I met many asian girls either from japan and cina, cant really say if they are submissive or not but I can tell for sure that you can tell by gut that the amount of sh1t you get from them is not comparable to most western girls.
Its not that they are manipulatin as an afc which pretends to be nice to a girl, they tend to be genuinely like that, I dont think many of them ever seen in their family or social life women abusing men or pissing them off and braggin about it, its probably something alien to them as much as shouting silence and expecting it to a bratty girl is to an american man.
