You've probably never traveled to Asia. It varies significantly by country.

India has the 4th largest economy but we would have been #1 if partition never happened and India/Pakistan/Bangaldesh was one nation. Politicians are corrupted.

Women mostly love bad guys, you can read about that it's everywhere. And I have seen it from personal experience, I know this pretty looking young woman who's decently educated as well fall for a guy who used to work as a bouncer in a club and was very unstable to begin with just because he acted sweet and charming towards her. Guess what, they got married he got his Green card and eventually dumped her and moved on.

I am not saying all women are this way but most younger women love the vibe that a bad guy gives off, and being an educated desi you wouldn't ever give the same vibe so they aren't usually that attracted to you.

And yet when it comes to the index of nations that are least corrupt, have got the highest standards of living, the best schools etc etc Europe and America(including Canada) are way above most countries in Asia. I am not saying Asia isn't developing but barring a few countries there, I don't feel the changes are as impressive as they should be.

The problem goes beyond just politicians, who are the people that elect them in the first place. But then again, this isn't the forum to talk about this so I shall leave this discussion for another day.

I don't know what the OP is asking? Is this being asked of Caucasians who don't date other races? Or is it being asked of other races who won't date anything except their own race or just Caucasians?

Typically, I have known more women from other races (Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Asian) who DON'T want to date their own and are holding out for some collegiate Caucasian dude. Most of the time, they don't get what they want, so they resort back to someone of their own race or to an older Caucasian guy. I also had one black male friend that wouldn't even consider anything except a white woman. And he had 2 brothers who view it the same way.

When I was in junior and high school, the kids were racist to me. Just the Males. That did not bring me down. What is your height? Are you built?

"IT" is not affecting your life. YOU are affecting your life.

If you cannot get a date it is affecting your life. Not only your dating life but this stuff affects your social life as well.
