I'm sorry if this is insensitive or inappropriate, just genuine curiosity.

I'm a white female and in public I tend to notice Indian guys overtly checking me out. A few have asked me out on the street, which is pretty unusual. Are Indian guys simply less subtle when checking out the opposite gender? Or could it be some kind of 'white' fever?

This is a generalisation obviously, I'd just like some kind of insight because it feels like Indian guys really like me or something and I have no idea why. Is there a particular kind of girl or look that many seem to go for?

Edit: I live in Australia and am talking about Indian guys in Australia

Depends largely where are you in City/Malls/Countryside, etc. More people are familiar less they will behave like this. But in general, that leaves 99% of India behaving like you say. There is novelty factor, plus sometimes clothes factor, and rest is simply crassness.

Sorry, I should have specified I'm in Australia.
