not really, you may have a small number but in most cases these are the same type of women who will stereotype asian men in all sorts of nasty ways since they are so used to seeing them

As opposed to places where Asian-Americans are a "novelty" and women stereotype them because they are not used to seeing them at all?

Exactly what I was thinking. I know I wouldn't want to move to a place where I stood out and was gawked at like a new attraction at the zoo.

He was exotic instead of just another Asian guy. Now I read a blog post called "The Invitation: Tom Decides to visit North Dakota", the post has made it big on several forums and I found it pretty interesting.

Some stylish and fit Asian dude goes to North Dakota and sees mind shattering results with White females than he has anywhere else (including Southern Cal and other areas).

Just google "The Invitation: Tom Decides to visit North Dakota" and give it a very good read. I found it pretty interesting and it had some decent comments on it too. It is a wordpress blog but the guys writing it are well respected.
But the women in Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, etc. are not necessarily very stylish or fit. And why would he want to be a "novelty" if he is looking for real connections and relationships?

He doesn't need to move, he just needs to have confidence and make the first move. Non-Asian women do date and marry Asian men; I have and I know several non-Asian women who are married to Asian men.

I'm half Korean. I get more a$$ than a toilet.

Just kidding. But my girlfriend is a hot Latina. And before her was a blonde chick who was psycho (for real).

You just can't be a lame Asian who doesn't socialize or have fun.

Im just wondering what percentage of white women in your area would be open to dating an Asian man? Please be honest
If you went out and asked 100 women for a date, chances are that a large majority will reject you. This is true no matter what your race.

As an exercise, start talking to girls you see every day. At the same time, if you see someone else you'd like to date, ask them in a non-creepy manner, knowing you'll likely get a rejection. The idea here is to get over the fear of rejection, so you'll be more confident later. During this time, one of the girls may show a little more interest in you. Ask her out with the confidence you'll survive a rejection.

As others have said, the percentages don't matter. All you need to know is that there are those of all races who will date Asians. All it takes is for you to ask the right person.

There is a show on TV called The Mentalist and we watch that show and there is an Asian character on there that Mrs. Chow would step over my dead body to go after.......
But then he'd have to arrest her for your murder.

I don't know what part of my post lacked class

I was saying good things about Asian guys, If I would have dusted off some old stereotypes about being little geeky nerds, I could see the blatant hostility you'd have......
