The problem is intense here, he says, for a handful of reasons. Vancouver (lacking the genial bars and clubs of cities such as New York and Toronto) doesn't have a dating culture; plus, Vancouverites compound the situation by going everywhere in packs rather than pairing off on dates. Asian men, who account for almost half his clientele, have been brought up by their parents to feel shy and unworthy-values that aren't useful when it comes to dating in North America.

It's sad because this is true. Most Asian males grow up with somewhat low self-esteem. In a Chinese family, compliments are rare. Discussions about dating even rarer. We grow up having no idea how to deal with women.
That being said, I've noticed that more often than not, girls I've met from Vancouver seem easy to flirt with. I can sorta see what the writer in this article is talking about with those I've met. If you joke with them, high five, give them hugs or whatever, and they just seem to eat it right up, as if they've been deprived of it for ages.
