People with which cultural background do you consider the most attractive?

I won't mention which article brought this topic to my mind. Some might guess it but I won't spell it out.

I am not that experienced. But I was in one short relationship and dated some women. I am not sure how to describe German women. I rather can say that I dated a women with different mental conditions.

Though, I use dating apps. And there isn't a particular nationality I am interested in. I can remember when I was a teenager. There was a site that coupled German with Japanese people. I spent some time on it to read about these exchanges. But I think I never created an account. I was interested in having a Japanese girlfriend or to move to Japan. Now I think that long-distance relationships often don't work.

On dating apps I see women from different cultures. These are stereotpyes and don't apply to every single one. But I got the following feeling.
Brazilian women seem to have some temperament. Russian women seem to be more traditional (I think many German men are interested in East European women not me though). There are Asian women often ambitious and not much politically interested. I am not sure how to describe American women. But you often can tell they are Americans by the way they design their profile, the language, the outfits, the cultural references. I could only describe them with the term IT girl. Even though the term is outdated. British women also have a certain style.


Maybe this text contains a lot of generalizations. Maybe only the women stick to my mind that fulfilled typical cultural stereotypes. I am not saying all women of that country are like that. But being attracted to someone has also to do with a certain projection of one's own feelings towards a different person. And some cultures seem to align with one's own values and interests more.

I went through the color palette (so to speak) and I would say, my experience has been that Indian and Arab women are the hardest to date due to their culture.
America changes FOB woman. I've seen it.

My first love was South-East Asian. I was very young and clueless, as well as still undergoing puberty, which made it a very psychologically formative experience both romantically and sexually. I get both sad and happy when exposed to SEA culture. It feels like a melancholically warm thing, because it's just a subconscious association I can't escape. In general, younger people I've met from those backgrounds haven't been strongly politically or socially inclined just like you say, which is always a huge plus for me. I think that growing up under strongly authoritarian power structures, which are very common over there to my understanding, makes people realize their negative traits and inadequacies.

I really dislike Western European/North American culture. I find that people raised in those environments place a lot of emphasis on material luxuries and social status, as well as being highly idealistic and morally passionate. This leads to a lot of conflict, as I am a strong adherent to moral relativism. I refuse to praise or condemn anything as good or bad, no matter how virtuous or atrocious it is (with the exception being when I am trying to be polite to someone, but this is just me putting on a social performance for instrumental purposes). I live by this philosophy, and thus I am described as "cold" and "insensitive", because people like when my indifference aligns with theirs, but dislike when it doesn't. This has an incidental side effect where I can get along very well with people from all ideologies and walks of life, but I can only truly be friends with a very specific type of person.

Middle Eastern and Western Asian cultures I dislike for the reason that they tend to place too much emphasis and importance on concepts of honor and dignity for my liking; if they don't, then there's always the other extreme end of pleasure-seeking hedonism and hierarchical dominance. One feels like stuck-up superficiality and moral masturbation, the other feels like animal thinking and ego corruption.

My own culture, Eastern European, is tolerable and feels relatively 'normal', but I do have qualms with the fact that the people here tend to be a bit too simple-minded and superstitious-- it's either this, or a certain jadedness and bitter self-interest that leaves people quick to complain and whine. The youth, meanwhile, are very affected by Western cultural standards seeing as they grow up addicted to social media (predominantly used by Americans), so what I said about those also applies here, with the added traits of general teenage insecurities and frivolous cravings.

I believe that a person is not defined by their cultural background, and it should be one of the last things to judge when it comes to forming relationships. It is extremely possible for somebody to defy all the typical norms of their culture (case in point: myself). But that is rare, and there is no denying that people are more likely to hold certain psychological traits and beliefs if they come from a particular region in the world. We human beings are helplessly shaped and nurtured into what we are by our environment.
