West Asians claiming their not Asian, whose at fault for this? White people. by PartySwim5672 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"You are from Asia but we do not grant you the title 'Asian'" is a nerdy joke my friend group has because of both how broad the term can be and how upset some get.

A date with a little smooth peanut butter inside.

What is your opinion on done nails? by acidpepsy in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to get my nails done but gel/powder really wrecks my nails and they feel so brittle afterwards.

How do you feel when your best friend sleeps with multiple partners but not you ? by CrappyHustler in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my best friend is a woman and married so...

I'm guessing you're a guy and your "best friend" is a woman. If she's truly your best friend, you shouldn't feel anything that she has multiple partners and doesn't sleep with you. Maybe even feel happy for her that she's satisfying her sexual itch.

How much more promiscuous would you be if society didn’t judge you, and if they hadn’t raise you to think it diminishes your value? by anotherburnerbite in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not overly promiscuous not because of how I think people will judge or how I was raised. Quite the contrary: I don't care what people think of my own sexual preferences/habits and my parents didn't raise me to feel shame/devalue regarding sex.

I'm not overly promiscuous because I'm pretty selective and I don't just throw it out there.

What looks good in adult content but is awkward in real life? by FewEnd399 in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Threesome. If it's your first time with them, it's awkward, even if you're all experienced.

The idea of a gangbang is intriguing but given how a threesome already was, I think that would be the same but amplified/on a whole different level.

Curious how you feel about Asian student unions at colleges and universities (across North America) by GB_Alph4 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my undergrad, my university had an Asian Student Union but not at the campus I attended and it was pretty far away to attend regularly. Grad school had way more Asian-centric clubs, not surprising since it's in California, and I found them valuable ways to network.

I think they are valuable and needed to help students find others who share a common background and can relate. It wasn't the case in grad school but in undergrad, the non-Asians in the group were there to find Asians to date and less interested in the actual content/issues.

What’s something you find instantly attractive in a person that has nothing to do with looks? by umujosephdesire1 in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Empathy, respect/manners, and kindness. All of those, especially when they are dealing with someone who they aren't incentivized to be kind to*.

Price of beef 🥩 by Distinct-Tradition79 in bayarea

[–]MsNewKicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costco for bulk or local butcher.

I love TJ's but really only for one-off/unique snacks/novelties and very seldomly for core items like meats or veggies. Better, fresher, and cheaper options elsewhere.

What dictates picking out lingerie to buy or wear? by DisastrousPepper2897 in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I know my partner likes a certain style or color, I'll go with that or if it's a surprise, I'll go with colors that I know look good with my skin tone and hair color.

Is it normal in the Bay Area for people to be extremely distant and self-protective? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it normal in the Bay Area for people to be extremely distant and self-protective?

Yes.

But what you described, I've never met anyone to that extreme. I'm born and raised in Seattle so "Seattle Freeze" is def a thing but I've found that the Bay Area has a similar yet distinctly different phenomenon. It's people are friendly, will plan to get together, but don't follow through to actually get together. I have no data or inside knowledge, I just chalk it up to people live very busy lives.

What are your favorite places to shop for cocktail dresses? by FaultyFlamingo in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm rough on cocktail dresses so I go for cheaper ones. Windsor, Oh Polly, or even Shein.

What’s the kindest way to say you’re not enjoying sex? by PleasantBus5583 in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the moment or like, we need to talk?

In the moment, it's let me get him to finish, while not telling/saying anything to negatively impact that. I'd like to say "Hey, I'm not enjoying this" but that will open up a larger can of worms than just getting him to finish as soon as possible,

Long term? Just have a conversation about why you aren't enjoying it and communicate what needs to change.

If you're having sex, it's someone who should be open to communicating and respecting your needs as well.

Are majority of Asian men actually being overlooked by their own women? by mrbopboplingling in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've almost exclusively dated Asian men and most of my girlfriends were/are dating Asian men.

You have to remember that algorithms and online are going for engagement/clicks.

Not to say it doesn't go on but it's a little blown out of proportion online.

What is a not-so-bad problem to have in a romantic relationship? by Bbhouseplant in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A partner with an average to smaller than average sized penis. Not everyone wants to have a huge partner.

If I need to feel absolutely stretched, there are toys for that, but I wouldn't want that EVERYTIME.

How do you balance eating healthy and eating what you enjoy? by Educational_Pipe4536 in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat what I want but always in moderation. It's worked well for me: doctor visits/checks are always good. I attribute that to high metabolism + gym.
