As I alluded to above, I think Asian and mixed guys obsess over white girls as a means to validating their acceptance in the West and their subsequent Westernisation. And no, he couldn't have done that, because going to a developing (and, gasp, non-white!) country meant a cop-out, he'd lost, he couldn't hack strong Western women and play the game on easy mode. Thanks, feminism.
This study is quite telling - it shows how much more a man of a different race would have to make in yearly income in order to balance his race. Albeit the study is in terms of Beta Bucks/Long Term mate and provider - it is telling. For short term dating for example black guys enjoy a greater popularity, but getting into a LTR with many white girls is another matter.
Still - the data is clear:

So, here is a question: If a woman cares about her mate’s income and ethnicity, what would a man’s income have to be to make a woman want to contact him even though he is of a different race than her? Imagine the following experiment. A woman can choose between communicating with two men. One earns $60,000 a year and is the same race as her. The other earns X dollars per year and is one of three different races than her. Every other observable characteristic about these two people is identical. What would X have to be in order to make a woman prefer the man in the other ethnic group?
The results are striking. An African-American man would have to earn $154,000 more than a white man in order for a white woman to prefer him. A Hispanic man would need to earn $77,000 more than a white man, and Asian man would need, remarkably, an additional $247,000 in additional annual income.
While similar such numbers exist for the African woman and white men have to pay a premium too, it's still interesting to see that long-term attraction indeed can be bought with women. Price is steep though:
White Man: 60.000$
Hispanic Man: 137.000$
Black Man: 214.000$ (WTF!)
Asian Man: 307.000$
I guess the blogger had little hope of attaining that kind of income in the near future.
Now of course we know that this study is likely pure Beta Bucks and shows the usual standard racial preferences. I am sure a good-looking, tattooed, Asian biker with Game has no problem getting by far more pussy than the average White Beta both for short-term as well as long-term, but the market place is slanted.
^I've seen that study before, I believe they used Okcupid for it. I think it's comparing races directly, rather than controlling all the other variables. A lot of Hispanic and Asian men in their sample would be immigrants and Okcupid has no way of being able to tell. Both are also shorter then white guys. Asian men are generally less masculine looking than white guys too while it's the opposite for Black guys, who are also taller. You'd also have to control for the different level of game shown in different races profiles and opening messages, which is huge since these studies measure women's response rates. I highly doubt Asian guys (even non-immigrant ones) have the same kind of profiles and messages as Black guys, for example. To account for all these differences might be too un-PC to face up to.
