Your article kept me engaged through to the end. A powerful piece that needed to be written. Thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life and giving me some insight into what it's like to be a male model and Asian man in the dating world. Parts of your story resonate with me because of the way I felt about my own facial features such as not having the "double eyelid" like my white friends, and how it affected my self-confidence and self-esteem when I grew up. I wrote about this in my story called, "The Power of White: Undoing White Power to Embrace My Chinese Skin." https://medium.com/@marychang_10894/the-power-of-white-deeda8266382?sk=e2f196b7212740f266b3a97fbb64b5fd
