Because Asians and East Indians in their culture they prioritise studying and getting a high degree. Most are in IT or studying medicine. All that studying means they got not much time to be cool or socialize hence the lack of social skills especially with women. Also they usually do not work out so they usually are skinny again because most of the time is spent studying and saving money to buy property. Also in their culture the priority is to get property. Their main focus is to buy a house. But girls are drawn to cool bad boys that are fun, I seen many girls with cool bad boys who are broke.
East Asian here.
When I'm on dating apps, I get close to zero hits in Montreal... But when I go to Toronto or Vancouver, the matches come through, mostly from other Asians but also other races. I think physical preference plays a big role.
I talked to an SP once and she told me that the black girls gets the least amount of business and Asian women are super popular. Again, preference of most ppl.
Until recently, there hasn't been much Asian male representation in our culture (Shang-Chi). We grew up watching white male as the leader, the dominant character in a storyline, the main event. This translate eventually into the women's preferences. As for why Asian women are popular, if you look at past movies and whatnot, they were often portrayed as submissive, family oriented, obedient housewife basically.
As for the theory of studying alot and not having any social skills, or putting priorities on buying a property makes you seem boring, I just think that's being responsible for your own life and all those are attractive traits imo to most girls looking to settle down. I also don't think that studying alot makes you bad at socializing. By that logic, most ppl with a high/hard degree are weirdos at parties. Maybe there's certain truth to that for select few but it definitely has not been my observations.
Bad boys gets more girls? I think it's more about the confidence. Most Asians are raised as more of a beta. Take care of parents. Of family. Financially support them. All live under one room type of mentality. Alphas exudes more "male" character. Stronger. More confident. The quarter back in highschool if you will.
I found that if you have confidence (not to be comfound with cockiness or being a dick) girls will have an easier time to Gravitate towards you.
