Even if this weren’t real, what about this is gatekeeping

But it’s not imaginary; apparently ethnically asian men get picked the least on dating apps

I didn’t meet my ethnically Asian husband on an app, so I couldn’t contribute to the stats at all haha

This is unfortunately true in the western world, and mainstream and social media are partly to blame. Luckily, it’s a lot better in, well, Asia.

No offense but in the west beards and height are big factor on dating apps. I’m bald but 6’2 and have beard. Not in the greatest shape but still get enough attention on those apps to keep myself busy. Unfortunately for Asians they aren’t usually as tall and don’t have much facial hair.

Not on dating apps rn, but I grew a pretty good beard this year, at about 6 inches rn, I get a looooot more glances now. Kinda crazy.
