Anecdotal but as an Asian male this hasn’t been the case for me at all. I posted my stats on HN a few months ago but from thousands of profile interactions I’ve had practically zero mutual interest from non-Asians. That’s not an exaggeration either, I literally have a zero percent approval rate from white women, the majority ethnicity in my current city.
Every single Asian male friend that I know of didn’t meet their non-Asian SO online dating, but met them in person from work/school/group events. Likewise, every non-Asian female I’ve ever dated I met offline first.
- faitswulff 9y agoSince I'm also a straight Asian male, I can empathize: https://www.npr.org/2018/01/09/575352051/least-desirable-how-racial-discrimination-plays-out-in-online-dating https://www.npr.org/2018/01/09/575352051/least-desirable-how... When I was dating, it seemed like anyone interested in me was either an otaku or a weeaboo :p However, the data regarding interracial dating says otherwise: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/609091/first-evidence-that-online-dating-is-changing-the-nature-of-society/ https://www.technologyreview.com/s/609091/first-evidence-tha... Note that the future may not have arrived in all places equally at the same time.
