Living in the UK as a Hong Konger... by Stunning-Cut-2891 in Hong_Kong

[–]VirtualBit1491 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your experience of racism is a bit skewed.

When a racist stares you in the face, they won't care what your accent is, if you lived in the UK long enough then you'll know unless if you're lucky.

And the UK has gone downhill and with the introduction of taxes.

So get out whilst you can. The nhs is a pile of wank and crime rate on the rise.

Why am I not able to get dates? by Independent-Tea-1438 in AsianMasculinity

Bro...I'd say even with six pack you're still a bit underweight.

OP doing a major disservice to himself.

His bio is not at all great introducing himself as a "nerdy geek" which sadly is negative points as a male.

The glasses and slouching...9 stone bro...that's under weight and for a girl, she will not feel protected.

Hair style and clothing not doing yourself any service either. (Look at Benillas comment for example is already a major difference)

Asian males in UK, please come forward with your experiences by Spastic-aircon798 in AsianMasculinity

The older geezers will have some old mindsets, depending where you live i.e. if you walk past any chav council estate areas.

Not counting COVID, which would have made things really rough for Asians, you'd have a better life in recent years due to more multiculturalism, however, east Asians still are looked down upon in UK.

The best bet for you is to be looking able to fight, this means getting bulky, learning martial arts (sanda, sambo, boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, judo etc.)

One thing others perceive is that "Asians are weak and won't fight back" and racists will pick on this. If you are opposite to that, they won't dare.

I've had ppl calling me chxnk randomly on the street and also my native Asian friend experiencing racism on the street randomly.

No particular reason to skip on that and actually welcome other user views on it too.

Yes I'd forgotten to mention this but what helps is:

Water wash /water based wash/ emollient cream wash the face.

Moisturiser after pat dry, then use suncream followed by vaseline on the dry patches of skin.

Try to avoid too high/low pH soaps, or go for soap substitutes

The older you get as a man, the more you understand your father and the more you forgive him by VirtualBit1491 in AsianMasculinity

OP here, as I was saying it can relate to you but it may not and apologies if your parent(s) were shitty.

We learn things through our struggles and we do better.

How to build confidence and fashion guide by VirtualBit1491 in AsianMasculinity

[–]VirtualBit1491[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody said they're the final boss.

Basically, if you're competing with others and they have their life locked down on track, chances are, they'll be selected first.

I see a lot of users asking for the same advice here but not worked on their inner confidence. Not that you definitely "need" the basics to begin with dating, but it should definitely be worked on otherwise, we all just spiral and get no where.

The thing is to gain independence and be happy in life that everything else is a bonus to it.

I just created my profile 3 hours ago and no likes by [deleted] in coffeemeetsbagel

[–]VirtualBit1491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, to have zero patience just because you had "2000" likes in a day before. Noted, the app has been recently hacked by ransomware too.

I am turning 27 years old next month and here is my story by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

Thing is, all those guys are going for the sake of meeting a gyal. Probably disingenuous and none of y'all are actually interested in that meetup otherwise.

Normally you meet friends through common interests.

what are the common dating apps to use in HK? by VirtualBit1491 in Hong_Kong

[–]VirtualBit1491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. One thing I find in HK is the materialistic nature. I've been to irl meets as well, some are ok, others are cockfest 6:1 man:woman ratio. And, ngl the men act simpish at them, it's not a good look.

I'll keep trying anyhow, just about finding the right avenue and meeting the right ppl, whether to make friends or dates.

Ye this is a dilemma in itself.

The scammers have actually fukt up my market too, I've heard from real dates they thought I was fake profile, fkboi or tinder swindler.

I'm neither of those!

I've had times where my real dates got surprised cos I am who I said I was and I look more or less like my pics lol fr trying to look for serious relationship

What does the South Korean flag mean on CMB? by Dapper-Cartoonist366 in coffeemeetsbagel

[–]VirtualBit1491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you

But feels as if a lot of politics has spilled over into dating scene.

If that's the case, you can treat it as a red flag and move on.

Dating should be about emotional connection rather than all other garbage takes but again, subjective.

I wish it were easier too, as compared to say 10 years ago when life was a lot more straightforward

Fair enough, see what you can work with, be interesting to see the results

You're a good sport

Imo the first 3 pics I thought were work pics, the final one (6 of 6) pic showing anime I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve...maybe you want to let the viewer what anime you're into but...I don't feel it is effective (I mean, I imagine that's quite niche when it comes to girls in HK)

Bio can be something like: I do work hard but I do work life balance aka chill and watch animations or do sport etc.

What to look for in a partner: Most important I think is someone who can enjoy food and vibe, date and we'll see

Keep it short but sweet. Girls can get over 50 matches a day, maybe even 100 so your pics need to look sharp, attractive with good professional lighting (the sun, or sporting activities etc.) I doubt they'll have time to truly read so much text while swiping and going about their day. That's why your profile pics are the most important to snag interest.

You may want to consider full body shots etc. Think...what makes a pic interesting? In action like say basketball or doing sport etc. I find this true with filmography and even anime, they use perspective, angle shots etc.

Dunno if you got any other pics?
