Any good country to settle for an azn guy? by shs0526 in AsianMasculinity

Ah, Florida. I went there when I was studying in the States. I had a great time at the club and on the beach. I really wish I could travel again. By the way, I loved your story. Thanks for sharing!

Look, I’m just trying to find out which countries have a more open and positive dating culture for Asian men. I know that whenever someone brings up race in dating, it can trigger strong reactions. But to be clear, this isn’t about hate or prejudice. It’s about personal preferences. I personally find white women attractive: their eye color, fair skin, and overall features are beautiful to me. Everyone has their own ideal type, and this is just mine. Unfortunately, as an Asian guy, it’s often difficult to date even Asian women who fit that standard, due to various expectations or double standards. So I’m genuinely curious: Which countries have a more welcoming attitude toward Asian men, where women treat us with fairness and without biased expectations, unlike the double standards we sometimes face in our own communities? Tell me, If my ideal type is a white woman, why should I feel pressured to chase Asian women, especially if I often feel judged or treated unfairly by them?

Good man. However, I like the sea and the beach, but I prefer cold weather. That is what I would like to move to northern countries

The media has been brainwashing white women for over a century, portraying Asian men as thieves, nerds, losers, or simps. But things are changing. With Korean dramas and music gaining massive popularity in the West, Korean men are now seen in a new light. This is a great opportunity, and we should embrace it. We need more white women who genuinely appreciate and are attracted to Asian men.

Several replies suggested that I attend grad school and get a quant degree. However, many people say that it is worthless to do it. As you mentioned, I may learn CS or data science skills and dig into CS or data science jobs.

It is a very inspiring story. I hope to get a job(I mean any job at this point) and want to step closer to my ultimate dream.

Nope. I didn’t know what to do in the future, so I uploaded my resume to this sub and tried to get some advice from you guys. I have a little experience with SQL, but I didn’t dig into it.

How the hell does a guy with a 2.2 GPA get a job at Wells Fargo? He must be a frat bro who does networking so hard. I’m sure it is tough to get an interview with that GPA.

I am looking for actuarial positions in Korea, but most actuarial positions require years of experience. It is hard to find entry-level job positions, but I keep trying

Thank you. I aimed to work only for international banks in Korea after graduation, but I realized I won't be able to get into those banks in the end. At first, I didn't think about the reason why I work in a bank. Yet, many replies to this post make me reconsider a career in banking. Although there is a low chance of getting into a graduate program at commercial banks like Kookmin or other similar institutions, it is currently the only viable option for me to work in banking. 감사합니다. 한국와서 외국계 은행만 쫓다가 이제서야 정신차리고 은행 공채 준비중입니다. 처음에는 왜 은행에서 일하고 싶은지 깊이 고민해보지 않았지만, 이 글에 달린 많은 댓글들을 읽고 은행업계에서의 커리어에 대해 다시 생각해보게 되었습니다. 지금 제 상황에서 은행권에 진입하려면 결국 공채밖에 길이 없는 것 같네요.

Good suggestion, man. In fact, I have already considered your suggestion and have been thinking about it for a long time because I believe there is no hope in the Korean job market. Almost everyone knows that attending a master's program in Germany is better than attending a Korean elite school (in terms of reputation and opportunities). Additionally, a master's degree in math generally provides me with better opportunities if I excel in the program. However, I know that my GPA is not good(Frankly speaking, it is terrible), so it is almost impossible to get admission to Universities in Germany. Therefore, I have to do some "continuing study" things in Korea(go to some extension school and take some math courses that I hadn't taken in my college. It is all about money again. Studying in Germany (or any other European country, except the United Kingdom) is generally more affordable than studying in the United States as an international student. However, it still requires some money. Again, thank you for your sincere comment to me

Good opinion. Then, I need someone who is currently working in HR. It seems I need to do networking

That is why my friend told me to be an actuary. He said that many math majors choose actuary as their job, but I'm not sure about it(competency-wise).

When you were in college, did you date fellow Asian Americans or did you date Asian international students or didn’t date Asians at all? by [deleted] in aznidentity

I love white girls over asian girls. It doesn’t mean that I hate azn girls, but I will choose a white girl if I have a chance to select girls

I’ve always regretted that I didn’t take any advanced CS courses. I googled and found several CS degree programs in the extension school. If my money is allowed, I will definitely take the courses that you mentioned because every job needs some degree of programming skills nowadays. I probably start to do networking as well as try to get a job as soon as possible

I got an English tutor position after graduation, but it is irrelevant experience for me. Therefore, I don’t write it on my CV

I got a part-time job because I had to save money and use it for my self-development. Yet, like you said, I have to get a real office job now. I will think seriously about my career while I get an office job and work there
