Last month, I posted something about Asian guys who are metro. Metro Asian guys seem to be a common sight around here, yet I’ve never really seen any posts about it. I’m sure there are plenty of metro Asian guys in the US as well, aren’t there? I don’t understand why I’m reading stories about Asian guys not feeling confident about themselves when it comes to dating. These metro guys seem to have women all over them all the time. Sure, most are not “from here,” but many are, or at least, have lived in this part of the world for a significant number of years. Though metro men aren’t my type, I can’t say that anyone could say that these men are unattractive. They don’t even fit the stereotype of the geeky Asian male. Can a geek seriously wear tons of product in his hair (perhaps even with highlights), jeans and t-shirt similar to an American Eagle or Abercrombie ad and still be a geek/nerd? Of course, these guys often turn it up a notch or two with their man bags (and often, the man bag is what elevates them to metrodom)
Maybe I’m just living in a bubble called Toronto (yeah, there are geeky guys too, but I don’t really know any, at least not over 18) and most of my friends and acquaintances grew up in middle class suburbia. Maybe if I hung out with restaurant kids (not restaurant owner kids…..staff kids), things would be different.
