<p>How am I a showoff? I'm a college confidential geek too or else I wouldn't be here! </p>
<p>Wutang, I don't think I'm hot stuff or anything, there's no way that could "go to my head". I accept my average cuteness.</p>
<p>yep, honestly, at the end of the day, I'd rather be a nerd. Being a cute nerd helps, though...</p>
<p>^, but you said short and cute don't belong together??</p>
<p>There's a great amount of sarcasm/facetiousness in this thread that no one seems to be getting.</p>
<p>I think Wutang has a point with the height stuff (great name BTW... protect yo bonds nukka). As a short dude (Filipino as well), people are always going to notice it. People are always going to have prejudices for something or another. Maybe they won't admit it, but there's always that split second where they hesitate, and then the rest of their brain kicks in and goes "maybe this person isn't so bad/dumb/dangerous/whatever, maybe I should give them a chance." Well at least for some people.</p>
<p>But you can't let yourself be defined by other people's ideas. You should start believing in what you are and not what you aren't.</p>
<p>F-ck it dude, let's bowl.</p>
<p>okay, which one of you losers just messaged me on facebook?</p>
<p>Pretty picture, you. AU, huh? Odd, I've not seen you before... though it is a pretty big place.
I still think I'm paler.</p>
<p>You can go for days without seeing anyone familiar on Auburn's campus, and then there's that one person in your class that you notice and all of a sudden they're EVERYWHERE. I bet you'll see me all the time now. </p>
<p>If you're paler, I'm sorry. I suggest sunlight as a remedy. :D</p>
<p>Remedy? You kidding? Besides my poor sense of humor and sadistic tendencies, my paleness is all I have going for me. Besides, pale = cute.</p>
<p>This thread amuses me to no end. Yes, I had to say that.</p>
<p>I skipped from page 1 to page 8, and only coherency I see is with Wutang's height argument. I don't get why the **** someone's picture had to get involved. (p.s. it looks photoshop touched; at the very least, brightened)</p>
<p>Anyways, about the height thing... I myself wouldn't go for a guy, even if I'm slightly attracted to him, if he's not taller than (or at least as tall as) me. Makes it harder on myself, as I'm 5'9", but considering that many girls are not so tall, I'd say as long as you're 5'8"+, you shouldn't have that much of a problem with many girls, given that you have confidence and persistance.</p>
<p>I think there is some truth to the whole nice guy/bad guy thing. I think it's better reasoned as the chase. Girls don't want easy guys either. ;) </p>
<p>P.S. And I thought UCSD had Triton eye. There must be CC goggles!</p>

<p>"Maybe the most striking numbers are with regard to income-ethnicity trade-offs, as shown in Table 5.6. For equal success with a white woman, an African-American man needs to earn $154,000 more than a white man. Hispanic men need an additional $77,000, and Asian men need an additional $247,000 in annual income. In contrast to men, women mostly cannot compensate for their ethnicity with a higher income." (page 29)
</p>
<p>Here are the sources for the quoted text. they are from a research conducted by MIT and UChicago professors---I'd call them credible.</p>
<p>Several implications can be derived:</p>
<ol>
<li>Asian men have it hard.</li>
<li>Women are more or less gold diggers.</li>
</ol>
<p>However, the above statements need to be qualified---the study is conducted for ONLINE dating, in which case objective qualities such as race, height and income play a much larger role than life dating. Other qualifications can be found in the study itself.</p>
<p>I may post more when I finish reading the study.</p>
<p>Um, no, my picture's not photoshopped. I am completely illiterate about those things. It's not even brightened, I'm just really pale. Of course, I look more pale next to the girl in my picture because she's dark, and because the sunlight was directly on us.</p>
<p>It absolutely sucks to be an Asian male. I'm surprised that black men need no additional income to date Asian women. I could have sworn that Asian women only dated White and Asian males.</p>
<p>Now the question that remains:</p>
<p>Which male ethnic group has it the worst? East/Southeast, Indian, or Middle Eastern Asians?</p>
<p>East Asians easily.</p>

East Asians easily.

<p>I've always wondered about that. The "Yellow Fever" video says otherwise.</p>
<p>Yellow Fever applies to Asian women only.</p>

<p>Very true indeed. </p>
<p>I guess if you're Indian, you can sort of pass yourself off as black. I don't know about Arabs though man.</p>
<p>But what if you're Indian and look Arab? Not all Indians are dark. </p>
<p>Heck, If I had brown hair I could pass as a tanned white dude.</p>
