<p>If you shave off all that hair, you will naturally gain some confidence.</p>
<p>Now confidence is something that you have to build. You cant buy it from the market.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>well, you’re not shaving MY hair. . . 
</p>
<p>heh heh heh.</p>
<p>i Love You</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:D 
!</p>
<p>be careful, I taste sour. :P</p>
<p>The problem is we don’t know how to ask out a girl.</p>
<p>^^^^ It’s simple as pie man, you plant your feet on the ground, you look her square in the eyes you say “Hey! baby, you and me’s goin’ on a date, that’s in the story”… </p>
<p>tis all.</p>
<p>There’s no denying that Asian males in many ways (image-wise) have it tougher than their female counterparts (tho, being generally stereotyped as some submissive, “lotus blossom” isn’t exactly empowering either).</p>
<p>Think about it.</p>
<p>How many positive (handsome/masculine) images of Asian males are there in the US media (TV, film, advertising, news, etc.)? (Granted, it has improved a bit since a decade or so ago, but still, what do you think the chances of an AM journalist making it to the news anchor chair as opposed to the AF journalist?)</p>
<p>OTOH, AFs are overrepresented in the media and predominantly partnered w/ WMs (heck, AFs are more commonly partnered w/ BMs than AMs in TV/film and the % of AF/BM couplings is quite small - less than 1% of all AF couplings).</p>
<p>It’s the same reason why BFs have it worse (in the context of being “attractive”) than BMs.</p>
<p>While there are a good no. of images of attractive BFs (in TV, film and music), they are also many negative counterimages of BFs as being big, loud and overbearing.</p>
<p>There are plenty of studies which show how media images or stereotypes do impact how people view themselves and others (even if it is just on a subconscious-level).</p>
<p>Now, having said that - yeah, INDIVIDUAL characteristics play the biggest role, but it’s not like the impact of the media and stereotypes is nothing.</p>
<p>@Millancad</p>
<p>That chart is misleading since it overwhelmingly includes warbrides, mailorder brides, etc. from Asia (there are over 1.3 million more AFs than AMs in the US, mostly in the 30+ age range).</p>
<p>A more reflective database would be one limited to US born or raised Asians (where about 39-40% of US born/raised AFs marry WMs and about 27-28% of US born/raised AMs marry WFs).</p>
<p>As for AMs dating WFs - it’s much easier if the AM is totally “Americanized”/“whitewashed” and has mostly white friends, etc.</p>
<p>Otoh, it doesn’t really matter if the AFs is “whitewashed” or “FOBBY” (granted, these terms are a bit offensive, but I’m using them to show how ingrained they are; also, it’s quicker to use than to spell everything out).</p>
<p>Also, for a many “whitewashed” AFs, they would never date a FOBBY AM and if they dated Asian, it would have to be w/ a whitewashed AM.</p>
<p>i advocate WGWAGism.</p>
<p>… so we’ve learned that asian guys still have it harder :D</p>
<p>so they should treat asian girls better.
i stand by my case, 6 pages later</p>
<p>I have to agree with withlovemegan. Everyone has different tastes: many will agree with this topic and many will not. It would be hard to stereotype something like this.</p>
<p>I just came here to state: “WGWAG”</p>

I’m gonna have to say that about 1/3 to 1/2 of those guys in that video look like douchnozzles.</p>
<p>Asian guys have it harder for sure. Hollywood and mainstream media definitely is part of the problem. But really it’s all about being confident about who you are but not overdoing it. I mean find the middle path between being whitewashed and obsessing over import cars. Check out this guy Ryker Koh’s interview series.

<p>I think girls are more subject to change, as in culture or living patterns.
And since the world is getting more westernized,
asian girls could change easlier.
Also, because most asian guys’ parents expect way too much from the son,
they probably wouldn’t want a white girl moving in.</p>
<p>idk i’m an asian girl and i’ve seen more asian girl+white guy couples
than the other way around.</p>
