Geesh! It's no wonder that this guy can't get any dates, and it has nothing to do with his race. What woman, who isn't a masochist, wants to be around a bitter and whining man? Misery loves company, I suppose. www.bitterasianmen.com/ |

That's such a funny site. It's bookmarked. 
Obviously such academic pressure leaves no time for a social life. Dating isn't mentioned in the Asian household, and girls only come up as a topic of discussion if they're horrifically smart and if your parents want to compare you to them. If dating is allowed, of course, the girlfriend must be Asian and must be smart (though not as smart as you, of course, as that would hurt the Family Honor). The end result is that Asian kids are disproportionately Book Smart over Street Smart. They can explain to you the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus but never grasp the fundamental rules of dating. Of course, there are Asian kids who don't listen to these parents. They might go out, switch girlfriends monthly like they're football players, and never study and always party. These kids are disowned and never mentioned to the relatives.
This trend continues into college somewhat, until about the age of 21 or so. By this point the Asian child's path in life is relatively clear, and the Asian parents begin the OTHER inevitable lines that every Asian child hears in their lifetime: "Why haven't you met a nice Chinese/Japanese/Korean girl yet and given us grandchildren?" Asian parents are usually oblivious to the fact that they've systematically destroyed the social competence of their children, yet they expect them to be smooth maverick playboys as young adults, charming women all around. An Asian son who fails to maintain a steady girlfriend and fiancee faces increasingly irritating 'advice' on how to find women and insinuations that he might be gay. This vicious one-two punch of social emasculation and later social expectation pretty much means that the Asian son is under constant pressure from the time he enters grade school to the time he's produced grandchildren.

From what you posted, it sounds like the guy has more personal issues than racial issues. It's like he's judging every Asian man by his *individual* angst. It's like a White man blaming his race for his depression and OCD. This guy's problems probably have little to do with his race.

I never took it that seriously. I think he's just making fun of himself and the Asian stereotype. I think it's quite clever.  |

I hope that you're right. I can usually pick up the parody vibes if someone's being satirical. Maybe this guy just sounds like too many bitter and whining guys I've heard IRL. He's good if he's kidding.

Personally I think it\'s a piss take. It could be. I might be confusing it with a similar web site. |
