Microcosms

I was at a hip-hop club last weekend and this particular time was fascinating. Sometimes, it's interesting to just sit back and watch what happens at a club. First, it's very obvious who's there for what reason. Some people are just out dancing with their friends (although I tend to think that there's always some level of ulterior motive). Others are there to listen to music. And then there are those who are there to make their move. Watching this latter group is the most interesting, and at a hip-hop club, almost anything goes. It's not a problem to find a girl (or guy) who's perfectly willing to freak with a total stranger. It's strange to be able to make that superficial connection for a song or two, and then break it off and soon, disappear, possibly forever (if you don't get their number).

One thing I have noticed at clubs is that it seems more difficult for the Asian men to get in on the action. Black men have no difficulty at all. Women of all sorts have luck also. Do Asian men just have too much stacked against them? Is it a function of race/appearance or personality?
