 In this video we will try to answer one of the more common questions asked on the internet by Asian guys is New York City the best city to date as an Asian male? I keep hearing this a lot guys but what about NYC makes it better? This was a reddit post from somebody who was a medical student they're 25 years old and they're thinking about picking where to go to medical school but they want to have a social life on the side too and they were saying man everybody keeps talking about New York City for Asian guys what's going on? All right let's break it down we're also going to compare it to other cities so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hotpot boys and as always small ass sauce it is out for pre-order right now it's shipping at the end of April. I would say this man different cities have different archetypes of guys that are going to be more successful there but obviously just by the nature of sheer population just pop up some photos right here New York is going to be a gigantic pool to fish from right so and not only is like do you have the right lures for the right type of fish but obviously the uh I guess the the fishing pond size matters a lot in the population density and New York certainly has a ton of that. Yeah and also by better for dating what does that even mean I'm just gonna go ahead and assume he's talking about go on as many dates with different women as possible as an Asian guy so other than that I cannot tell you what's gonna happen or how you're going to get them to like you or whatever but I'm just saying as far as meeting many different types of women I think New York City ranks pretty high in my opinion. But here's the detail part Andrew he's a med school student so I would also take a look at Boston because Boston also has a ton of medical schools. Also LA just the medical industry is huge in LA too. All right but here let's be honest Andrew different types of guys appeal in different cities for example Andrew this type of guy is probably going to kill it in Houston. If you're my brother blood or not no one disrespects your name around I don't care if it's my woman if my woman disrespects my brother's name I will check her faster than she can blink. Boom Andrew Thompson he's got the booming low voice Andrew we got some friends that are like this and they do really well in the Houston environment because what they got Jimmy Boy Johnny Dang that type of vibe going on right um Andrew for OC Las Vegas what type of look do you think is going to do well? This type of look no honestly I mean listen I think all types of looks can do well in LA because there is such a diversity too but the difference is in LA is very spread apart so I think that but this is specifically an OC look. Yeah I mean shout out to Nelson but yeah if you got tats and you kind of got the sharp nose and you're talking about Kevin Wynn this is this is Viet Trapp from the podcast guys and uh I'm not saying you have to look like him and get the tats on your face but I mean he that's a very LA look. I think if you're an LA LA in Koreatown you should look like this but if you're living on the west side more like Santa Monica you should look like this okay like almost like uh you look you're Asian but you kind of look white but you're full Asian but obviously K-Town it's more like look like Korean Korean right? If you're from San Diego Andrew look like this Brian Pusmos look like a Filipino dancer um and if you're from SF Andrew this is going to be the archetype that kills at the hardest this right here this is going to kill it in SF just be Fred again just be Fred again but anyway I make this joke but I'm being realistic too because every city has got different vibes and uh for example we had this friend who's really tatted up and kind of had that Kevin Wynn look and when he was in Manhattan Andrew he was only matching with girls from like Chinatown Queens and Brooklyn it wasn't what the girls Andrew who were from Duke Vanderbilt northeastern northwestern it wasn't what they were looking for right? Like I'm saying that it still depends and I feel like for a lot of guys on Reddit that what are they medical students Andrew more like computer programmers you're gonna find girls that more respect that you went to a good college and you know you're like a upstanding preppy or like uh trying to enter the global elite yeah so obviously we're going to go into the comment section and a lot of different guys from New York have other insight and stuff like that but my my quick thing is like you know if you live in Manhattan uh which is a favorable part of New York or if you live nearby the city it's going to be very easy to go on dates like high volume yeah because you're just distance wise and density wise and there's lots of places to meet up and lots of cool things to do you will be spending some money so I think that's a pro and a con but if you're literally just asking about like the most options you're gonna see a lot of reasons why New York is not a bad pick or LA I will never say not LA I always gotta throw LA out there as well but yeah it's very unbelievable that some people in the comment sections are like LA's terrible or no LA's great New York's terrible I'm like no these are the two biggest markets for Asian guys in the whole country or for almost anybody how could either of them be bad no listen if you are a person that cannot get any matches or decent dates in LA or New York City and you've tried it is because you are not an appealing product at the moment there is no way with this type of there's million between those two cities millions of Asians hold on let me say that a million Asians if not they're young and trying to party too right millions of Asians for example in Seattle has a lot of Asians but oftentimes Seattle's considered a very bad day yeah what I mean social Asians a million social Asians in those cities so yes you will meet someone right right right these big cities they attract a certain type of personality that is leaving their hometown possibly for a work hard play hard type of situation that is why people become transplants to these cities right so you're dealing with the density of that and also we're talking about four transplants and yes there's a lot of transplants between LA and New York so people are very used to that so yes right right right I mean like we said let's get into the comment section somebody said yes you are looking at a huge population there's more females than males due to the presence of art marketing what else art marketing fashion fashion is a huge draw right very very female weighted industries um however he said it might not be the best for finding a long-term relationship because a lot of people are trying to live a sex in the city hook up lifestyle it's expensive and a lot of people who moved to New York City move out very quickly relative to one to three years right um yeah I think that's true too um a lot of people are talking about the ratio Andrew um I guess in SF it's a 47 to 53 split but in New York it's a 53 to 47 split meaning there's a lot more women than there are men so I guess how do you think mathematically that plays out some people are saying that that means that the women would theoretically have to compete with each other to even get a boyfriend uh yeah I mean I think just anytime it's hard to say like oh yeah women are going to be falling at your feet no it's not like that but um there is yeah there is quite a lot of women in the city so I think that's just a good place to start I mean somebody says I can't believe I stayed in the SF Bay area for five years instead of moving I should have moved five years ago I'm having the time of my life you know the funny thing is Andrew we know a lot of VCs that moved because obviously the quote-unquote fall of San Francisco and uh I'm not gonna lie just anecdotally I hear people say that a lot this guy said for me in my experience I'm still below the threshold maybe I am a three out of ten in the bay but I just increased to a four out of ten so it's still hard for me I'm not automatically gonna turn into a 10 out of 10 yeah so here's another thing like at some point uh just because you move to a different city doesn't mean your life gets way easier right and that makes and just like there's some guys at the top that no matter what city they move to they're gonna do fine and then there's guys kind of that are not as appealing at the moment where no matter where they go it's not gonna be super easy but if you made me say if you want to struggle in a smaller market city like Seattle or you want to struggle in New York your potential ceiling is much higher in New York there's way more people you could still possibly hang out with and still live like a fun dynamic life listen maybe it's not about like dating maybe it's just meeting people I know people in New York who in general the vibe of New York is like if you can vibe with New York people and vibe and you're not a weirdo then you can meet friends very quickly here well I would say that uh you're right at the super bottom end and the super top end one point on your value score doesn't really change much but for people in the middle gray zone that one to 1.5 point bump could be a lot right but for the people where that bump is not enough I would say if you went to like Thailand or Vietnam for example right you get plus 2.5 points plus haircuts and skincare looks maxing stuff is way cheaper over there right just due to the currency exchange rate and just labor costs so now you could go from a 3 to a 6.5 and I think that that's speaking to why the passport bro phenomenon is so popular because overseas you could do a bunch of things like expensive haircuts that would be too expensive for you to indulge in in the US so then you can jump even more points right so like I said for this guy who's actually hapless who says he's a 3 out of 10 out of 4 out of 10 is still not making any difference go to Southeast Asia maybe be a 6 just throwing it out there I'm not saying guys I'm just saying anywhere where you can see a 3 point jump you gotta go bro go to Warsaw Poland if you need to I mean it depends obviously if you can like Iceland do you think you'd see the bump in Iceland I don't know I'll just say that it sounded funny maybe like Eastern Europe come on man be real um somebody said uh yeah women who live in Manhattan have a reputation for liking money and power and guys who live in Manhattan have a reputation for having money and power so that is a big key if you are not the best looking guy but you went to like an Ivy League school yeah I would say so obviously all those things help you know what I mean they are they are a little status driven here I will say that so I warn you that like uh if you went to a bad college people are going to hold it against you right yeah I mean if you listen if you know you need all the points you can get um for example Andrew in LA people were saying man people more go for a vibe and the looks and just how cool you are so that's why LA produced arena nightclub in New York is all about status and power and money and that's why they had circle nightclub which was super hard to get into right right but but hey I'll tell you there's arena k-time man that was the the ratchets arena was fun they had ratchets on arena was fun shout out to those guys in neon lights on the wall it said ratchets and girls taking happily taking photos by the ratchet sign um somebody just said in the midwest I noticed that if you do not fit into all american quarterback style that's not what they like but in New York you could be like a cool art director or you could project this archetype or that archetype basically different archetypes for movies you could still have success doing that yeah listen guys uh overall you know I feel like a lot of guys who continually ask this over and over again and don't understand the basic dynamics that we're trying to describe here like think about what we said in this video I'm not gonna lie it's not mind blowing to anybody it's just how cities work so cities have different demographics there's different densities different industries there's different industries yes in New York City if you talk to other college educated people they might care a little bit more what college you went to in LA they might care a little bit more about how you look or what car you drive just a little bit more just like in New York but ultimately guys in houston they might care if you're really masculine yeah and maybe if you you know look like you can fight tattoos yeah whatever or I don't know maybe they care maybe girls like guys who have guns more in houston I'm you know I'm just saying basically uh you know if you are an asian dude and you have tried and you really cannot get dates any dates in LA or New York then you're clearly doing something wrong or you're presenting yourself the wrong way or you're just not there yet so I'm just saying either of those cities are not a bad pick obviously we're in New York City I like New York City I've had a lot of fun in New York City we know a lot of people in New York City so that's why I like New York City because we I feel like I fit in I really like Toronto as well and I like Vegas depending on if you like nightlife all right so to answer this fellow's question if he's a medical school student LA or New York is not a bad fit if he goes to a good medical school New York even better hey how about Boston Boston as a sleeper pick if you want to date other medical students I'll be honest if you go to NYU medical or like Columbia Medical those are good like those are very social good schools well you could be a med student that dates a girl who graduated from Parsons yeah or anywhere man there's just a bunch of colleges yeah I just think that anybody who's like yo I hated this big city but I love this big city it might be because they felt like their archetype more fit into like the most desired preference yeah and it also comes down to your individual experience man a lot of people had like maybe the wrong friends or got plugged into the wrong systems and then met the wrong people and had some bad experiences it's entirely possible entirely possible that you come to New York City and you don't like it here I have had friends who come to New York and like are like I don't know if I can live here I'm like yeah that's fine it's not for everybody for sure for sure I mean if you're really into the ABG you know Jennifer Tran Kevin Wynn lifestyle I would generally say that's more located on the west coast then go to medical school in the OC then right if that's your style all right say hello don't sleep on saying oh yeah guys we're just trying to make it easy for you guys by using stereotypes we're just trying to make things simple for you all right you guys let us know what you think in the comment section below what do you think New York versus LA they're both good what are the nuances what have you seen what are your own personal experiences what are experiences from friends let us know in the comment section
