Clickbang! and the box shuts up. There's just this thing about Indian guys (from India no less, because local Indians are pretty much a fine bunch) in chatrooms. No I am not racist as much as my first statement is made out to be and yes they are very much a put-off crowd. If this matters, I happen to have real-life good friends from India whom I enjoy hanging out with. The objective reader must now understand this is not about some personal grudge against a couple of Indians who made bad, very bad moves in private messages. This is about Indians flooding chatrooms clearly not labelled 'Tamil Nadu' or 'Delhi Global Chat', the online equivalent of walking down a street and having dozens of strangers pouncing on you. This is about Indians who after a hasty introduction, make no effort to sound any less desperate in attempting to date females. This is about Indians who think bragging about fast cars and lotsa money can put an end to their lonely expat/Indian lives. This is about Indians who so claim they are 'white' or intentionally refrain from revealing their South Asian roots until the received photo loads up to be distinctively Indian. While I do pity the few good Indians who unfortunately have to put up with the infamous reputation their fellow kinsmen have built up, I clearly have enough of the rest, of their deceptively innocent hi s, or rather lies. Stay clear, I bite. I don't even feel like going to chatrooms anymore.
