     Er, does anyone have some stats on this? My sample size is pretty
small -- just myself,  a 5'2" South Asian male, but I've never really had
any problems dating women. And I've never really considered myself to
be particularly attractive, aggressive, or charming.

     I can't really ascribe it to some sort of fetish for exotic South
Asian males either; I've had similar success courting women back home.
Of course, that might have been due to the fact that most of the mothers
there, for some reason or other, appeared to consider me less of a threat 
to their daughters' virtues :-)

     Regards.
