I have a friend in India who I taught some game concepts, there's no way he can travel outside the west unless he makes a lot of money.

I was a risk analyst during the glory days of Investment banking. I had money to travel back then and that was when I did my Euro trips Now, I have my own business. Don't have the cash to go to the west.

I think Asian's undersell themselves and buy into the whole negative stereotype. Sometimes you can be your worse enemy!
If you are Asian, dress well, no accent and carry yourself well there is no reason why you cannot get girls.
I have a good friend in the UK who is Indian (English born) and he has no problem whatsoever with women, point being he does not give a fcuk.
I have met quite a few girls who are really into that whole eastern spirituality/religion stuff, an easy market to tap into if you are asian.
Also alot of girls are into Indian movies! The romance factor!
Alot of sites do not cater for minorities, sometimes you have to read between the lines.

I'm Indian but born/raised in the USA.

I think another problem with Indians (both ones born in India or in the west) is that they typically are mothers-boys. Their moms control their freaking lives. I know tons of Indian dudes who are way too pussy to even approach girls in bars/clubs. It is just freaking sad. Lots of desi dudes never grow any backbone because they have been turned into major pussies by their mothers.

Then there also is the stereotype that Indian guys smell and don't know how to behave around women (both true IMO, at least with repsect to dudes from India). It is fucking sad. A lot of stereotypes you can't alter, but these two about Indians could easily be changed if Indian dudes just behaved better and took showers/wore deodorant. It really sucks that these guys ruin the reputation of all Indian dudes. And I wish that Indian dudes in places like Goa would stop going there so they can walk up and down the beach looking at white women in bikinis. Indians are so fucking repressed it is sad. They need more strip clubs in India. They need to actually have real dating in India so dudes don't have all this pent up frustration their entire lives. It is so counter productive and backwards right now.

The sad thing is that while Asian and Black dudes would have a really tough time altering the stereotypes of their groups, Indian guys could do it easily just by behaving and wearing fucking deodorant.

And workout and eat a proper diet and not act like complete Jackasses after a couple of beers. The stories that I have heard about the kind of shit FOB Indian guys do in Vancouver, its so true that these guys mess it up for the rest of us.

And when you buy a deodorant don't buy that cheap AXE or Adidas can. Invest in a proper one.

@torontokid, In Europe, I was mistaken for a Latino almost all the time. There were only a couple of guys who could figure out my real ethnicity and one of them was a taxi driver, so he had a lot of experience with tourists from different countries. This will be case in Europe and maybe North America. In South American I am quite confident that I and most North Indians can easily mix with the local population.

Its a different story in SEA. I am in Thailand right now and my first impression is that people think that I am from Iran. One girl told me that she thought that I was from Iran and whenever I order something that has pork the vendor looks at me and shouts out "PORK! PORK!", I think one day i will hear "PORK! HARAM! HARAM!"

Most people can tell I'm Indian I guess cause I have exactly brown skin and large eyes. But I get all sorts of other guesses while traveling. In a few countries people have asked if I'm Israeli (including in Sri Lanka which was weird since Sri Lankans and Indians are indistinguishable). A lot of people ask if I'm Arab, but I'm not sure the really even know the difference between an Arab and an Indian. Anyone with those features to them is Arab I think.

And then there are funny reactions from white tourists. I swear in Thailand there were white tourists who would ask me directions thinking I'm a local. There is no fucking way a normal person could think I'm Thai but I think to white people anyone with darker skin is Thai. I guess it's the same way I look at Europeans. They all sorta look the same to me.

I'd say that in countries that have no Indian populations (like Latin America and the Philippines, basically anywhere not in the British Empire), it is much easier to just blend in. People haven't seen any Indians before. They have no negative vibes about Indians. In South America they even think I'm a local a lot of times. In America though I've never really been confused with being Latino, even though a lot of Mexicans are pretty dark. I suppose a lot of white people might think in their head I'm Mexican since to them everyone who is brown is either a illegal alien or a Islamic terrorist but they never really voice this opinion.

Sure, in fact I'll be posting a very detailed data sheet on Krakow and Wroclaw in the next week or so. This will not just focus on the obvious night gaming spots but also food, day gaming and date spots.

In short Krakow is a tough nut to crack. Our forum brothers will be well served by going to Wroclaw or Poznan.

This is all very interesting. I've never heard about travel from the ethnic Indian perspective.

Someone was talking about how Indians from India will often fuck things up for other Indians trying to score abroad. East Asian dudes have a similar problem with mainland Chinese going abroad and doing things like hawking loogies and shooting snotrockets everywhere.

Yeah, Indian guys from India are the worst. They are only one step above a prehistoric barbarian. You should check out Goa during the high seasons. Bus loads of Indian men will go over there and then walk up and down the beach wearing pants and long sleeve shirts while holding hands (men hold hands in India if they are friends). They'll do nothing but stare down white chicks in bikinis, as if they haven't ever seen a women before (they haven't).

Then there are always cases of Indian men molesting women in bars or on the streets, especially during NYE.

Indian culture is just backwards. Period. They think they are morally superior because they repress their sexuality but the opposite is true. Most of these Indian men are so fucking horny cause they have done nothing in their life that they all visit prostitutes. They all fuck around ten times more than men in the west.

And yet because they are never around women other than prostitutes they never learn how to behave around women. This is true even of the supposed "liberal" Indians in Mumbai and Delhi. They are so fucking repressed it's sad. I knew one dude who came out to CA and we rolled to a strip club. He has never seen women naked before in mass like that and he almost busted his load in the club.

Anyway, this topic really gets me pissed off because these fucking retarded Indians ruin it for guys who have actually made the effort to develop their ability with women. If I had listened to my parents I'd probably have ended up a repressed Indian loser myself, but I made the effort to try to get out there and learn how to deal with women in western society. But all this FOB fuckers just ruin it. It's a fucking waste. They have no motive to learn how to deal with women because their fucking parents will get them an arranged marriage in the end. And the worst thing is that if you ever argue with them about this they will look down on guys like me. They think they have the moral high ground even though I've seen these fuckers in Dubai, Singapore, Mumbai, and elsewhere chasing down nasty ass hookers, cause they are so desperate. Hell, when MSNBC ran that program To Catch a Predator most of the people caught were freaking Indian FOB computer programmers from Silicon Valley. No surprise.

A really backwards culture. Hopefully with the economic liberalization going on in India the country will open within the next 20-30 years but I'm not going to hold my breath knowing how stubborn Indian people are.

Sorry for the rant.

This guilt thing is big with Indian people. Both men and women make you feel this guilt. Indian women just love these pussy Indian guys who will wag their tails and roll over whenever they are told to do so. When I tell them that I am interested in traveling and fucking women from different countries instead of marrying before the age of 30, growing a pot belly and having kids I am looked down upon as some kind of evil son of Satan who is out to corrupt other Indian men.

And not all Indian men hold hands if they are friends. The ones you are talking about are the low class shitty Indians. I know that my friend would lose his arm(s) is he ever tried or thought about holding my hand.

Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Indian people live their life in misery simply because they want to conform to the pathetic Indian social code. Whether it's putting up with a crappy spouse, parent, family member, or job they will do it simply because they have a "duty" to do it.

And don't even mess around with Indian women raised in India. They have the mentality of 12 year old girls. I gave up on them a long time ago. In the US I've picked up Indian chicks from India in clubs and gotten back to their bedroom only for them to pull shit saying they are virgins and have no idea why I expected that they would hook up with me. It is a fucking retarded society.

And yeah, I'm pissed off about it because I have to work twice as hard to overcome the "Indian guys are fucking shady smelly freaks" stereotype.

How about "Officialdom"? Some govt officials(Police, border agents, Road check points, etc) who might not be used to seeing non-white travelers might be on some Hating shit. If this is the odd police dickhead then that's not that big of a deal but if it appears to be institutionalized then this needs to be told.

For example, On the bus ride from Northern Peru to Lima, I must have had have been pulled out of the bus and have my bags throughly searched in just about every check point(The 3 other White Gringos on the bus were not bothered). In one of those check points one of the cops wanted a bride and told the bus driver to drive away in the middle of nowhere. The bus driver along with some locals got off the bus and said they weren't leaving without me. This is in contrast with Argentina, The one country I expected this kind of sillyness to go on. I crossed Argentinian borders several times and not once was my bag searched or have my passport carefully scrutinized.

In sum, the one advice I have for Minority men traveling between major tourist centers in Peru(Lima itself was fine) is either Fly or take that luxury bus line(forgot the name) those buses don't get stopped at all.

Yeah, Japan is a shithole. The cops in Tokyo love stopping brown and black dudes and asking for ID. It was fucking pathetic. I must have been stopped at least a dozen times in six months.

This also happened to me in a park in Hong Kong. I guess a lot of Iranians and South Asians sell drugs so therefore all brown people are drug dealers in HK. Fuckers.

Crossing into Italy I also have been stopped a couple times and asked for ID whereas everyone else just walked through.

Most people in this world are fucking retarded.

With reference to my recent Polish experience, I must say that Polish officialdom takes a poor view of brown guys traveling thru their country.

I was stopped thrice during my stay of 11 days and subjected to a freaking detailed questioning about why I chose to spend my time in Poland.

The first time, I was with a cool Polish chick at the Wroclaw railway station (just after arriving) and this meathead official saunters out of nowhere, asks to see my passport and my Swiss permit, then runs all details thru his handheld system for 15 minutes, calls his partner and then asks me detailed questions on where I am staying and why I am passing thru. It got to the point where the Polish chick was clearly embarrassed about it and she profusely apologized. I brushed it off.

The second time was when I was leaving Wroclaw for Krakow. Same incident and same mode of questioning. This time it happened outside the railway station when I was whiling away my time waiting for the train.

The third time was in Krakow near the main market square. There was a security cover being put up for the late pope John Paul II's beatification ceremony and I "happened" to be picked up for questioning.

Of course, there is nothing that you can do about it, but for a brief second, I did contemplate questioning their reason to check me. Then of course, I realized that this would make things even more difficult for me and just bore the whole thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if other brown guys reported the same experience traveling thru other EE countries.

Nomadicdude,

You say that you backpack. A brown or black backpacker will be stopped and questioned in almost every first world country in this world. As you said, they are the ones who are involved in the drug trade. Its sad but that's the way it is.

Yeah, well I've been backpacking for 14 months now and in my life I've been to over 70 countries. I agree with you generally that brown dudes will get subjected to shit that whites wont in a lot of countries but to be honest I have to admit that in the vast majority of places I've surprisingly had no problems.

Only places that have sucked have been Israel (I'm a fucking terrorist whereever I go), Japan and Hong Kong (Im a drug dealer), and parts of South Africa and Namibia (they just hate anyone who isn't white, they are still living in the 1950's).

And of course most places I go they have white fever. So if I'm in Thailand of the Philippines they will prefer a blind retarded 50 year old white dude over me, on the basis that the white dude will have more money (which is funny because I probably have a higher net worth than 90% of white dudes who travel but that's another issue). I actually dont consider this discrimination because (a) it is so fucking sad seeing non-white ppl not having any self-respect and (b) most of this type of racism occurs in shady types of activities ie girlies bars. I don't really care if a fucking hooker prefers a fucking white dude who is probably a plumber in Ohio over me. That is her deal, not mine. There's a reason she is fucking hooker, cause she is fucking stupid. I don't fucking worry about it.

Anyway, so I agree that being brown generally doesn't have many advantages but in my experience it is actually not that bad. I really benefit from being able to go to a lot of places in the world and be treated like a local. There are Indian people in basically every country that was part of the former British Empire, so I simply don't deal with the BS that white tourists do. Also, I don't have to worry about being jumped by 5 fucking dudes if I walk outside my hotel once it's dark because generally speaking no one wants to fucking rob an Indian dude. Hell, tonight I'm in some shithole city in the Philippines and I just walked outside to get food at 2am at night and I had no fucking worries. If I was blond god knows what would have happened. Robbing an Indian makes as much sense as robbing a nun. But maybe this has just been my individual experience, I dunno, I travel solo for the most part and I have a US passport and I don't act like a fucking FOB idiot. I think Indian guys get treated a lot worse when they roll with two plus FOB idiots and complain about the cost of anything they want to buy and treat women like total shit. Anyways.

Israeli girls are some of the hottest in the world but they stick to their tribe. The only non-Israelis I know who have had success have been American Jews.

It's actually better to go to Koh Phangan in Thailand to the Full Moon Party. The place is a fucking little Tel Aviv and I swear I saw some of the hottest freaking girls ever there, all Israeli.

But yeah, if you aren't a Jew it's tough. Israeli girls are generally bitchy toward all men. They have no qualms with just completely not even acknowledging a guy who tries to talk to them.

I know they fuck around though, but I think you need to be a Jew. I have no freaking luck at the Full Moon Party, but then again, it was a MAJOR cock festival so it was tough in general.

Why did I just find this thread? Yes YMB, this is a great idea and will be a selling product. Tipping point type shit. Minorities/guys in the USA have money and can't get punani here have the funds available for travel. Do it! Do it! Shit, a data sheet will be priceless.

My wing man here in the US is actually an Indian guy. Electrical engineer making 6k salary, but is a little off on the ways of dating white women (he fancies them). I told him about south america so now he's researching a trip.
