So I'm a 24-year-old college student, of Indian ethnicity. I have a hard time figuring out what I'm doing wrong in my approaches to women.
I'm not too bad looking, receive compliments on my looks and clothing/sense of style. The only problem is being a bit short. I speak without an accent too. I'm not shy with women either, I cold approach on campus a lot. Just got 2 numbers today. I'm a good conversationalist too. But I haven't had too much luck with cold approaching or with women in general. Some might say it's because I'm short (5'7) and Indian. But the thing is I know Indian dudes who are objectively even worse in appearance and who don't seem to have too much trouble with women. Of course, appearance isn't everything but it's a big factor. This one dude I know (utter sleazebag who literally asks out every woman he meets) slept with like 15 women in the last couple of months along with cheating on his girlfriend. Another dude, a much better guy also goes through girlfriends and doesn't seem to have trouble getting women and he's even shorter than me. I feel like I put in too much effort and don't get enough returns. I dress well, talk and speak confidently, and appear interesting and fun. My text game does suck though. Like how the hell do guys learn how to sext and escalate conversations? With most women from cold approaches, they don't reply back after a few messages anyway. So that's one thing I want to learn, how to be a flirtatious texter.
I don't have much trouble with online dates, can land a kiss on the first and get her in bed by the second date. But I haven't gotten a match in awhile so I'm approaching more women these days. But I'm missing something important and I have a hard time figuring out what it is. I'll be graduating soon and I don't want to leave university feeling like I missed out. Apparently, it only gets harder after university. And I still have not had a girlfriend in all 4 years. Just a couple of hookups, that's it. While everyone else seems to have gotten all the sexual exploration out of their systems, I haven't gotten anything back for the effort i put in.
I'll be graduating soon and do

I don't know the first guy too well other than he plays numbers game often He's a friend of an ex and she said he was a douche too. I know he's an ambitious dude so maybe that's a factor? the second guy is a party fun guy, so i think that works for him

A woman here, I only get creeped out by cold approach if the guy who is lower in looks than me approaches me. Otherwise I love it. u/beenpimpin is right, a guy who is a 4 shouldn’t approach a girl who’s a 8.

Simple, these guys either have money, met these girls when they were both young, or the girl finds the guy attractive, attractiveness is subjective.
I’m talking about conventional attractiveness, which is especially important for seduction/hookups etc. A bald, fat guy or someone who overall isn’t physically fit nor financially on the top%, will not get the attention from a woman who’s close to model looks.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting a guy who has looks and isn’t broke. Any guy who gets upset with that just reveals his own inner insecurities and hatred towards evolutionary standards.
And no, girls don’t reject guys out of their league IF the guy is respectful and doesn’t show major red flags in the moment. The red flags depend on the girl.
Many “pretty” girls also hookup with not-so-attractive dudes because of being drunk OR they know he’ll most likely be more useful during the hookup because he doesn’t get as much play as hot guys, i.e. isn’t a douche and will do more to please her.

I can’t comment on your looks as I haven’t seen your face nor body, cute and ripped is subjective and many guys claim to be that, and then the reality is… well, different.
And yes, It’s quite common knowledge amongst girls. Many girls have encountered Chads who do not even try during sex and just want to get their nut. Whereas the not-so-goodlooking guys try and aren’t dicks about some stuff that Chads are. We know he doesn’t get much play so he’ll do his absolute best.

And how do i start giving off these sexual vibes? How to develop this sexual aura/charsima? I know this is a thing with some men but i don't know how they develop that attitude aside from being attractive.

I will admit that Indians are my least preferred race but I also think that its because I notice a starring problem from most Indian men. Even if raised in America. I’m not sure why that is. Also, i work in a retail store that has a lot of Indian women that come in and sometimes.. i honestly cant tell if its the same women I’ve already seen or if its someone new. I hate to say that but its MY truth. I find this to be the same with Indian men for the most part… sorry bud. Its not advice but I guess some insight from my own experience. I guess my takeaway is that you will just have to find women that are interested in your type or maybe indian women might be more open too. Not saying you have to date the same race but i do notice it can be easier to find partners.

I think it’s me seeing the same type of face within the same race that can get boring. I’ve seen extremely attractive Indian men that are really well groomed but i just dont find them attractive. I guess it could also be stereotypes because I always see online how Indian men can be really abusive and entitled to “their women”. Idk its just a fear thing I guess. Also, i have to think about are those traits I would want to give to my offspring if I accidentally got pregnant? But these are things that go through my mind with everyone. I guess I have my guards up. Then again, I’m attracted to very unique looks on men. Things that stand out, hair, eyes, lips. I guess I like me some mixed men.

Is it racism or is it my preference. Because what you cant force me to choose who I want to date. In a line up of 5 different races, and I choose one man, it makes me racist for not picking the other races? Theres nothing wrong with liking certain people. Sorry, I’m just not attracted to indian men. Just my preference. I think they are fine people though. I wouldnt date a 55 year old man but im not ageist. I just have my preferences.

I literally used the word “can”. They CAN be that way. And a lot are abusive. I simply never used a racist statement, i used suggestive statements that is accurate to me. This is how I feel, i never blatantly said “Indian men ARE abusive”. I made statements in which every race could fall under the same stereotypes. Any race CAN be abusive. You just are rearranging and replacing my words. But you are right, it is social conditioning, because obviously if I lived directly in India and was surrounded my majority of Indian men, then of course my options are very much slimmer for anything else but Indian. But I live in America where it’s completely diverse and I have endless options, making it okay for me to pick and choose as I please.

Lol, where did i bash Indian men? I have experienced that shit myself so i don't do it to others. But that doesn't mean I'll stop calling creepy guy creep. I have 3 other Indian/south Asian friends who do well for themselves and I have nothing but praise for them. Just because I brought up one dude who acts like a creep to women, you take that as an attack on all Indian men? You chill dude. I'm usually the guy telling people to not put all indian guys into a box.
