		<description>Anyone else pick up on these last two points?

1.) &quot;They despise me,” Tran said.  “We’re the only ethnic group where the women sexually outperform the men.”  

2.) “On a sheer population level, white guys are good at that far more than we are.  This just puts us on par with everyone else. We’re often the backup plan [for Asian women]. … So when the options [for potential mates] begin to dwindle, it starts to threaten your confidence.”

This makes perfect sense; not because I&#039;ve been saying this for the longest time but because it makes me laugh when Asians and Asian Americans say that the interracial debate is a &quot;non-issue.&quot;  Now, I don&#039;t think interracial dating and marriage is a bad thing at all.  What I am saying that when the levels of it are at the current levels, it&#039;s bound to have a dramatic impact on Asian American male psychology.

I mean, how can people be so ignorant and say that something like this has no negative impact at all?

This is also why I find it funny when Asian women say that Asian men are insecure and, as a result, run to white men, which makes Asian men even more insecure.  It&#039;s a huge circle but, no, as long as Asian women can do what they want, it&#039;s the only true way to gauge how healthy Asian men AND women are when it comes to ethnic development.

Life isn&#039;t fair but I think it&#039;s safe to say that Asian women who date white men do NOT support Asian men because of all the side effects are completely ignored.  It&#039;s like a rowboat team, what happens when one side starts rowing just a little bit slower than the other?  You eventually start rowing in a circle.  That&#039;s EXACTLY how I see the Asian American community.</description>

		<description>What I want to know is who are the jackass feminists who say he teaches &quot;objectification&quot; of women?  As if white, black, hispanic, et al., men DON&#039;T objectify women?  It&#039;s funny; when white guys do it and have game they&#039;re being assertive and bold.  We have a guy here who teach Asian men to do the same, and he&#039;s objectifying women?  Throw yourself out a window, please.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m fairly easy to pick up ... I mean I only weigh around 110lbs, although, you can&#039;t lead someone anywhere they don&#039;t want to go.  I think it&#039;s the art of persuasion if anything and that, grasshoppers, requires charm and charisma.  Sure someone can be taught how to not be so socially awkward - but if a girl isn&#039;t feeling you ... she ain&#039;t feeling you.

I just wonder, if someone actually knighted him a &quot;Playboy&quot; or if it was something he just decided to call himself after he graduated. His air quotes and hat on his blog are quite off putting.  The rest of his info is rather helpful though.</description>

		<description>I think someone from 8A totally needs to see if they can &quot;audit&quot; this class for research purposes.  

Anyone?</description>
