I’ve slowly begun to realize that I work a bit too hard to come off as disinterested, not chasing, etc.
It’s bad enough to do this with American girls (even ones with a short-term mindset) who have been exposed to TikTok and other influences that promote this, but I think it might be an absolute non-starter with all the Latin and Asian girls I’ve talked to.
Obviously I’m going to work on this.
Now my question is, how much do non-Western girls (I’m primarily talking about Asian, Latin, and Indian int’l students, in that order) expect me to do to get together with them, and what constitutes needy try-hard behavior?
My hypothesis with Asian girls is basically you have to not just lead but manage almost everything and if she’s going along with it, you’re good; if she resists, you need to deal with her concerns; and if she gives two hard rejections, she means it and you drop it.
But I have no clue about Latin and Indian girls.
