Experience with South Asian Men (WOC only please)
I'm wondering what your experience if any has been with South Asian men?
I have only had South Asian Splenda's of Indian/ Pakistani descent. My vanilla dating has been with White men mostly just due to proximity of who was around me and treated me the best. I'll add that I am also a South Asian American woman living in the U.S.
I don't want to start generalizing all South Asian men but the overwhelming majority are incredibly frugal and cheap. They give the least and ask for the most. They are not generous. They have never really given without me asking. Even when I ask it's like pulling teeth. Even when the men were multi-millionaires. They tend to be overconfident for how they look and flaunt what they have but will be tight fisted with you. Unfortunately, I do get irritated/ jealous when they are sharing all their things and flaunting it but not actually helping me in any way.
The White men I dated were my age or younger and always paid, gave gifts, and invested. The South Asian men, even when 20+ years older expected me to be with them for free even if they were married! They will only do the bare minimum like pay for meals and dates (not luxurious by any means).
I'm not sure if this has happened with anyone else, but I'm the common denominator here so I want to compare notes. Also, i'm not sure if it helps but I am told that I'm beautiful/hot by many many people and get complimented by women too. I'm more of a girl next door type. I have the easiest time relating to these men (because of shared childhood trauma and cultural overlap) but the negatives outweigh the positives. I have a hard time finding "generous" men in general and i'm wondering if it's how South Asian men see my value, aka low value because i'm a woman and the same ethnicity as them? Not that I care but I'm tired of wasting time and want someone who will meet my $$$ standards without dangling a carrot for the future.
