A man, usually Caucasian, who has a sexual preference for Asian men. This term can either be an insult or a joke, depending on the context. As an insult, it can be used as a derogatory moniker applied to someone that is seen as predatory or socially disquieting. This individual is more often older, overweight, or ugly as homemade sin; his interest in the young asian male is seen as vaguely pedophilic, owing to the fact that many asian men have very little body hair and slight builds. This individual's interest is met with the same social stigma as men who seek out Asian females; this behavior is often referred to as an Asian "Fetish".
This term can also be used playfully, or as a joke among friends. An attractive or young man can get away with consistently dating Asians; he may identify himself as a Rice Queen or accept the moniker from others. His attraction is seen as less of a character flaw than an idiosyncrasy.
Quick Guide to Dating Asian Males
- If you are dating someone who is fairly Americanized, realize that more likely than not, he feels like doesn't belong in either a group of Gay men or a group of Asians. Being sensitive to these small nuances will help you be a better boyfriend/lover/fuckbuddy etc.
- Some Gay Asians look upon dating a White Man as one of the worst sins imaginable. They will roll their eyes at you behind their ridiculously large Chanel sunglasses. Your partner is more likely to be more sensitive to this treatment. Deal with their disdain like an adult and you will win bonus points.
- Calling him a potato queen is dangerous territory. Tread lightly.
- If you are dealing with someone who has spent most of their lives in Asia, the rules are a little bit different. Be ready to pick up on some very subtle hints that he is interested.
- It isn't just a language barrier. It is a whole different way of evaluating relationships. He may be VERY into you, and you think he's blowing you off. A guy I thought had broken up with me sent me an angry e-mail once. He thought I didn't like him anymore and couldn't understand why I hadn't seen him in a week.
- Take some time to learn about his homeland. It is only polite.
- Bring your own Shampoo if you are staying over at his house. More than likely his hair is different than yours and requires a special type of shampoo.
- Tell him about your family. Ask about his.
- Have fun. Fall in love.
