Dating Tips for Grown Ass Women: Part 8

Race shouldn’t be a requirement.

I used to think that it was super important, to be with another Asian-American person…more specifically someone who was also JUNGLE Asian (Cambodian, Laotion or Emotion).

What’s great about dating someone of your own race, is that you can go home, and be racist together. And isn’t that true love? When you can go home and just say whatever you want?

Getting romantical with someone outside of the race, requires that you explain a lot of basic concepts, such as:

-The Costco coupon book is the most exciting thing ever to come in the mail

-Cheese and crackers is not a snack

-My mom dries her underwear in the shower

-Bun Bo Hue all day every day

-I never buy anything full price because I’ve been to CHINA

But it’s nice when you don’t have to explain to a dood, how to treat you well. Because if he doesn’t get that basic concept, then you’ll get really tired of telling him over and over how to do it.

Kevin Shea once told me that he has two requirements of a woman: that they have a connection and that he’s attracted to her. It sounds simple, but to find a person who fully embodies those qualities, is extremely difficult. So don’t make it more difficult, by limiting yourself to one race.
