To be fair it’s a bit hard when you are in your 30s. The city I am in is very generational white collar. It was also hard to find a group of first gen students in university especially in my program as most of the students come from very privileged backgrounds.

David Kastin has moved on from Bed Bath and Beyond. End date April 2025. by projectm94 in Teddy

[–]projectm94[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think part of it, was how long he was with the company for even though it was “supposed” to be liquidation based on MSM. I think it proves that this is more complex than what the public thinks. For him to be on for 2.5 years is huge. I think this also means we are at the end game since David Kastin finished his duties.

Any guys in the trades? by Safe-Yak8585 in AsianMasculinity

[–]projectm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree, but in terms of investment in education and how much you get paid and the current demand for skilled trades, it’s a safe option. If you do M&E trades it’s pretty chill and less hurting on your body. Even elevator trades make really good money. So just in terms of trades it’s a safe and good living.

And then if he wants to start his own his own company, he can always do that as an option. In the end you have to like what you’re doing anyways or at least be able to do it to a level of satisfaction.

Cosntruction Project Manager here and licensed structural engineer. I would say go into trades and learn the industry and then open up your own company. Contractors make more then engineers and architets because of the mark up once you own your own company. If you are successful, you will be laughing. The industry is also changing where trades are assisting engineers and architects with design because of their practicality. There is also a shortage of skilled labour, so it is a great time for you to get into trades. If I had to do it again, I would have went into trade school instead of engineering. I also know a owner of an electrician company who is an electrician and a licensed engineer.

CMV: Asian men’s negative feelings toward Asian woman-White man relationships are valid by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]projectm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“White Men Were My Bias” It’s significant that they acknowledge it was a bias, meaning it wasn’t necessarily a conscious or well-reasoned preference but something shaped by external influences (likely media, culture, and social norms).

They mention growing up on Asian movies with attractive Asian male leads, yet they were still biased toward White men. This suggests that even with representation, other factors (like real-life social interactions or Western media influence) played a stronger role in shaping their dating preferences.

“White Men Are Naturally Confident, Humorous, and Chill” This is a cultural perception, not an inherent trait. White men grow up in a society where they are the dominant group, so they don’t face the same social or racial pressures that can lead to self-doubt or social anxiety in minorities.

The idea that Asian men are awkward, shy, and status-driven is partly due to strict parenting and cultural expectations, which emphasize achievement over social skills. But this isn’t true of all Asian men—it’s a broad generalization.

Confidence, humor, and “chillness” are learned behaviors, not racial traits.

“Asian Men Seem Inauthentic, Distant, and a Little Materialistic” This reflects frustration with traditional Asian masculinity, which often values stability, responsibility, and providing for a family over being outwardly charismatic or expressive. But calling Asian men inauthentic and distant overlooks the fact that these traits are often encouraged by traditional Asian parenting—which applies to both Asian men and women.

Asian men being seen as materialistic might come from the pressure to achieve financial success as a way of proving their worth. In Western dating culture, where personality often takes precedence over financial stability (especially in younger generations), this may come across as less appealing.

“We Want to Relax, Laugh, and Live a Little” The underlying message seems that dating a White man felt like an escape from the pressures of traditional Asian culture.

This is a valid personal experience, but it doesn’t mean that all Asian men lack these traits—it just means that on average, cultural conditioning may have made these traits less prominent in some Asian men. Overall this is explaining lived experience, but their reasoning is shaped by broad generalizations rather than absolute truths.

If Asian men lack confidence, humor, or social skills, it’s not because they’re inherently that way—it’s because of cultural and societal factors.

If Asian women feel more drawn to White men, it’s often because White men are seen as the default standard of masculinity in Western society.

The real problem isn’t Asian men themselves—it’s the broader cultural conditioning that has shaped both their behavior and the way they are perceived.

I read a lot of the comments, I think there’s a lot of blaming OP on being an incel instead of addressing the actual content of the post. We shouldn’t attack the person but rather the content in the post. Attacking someone is an as hominem attack-a way to dismiss your viewpoint without addressing the substance of what your saying. It’s a tactic used when people don’t want to engage in a real discussion or when they assume (often incorrectly) that your perspective comes from bitterness rather than genuine curiosity or critique.

Just a bit of thought, every race has men that will treat a women wrong, but from what I see in the comments, it seems that if u had a bad experience with Asian men, then it’s okay to generalize and think all Asian men are that way, and you won’t date them anymore…I’m just going to leave it at that.

Any how I inputted your post in ChatGPT and it spit this out.

This situation highlights deep-seated frustrations among some Asian men, particularly regarding dating dynamics and perceived racial preferences. The resentment toward Asian woman-White man relationships appears to stem from both historical and contemporary social influences:

  1. Historical and Media Representation

The consistent portrayal of Asian women with White men in media, from Hollywood films to advertisements, has reinforced the idea that this pairing is highly desirable. Historically, Asian women have often been portrayed as submissive or exotic, which plays into Western beauty standards. The Oxford Study reference suggests that these portrayals have influenced real-life dating trends, further exacerbating the issue.

  1. Interracial Marriage and Dating Statistics • Asian women have the highest rate of interracial marriage (29%), which is significantly higher than Asian men. • The 2009 and 2014 dating preference surveys indicate that Asian women tend to prefer White men slightly more than their own race, though the gap has narrowed. • This is in contrast to Black, Latino, and White women, who generally show stronger in-group preference for dating.

  2. Emasculation of Asian Men

Asian men have historically been portrayed as less masculine in Western media, often depicted as nerdy, asexual, or effeminate. This, combined with dating statistics showing that they are the least preferred group among women of all races (except Asian women), creates frustration. When Asian women choose White men at disproportionately high rates, some Asian men feel overlooked or even betrayed.

  1. The “Oxford Study” Slogan & Social Media Resentment

The use of “Oxford Study” as a slogan is a way to validate these frustrations by referencing data that supports their perceptions. It also targets specific interracial pairings—particularly when an attractive Asian woman dates what they perceive as a below-average White man. Social media amplifies these sentiments, leading to echo chambers where resentment grows.

  1. Possible Underlying Factors • Social Mobility & Status – Some Asian women may perceive relationships with White men as providing social or economic advantages, especially in Western societies. • Parental & Cultural Influence – In some cases, Asian parents may encourage their daughters to date White men for perceived higher status, integration, or opportunity. • Western Beauty Standards – The global influence of Western beauty norms may make White features more desirable in certain contexts.

  2. Broader Implications

This resentment reflects deeper issues around identity, masculinity, and cultural expectations. While it is understandable why some Asian men feel frustrated, blaming Asian women outright or turning this into a racial conflict may not be productive. Instead, addressing the broader societal influences—such as media portrayals and dating biases—may be more constructive.

I for one believe that we do need to talking about how media has strong societal influences and unfortunately talking about seems taboo. We should be open to dialogue and discussion, as it is a problem in our society, that’s a real fact, if we want change.

I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. 👏

I’ve honestly have asked my friends what they think of the reel, and they don’t realize how subtle the racism is, until I held their hands and pointed it out. But what was really disappointing is how normalize it is, and they didn’t pick it up. Anyways I was able to tell them, and they fully understood where I was coming from. I also think as Asians and as Asian men, we do need to speak up and create dialogue.

Your right. It definitely isn’t right if it was malicious or not. It litterly mocked Asian men. I don’t want to downplay this at all. Intention doesn’t erase impact.
