The “charisma Man” Syndrome: Why Western Men Are Treated Like Alpha Males In Asia　   by David Carnes

It’s one of the world’s better-kept secrets. I can personally confirm that the phenomenon I am about to describe is almost unknown among North Americans. So if you are reading this in Asia, don’t tell anybody back home. Western guys, if you go anywhere in Asia except for Hong Kong, you might as well have a leather jacket issued to you as soon as you step off the plane, because you are the Fonz. By “Western” I mean from North America, Europe, Australia or New Zealand. Welcome to Alpha Male status.

The first thing you will notice are dweeby-looking Western men with calculators in their pockets walking arm-in-arm with Asian women that look like supermodels. These women are girlfriends, not prostitutes (I call it the “Charisma Man Syndrome”). After a couple of weeks your friends back home are going to start asking why you cancelled your return flight. A couple of decades later they’ll still be asking you the same question.

There are several theories on why this is the case; let’s explore them one by one:

1. Complex historical, sociological and anthropological reasons.

Gimme a break. Actually this was the topic of at least one Ph.D. thesis but hey, we’re not in the ivory tower anymore. Do you really think some Chinese woman ponders the Opium War before she decides whether or not to accept a date request from her British English teacher?

2. They want your money.

It stands to reason doesn’t it? Most Asian countries are poor, and most Western countries aren’t. What blows this theory out of the water is the fact that, if anything, this phenomenon is even more pronounced in Japan, where (relatively) poverty-stricken English teachers date Japanese fashion models that make five times as much as they do.

3. They want a Western passport.

Well, marriage to a Westerner is indeed the quickest, surest route to a Western passport. And more than one Westerner has been left weeping bitterly in the Arrival Lounge when his new Asian wife climbed out the window of the airport Ladies’ Room to freedom. But then again there’s the counterexample of affluent Japan, where not all that many local women are seeking Western passports but still flock to Western men.

By the way, since Western women are generally not interested in Asian men and since Western men in Asia are usually busy with Asian women, single Western women living in Asia tend to be a lonely lot. And they are NOT happy about it. The “passport motivation” is their favorite explanation.

4. They want free English lessons

Yeah, but why do they wanna learn English in the first place? So they can talk to Western guys? Plus, my extensive research has shown that accomplished Western Language Nerds who refuse to speak any English in favor of the local language do just as well as (if not better than) starry-eyed Asia Greenies fresh out of the airport.

5. It’s a status symbol in Asia to have a Western boyfriend

Yeah, and it’s a status symbol in Spain to have a matador boyfriend. What a lame theory. It begs the question of why having a Western boyfriend became a status symbol in the first place. After all, it’s no status symbol in Australia to have, say, a Bolivian boyfriend.

Ahh, Madison Avenue…

6. Western guys are better looking

Not some of the ones I see. Then again, it is true that Asia is the only place in the world where I get told that I look like Brad Pitt – back home I’m more likely to be compared to Pee Wee Herman.

7. The grass is always greener on the other side…

So why aren’t women in the United States clawing each other’s eyes out for a Vietnamese boyfriend?

8. Asian men are somehow inadequate

As a male, I wouldn’t know about this. But I would be happy to hear from any interested females on this issue.

My next article will be entitled, “Why Western Women in Asia Hate Western Men and What You Can Do to Make It Worse”.

Wild Yam Root Chinese Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic (Dioscorea batatas; Shan yao) 1 lb: C $23.85 This is Starwest’s nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. The Chinese yam, called Shan Yao in Chinese herbalism, is a sweet soothing herb that stimulates the stomach and spleen and has a tonic effect on the lungs and kidneys. The tuber contains allantoin, a cell-proliferant that speeds the healing process. The root is an ingredient of ”The herb of eight ingredients”, traditionally prescribed in Chinese herbalism to treat hyperthyroidism, nephritis and diabetes. The Chinese yam is claimed to stimulate appetite and to be a remedy for chronic diarrhea, asthma, fatigue, uncontrollable or frequent urination, diabetes, and emotional instability. Used externally, proponents claim the Chinese yam can speed the healing of boils and abscesses. Herbalists also use it to treat colic because it is thought to relieve spasms. The tuber is cooked. It has a floury texture with a very pleasant flavour that is rather like a potato. The tubers can be boiled, baked, fried, mashed, grated and added to soups. They store well and for a long time, and can also be left in the ground and harvested as required in the winter. This is a top quality root crop, very suitable for use as a staple food. An arrowroot can be extracted from the root, though this is not as good at binding other foods as the starch from D. japonica. In East Indian traditional medicine, wild yam is used for sexual and hormonal problems. Chinese herbalists have long used the herb for rheumatism, asthma, and digestive and urinary complaints The roots of most, if not all, members of this genus, contains diosgenin. This is widely used in modern medicine in order to manufacture progesterone and other steroid drugs. These are used as contraceptives and in the treatment of various disorders of the genitary organs as well as in a host of other diseases such as asthma and arthritis. Mexican Wild Yam, the related Dioscorea mexicana, is the original source of diosgenin, the steroidal saponin used for contraceptive hormone manufacture. Wild yam is helpful with the nausea of pregnant women and dysmenorrhoea. Another compound, dioscoretine, has been shown to lower blood triglycerides and to raise HDL (‘good’) cholesterol. An extract of wild yam was found to have antioxidant properties. Grieve’s classic ‘A Modern Herbal’: ‘Much saponin has been found in the roots, and a substance improperly called dioscorein, obtained by precipitating the tincture with water.’ ‘Medicinal Action and Uses: Antispasmodic. Perhaps the best relief and promptest cure for bilious colic, especially helpful in the nausea of pregnant women. Valuable also in painful cholera morbus with cramps, neuralgic affections, spasmodic hiccough and spasmodic asthma.’ Dosage: ½ to 1 drachm of fluid extract. Dioscorein, ¼ to 4 grains.

Other common names: Chinese Foxglove, Shen di huang, Yellow Earth, Ti Huang Chiu Long used in China to heal many ailments and even as a tonic to prolong life, Rehmannia Root is becoming popular in the West as a blood refresher. It is often recommended to regulate deficient blood patterns, such as anemia, irregular menses, uterine and postpartum bleeding, pallor and light-headedness. Healthy blood is a good start for a better body. History: Rehmannia Root is a native of China and is one of the first species of the genus to be introduced and cultivated in the West.

Chinese Five Spice Powder 1 lb: K $13.77 This is Frontier’’s nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Chinese 5 spice is a blend of dry spices that originated in China. It contains the following spices, Cinnamon, fennel, cloves, star anise and white pepper. It is often used in the classic dish Peking Duck as a marinade. Chinese 5 spice is very pungent and has a strong flavor, so use it sparingly. It can also be added to sauces or sprinkled over deep fried wantons. http://www.pepperfool.com/recipes/appetizers/chinese_5spicewings.html: Chinese 5-spice Chicken Wings 3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14) 1 onion a 1 1/2-inch piece peeled fresh gingerroot 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably Kikkoman) 1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne or Thai Chile powder 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or to taste 1/2 cup cornstarch 6 cups vegetable oil Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. Coarsely chop onion and finely chop gingerroot. In a large sealable plastic bag combine onion, gingerroot, soy sauce, Sherry, five-spice powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add wings and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Turn bag until wings are completely coated. Marinate chicken wings in bag in a large bowl, chilled, turning bag once, 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer wings and marinade to a roasting pan or large shallow baking pan and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven 1 hour. Cool wings until they can be handled and drain in a colander, discarding marinade. Wings may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reduce temperature to 250°F. In a small serving bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons salt and pepper. Put cornstarch in a small bowl and dredge each wing, knocking off excess cornstarch and transferring to a shallow pan. In a 5- to 6-quart heavy kettle heat oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 370°F. Working in batches of 6 or 7, fry wings in oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep wings warm on a baking sheet in oven. Fry remaining wings in same manner, returning oil to 370°F. between batches. Serve wings with salt and pepper mixture. Serves 6 as an hors d”oeuvre or 4 as a main course. The two-pronged cooking method used for these wings incorporating both braising and deep-frying is a takeoff on the Chinese technique of steaming, then frying. We think it keeps the meat unbelievably tender while getting the skin supercrispy. Be sure to allow at least 2 hours for the wings to marinate. http://www.mexican.recipes-to-go.com/5_Spice_Tamales.html: 5 Spice Tamales Mexican Recipes need not be unhealthy, and can be included in a healthy diet.
