January 21, 2012 – The Asian Alpha Male : Dating Coach


Way back in 2011 I was at a bar in the St. Marks area of New York City with a former friend and good wingman, who shall hence forth be referred to as “Energetic”. Energetic and I had decided to go in to the bar that Friday night just for a drink after a long week to relax. As I slowly tasted a beer from a brand I have never tried (I’m a fan of beer.), I noticed some red shimmer on by. In a bar where light is almost nonexistent, the shinny hair of a red head is very noticeable. The shinny hair belonged to a red headed Texan girl who shall hence forth be referred to as “Dallas”. Dallas was with a group of girls in New York City on vacation. Long story short she was extremely attractive, I’m starting to think southern girls are just more attractive than most women in New York City.

Make hot women crazy and desperate for you

Below are two voicemails a tall blonde and blue eyed white girl left on my phone. She was a model for a very famous clothing line that begins with the letter “H” with a very recognizable logo, especially on their t-shirts. Their advertisements often feature female models in bikinis or very revealing t-shirts, but in a classy way.
.



After listening to the voicemails a friend of mine said she sounds “crazy and desperate”. I agreed; the voicemails were indeed very unbecoming of a model for a famous clothing line. However, she is not crazy and desperate in the way we would normally envision women fitting that description to be. In public and social situations she is very calm and very well put together. She’s even rather intelligent. Men throw themselves at her, try to hit on her, buy her expensive gifts and pay for her meals.

Repost of "White Men HATE Asian Feminism"

White men hate women. All women, Black, Yellow, Brown, Red, White. White men aren’t interested in sex, they are addicted to power. Sex is a power trip for the white man. He needs the woman to be hurt, humiliated, broken. He feeds off female suffering. That is why white men have went so batshit insane over the modest gains of white feminism. That is why he used to have Jungle Fever for Sally Helms, but now finds Black women manly and unfeminine.

The one race of women, that white men supposedly promotes feminism for is Asian women. What does feminism mean for Asian women? Obeying and serving her white colonial masters. That is a feminism the white man can get behind.

Or can he?

Lets see how a white man reacts to a genuine Asian feminist, and to her scholarly work exploring WM/AF relationships, here are excerpts from a WM 1-star review-

“I anticipated reading this book with pleasure. It covers an interesting and important topic.

AAIFF Watch - Wedding Palace on August 14th

Be sure to check this film out! the film Wedding Palace wins Best Feature & Best Cinematography at Cine Gear Expo! Written by Christine Yoon.

Starring Jean Yoon and Stephen Park, Charles Kim plays the "Professor Uncle"

Reviews by Scott Eriksson 

"Christine Yoo has written and directed a film that is masterful in the way it moves from comedy to romance by blending the two seamlessly. That's the good news...the bad news is that by virtue of the fact that it is a film with an Asian cast and a few subtitles thrown in, it will probably not receive the wide release and the sold out American audiences it deserves. Although it is a film about Korean culture and traditions of parents whose son is a Korean-American raised in a very different world than his immigrant parents, the comedy is ultimately about generational differences among family members, something everyone can understand. While every good film starts with a great script, without the right director and cast it can't succeed.

Jeff Yang’s Profile of an Asian Male Porn Star

Posting from the "Colorblind" Blog:

Jeff was publisher of A. Magazine, one of the most popular and influential Asian American magazines during its run from 1989-2002. Since then, Jeff has published several books including co-editing Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology and is widely recognized and respected as an expert on Asian and Asian American pop culture. I have admired Jeff’s work for a long time but only finally got the chance to meet him at Syracuse.

Understanding STD's and Health Disparities in Asian American Communities

By Professor Hyeouk Chris Hahm

Working with diverse immigrant populations who suffered from various mental health disorders in New York City, Professor Hyeouk Chris Hahm had a first-hand look at health disparities among Asian American communities. As a psychiatric social worker for 10 years, she saw a growing prevalence of young Asian American adults dealing with substance use and sexually transmitted disease (STDs). This led her to question the factors associated with risky health behavior patterns, as well as the protective factors of those behaviors including substance use and HIV/STDs risk behaviors among young Asian Americans.

Serial Pedophile Who Bought 5-Year-Old Vietnamese Sex Slave is Up For Parole

What can be more depressing than a story like this to remind us of our current society and the state of human morality. It is important that we should continue to advocate against human trafficking and foriegners who go overseas to find Asian wives or sex touring for Asian women (or in this case, Children too).

Typically, these are the types that have the imperialist mindset, they prey on those who are inpoverished and live in difficult conditions. The circumstances that exposes a vulnerability can be said without reference, human trafficking or sexual exploitation of Asian women.

We have similar issues that exist in first world countries only that these  problems exist on a another level. In the social context, racism comes  intertwined with stereotypes, race sexual fetish, Asian fetishism, Pedophilia, Asiaphiles, Sexism, Rapists, murders etc all that commonly share the same basis on the grounds of racism.

Green tea may strengthen teeth, gums

Article from http://chinesemedicinenews.com/
by Susanna Ng

A study recently published in the Journal of Periodontology, the official publication of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), uncovered another benefit of green tea consumption. Researchers found that routine intake of green tea may also help promote healthy teeth and gums.

With origins dating back over 4,000 years, green has long been a popular beverage in Asian culture, and is increasingly gaining popularity in the United States. And while ancient Chinese and Japanese medicine believed green tea consumption could cure disease and heal wounds, recent scientific studies are beginning to establish the potential health benefits of drinking green tea, especially in weight loss, heart health, and cancer prevention.

The study analyzed the periodontal health of 940 men, and found that those who regularly drank green tea had superior periodontal health than subjects that consumed less green tea.

Jaemin Kim on racial equality & social trends 'Asian Women: Rape And Hate Crimes'

Jaemin Kim writes on racial inequality of asian women & social trends in the article 'Asian Women: Rape And Hate Crimes'

"Older, White Critics ... Missed the Boat" by making an issue of the interracial relationship in the movie Rachel Getting Married, posted Defamer.com last October. In rare form, the popular blog site -- known for mercilessly ridiculing celebrities and media players -- took a principled stance. The posting chided well-known film critics for focusing on race when reviewing the film. The critics were preoccupied with the fact that white Rachel was marrying a black man. In the film, however, the couple's ethnicities go unmentioned. And this is the way a "cultural melting pot" should be, Defamer rhapsodized.

AA Activism and IR

I've heard the opinion expressed multiple times that Asian Americans who are dating or married to white people should not be activists. I disagree with this opinion because it does not take multiple facets of activism into consideration.

There are many different ways that a person can help out Asian Americans, regardless of their race or the race of their spouse. If you are going to be a high-profile spokesperson, I would say yes, ideally your spouse should be Asian American, or you will alienate a lot of people.

However, if you are going to support Asian American artists/film, donate money to causes, teach a class about racism, protest a racist incident, pretty much anything where other people will not be turned off by your personal life because it's not a question, then it's fine.

We don't have the numbers or the support to "kick out" everyone who marries "out". As for their white spouses, white people can do a lot in dismantling racism by talking to other white people, who are more likely to listen to whites.

Interracial Dating & Marriage True Love is a Two-Way Street

Text version

One of the most public manifestations of race is the choice of one's partner or spouse. This very individual and personal aspect can sometimes produce a lot of public discussion. Studies consistently show that Asian Americans have some of the highest "intermarriage" (also known as "outmarriage") rates among racial/ethnic minorities -- marrying someone else outside of their own ethnic group. But as always, there's more to the story than just the headline.

The Public and Private Sides of Ethnicity

An Economist Goes to a Bar And solves the mysteries of dating [interracial]

An Economist Goes to a BarAnd solves the mysteries of dating.
By Ray Fisman

When economists began broadly applying their theories of rational choice-making, love and marriage were among the first areas they colonized. Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker laid the foundations back in 1973 with his two-part article "A Theory of Marriage." Becker imagined society as an immense cocktail party with rational-minded daters searching for the most desirable partner who would have them. His analysis predicted a pattern of "positive assortative matching," where men and women of similar desirability would partner with one another.
 

Internalized Gendered Racism in Asian American Womens Accounts of Asian and White Masculinities. By Pyke, Karen.

The intersectionality of race and gender inequality generate a variety of oppressive structures or “scattered hegemonies” that cannot be adequately understood by focusing exclusively on their gendered or racial components. There is a simultaneity to structures of domination which generate forms of racial oppression that are gendered and forms of gender oppression that are racialized. In this presentation I discuss those forms of racism that denigrate the masculinity of Asian males, which I refer to as gendered racism. The exaggerated and derogatory images of Asian American masculinity serve to glorify those forms of masculinity associated with white males. I examine the specific forms of gendered racism that second generation Korean and Vietnamese American males face, and describe how these demonizing myths and images shape the perceptions of Asian American women. In an analysis of 100 interviews with daughters of Korean and Vietnamese immigrants, I find that they frequently juxtapose derogatory images of Asian masculinity with positive images of white masculinity that are circulated in the white-dominated society.

Asianized Asians, Twinkies, and North Face Puffy Jackets Constructing Racialized Gender Identities among Second Generation Korean American College Women

Authors: Kim, Helen. The passage of the 1965 Immigration Act ushered in an era marked by a massive influx of non- white immigrants to the United States. Contrary to previous waves of immigration that included primarily Europeans, the past four decades have seen a surge in non-European immigrants from Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean. However, while civil rights and immigration reforms have, on a legislative level, legitimated the entry of previously excluded groups to the US, social acceptance of these “new immigrants” and their children has been slow to follow. Assimilation patterns of European immigrants and their children have historically resulted in an eventual racial blending into the white majority.

Asian representation in educational media

Media plays a big part in cross cultural and language education. Teachers use media to complement teaching as it provides students with the necessary resources they require in ther studies using interactive text, visuals and audio aids that effectively improves the learning process. Most would also agree that when it comes to learning culture or new languages, students should have more interaction with native speakers and the people from that particular culture to get the real experience.

Tila Tequila on MTV, any opinions?

Question: The new Tila Tequila show on MTV, wut are your views on it? I think it's garbage, I'm not sure if she's a sell-out but she's pretty close, who am I kidding? The show doesn't even feature any Asian guys or girls. wtf? How about Flava Flav shows or house of Love ? Why is it that Asians don't invite Asians on TV shows and movies as their own potential mates? WTF?

"It is easy for white people to say, "Interracial dating is wonderful! And anybody that doesn't think so is racist!" Frankly, I think that it is difficult for any white person to get away with saying anything else.

But interracial dating affects different groups differently. It represents greater opportunity for some people, while representing a threat to others (black women, Asian men). Asian women and white men are probably annoyed with whatever flack they get regarding their relationships, but I think that it is unreasonable for anybody to expect Asian men to be totally comfortable with the gender imbalance of interracial dating/marriage and with Asian women that consciously reject Asian men on the grounds of their race. In fact, I suspect that this group was created in part to provoke Asian men.
