I know what's wrong. I 'm a short Asian guy and girls are not attracted. As simple as that.
Man, being an average white male give you already 10 times more chance than me. I'm tired of advice from people who do not have the same disadvantages and give lessons like they know better.
It sounds like you have a real negative attitude/chip on your shoulder - it's likely that many girls will be able to detect that and it will rightly turn them off. Also, it's just not productive to get worked up about things that you can't really do anything about.
As I've repeatedly said, if you think looks/physical attractiveness is the most important thing for a guy then you're either blind or totally oblivious to what goes on around you. I know and have seen loads of Asian guys (various types), including short guys (many Asians are on the short side anyway) with gf's or wives - including white girls. Surely you must too?
However there is one thing you can do to improve your physical attractiveness which you clearly haven't done - get ripped. It obviously has many other benefits too, particularly health wise (as long as you don't overdo it). Other things you can do are obviously "fundamentals" such as grooming, scent and clothing etc.
I'm decently confident and I have lots of female friends, or at least acquaintance. I have a good social life and go out with friends few times a week.
"Decently confident" doesn't sound very confident. A confident person wouldn't use a qualifier like you did, it sounds like you still have a bit of work to do in that department (which again, will obviously help you in a whole host of areas not just dating).
You know what, last year, just to prove to my friend his advice was wrong, I did everything he recommended to be more popular on tinder. I adjusted name, age, description, posed for pictures, created some cool hobbies, paid for the premium account.
And still nothing. I only match with adverts and girls who liked by mistake. I ended up having an argument with him because he said I was ungrateful from his help. But what help? It didn't produce any results!!!
You already went into that with a very negative mindset - "to prove your friend wrong" - that's not going to be helpful and even if it was the best advice it was probably doomed to fail - at the very least subconsciously you won't have been motivated to put in the proper effort to get the most out of it. Also, your friend's advice sounds decent but not great. You've missed the 2 most important points about Tinder:
1) I assume you just made improvements to your existing tinder account rather than creating a whole new one (using a new facebook profile or phone number). Doing that was a big mistake because Tinder assigns you a rating (known as an ELO score) which is based on numerous things - one of which is how many girls swipe right on you. Since I presume you were having little success when you started, even if you make improvements, it's an uphill battle to improve your ELO score. You'd be much better off starting a new Tinder account (using a new fb or phone number). The loss in mutual friends appearing will have minimal effect. Also note that if you swipe right on everyone (or more than 80% of girls) then your ELO score is very likely to take a massive dive and it will severely restrict your ability to get matches and certainly good ones.
2) Your photos are almost the only thing that matter on Tinder. On average, you only get about 0.5-1 second to make an impression so they really need to be great - particularly your first one - your first photo will make or break Tinder for you. Just saying you "posed for pictures" is meaningless and the fact that's almost all you said on the matter suggests you don't fully appreciate the importance of them on Tinder (on other dating sites they're important but less so and in real life looks are much less important). I'd strongly recommend getting professional pictures taken. I don't mean photos taken in a studio and airbrushed (you're not a bloody prossie) - I mean intriguing shots taken outside with a good camera and someone behind it who knows exactly what they're doing and how to get the best out of you. They should know exactly what the photos are for too. There are even companies that specialise in "dating photography". If you want a link to one of them, plus a link to learn more about my first point, feel free to PM me.
A final point, Tinder Gold could be worthwhile so you don't miss out on anyone who has swiped right on you before you have. Also, use the free boost you get wisely. Research shows one of the best times to use it is Sunday evening because that's usually when Tinder has the most users online. In my experience it is rather effective.
So stop looking! Love is blind, if you look for it, you can't find it, it will find you.
Good advice, especially since girls can pretty much "smell" desperation and neediness, which is obviously a big turn off. One tip could be to have a punt before going on a night out. Because you're not so horny and hopefully not still desperate, many girls will find your "0 fucks given" attitude and the fact that you're just out for fun (and fun can take a variety of forms
) to be refreshing and attractive.
