demure or passive on the surface, they are often quite sexually aggressive when they are comfortable with you. And often quite aggressive in general in relationships!

Third Lesson – If you want to be out there dating Asian women, learn to be able to identify their particular ethnicity or don’t say anything about it at all! Sometimes you can get this by their last name, facial features, or accent if they have one. But don’t rely on this totally. If you’re not certain,don’t guess! It is better to not bring the subject up at all. They are so used to this screw up by non-Asian men, that it will be such a relief to them when you don’t do it! And by the way – ASIAN is NOT an ethnicity!

The Family Life – For many Asian women, especially ones from “traditional” families, it is often enforced upon them to only date men of their own ethnicity. Of course, this can work to your advantage, because women whether they be Asian or non-Asian like to rebel against their families and societal pressures. So use this “forbiddeness” to your advantage!

My experience has been that often Chinese, Japanese, and Korean women prefer Anglo white men (light hair, light eyes) whereas Vietnamese and Filipino women often prefer Latin or Mediterranean men (dark hair, dark eyes). Of course we are all individuals and these generalities will not hold for everyone. However with any form of dating, it’s a numbers game. In other words, put yourself in the best possible scenarios to attract Asian women and play the numbers.

An Asian online dating service or Asian dating web site are going to be the best places to play these numbers. There are a ton of Asian dating sites!

The Three Khans Of Hindi Cinema!

The Three Khans Of Hindi Cinema!Hindi film industry is headquartered in Mumbai (earlier Bombay) and so Bollywood was coined to represent it. Essentially, Bollywood signifies mainstream Hindi cinema which holds absolute sway over the whole of India and in recent times there has been a huge boost in overseas earnings thanks basically to the marketing efforts by the three Khans. Your knowledge of Hindi cinema is incomplete without the three Khans.

It could be a historical quirk that all the three Khans were born in 1965-Aamir in March, Shahrukh in November and Salman in December of the same year. Aamir and Salman or Salman and Shahrukh had been paired in films, but fans are yet to behold an Aamir and Shahrukh combination.

Aamir Khan is the perfectionist among the three. He does just one film at a time and is very particular about doing extensive research so that he fits the role. In any production he applies significant command over the proceedings. He has the least number of movies compared to the other two.

Aamir made his debut as a hero in 1988 for the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (From Disaster to Disaster) and got his first National Award for that movie. He went on to win four Awards along with eight nominations for National and Filmfare (Top Indian Movie Magazine) awards later in his career. Committed to good cinema Aamir formed his own company, Aamir Khan Productions, and launched its first offer Lagaan (Once Upon a Time in India) in 2001 which got an Oscar Nomination for the Best Foreign Film category. His Ghajini (name of the main villain in the movie) was the biggest grosser of the year 2008. His latest offbeat movieDelhi Belly did good business apart from shocking and scandalizing many of conservative India.

Salman Khan is the most temperamental and unpredictable one of the three. With no inclination to turn producer-director so far Salman has done more than hundred movies-the maximum of the three Khans. He debuted as a romantic hero in Maine Pyar Kiya (I Fell in Love) which was the biggest hit of 1989 and one of the major successes of the eighties. For this film he won a Filmfare award for the best male debut. Salman went on to win two more Filmfare awards in his career.

Though Salman Khan won hearts as a romantic hero initially, in the later years he began to concentrate on building his body and transformed gradually into a crowd-pulling action hero. Movie buffs craved to see him tearing off his shirt which he does regularly nowadays and makes pasta of villains. He also launched himself in television mainly to market his big releases. In just more than a year he delivered three record-breaking hits– Dabangg(Fearless, 2010), Ready (2011) and Bodyguard (2011).

Shahrukh Khan is the most vivacious, restless and energetic of the three Khans. He had found instant rapport with the audience as a next-door boy first in his television serials in the late eighties. Unlike the other two he did not belong to a film family. Immediately noticed for his good work in the serials and signed in Shahrukh made his debut as a romantic hero inDeewana (Passionate or Crazy, 1992). He went on to win fourteen Filmfare awards out of which eight were for Best Actor which is a record. He is masterful in all genres-romantic, comedy and action and his staccato dialogue delivery style is always craved by the fans.

Cinema – The True Reflector Of Society

Cinema - The True Reflector Of Society“A cinema stands for humanism, tolerance, for reason, for progress, for adventures of ideas and for the search of communal truth and reflects social aspects.” The earliest film of the world presented on screen named “La sortie des quvriers de l’usine Lumiere” is a true reflector of a factual story that happened in Paris which was directed by Lumiere Bros. The cinema in the world has remained a myth, inspite of the fact of reflecting the society, a stage came to film makers overcome the barrier by taking the trouble to match cinema stories close to society. “Cinemas in a community are like windows which look out on broader, richer & deeper things of life.”

As all oriental societies, the Indian society too has been nourished on societal facts from mythology. Extracts from mythology closely related to happenings of society provide enough opportunities for the audience to exercise their originality, imagination & fantasy.

Great pioneer personalities such as Jamshadji Madan also took certain historical facts of society while making cinemas which had already audience. “World War II” a great movie with excellent momentum started to emerge as genre particularly on the subjects culture, heritage of the society of that times. Every community of the world has got its own peculiar social traditions, which denotes psychological makeup, social concepts and made of social behavior which are captured and explored by cinemas through out world. Many cinemas use past great political personalities for raising their momentum. “Alluri Sita Rama Raju” a film by super star Krishna was made to release in more than 100 countries with different languages gives a conducive personality who sacrificed his life in achieving independence reflects Indian societal scene. Relevance of many great scholastic people’s thoughts today is coming true through the world of cinema that reflects ancient & modern societal facts. “Cinema must alternate between revolution and consolidation; it is the function of society to supply this dynamic element.” The cinema such as “Titanic” which has its record in wreckage of ship is also a social & accidental phenomena. World’s least expensive film named “The shattered illusion” is also a natural phenomena of the society that includes spectacular scenes of ship being overwhelmed by a storm that took place near Victorial islands practically. Bollywood cinema such as “Mangal Pandae”, Ameerkhan as hero reflects the social, cultural, spiritual, communal aspects of Hindu mythology before Indian Independence.

 

World Cinema – Cinema From Around the Globe

World Cinema - Cinema From Around the GlobeGoing back some years, the only viewers for foreign films were the same who lined up to see the latest Jean Luc Godard, or Michelangelo Antonioni, or Akira Kurosawa. Foreign films became less appealing to audiences as the practices and themes of the French New Wave and other “foreign” schools were taken up by American directors, and several of the foreign filmmakers who made an impact, ended up in Hollywood. But are we saying there are no works of genius to see today? Surely not!

If works by Antonioni, Bergman, Fellini, Godard, Renoir, and Truffaut – are timeless today, masterworks by present day filmmakers such as Wong Kar Wai, Almodovar, Kiarostami, Ki-Duk-Kim, Majidi, and Del Toro, amongst many others, are just as winning and will be just as timeless tomorrow. Their films are not necessarily suffused with the kind of skepticism that formed the crux of the films that were released in the 60′s – when people dashed in to see iconic films such as La Dolce Vita, Yojimbo and Shoot the Piano Player. World cinema today is a phenomenon that hardly conforms to the definitions set by the predecessors of the genre. Take movies such as Amelie, In the Mood for Love, Pan’s Labyrinth, Y tu Mama Tambien, All About my Mother – all these are artistic and lucid films that are permeated with humane subjects such as life, love, death, identity and solidarity.

Watching these films can be an experience of reflection – you watch these with some thought rather than just taking them in. And of course they’re great entertainment (as much as you might like to believe they’re serious, uninteresting, mind numbing etc etc). Most of all, it is their artistic value that stands as superior, and the diverse cultures they represent make them a lot more interesting than Hollywood offerings. Even commercial foreign films are a lot more interesting owing to the knowledge they impart to us about the culture and background that made them.

While there is a deficiency in media and critical interest in foreign titles, there are few websites that are dedicated to movie reviews to find a foreign film that you may enjoy. Read reviews, pay attention, look at ratings and watch a preview of the movie before you decide to rent it out from a video store (quite a few of them have a shelf or two dedicated to foreign language films), or download it off the internet after having made your own judgment. Take my word on this – like it or not, you will be amazed by the insight these films will give you into the culture and life of another land.
