Hi guys, I have an opportunity to get accepted for study abroad program for university in the future, and I'm very excited about it. Right now my goal is a program in Prague that looks great, and I was wondering if anybody here had any experiences in that city? I've heard it's an open minded and gay friendly city, is this correct? I was wondering if anybody had any experience specifically as a gay east Asian?
I'm not sure how busy I will be, but I'm interested in any advice or tips if you have them!
Now I feel old 🥸☠️
Hanging out in my room doing laundry just thought id post a less provocative photo.
Hope everyone have a great weekend so far, it’s the last one in October before the Halloween week! And if you try FF14 now, there’s a really cool costume you can earn in the game. I swear I don’t work for Square Enix 🤭
Can you guys what I do for a living?
Any gaysians In umass interested in making friends
Probably a longshot here lol but msg me if anyone is up for catching games at a bar tonight
Sadly, It happened to me on the 10/18 evening.
As a 28 yo Asian, 5'7 / 122 lbs (171 cm / 55 kg) I am in a standard weight range, I am a little short but it is what it is.
The major issue is that my facial features don't fit western beauty standards. I am not masculine or muscular with chiseled features. The same thing goes for Asian beauty standards - I don't have the pretty boy look with large eyes, a small face with an oval face shape etc. My skin isn't pale or blemish free.
I am trying hard not to overthink and to only worry about aspects of my life and looks I can control (personality, hobbies, career or working out) but I feel like there is so much I can do in the looks department, I am bit stuck and it is very disheartening to be judged on shallow standards and on my external features which I didn't choose to have in the first place. I don't feel accepted anywhere in the world, be it in the west (specifically Europe where I am currently based) or in East Asia.
Would I have it easier in Hawaii/SoCal where Asian Americans seem to embrace their "natural" features more ? Or somewhere in southeast Asia where East Asians are getting more popular nowadays ?
Hey guys,
Do you guys ever feel like gay Asian men represents most of the Asian male xxx on average?
I sometimes feel like gay Asian men still represent most of the representation, especially when it comes to couples. Sure you can find more straight Asian men in xxx imported from Asia, but I feel like gay Asian men have bigger numbers despite being a minority. It feels like Asian male xxx is targeted towards gay men or women, perhaps.
Are you guys uncomfortable about this? Perhaps it might look bad for some Asian men who want representation for straights. And they may care more if the guys are foreign born or not. They may want a guy speaking English.
Idk if gay Asian men care as much?
Thoughts?
Happy weekend, everyone!
I just came back from a trip to Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. The amount of hot Asian guys that were chasing after me in those countries was quite flattering. I went on dates with successful and hot guys that looked like models.
I live in Toronto and usually only go for other Asian guys but open to other POCs. I've always been told I was good looking but always wondered why other gaysians wouldn't give me the time of day. Kinda sad but also liberating as well lol
