Lmao it’s no different than normal dating trends in that city. Maybe the only thing is that I’ve IB people tend to date other people in finance or other high paying jobs like tech (prevalent in SF) which is just a matter of professional proximity.

Whether or not you can bag a white chick won’t change just because you became a banker

 
Funniest

You sound like a self loathing tool. What is wrong with your own brown women? Having lived in the Bay Area though I can tell you unfortunately women are an extinct species unless you count the pink haired transgender objects in the streets screaming BLM @ 2am.

Please can we not turn WSO into reddit or one of those pickup forums? I swear I have seen this thread a million times without even looking for it.

this is how it normally goes:

1) Minority dude lands in a new country, mostly as student 2) starts living, looks around campus/city and sees lots of women walking around who seem different than in the home country where they are from 3) looks at all the men these women date and realize - hey, they don't look like me - why is that? 4) guy goes home and posts various threads online asking why (enter race here) can't date white, blue-eyed, blonde women but (enter different race here) can do so 5) flame war with racial posts starts or he gets ignored

here is the information you need 1) they don't look like you because Indians are rare in the West (except in the UK). not many women know lots of Indians, hence they can't find or date them 2) many immigrants don't know how to deal with women. nobody taught them and they end up looking creepy. don't be a creep. 3) work on yourself instead of spending your life online. go to the gym, get ripped and go back into the dating scene when you bench enough. 4) consider dating people who understand your culture, religion and the rest. 5) I doubt that 10s in NYC are easy to land for any guy, regardless of race 6) the vast majority of people I know prefer to date within their own race, religion, and culture. this is what I have seen and I could be wrong. All the indian women I know all have Indian husbands and not white husbands. nobody makes a thread about that?! If you have a problem with brown/black/other race women, then the problem is most likely with you. don't look at women as a race, look at them as people.

good luck

nb you can replace Indian with any other race you like, it was an example.

 

The immigrants I have met came mostly from non coed lifestyles. women/men life their own lives and don't always engage with each other. parents don't teach them how to deal with dating, how to deal with women etc.

Posting these kinds of threads on WSO is the kind of person who wouldn't know how to deal with women IRL.

I don't think women are into shy guys, they like confident men...

If an immigrant is tall, ripped, good looking, without a weird accent and confident - I don't see why he should be that disadvantaged.

 

Why do people of Indian descent refer to themselves as brown people when those from South India are darker than black people?

Seems like a reflection of colorism within the country itself

 

Fair point. I'm generally curious about the colorism aspect because I know it's a thing in North India and South India and wonder if that carries over into the States for these "brown" kids

 

I'll just leave that here, and you'll be able to deduce the answer by yourself.

This is stupid af and if anyone takes the results of an fucking OK Cupid chart as fact, then that's Darwinism.

It doesn't matter what you look like, if you can LISTEN to a girl, maintain conversation, and simply not creep her out - you will be successful in the field. It's not hard whatsoever, but these incels on here really make me worry for the younger men in finance.

 

That's not "a fucking OK Cupid chart", but statistical data. As the first poster said, the fact that you work in finance is irrelevant - it won't change anything on the dating scene, which is why I wonder why you say that being able to talk to girls will make you successful in the field. There's literally no connection between the two, unlike what OP thinks.

Now, if you believe that being able to "LISTEN" to a girl and maintain conversation will allow you to date/bang her, I have bad news for you.
