For some men, finding a date isn’t easy according to one Asian Expatica reader who finds it difficult “to break into the Western woman's mindset”. Dating coach Jean-Baptiste Trannoy believes that the barrier isn’t necessarily on the women’s side.Reader’s question:
Often, for Asian ethnicities it is hard to break into the Western woman's mindset. If you have Indian or Chinese ethnicity you have no chance as the women have made up their minds already. Do you have any recommendations on how to obtain social freedom and overcome the ethnicity barrier?
Dating coach, Jean-Baptiste Trannoy, replies:
Obtaining social freedom can only be achieved through working on your social skills. Then you will realize that the ethnicity barrier, like so many other limiting thoughts that prevent us from connecting with others, is mostly in your mind.
Let me break this down for you. I have coached guys from all ethnicities, nationalities and walks of life. Many used a similar belief as a way to rationalise why they were unsuccessful with women. It’s the easy road: Women don’t like Indian guys, period. I beg to differ. In reality, there are probably a million things you do wrong, and that’s why women don’t find you attractive.
That’s the tough part. The good news is, given the right amount of dedication and guidance, you can adopt different social habits, get different results and reform your system of beliefs to live a more active, diverse and meaningful dating life. So the first step is to take full responsibility and improve the way you communicate, i.e. flirt in this instance.
