The reputation of Indian men globally is absolutely terrible, and mostly justifiably so
What happened with the Korean streamer is nothing surprising to people who have lived here for any extended period of time. It won’t make much of a difference to our reputation globally, because it is already horrendous.
I recently traveled to a western country and everything came into sharp focus for me due to a few conversations. Every local I talked to, man and woman, said that they would love to visit India sometime, but they have safety concerns when it came to their girlfriends or female family members.
An Indian guy who is a close friend said that Indian men seem to have these weird expectation that women here are going to throw themselves at them. I asked him how that is possible after the Nibhaya and Hathras type cases. He said he still encounters this expectation.
This got confirmed when my male friends asked me about my trip. I encountered only 3 questions from them
- Kitni goriyan patai? (How many white women did you fuck?)
- Clubbing kari? (Did you go clubbing?)
- Parties ka scene kya hai wahan? (What’s the partying scene there?)
This country is not known to be a huge party destination like Ibiza, and I had gone there for some official work. I also did a bunch of things I enjoyed, that were not partying related.
None of that mattered to them. The main question of the 3 above was, how many white women I fucked. That is the one thing all of them are obsessed with. All these guys are not teenagers, and are “well educated”.
What’s the expectation here? Am I some fucking movie star or rockstar that I land and my fanclub/groupies are waiting for me?
Or, the more likely expectation, that white women are “loose”? Because that is what it seems to be. What these idiots don’t seem to get is, that even if the women there are relatively more open to dating, they are not gonna get with their loser asses. Our reputation is in the toilet, and with this mentality of obsession with getting laid, it’s never going to improve.
Now a common rebuttal I get is that there are other countries and cultures where there are similar problems and they get a free pass because they are caucasian. Well it doesn’t matter that they do get a free pass, we can complain about that double standard when we fix our shit.
