How much of a handicap is being an Asian male?

Yes I guess I am hypocritical in some ways (isn't everyone), and that quip about small Ching chong ding dongs was predictable and very encouraging (I'm a racist mofo to everyone).

I have a few girl-friends but it hasn't got past friendship. I guess my height - 5'8" - doesn't help (why is everyone so tall these days! lol). Maybe I should be more burly and boorish, lol.

Thanks all, I hope what you say reflects reality more than my paranoid delusions ;-). I suppose I've been scratching my head wondering why my luck with online dating is so dire, and why I often feel invisible in clubs, pubs.etc. I know it's mostly not a 'race' thing, but you can't help but think of all the possible reasons. I guess I just need to do the things any guy should. Perth people are pretty conservative, so maybe I'd have more luck if I moved to a bigger city like Sydney or Melbourne? I'm a bit of an arty intellectual - not so much in the way I dress or behave, my in my interests. I'm just as happy to go to the footy and have a few cold ones at the local, so I don't fit into any stereotype.

im currently in perth too.but im in a different situation cuz i already have a gf. anyway see quite alot of white guy + asian girl, but not many asian guy + white gal.

n personally i think asian guys (like me) looks better with the so called "anime-hairstyle"

i think white girls dont suit me cuz of our different lifestyles..cuz most of them just love to go clubbing.and i dont feel tall enough to stand beside them. furthermore, English is not my primary language and i found that girls usually speak much faster than boys, which makes me afraid of talking to white girls.

I guess having a little white in me is what makes me different from you, haha. I'm Asian too with some french.

I dislike any type of anime-hairstyle, I just like a clean cut with a little styling.

I live in a city where the majority are white people; changed me to in a way, all the girls I'm always chasing are those that aren't Asian.

I'm tall I guess? Close to 5'10".

It can be a handicap if you're the token Asian guy ... But realistically, it shouldn't be one ... I think I'm one of the coolest folks around and I'm Asian.

You admit to being "thin and shy" ... It seems that shyness is more of a handicap shared by all races.

Hmm.. Around my age/generation there are ALOT of asian male-white female relationships.. I live in Australia too..

My mums boyfriend is japanese.. So I don't really think that race makes any difference..

Sorry If i missed anything, but I'm really tired here. :/

Its all about confidence.

how bout if you're born in an Asian country and you're studying/working in a western country? It's a different case right?
