based on my other experience with many my asian guy friend, they seem really admire white girls ( include polish girl of course ), they often set white girl picture in their desktop wallpaper and cell phone wallpaper, ask me about my white girl friends, decorate their room with white girl celebrity poster, etc .
so they don't like Shilpa Shetty :)
btw it seems you're rather jealous your Asian friend fancies your 'unattractive' Polish friend but not you
They sometime just too shy and don't have any brave to ask the girl ( including the handsome miroslav klose look ha2 ). I don't know, probably their asian culture make them a little bit shy, i just think sometime that they don't realize their charm :)
ohhhhhh the things you would do to him if he asked YOU out
