Even nerdy dudes are tired of masculine American girls

It's funny how the commentators are trying to psychoanalyze every single action or word uttered. The female reactions are always amusing in these, they ALWAYS take the side of the female. The betas follow suit. Yet another reason beta men need to be shamed more in public for female pandering and less-than-manly behavior.

She has great hair, a decent body from what I can, but a rather average face. I've noticed that white guys, particularly the nerdy ones over-rate Asian women. Basically *any* Asian women is hot to them. Some of my Chinese co-workers always chuckle about this, and I don't think it's sour grapes because they have some wives/GFs that are actually quite good looking. The girl in the article is cute but that's it.
BTW: I love these Date Lab posts. I wonder, do any other major newspapers have a similar feature?

I think this girl is attractive, and he was definitely drawn to her personality. He appreciated that he didn't have to try to carry the conversation, and that she pretty much took that duty off his hands. It's actually HER schedule that's making it tough to hook up again, and he may already be growing tired of trying. On the other hand, she's interested and wants him to make it happen. I think he can bang this chick. She actually felt that ever elusive "spark." The only reason she didn't give the date a 5 was because he didn't go romantic enough after they left the restaurant. He shouldn't try to arrange the perfect date. Just get some quick face time over a drink, and don't let too much time pass. If a chick thinks you're wishy-washy, she'll go cold on you.
The commenters were pretty much talking out of their asses, and totally ignoring his assessment of her and the date. One commenter said he should just "shut up and listen to her," when that's pretty much all he did, and he said so. Another said he should "draw her out more," when again, he didn't have to do that. Just because he wasn't jumping up and down for joy, he got ripped. I will say this...he finally found a chick that is very un-D.C. like. She's attractive enough. He needs to make this happen.

Taste in music is REALLY important to me.
Is it just me, or do only betas care this much? I get this sense that betas are so insecure about themselves and needy that they want a girl who mirrors them in every way, so they can be best fwends foweverrrrr!!! Personally, as long as she's not a juggalo, her tastes in music aren't a big deal to me.
I think it's a lot in part due to the whole myspace/facebook phenomenon. People got so used to listing their favorite music genres and everyone started taking it so seriously (girls far more so than guys). The betas react by validating themselves with their favorite types of music in fear of being rejected by women who don't share theirs...
Today, you've got the hipsters who disown any artist that isn't underground or indie... or whatever... because to them it's only cool if they're the only one who knows about it.
The world has been turned upside-down.

Hipsters and underground music fans have always been like that. It used to be the real deal when you had to keep your ears to the streets to know about bands and shit. Now, you can do it in 5 minutes on your phone. Internet hipsters.

He's a great example of a beta male.
What's the sine qua non of beta?
It's *neediness*.
He needs his musical interests validated, as a way of affirming his choice, and thus his self-esteem.
(Somewhat relatedly: It's the same reason so many guys read "Hooking Up Smart." They NEED a woman to tell them, "Good job, boy. You are right.")
Pathetic.

She does seem quite big for an Asian girl... just saying.

Chick goes to Penn and majors in Visual Studies.
She has to find a provider.
