Speaking of China’s Top 5 Monday Posts of 2013

It’s the last Monday of 2013, nearly New Year’s Eve, and time for me to announce the top 5 Monday posts for 2013!

Before I unveil them, don’t forget…if you like the site, you can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Weibo and Pinterest (at the latter, I maintain a growing board of photos of couples of Chinese men and Western women).

Here they are, starting with number five:

#5: We’re Going Home — To China

This announcement of our homecoming to China attracted your attention — and quite a few pageviews!

#4: “Why Us?”: More on Discrimination and Marriage to a Chinese Man

John and I faced some challenges this year, and in an attempt to find meaning in our circumstances, I asked myself a certain question.

#3: Love or Fetish? On “Yellow Fever” and Creepy/Sketchy Attractions

An online discussion about the idea of “yellow fever” ultimately inspired this post — and a lot of comments from readers like you!

#2: On Dating Chinese Men — Or Why You Shouldn’t Judge After Only One Date

When I discovered a highly ranked post for the search term “dating Chinese men” that was written based on the author’s one and only one date with a fellow, I decided it was time to provide a more balanced view on the Internet and wrote this post with the search term in the title. I also encouraged other bloggers to do the same and they did. I’m now pleased to report that anyone who searches for “dating Chinese men” will find a plethora of positive posts on the subject — and might just change a few minds in the future.

#1: Why Aren’t We Talking More About The Rarity of AMWF?

Also inspired by the online discussion regarding “yellow fever”, one of the commentators posed this provocative question — and led me to blog about it.
