I am Hispanic (but don't look white) and a funny thing has happened to me in the last year or so. What has happened is that I have started to really look into the cities that I would like to live in the future. Not just look into in terms of costs but also in terms of culture, dating culture, race relations, quality of women, and most importantly how men of my background would do on the dating scene there.
A few months ago I had this amazing job opportunity in Arizona but at the last second decided not to take it because of the horror stories I've heard about being a Hispanic man there. Visited a few times and noticed just by people watching how I saw latinas with white guys but didn't see it the other way around which told me that Hispanic guys must have it tough there. It seemed like Hispanic guys in general were not doing so well there.
It's not just that, some of these areas I would legit love to live in like Colorado for example but I have to really see how I fit into that state or city. I have heard how in Colorado, a lot of people tend to look down on "Mexicans" and that makes some of the hot girls there avoid Hispanic men unless of course the latino looks white.
I have come to realize that the state/city and its culture have such a big impact on dating for us guys who are not white. Even if we are cool and above average, we still seem to have a hard ceiling in certain areas. I always felt like if I was to move to Arizona, I would have a low ceiling and be stuck fighting for scraps solely based off of my ethnic appearance while in some other states it wouldn't be that way.
Currently I am deciding between Chicago, Seattle, and NYC for the future.
Has anyone else really started to pay attention to this sort of stuff?
