Flyday thoughts: I'm a 💁🏼 who is attracted to 💁🏾‍♂️ guys. But the desi men I've dated have been more interested in casual hookups, not relationships. I'm not that kind of girl so it always fizzles out pretty soon. Are there 💁🏾‍♂️ out there who would be interested in a (potentially serious-ish) relationship with a white girl, and is there a way differentiate them from the guys just tryna get laid?

@OP I just got engaged to my white girlfriend. Desi guys usually tend to marry desi because they don't want the complicated drama of dealing with their parents. I wanted to go with desi as well and only dated desi women but then I met my fiance on tinder that changed and my mom is cool with it but not my dad but then their.opinion doesn't matter in the long run. Its took a while of keeping it simple and easy. We just behaved like two people hanging out we took a logical approach. The point I am trying to make is be friend before you take the romantic route. Get to know the person and check compatibility and if they would be willing to go the distance and vice versa. Its easy to spot a desi mommas boy early on. Just keep it strictly friends in that case.

1) why are you interested in desi men? What attracts you? 2) yes, there are desi men who will get into a serious relation

Damn girl 🙋🏽‍♂️ here. Wife me up. Slash where you from?

I'm sure there are plenty of Desi guys out there that will be interested, however, you're limiting yourself by looking on FB...

Seriously, what's with all consultants using iPhones, I'm like a 🦄.

Ok so where can I find these guys? And how to know if they are legitimately interested vs just trying to hit it and quit it? (It's easy to tell with white guys cause I'm more used to dealing with them but the few desi guys I have dated just leave me SO CONFUSED)

I'd totally say let's get a drink no pressure. 🙌🏽. I'd love to know who you are :-)

Lol we good at setting wrong expectations - this is why we are good consultants 😂

There's a few good ones in Arlington 😏

EY1: I'm into guys who have nice facial hair and chest hair. + shapely and well styled head hair. Im short so I also prefer guys on the shorter side. I feel like in many ways I can relate better to Indian guys (saying Indian because idk enough about other desi cultures) in terms of work ethic, money management, valuing education and intelligence, and love of travel. Obviously this is painting with a broad brush but it's what I've noticed in my personal experience, i.e. Indian guys with good degrees and good jobs who I either went to school with or interact with through work or other consulting friends

@op do you have a burner or can i give you my burner?

And once you ask that question, his body language and emotion should sort of tell you if he's being genuine or just trying to bluff..

SA1 Thanks for the helpful response I really appreciate it. I totally get that most desi guys want to settle down with a desi girl and that's understandable. It makes it confusing though when desi guys will pursue and hit on a white girl and make it seem like they are interested but it turns out they are just trying to mess around before they go back to a desi girl. I don't want to start dating a guy and fall for him just to have that happen 😓 so I will definitely take your advice: take it slow physically + ask what their intentions are. Thanks 👍🏻

Lol @ so many people thinking I'm a desi dude. Idrc what you guys think tho. Thanks to everyone who gave helpful responses

@mck that's uncalled for man, unless you're mexican then you're just bitter 😂

Mck1- gtfo man. If you can't help someone, at least don't BS! Don't be the typical white douchebag. No one likes them. Probably why OP is looking for a desi guy!

@sa1 calm down man, don't turn into action hero Salman 😂

😂😂 .. aite aite

Lol rude. Don't think it counts as being a gold digger if I also have a good career and a good degree. I'm just holding any guy I date to the same standards as I hold myself. And yeah I think Latino guys can be really attractive and I wouldn't be opposed to dating them, but values and culture wise I feel like a desi guy is a better fit for my personality

SA1 good to know it's not a lost cause lol. I'm in NYC btw

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
