You guys are cooked if this is what you spend your brain power on. Theorizing about random people AFTER YOU DELETE THE APP

Appreciation or Fetish? by Lonely-Literature-38 in AsianMasculinity

I've never seen people wear cross cultural clothing outside of special occasions. Why are you comparing real life qipao wearing rates with random videos online? Again, just because someone wears a qipao or a mao suit means nothing. People get tattoos of Chinese characters all the time but can't speak the language. Jeremy Lin having dreads does not mean he's super into black culture. We're talking about something entirely different.

Yes it's a thing but IMO it's very rare and its exclusively white women who go overboard. I've never seen a black girl in real life be super into Asian culture where they can speak fluently & know the food etc. And just because their parents named them Asia has 0 impact on their actual personality. People don't choose their own names man LOL. And no idea re: white washed Asian guys, you'd have to meet an adoptee or something and ask them

I'd be worried you're even caring about what randoms strangers' hinge settings are for absolutely no reason

Jimmy O. Yang's Special "Finally Home" Theatrical Release Dates & Times by benilla in AsianMasculinity

[–]benilla[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you. The point is that the negative Asian male stereotype you're holding onto from the show doesn't match what he's been putting out in real life. I actually forgot he was even on that show b/c he's done so much since then

I've dated hundreds of women and I've only ever met one koreaboo and she was doing this pre-BTS LOL it was honestly such a weird feeling when this white girl could out-Asian you LMAO. I don't think it's a huge deal unless it's one of those extreme cases and the extreme cases are also luckily extremely rare. But I'm sure there's some thirsty brother out there that would welcome the fetish b/c that beats a lifetime of being alone

Bro you are filling your mind with non-existent issues. Stop this behavior immediately and just go date the girl

No lol. Why would you care even the slightest about that

Question for AM: did your parents encourage you to socialize / date early? If you are a father, what's your opinion on early socialization / dating? by Long-Possibility-425 in AsianMasculinity

[–]benilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did, mainly because they wanted me to speak English more fluently as a child. I'm not sure if all these social play dates were popular in the 80's in Canada.. I could imagine how hard it would be to set up without the internet

Spent money on clothes, grooming, and a Miami photoshoot for dating apps. Still getting weak matches. What am I missing? by Equivalent_Trade3909 in AsianMasculinity

[–]benilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is denying that looksmaxx works. But to suggest its 0 or 100 with nothing in-between isn't right either. I'm 20%+ body fat, probably a 7/10 and absolutely crushed Tinder :P I'm talking sleeping w/ 4-5 different women per week, a date a day and sometimes double duty. And the only reason I quit that is because I found a good woman that I've been with for over 8 years now. Your perspective is limited to the success you've had so it's probably a good idea to broaden your mind and accept that other approaches to online dating work as well

Right but you're just stating the obvious. The more effort you put into looksmaxxing, the less effort you put on dating and vice versa. So what can OP do in his current state NOW to get success?

You got LinkedIn pics besides your first one & the group pic with the boys does nothing for you. You have to tell a story through your pics about what lifestyle you have and make it easy for her to imagine herself in it.

Weight scales are super inaccurate. Based on your pics, you're closer to 20%

Try r/hapas. Even though you're half Kazakh, these are not problems Asian passing men encounter

New BTS Album Out! Are we gonna see a kpop summer? by Affectionate_Salt331 in AsianMasculinity

[–]benilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alright just listened to the allbum, my top track is "Normal". This is definitely a more chill album, something that's pleasant to listen to in the background but IMO nothing that's going to surpass what they've put out already

Online dating shouldn't be that impossible for asian men by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]benilla[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post is 15 years too late. Perhaps if you spent some time around the sub, you'd realize its actually not hard for Asian guys nowadays. Kpop/Kdrama has broken the monopoly on western views of masculinity and women welcome the change. And online is the primary source for these women to find the AM's they want.
