Approximately 0% of the Asian girls I know IRL enjoy anime or have even watched a non-Cartoon Network anime in the last decade or longer. The ones I find on OKC and other place that do enjoy it are insufferable nerd queen bees because weebs worship the ground they walk on and I bet it's hard to turn down that kind of unwavering adulation and deference.

The whole "women don't date Asian men" thing seems weird though. Why is that?

Not enough rugged, chiseled bad rear end dudes in movies that are Asian.

i stopped including that i'm white+asian/mixed race on dating sites in favor of just listing as white because it made it basically impossible to get dates, now i just hope they don't ask about my eyes or slightly tinted skin so i can avoid the conversation altogether

It might be that more Asian men resort to online dating so there's kind of a surplus of them. Maybe traditional culture values influence the amount of soft spoken Asian dudes.

In my experience as an ABC I've found that women are way more receptive to you in real life than on the internet. Honestly if you're Asian you might as well just stick to joining book clubs and going to Yoga classes because otherwise you're gonna be a face in a sea of other Asians.

I've heard a similar phenomena is going on in the gay dating community where people don't want twinky, feminine asian males.

I always thought it had more to do with the fact that Asian men are shorter, on average, and height is an important factor in the American dating scene, at least for men. I'm usually a bit surprised when I see a couple where the woman is noticeably taller, I've found it to be pretty rare.

Blame helicopter moms. In China it's probably worse since the one child policy probably hosed up all sorts of people since every male child had all the pressure of living to expectations. Speaking as an only child to Chinese parents, the cultural impulse to defer to parental guidance is very strong.

I dated a white girl who was the most insufferable Weeaboo ever and on one date she berated me for wanting to name a hypothetical child using common American names - all her names were Japanese. It was so loving racist but I make bad decisions in life and huge tits were more important than my dignity for a while.

I think you're years ahead of me in the online dating game and if that's what you say I'm probably going to defer to you. That said, its very difficult to meet single women if you're in a room filled with 95% men. IE Magic the Gathering Tournaments.

That sounds kind of appealing, though I'm a sperg but I'd never date a geeky guy. Nope. Sounds like a great way to get a couple of free dinners or gifts though. Where can I find these losers?

Weirdly enough, I see the opposite with Latina women. There are a lot of them where I live and tons of them put that they prefer not to date Latino men in their profiles. I asked about it on a date once and she said that Latino dudes have too much machismo and were often assholes. It all seems silly to me.

From what I have read South America has something of a "yes means yes and no means maybe" culture worse than even the US, so dudes can get really aggressive when chasing a lady. Whether that fully translates out of the continent I don't really know, but I can see shades of it come through

Based on my Comic-Con experience this year, the only restaurants these guys eat at is poo poo places like Buca di Beppo. Hope you enjoy all 5 pounds of pasta you'll receive.
