Comments on: It’s Hard Out There For an Asian Playboy http://www.8asians.com/2008/02/09/its-hard-out-there-for-an-asian-playboy/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 05:45:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jack http://www.8asians.com/2008/02/09/its-hard-out-there-for-an-asian-playboy/comment-page-1/#comment-142873 Jack Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:06:46 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/2008/02/09/its-hard-out-there-for-an-asian-playboy/#comment-142873 I don't need advise to pick up on women, it's really what does the spark. I think physical attraction doesn't necessarily have to be a certain racial preference despite some women of all races who judge asian men as being least attractive physically. If the individual is themselves and charming, I don't see how any woman cannot find that attractive. Granted there are many negative stereotypes (some downright ugly like the asexual asian man in the Hangovers, Long Duk Dong, William Hung) but that shouldn't stop you from trying. We need to be more supportive of filmmakers like Fred Weintraub, Justin Lin, filmmakers of Harold and Kumar, Ninja Assassin, instead of BS movies like 21, Dragonball Evo, The Last Airbender who are not even trying at all to represent asians. I'm surprised many who work in the American Entertainment industry like M Night and Dragonball Evo director, and talent agents (many whom are asians) are not helping at all for better representation of asians....they've actually made things worse.

"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'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 "non-issue." Now, I don'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'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's a huge circle but, no, as long as Asian women can do what they want, it's the only true way to gauge how healthy Asian men AND women are when it comes to ethnic development. Life isn't fair but I think it'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'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's EXACTLY how I see the Asian American community. Anyone else pick up on these last two points?

As if white, black, hispanic, et al., men DON'T objectify women? It's funny; when white guys do it and have game they're being assertive and bold. We have a guy here who teach Asian men to do the same, and he's objectifying women? Throw yourself out a window, please.

I mean I only weigh around 110lbs, although, you can't lead someone anywhere they don't want to go. I think it'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't feeling you ... she ain't feeling you. I just wonder, if someone actually knighted him a "Playboy" 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. I’m fairly easy to pick up … I mean I only weigh around 110lbs, although, you can’t lead someone anywhere they don’t want to go.
