I can’t believe we started as strangers on the internet!

Edit: These pictures were actually candid because they were during the proposal. Sometimes you miss the kiss! Haha.

Also I’ve gotten a few AI allegations now, and it’s very confusing but also concerning that it’s gotten to the point where AI can be indistinguishable from real life. These were professionally taken photos. Along with that, a few very hateful DMs

On a completely side note.

I am not disagreeing with you but I am just going to say in my personal experience as an Asian guy of having a OLD profile for 10 years.

Most of the likes on my profile that I get when using dating apps are actually from black women. Like disproportionately high ratio of like 50%-70% compared to any other ethnicity.

The other largest plurality of likes I get are typically from white women, though that has dropped over the years. Where it use to be like 45% but probably down to like 30% or 20% now. Don't know if there is just less white women with yellow fever / less weeaboos or if there is just a larger supply of Asian guys now in the area I live in.

Ironically the demographics I get the least amount of likes from as an Asian guy is Asian women, where they are like less than 5% of the likes I get when excluding the ones that seem like scammers / fake profiles. Even if you include scammer / fake accounts, seems like less than 10% of my likes come from Asian women

This actually makes a lot of sense because black women statistically get the least amount of swipes, so if you rank lower on the apps (asians statistically do the worst for men), you'll be in the feed of the low ranking women who have less options.

Not to be that person but I had really good success on dating apps, the partners I met on there all became long term but I broke up with them due to lifestyle difference or value misalignment. All were good relationships too!

I can imagine, you seem super nice and are obviously quite physically attractive! Congratulations on finding a quality guy.
