India is still an arranged-marriage culture. There's slightly more flexibility than there used to be - kids are generally allowed to reject people they don't want to marry - but the parents still bring them into the home, say "this is someone we've chosen as your spouse," and wait for them to say yes.

Also, most of the schools in India are sex-segregated. Boys and girls don't learn together.

For these reasons, Indians don't grow up learning how to flirt. They don't bother with romance and courtship. Young Indian men don't honestly know much about what any women respond positively to, let alone Western women.

And when they're on Instagram or whatever, they're speaking a language foreign to them, and while they know what the words literally mean, they're missing out on almost all the subtleties of the language.

So... yeah. Hence the aggressive, off-putting simping.

For all the talk of patriarchy, in traditional societies men are ruled by their mothers.

Indian men's whole sexuality is built around mummy issues.

Wherever you see "show bob" then "gib milk" is not far behind.

Probably because they're poor or something. Also bad English makes their messages sound even more cringey than they would otherwise.

I think their unattractive accent is one of the reasons. On egocentric media it's just text, but their real-life experiences affect their personality.

The welfare state and Industrial Revolution kept Natural Selection from winnowing out the weak majority. Thank Shiva for the caste system or it would be a lot worse.

Indians have evolved to survive an attack of microbes to the gut lining a tenth of which would kill a western man in seconds.

They are perfectly adapted to their environment, just not much else.

I think all the parasites in their guts effect them mentally.
