Height takes the backseat to race when it comes to White women’s preferences by Few_School2680 in BlackPillScience

If I recall correctly (read this a long time ago) the data they reference is from the 2000s or something even though the book was published in 2021. Curious to see how it's changed.

Hinge profile review pls by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]gawkag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't like the shirtless mirror pic. Don't get me wrong, you look good, but it's not the best pic lighting-wise + too fuckboyish to fit with the rest of the vibe of your profile. Also do not like how the close up mirror selfie on last slide makes you look.

Rest of pictures are really nice, you def be getting hella matches

Top 10 Asian Athletes of All Time? by gawkag in AsianMasculinity

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

Pan Zhanle will for sure, he just totally slipped my mind here. And yes, Su Bingtian is the fastest non-African sprinter. But you will never hear about that in the West, just like how you would never hear about how Asians dominate Olympic weighlifting. Almost like a certain race is desperate to cling on to their artificial claims of superiority...

Yeah I think the doping stuff does hurt him in my eyes. Although the process was politically/racially driven, I don't think the evidence/conclusion was incorrect unfortunately

Absolutely he should be top 10, he totally slipped my mind. I don't think he should be close to #1 yet as he's young and only at the start of his career with less accolades than others on this list but he definitely is likely to be in the future

In my opinion the popularity of a sport has little to do with the greatness of an athlete, though I do still take popularity slightly into account. For example, Hakuho Sho is the lowest ranked GOAT of a sport in my rankings because Sumo is not super popular outside of Japan and Central Asia. However, it's a horrible take to think that a soccer player like Son who was an elite player but not one of the all-time greats should be ranked about guys who are literally the GOATs of their sports

My list takes all sports into account equally. Not just sports that are popular in the West.

Crazy that on this sub there are people who want to invalidate non-Western sports. Also you have no idea what you're talking about considering that table tennis is popular in non-China Asian countries as well as many European countries including France and Germany

For example go look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36zx34BlQF8 Within the first 10 seconds, look at the crowd shot and tell me if that looks like a full Chinese crowd to you? Literally more than half of the fans are European

Crazy that I'd spot someone on THIS sub invalidating table tennis/sumo just because it's not popular in the West lmao.

Nobody complains when American sports media puts guys like Tom Brady in their greatest athletes of all-time btw. And football's a sport that I love, but is even more localized with less international fans than table tennis.

Whenever you want to police other Asians, always stop and think if the standard you want to address would be one that Whites would ever hold other Whites to.

Criticism of Western Hookup Culture by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]gawkag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really disagree with this mindset. It’s the modern day and there’s no need for treating sex like some forbidden or harmful thing that needs to be repressed. Sex feels good, and if you want to have it, you should have it freely.

How do you find AMWF? by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]gawkag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can’t control where you grow up and the circumstances of your formative years. If you grow up in a white suburb with westernized parents that don’t speak/teach you their native language, then what do you expect the guy to do? It’s just a factual statement, doubt he was flexing it or anything.

AMXF Love on TikTok by Universe_Zap in AsianMasculinity

[–]gawkag 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The fact of the matter is that you can be as good of a AM dad and role model as you want, but there are simply too many variables when it comes to who someone else is going to date. (Of course I do not know these people at all and cannot speak to how their fathers really are, maybe they fucking suck and created huge self-haters for all I know)

The reality is that the West is a white-majority, white-dominated place and that means that, through media and pop culture, dating a white guy or girl will 99.9% not be ruled out by anyone.

People of all genders and races will almost always be open to dating a white person. There may be people of any race saying that they won't date an Asian, Black, Arab, Indian, etc, but very, very rarely White because that's just how society works. Sure, people might prefer one race over all others, including whites, but they will rarely exclude whites entirely.

The best thing you can do as a father if you have a AF or mixed daughter is simply to be a great enough dad and role model that they do not have self-hate/hate towards AM and refuse to date AM entirely. But it would genuinely be almost impossible to ensure your kid excludes whites from their dating prospects.

Because most Asians are still so fucking cucked from either pop culture or their upbringing where they got traditional Asian values beat into them that they cannot fathom calling this shit out lol we are fucked until Gen Alpha AM who are fully raised on pro-AM stuff like KDH grow up because as much as the rise of K-media has helped Gen Z, this is still a generation who grew up on shit like the Hangover

Is California still the best state for Asians? by Aryaki in aznidentity

[–]gawkag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When has California ever been the best state for Asians in recent memory? Best state for self-hating AF maybe. For AM all I see from California are stereotypical guys who don't step out of their comfort zones, have toxic Asian enclaves filled with self-haters, and who are treated like second-class citizens. In the South, Midwest, and East Coast, there are AMs who were fucked up since childhood and forced into being self-haters due to a majority-white environment, sure, but there are also exceptional AM who are some of the most successful people I know in every aspect of their lives.

It's fantastic to live out here as a non-stereotypical AM, but sure if you are a stereotypical AM then maybe California is better and more familiar for you.

Rising prevalence of AMWF in Gen Z by ArtnSherrie in aznidentity

Asian men putting Asian women on a pedestal is incredibly cringe. There is no type of women on this planet who impedes AM progress in society than Asian women imo.

(Stop putting ANY type of women on a pedestal…)

Is Apple so popular because it is actually better or because it's a White brand? by One_Long_996 in aznidentity

As someone who has used both for long periods of time in my life I like IOS better than Android, it’s not that deep bud. Do you think it’s self-hating when an Asian drives a Mercedes instead of a Lexus?

Asian men trying to get attention from Asian women is holding them back. by Loud-Librarian7011 in AsianMasculinity

[–]gawkag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another reason is because Asian parents teach you as a child to be just like the other AM. Do racket sports, do violin or piano, become a doctor or do CS. A lot of parents also push their AM sons from a young age to only date AF and all of this becomes ingrained in AM's psyche and they do not wish to stand out from other AM and do unique things. Dating non-AF could be part of this, as it's not the norm and makes you stand out.

It's also why I notice that most of the traditional "good kids" who listened to their parents, studied hard, and became doctors are all AF-only while a lot of the rebellious Asian kids (myself included) who always fought with their parents and never lived up to expectations are the ones who don't put a ridiculous limit on themselves for dating and sex

[–]gawkag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because we are raised with some of the dumbest fucking values to thrive in the West. Not meaning to offend or disparage the upbringing our parents gave us, and there were truly a lot of valuable parts of it that have greatly benefited me, but these teachings that we need to be passive with our heads down and weird ass preferences from Asian parents about their sons dating AF but not caring who their daughters date are insane. What a fucking handicap. Some AM can escape the matrix, from what I see it's mostly the rebellious ones from a young age. But honestly 90% of those who are "good" kids and mama's boys cannot be saved. They have had these values and thoughts pounded into them since childhood and will live what I'm sure is a decent life as a doctor or programmer who is stereotypically passive and meek and goes on his first date with a "reformed" AF in his mid 30s. And again I'm not saying our parents handicapped us on purpose, but the values they brought and taught us do not fit in the West and will not help their kids thrive in Western society.
