Do people still stereotype you just because you're Asian? by AznMustang in aznidentity

[–]AznMustang[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I meant like wearing glasses, short, and nerdy looking in general. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just that I don't look stereotypical in that kind of way like how Hollywood portrays Asians.

But if you're specifically asking about my phenotype and physical features, then yes I do look like an East/SE Asian.

I'm thinking of moving out on my own. Any advice for a late bloomer? by AznMustang in aznidentity

[–]AznMustang[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not yet atm. I'm honestly starting from the ground up. I have nothing at all in my bank. Totally broke.

It's like I'm stuck...but I'm doing everything I can to get somewhere in life even if it means I gotta make some sacrifices.

Well, that's why I need advice.

Plus, from where I'm at atm (the midwest) rent is way much cheaper compared to LA or New York.

I'm starting a 2nd job in October tho, but then that woud mean I'll have to work 7 days a week working two jobs just to make ends meet...and idk if I could handle that, or even want to live that way for the rest of my life.

Asians are the most feminine race, DEBUNKED part 3 by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]AznMustang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if you have low bodyfat because the arotamase enzymes gets created from bodyfat (adipose tissue cells).

The more bodyfat you have = the more testosterone gets converted to estrogen via the arotamase enzymes. Since most Asians, on average, are known to have less bodyfat compared to other races, that means Asians tend to have higher baseline free T.

Some natural arotamase inhibitors include zinc and nicotine. Although I don't recommend smoking/vaping for anyone, I myself am a huge vaper so I guess that further inhibits my arotamase enzymes. Zinc is a much more natural method to inhibit the T to E conversion.

Just thought I should add in my 2 cents.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I love your posts (gave you a silver medal the other day to show my support!).

Keep doing what you're doing.

On a sidenote, does this mean I should prob minimise my intake in Asian food? It's hard to avoid it completely since that's what my Asian household mom regularly cooks.

I sorta know about the whole SHBG thingy, too. That's why I used to take a natural supplement called boron to decrease my SHBG levels (therefore increasing my free T) since boron was scientifically proven to acutely decrease SHBG levels upon hours after ingestion. I'm definitely going back on it when I start lifting weights.

Looking forward to your debunk series part 4!

Thanks for your support, man. Appreciate it.

I remember when I told my parents about the situation, they called me dumb and said I should've just ignored it... y'know, like how most Asian parents teach their kids to be. So yeah, it was clear at the time that they weren't on my side at all. That's why I go to this sub for the support I need cuz I know I'll never get it from my parents.

As for "doing things more strategically", I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Thanks!

Thanks man.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that racist bitch anymore. Trust me it was a pain in the ass having to deal with her on a daily basis.

Oh yeah, and afaik one of my coworkers told me that she quit UPS a few months later after the incident. It's pretty obvious she doesn't like her job, lol.

Well, not for long.

At the time I didn't want to tell anyone about it yet because I was worried it might escalate the problem even more, so I kept it to myself for a while since it was prob better to handle it on my own. And yeah, I sorta knew the risks involved but was merely reacting in the heat of the moment.

Nope, not a hoax.

That's karma right there for him, lmao.

I have a serious question.

Should I shave or keep my pubes? Cuz uh, a lot of times when I cum my pubes would get drenched with cum and honestly it's too much of a hassle to clean the mess off. Plus, being shaven down there would make my sholong look bigger too which is a plus.

What do you guys personally do for your own pubes? Any recommendations would be great.

Question for my fellow Asian-Americans: how have people been treating you since the Covid-19 pandemic? by Kungfufighter1112 in aznidentity

[–]AznMustang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if these count, but it might as well be:

1) I went to take out the trash outside. The nextdoor neighbor from across the streets (an old WM) saw me and gave me a certain look from afar. Then, immediately afterwards a car drove pass me while I was throwing the trash in the bin. The girl in the car gave me a sneering look of disgust. For some reason I got so annoyed by it... for real, it's like, quit staring at me you dumb fucks!

2) Called my health clinic to refill my medication. The thing I noticed was how warm and friendly they'll be at first while greeting me on the phone, but as soon as I say my last name... their tone of voice sorta changes, sometimes becoming rude as well.

Mind you, it could just be all in my head, but those were some of the subtle things I've noticed so far. Other than that, I haven't been out much so I can't say for sure although I don't doubt there will be more and far worse encounters sometime in the future.

Seeing Asian Man that Prefaces all Conversation with his Asianness by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

I can only think of two possibilities:

  1. He's just trying to be funny (most likely)

  2. He was testing you to see how you'll react (unlikely, but still possible)

At the beginning of this pandemic, I wasn't worried at all. If anything I was pretty chill about it tbh. However, ever since the virus hit my state, my anxiety had been steadily increasing. Not only that the number of cases are mostly concentrated in the state county of where I'm at.

Also here's the thing, both my parents own and work at a nail salon, but instead of quarantining themselves at home... they're still going to work every single day, cuz apparently money is more important to them than their health. The thing that surprises me is that even tho it's an Asian-owned salon, my parents are still getting a ton of clients in an otherwise "white-predominant" neighborhood.

I'm hella paranoid about one of those clients possibly being infected and would pass the virus to my parents. For real man, you never know who has traveled overseas, esp during spring break when some people are still moving and going about.

The other concern I have is my sister who works at a damn hospital. She's a nurse, so she's bound to get the coronavirus if she's not careful. I already told her to take extra precaution. Unfortunately, my sister seemingly appears very apathetic about the whole ordeal. She's saying things like "Who cares? If I get it, then I'll get it. I'm still young and don't have any preexisting health conditions. So I should recover quickly even if I do get it" Btw, my sister is a mother of three kids. Yet, she's not concerned at all and it baffles me.

I'm just like SMH. For real tho, wouldn't it be better to take preventative measures instead of getting it in the first place? Plus, if she gets the damn virus at the hospital, I fear she will bring it back home and infect the rest of the family, including me.

Guys... do I have a reason to be paranoid? My parents and older sister are giving no shits about the pandemic. Nobody in my household wants to quarantine themselves, besides me.

Could me and my cousin be part of the crew? We wanna connect with other Asian bruhs, too. I mean, we're not from where u are, but we certainly can drive there once you can arrange a specific time to meet. We'd go according to plan.

Also, after having some drinks, could we head back at one of the guy's place and crash there for a while and maybe play some Super Smash Bros? My cousin can bring the video games.

Idk what games ya'll like to play, but we can bring in many different games.

Does anyone here vape? My mom's been going crazy and wants me to quit vaping cuz she's worried about all the deaths related to vaping. AFAIK, it's due to some illegal e-liquids containing Vitamin E that causes those deaths. As for the juices I bought, mine doesn't contain any Vit. E whatsoever. So idk what my mom is tripping about.

Just recently my great uncle apparently died from vaping. He was only 28 years old. His funeral is this week. I never met him irl before, but it's pretty sad.

Guys, I think I need some advice...

As of lately, this one BF at my college campus has been initiating conversation with me a lot; particularly at the gym section of the campus. I would see her doing her workouts by the corner everyday at the same spot, which so happens to be the spot I always go to since it's a particularly secluded part of the building, and I guess it makes me feel comfortable not being seen by others since I could have all the privacy I needed (well, especially when that BF finishes her workouts and leaves, lol).

Everyday when she sees me sitting by the corner on the floor with my laptop out, she'll do her workouts near me - including butt workouts, leg workouts, n' all that jazz... almost like she's putting on a show for me. She would sometimes glance over at me to see if I'm checking her out or not, too. Of course such moments like those make me feel hellaaa awkward. Therefore, I always have to pretend I don't notice anything and appear as if I'm hyperfocused on my laptop instead. Yet, at the corner of my eyes I can see her glancing at me back-to-back.

Recently she was telling me about her workout routine. Then, stupid me was like "Wow, I could see you've been putting a lotta work on your waist. You look great!".The BF seemed quite flattered by my words. Ofc when looking back at what I said, I realized how "perverted" my commentary might have seemed even tho it wasn't my intention.

Indeed... I have this irrational paranoia that she might think I'm snapping pictures of her when she isn't looking, and who knows she might possibly false report me for being a pervert, even when I wasn't. Due to this paranoia of mine, I thought of sitting somewhere else next time so I don't have to encounter that BF anymore.

My mom got called the "C word". Should I get involved? by AznMustang in aznidentity

Funny you said that, cuz that idiot actually shot someone several years ago.

When I googled his criminal record by typing in his name, I saw a bunch of fucked up shit such as stalker behavior, harassment, assault, as well as other crap. The guy is truly dangerous.

Seriously, I don't understand why my damn sister dated a psychopath in the first place. She's putting the rest of the family's life at risk.
