My Asian Persuasion Turned Procrastination.

There has always been something that's knocked around inside my head. I've always wanted to know if young (20's) Australian-ized Asian guys were into wog chicks. (For all you people who don't know what a wog is.. It's someone of European/Ethnic origin). I often see Asian girls dating other nationalities but I rarely see an Asian guy with a girl of a different race.

My own history so far is so, so bad. Majority rules that Asian guys don't find wog chicks attractive. I'm not talking about wog chicks though, I'm talking about myself. I find some Asian guys incredibly attractive but have never bothered pursuing one. Oh wait, not true. I used to hang out with this guy who was half Asian. He was tall, solid body, crazy hairstyles, definitely Asian facial features and the nicest smile out. We kissed once and then went back to just flirting. He doesn't really count in my opinion because he was more Aussie than most Aussies.

Anyway, my success rate has been slim to none, as you can see. Speaking of slim, it doesn't help my cause that most Asian guys are a naturally skinny build. Some are TINY and obviously, I am not so toothpick-ish. Even if I had 1% body fat, my chest would still come around the corner 5 minutes before me and my butt is always staring in the front yard of a house that is three houses behind me. I'm an hourglass shape and I'm carrying a few extra kgs at the moment so dating a skinny guy would feel like he was Olive Oil and I was Popeye and that just ain't right in my eyes.

The reason I'm mentioning all of this is because I was in the city on Friday night, walking along, trying to get my phone to work when it happened...

SUCCESS.

This good looking Asian guy around 25 looked me up, then down, then up again. He smiled, slowed his step, turned to talk to me and .. I turned into the closest store on my left and started browsing at the posters on the wall.

FAIL ANASTASIA, FAIL.

Fair enough I was on my way to a friend date but really?! Like really?! This has been a mission my whole adult life yet the first time a random Asian guy off the street is about to speak to me, I freak it and bail?

I should slap myself. No, YOU should slap me.

At the time I wasn't worried that I turned into the stairway of a peepshow. I also wasn't worried that the poster I was staring at was actually a picture of a naked man with his privates covered by a big yellow arrow pointing you downstairs for a ladies-only peepshow.

Great, there goes my second chance in case I ever come across him again.

Ugh. As much as I'd love to be approached by an Asian guy, I think the fear of the unknown just got to me. What if he had a really strong accent I couldn't understand? What if he was just asking for directions? What if he actually liked me? What if he stole my bag? =\

No matter what nationality he was, my chicken shit brain would have made excuses and forced my body in the opposite direction to the fast approaching hottie.

Just because I can't rewind the moment, doesn't mean we all can't learn from my mistakes.

Here is what I should have done.

Casually swept my fringe out of my face while tugging down my skirt just slightly (my skirts always hike up an inch or two when I'm walking (damn bum), cleared my throat really quickly (and quietly) and most importantly I should have cleared my mind and smiled.

If I had of done those things, I could have had two dates this weekend rather than one.

The only positive thing I can take away from that experience is - I still got it ;)

Haha.

Until my next disastrous post,
Peace.

Fantastian = Fantastic + Asian.

I love Asian things. 

I love the food, the fact they bedazzle anything they can get their hands on, the Hello Kitty obsession, the awesome toys, clothes, the technology/gadgets, hair styles, jewelery, photobooths and makeup. 

I even love their fake eyelashes..! 

It's just a huge obsession for me that I didn't really know I had until recently. It became really obvious that I am really into the Asian scene when I found blogs of Asian models, I think they were Japanese and they were freakin hot! They always had perfect airbrushed makeup, always a different hair colour and always wearing a weird but awesome outfit. 

I literally sat there for hours just looking through their photos and saving photo, upon photo, upon photo. Talk about inspiration!! 

I can't wait to move to Italy because I know there will be some fantastic Asian stores in the UK (which is only a half hour plane ride away). I just hope I feel more comfortable walking into Asian fashion stores in the UK, than I do in Australia. 

I dunno why I feel so nervous when I go there. I just feel like they are always judging me. I feel like they are talking about me or saying I'm a try hard and it eventually gets me so paranoid that I end up leaving within 2 minutes! Even leaving doesn't feel like an option sometimes because that makes me think that if I leave without buying something, they are going to say I'm a tightass or a poser/time waster. 

To get rid of this paranoid delusional state, I've come to the conclusion that I need to learn some Asian phrases. Not enough to walk up to someone and have a full blown conversation but enough that I know certain keywords that will either make me feel comfortable (less stress) because I know they are talking about a tv show or a cheating boyfriend OR I'll know they are in fact bad mouthing me so I can give them an evil look and walk out haha. 

I know it sounds stupid and I shouldn't care but it gets to me.  

I also know there are a lot of different Asian languages but I'd like to at least give it a try.

Can anyone help me with this? 

If you are of Asian descent, don't take offense to this post and please don't interpret this as a racism issue. It's just me being paranoid and curious. 

PS - If any Asian chicks are in fact reading, why do you have to be so damn intimidating?! =p
