well first, I didn't write that article, I just found it and found it interesting. My personal belief is that it's still not socially acceptable to date and marry and asian man if you're not an asian woman. Especially living in the puritan based new england society.
You did not write that. Oh..... well....nevermind.

The author is a f*cking baby and needs to grow a pair. Maybe if he wasn't such a whiney bitch he'd have more luck with the ladies.

Most women are like most men, they have the same hangup about themselves as guys. Don't always feel like they are the prettiest girl in the room, etc. (there are always ego cases too)

Once you have that figured out you have no problem. You understand that they want to be liked, admired etc. as much as a guy would like attention from a girl. Smile at them, pay attention, be nice to them and they are happy to give the same back. If they don't, move on to the next one. Not a big deal.

I remember this time I asked a girl to dinner that I worked with. She had this look on her face like somebody just farted. No biggie, she was not at the top of my list anywho. Other times I have gone to the bar and have to beat the girls away with a stick. The point is, if you get shot down, don't take it personal and go feeling all crappy about yourself. It might happen a couple times in a row. Just keep trying and bingo, you have some babe spending all her time with you. If you get shot down a whole lot with no success, try to figure out what you are doing wrong.

Bad approach, 70's hair, smell like a yak, whatever. Can be fixed with a couple jokes, some cologne, a decent haircut, nice threads. Hell, I came out of highschool with a mullet back in the 80's. Barely got any dates. Got a decent hiarcut, some nice cologne, problem solved.

I doubt the lack of dates has ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEING ASIAN.


PS......women love three things, jewelry, shoes and chocolate. If you can make some chocolate shoes with diamonds on them and hand them out to women, they will be eating out of the palm of your hand. Conversly, if the ladies are not having any luck I guess it is what, beer filled implants????

I totally agree with vader1. I'm 100% SouthEast Asian (born there, raised here in the South) but I don't have a problem attracting any girls regardless of race because of the qualities he mentioned.

I read the entire article and can see where the guy is coming from but he really sounds like a bitter kid who needs to realize girls cannot appreciate what they cannot see and they especially hate saltiness. He must make some effort to show girls who he thinks he really is and free himself from all worries of this "curse". The phrase "Nice Guys Finish Last" is wrong and should be "Nice Guys Who Have Low Self-Esteem Finish Last".

On the other hand, guys like me don't have the blonde hair and the blue eyes and the ridiculous amount of body fur so we're not attractive to the sell-out, American-loving locals either. And yes, I am bitter about that.

Well actually dirty blonde, and blue-green eyed, but still Pretty Damned Furry!

that guy was a dork.. you could hear the dork in his voice. I am not Asian, and I am not white, so none of that rant included me. However, I will agree and partially disagree with Vader.

1. Grow some balls. Women don't want a pushover. They want someone that stands up for themselves and others when necessary. Being friendly and nice will get you so far, being edgy on top of that will get u further... No girl (initially) cares that you play the piano or got good grades in school, or that you love your grandma. Its all about how you look, how you present yourself, and how you make her feel (how you treat her).

2. Spending big money on haircuts, cologne and nice clothing gets you only so far. Personally, i think its dumber than shit. I used to bounce in clubs and i will tell you, I always saw people coming in with the hair all done, nice clothes on, good style, and weighing about 100lbs too much. If they spent some more time on their bodies, it wouldn't really matter what their hair looked like.

I think what some people will date is dependant on their environment. As I said before, I am not white or asian, yet, I would not expect any white girl from the south to be all that attracted to me, and I would not expect asian women in japan to be all that attracted to me. So I am not going to force the issue. However, growing up in Canada, I never saw the race card to be a big issue.
