 Apparently dating Asian men is now normalized the question is how has this affected your life if it has at all? Yeah, we got a list breaking it down for you guys today So make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications check out small I saw small I saws comm enter this went viral on reddit It says how has this slow normalization of non-asian females dating Asian men affected you guys real quick enter I want to ask you a question. Do you wholeheartedly agree that this snow slow normalization is occurring? Yes, I believe what are the caveats because like you said what that's it or is there I mean I think it has helped everybody a little bit and you know It's added a inspired a lot of guys But obviously dudes who have a certain look or are in a certain environment or we're in a certain position Saw the boost like saw a tremendous boost and of course David It's been a constant progression up and up But again like you know certain guys with certain looks were first in line And then it's the second in line and the third in line and now maybe the guys who are fourth in line are getting their chance And I will say this I think it is strongest amongst Gen Z which is people about under 27 years old Okay, I think millennials they could go either way Gen X You're gonna see the leaves but still some probably divorce realistically for single in your Gen X Right. I do think k-pop and anime had a big portion to play with it, right? I do think that racially ambiguous Filipino guys have been doing good for 20 years since the b-boy days Yes on the coast. Yes, but it was because possibly Latino passing. I do think geography demographic demographic dependent matters I do think it's mostly impacted agree or disagree me Andrew Latina women and Semi-white women like Eastern European women the most I can agree at a higher intensity level right those seem to be more of the Couples I see is what I mean right based off and I feel like it's solely gotten more normal for everybody though But like you said it depends on your archetype. Let's get into number one The first reaction to the slow normalization of dating Asian guys has been that it makes people overall more motivated Yeah, and I think This is good. This is good. It's encouraging I think when you see the media and you see your friends doing well or people you know doing well getting more matches on the apps And they were seven eight years ago if they're still on the apps after seven eight years I know a lot of people were um so you're saying that you need a positive feedback loop to even start trying right? Is it like Malcolm Gladwell's hockey analogy that he had where he was like all the best hockey players were the oldest kids And then they were the most dominant and then they were most dominant They got the most positive feedback made them hockey players Yeah, and I think that it's unfortunate that the guys needed this much to motivate them, but that's human and it makes sense I mean, I would say overall. I mean, yeah, just it makes sense Yeah, well, you're saying there's hope now and when you're hopeless sometimes people give up There's no hope and now there's hope Somebody said this guy was talking about If you're 40 years old and you're out at the bar with your friends Maybe you some of you guys are married some of you guys are divorced Maybe some of you guys just never got married some Latinas will come talk to you at the bar So basically these guys are just saying man I'm no longer invisible in a way that 10 years ago. There's I couldn't even imagine being visible to these women Yeah, and I think that especially if you're on that age range, there's a lot of You know those women have probably dated around kind of made up their decision They've learned a lot and now they're like I don't want to put it in a bad way But they're giving Asian guys a chance finally and they're like hey You know, I always thought Asians were cute, but maybe it wasn't socially acceptable for me You'd have to understand guys and this is maybe this is encouraging to know or sad to know that for a long time Actually more women were actually attracted to Asian men But maybe something about their community or family or culture was actually fighting against that not Every person comes from a super open-minded family so that that's why they weren't even looking at I was just waiting for them to like kind of win some Oscars and once they won some Oscars and some Golden Globes That's when they became visible to me. Yeah Do you think it'd be funny if some Latina girls went up to the 40 year old Asian guys and they're like, hey Are you guys new at this bar? I just noticed you guys and they're like, uh, well We've been coming here for about 17 years as a group of friends, but nice to meet you Um, yeah, that's actually pretty funny somebody said Number three it only matters if you're Korean and Gen Z and have the look This is what some people had this reaction agree or disagree Well, we just saw from the first example that this guy who's like 40 years old and Asian and maybe not Korean He's right. Yeah is already seeing a boost Seeing a little bit more attention feeling that people are more open-minded So overall I'm gonna disagree with this statement, but I get what they're trying to say They're trying to point out that if you're tall skinny with the 15 16% body fat you got the Two-block curtain haircut with the perm and you look East Asian possibly Korean and you hang out and you eat Korean barbecue and you're fluid at the Asian bar You have access to The NRB's and this exclusive world that's opened up to the Korea booze I will say this that's the closest to the blast zone though Yes, those people are seeing they they got blasted up with the rocket for sure They're riding the rocket the hardest right other guys a listen guys still on the hot air balloon But maybe not the SpaceX rocket right shooting into out of orbit again guys I think everything is encouraging everything should be encouraging to everybody number four Andrew I'm married out of the game, but I'm just happy thinking about how much my Prouder my daughter is gonna be able to be then the women that from my generation Oh, so this guy this Asian father is not talking about dating at all He's like yo, I just am glad that I'm probably not gonna raise a self-hating Asian daughter That's I mean no, I mean listen there's more material to be proud of there's more people It doesn't mean that every Asian girl is gonna date an Asian guy. That's not actually that's doesn't actually mean that's not correlated It's just it's just that everybody's gonna be a little bit more proud Even the guys because there's a lot of self-hating guys even growing up. I think that this is what's gonna happen His daughter whether she ends up with an Asian guy or whatever guy white guy black I Spanish guy will have dated an Asian guy in her life at the end of her life though Yeah, whereas I do think for the millennial and Gen X a lot of Asian women to be not all by the way guys I'm just saying they never even dated an Asian guy once in their life Have you ever met an Asian father and I felt like I felt this from one guy met where he was like He kind of he didn't say it, but he they felt like dang my like none of my two daughters like dated Asian guys like Right, not even one kiss one on the cheek Yeah, and then because they're Asian man So of course you would like for them to have maybe they didn't meet the right guy or whatever they weren't around them It was you know, I don't know if it's his fault at all, but mom the mom's Doing to or maybe just the environment Well, it obviously depends sometimes on those guys like which type of white guy your daughter ended up with like if it was like Upper-crust Illuminati type then you know Number five Andrew this guy said for me and he did qualify this I've always been rich and tall, but I always dated non-Asian women my entire life for the last 20 years But I will say this it's nice to see my fellow Asian bros and friends who weren't as tall as rich in me Finally be able to do it. Oh wow man 20 years Yeah, you know you guys probably like in his late 30s or 40s Maybe and he's seeing it. I agree with this because in the past Andrew There was guys if you hit certain super rare stats on like looks height and wealth you could overcome it But I think that this guy's just happy for the guys who didn't have you know check mark check mark check mark He's like you know gotta be tall and rich anymore I mean, let's even put it this way like obviously like growing up I had like we dated different types of girls, you know, but I would say on the apps You would see a boost now like a visible boost amongst non-Asian women on the apps and usually if you first if you ever use the apps Like ten years ago, you would know that you were getting hard Hard swipe left like if you were Asian and I think the women are more attractive nowadays, too To be honest like like even if this guy was dating Eastern European women like 15 years ago. He might be getting Svetlana Svetlana, I actually believe that People in general the good-looking people got better looking so women got better looking There's more kids right makeup and like contouring and lashes and hair stuff There's a trillion all the knowledge you just made women better looking Um, I still think that obviously like looks matter for sure like for the type of eight non-Asian female You're gonna attract if you're like a better looking Asian guy You'll have more options of the non-Asian women realistically I do see a lot of guys nowadays in the streets Andrew who looked like Lord's ex-boyfriend the singer Lord With a girl who kind of looks like Lord. Yeah, yeah, just usually large skinny skinny artsy photographer Asian guy Yeah, yeah, sometimes the girl don't fully look like Lord and it's not a superstar anyway point number six Andrew This guy said yeah, I've been getting a lot of attention from non-Asian females But I'm realizing they're not hitting my BMI requirement They're too big. Mmm This is a really interesting point. Yeah, I'd have to see how this guy looks he might be a little bit beefy himself But maybe he's not maybe he's talking about like I feel like I'm not getting matched with my equal my body equal Yes, yes, yes, I will say this if you want the women Some of the times they're bigger. That's what I noticed the non-Asian women that are like aggressively pursuing Asian men Okay, sometimes they're bigger possibly. Yeah, um, I will say this Asian guys also have like kind of a high standards for BMI That is like like culturally that is true I raised an American girl. Oh, you were in the weight room too much. Oh, you're taking creatine horrible Super classic to see like a slimmer Latino guy with a way thicker Latina girlfriend Like I that is very common like let's be honest like they they they like it. Yeah, it's different cultures are different For sure one thing I will say this about Asian guys dating and I always felt this way. I felt like Asian guys did Kind of narrow their choices down a notch too much. You're saying that that was an element in the barren time Yeah, yeah, it did prevent Asian guys from dating and and just meeting different types of people because they were a little too picky I've heard this from non-Asian women too from the past and I think you push some of the thick Asian women away from Asian guys To yeah, I'll you amongst the Asian guys Listen guys, it was listen got Asian guys. You kind of you got to take some fault for that All right. Um, this guy basically said man You know what has been really interesting about me that I've noticed since the slow normalization of dating Asian men It open has opened me up to a lot of different relationship lifestyles because I've found that other types of women Particularly white females are much more open to open relationships or polygamy And then you know, they supplied some photos and some breakdowns. Yeah It is true that second-generation immigrants typically not gonna lean into the open relationship open marriages or polygamy as much in my opinion Yeah, no, no, no, we come from Asia and we just got here. We're trying to like stabilize our um What's that called our lineages or whatever? That's not necessarily gonna stabilize it, right? I I have an Asian guy friend who? Dates a white girl and is in an open relationship with her and most Asian couples I know of in fact, I can't even name one Hair she got purple hair. Let's keep it real. Yeah, she might or frizzy hair or whatever. I don't know but like basically It's less common to find that amongst Asians Asians not rocking with that They're still a little bit not I feel like a lot of Asians obviously not all are chasing the American dream You know like in a way like, uh, you know probably House pick a fence but also some rental properties on the side anyway I will say this it is interesting Andrew to have been invisible like the sixth sense Bruce Willis and sixth sense and no longer be invisible We're not invisible anymore Like I said, there were some tall rich guys Maybe they never were invisible but it's as a group to have been invisible and then in your life see a shift towards non-invisible Is interesting and it's I guess it's interesting to always have been in the conversation because I feel like we've been having conversations about this for like Many many years enough where you've seen our conversation change like on our channel when we used to talk about this type of topic 10 years ago It was a different conversation But now we have to acknowledge the change that's happened and we're happy for it Right and if anything there should be a conversation of hope and inspiration now back then it was almost like joking about the pain Joking about the sorrow right or like laughing it off. I would say back then At one point Andrew some guys were in such deep pain about it. They couldn't even talk about it But David now Asian food is big you talk about the food space every food show there are Asian flavors So now even the hottest Italian restaurants in New York right now have Asian influences David people eat more Asian food They also eat more Asian I'll say this This being said the slow normalization of dating Asian men being true It still matters how you surf the wave and that's where the extra motivation goes into it I think guys you still got to do the work to serve surf the wave Yes guys because we're all surfers right Andrew You know how the tidal wave comes but only the best top-tier surfers they they rode the crest some of them you you wipe out You go underneath the wave. You don't ride the wave as good as you coulda shoulda woulda Don't just sit there and do nothing use the wave ride the wave practice get better become better Use it as motivation use it as encouragement use it as inspiration But be better still don't be the same small I saw us calm guys check it out until next time guys Let us know what you think in the comment section below. What are some other points? I you know what the one I like the most Andrew was feeling more motivation Because it's not hopeless anymore All right everybody until next time we out peace
