Where Do Asian Men Rank The Highest?

what state or city in America do Asian men rank the highest AKA where is the Asian man's social currency the best uh we're going to talk about this question because this gets posed on the internet quite often because of course there's a lot of uh Asian guys moving around the country and they're kind of wondering uh maybe what city May provide me with the best social life possibly dating life but also just like you know social currency feeling respected all that stuff so we're going to break this down please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot poop boys there's a lot of comments here and obviously being an Asian guy who has lived in different cities Across America I do have my opinion I also talk to a lot of Asian people about this stuff so I think the real question is is essentially we could say social currency or it's just like where in America does it feel like an Asian guy could have the best chance of feeling respected on a day-to-day basis now there's going to be a couple different factors that determine that but let's get into it this Reddit post where in America do Asian men have the most social currency uh outside of Hawaii which is obvious choice where else can Asian guys feel social currency you know where else can Asians be looked at as the norm you know and may have an easier Time interracially dating uh you know I heard that Seattle and Bay Area are Infamous for not being good for Asian guys even though there's a decent Asian population there uh due to a lot of the whitewash and just like the interracial couples is not in our favor there that's what most people believe this guy said you know maybe if Asians put in the work places like Nashville Portland and Charlotte work but honestly I'd probably go for Houston La New York possibly Vegas Chicago and Dallas anyways so let's think about this in this terms to make it easier where does the a average Asian man feel normal if you're like a tall good-look well-off Asian dude that's sociable that's a typee a person ality you'll probably do okay in most cities in America you're going to do fine now are there cities where that particular person tall good-looking Asian guy well-to-do type A personality is going to kill it yes there are cities more where they'll even Thrive but we're talking about the average Asian males you know someone who's not particularly uh extremely handsome or it doesn't have a whole ton of money you know what I mean like we have to be talking about the average Asian guy here because you know the the good-looking successful Asian guys they're going to be fine anyways so where does the average Asian guy feel normal where does the average Asian guy feel like he's he'll get a good exchange on their effort and personality you know return on investment or you can say exchange rate on their social currency uh putting it in terms of money uh where do Asian men feel like they will face the least discrimination and maybe if not actually experience a bump up and where are Asians in power so uh I'll give you my picks at the end but let's go through the comment section because uh yeah there's a lot of people weighing in someone said of course LA and New York are at the top choices Guys these are the big markets tons of Asians tons of options I'll be honest I think if in New York type A personalities which is essentially to sum it up guys who are very ambitious a little bit more outgoing a little bit more outspoken maybe a little bit more Alpha about being uh conventionally successful New York is going to be better for this Asian guy uh because there's also everybody else is kind of on that mindset so you're going to kind of like just fit right into the general culture La has a lot of ambitious people too but it also has the very chill side where they're like not trying to be they're just trying to chill in in Sunny La there's actually also that type of Asian in Southern California also including San Diego as well um so yeah there obviously New York I live in New York right now I like New York but I'm also probably more of a type A personality um someone said uh yeah uh Nashville is probably not even though Nashville is in a bad place and they felt welcome there probably long term it is not the best pick for an Asian guy especially like I I think this person is asking like what's the easiest place to go to for an average Asian guy not not just like oh if I meet certain requirements what's the best place it's almost like if I'm not trying hard what's the best place so obviously Hawaii is up there because it is uh mostly Asian someone said Atlanta is also a good place for Asians in the Deep South uh maybe Louisiana if you're Vietnamese but otherwise Atlanta is fantastic I actually know Asians who move to Atlanta and particularly the duth area um where there's lots of Asians and yeah they're enjoying it so I think if you Vibe with Southern Culture maybe you're a little bit more conservative I think Atlanta could be cool you know I haven't spent time in Atlanta myself but I do know Asians who went there and enjoy their lives so this person says Hawaii La NYC the variable is diversity while having Asian men that work on themselves in competitive male to female ratios if the Asian men present to be too nerdy or there's too many men then the diversity doesn't matter for dating yeah so so first of all Hawaii has the highest percentage of Asians out of any state and there's a lot of Asians high up in politics there and a lot of the uh you know it's just very close to Asia it is it's just very Asian so I think Hawaii's pretty good if you're type A and type B I actually think there's an argument maybe that it's even better if you're type B and you want to chill type B doesn't mean that you're not Successful by the way and that you're not ambitious in the traditional sense but I just mean like type B like if you want a chill life and uh maybe you already have a wife or a significant other moving to Hawaii could be really great you know um uh especially for your mental right it's uh very beachy but for me it's a little bit slow I've been to Hawaii only once but it's a bit slow for me um someone said La is very big and kind of depends on where you live obviously St Gabriel Valley is a gigantic Asian region and you will experience things over in the sgv that are different than Westside La so when we say la maybe we should be specific in what we're talking about um if you're tip B and want to chill then maybe more St Gabriel Valley Orange County Irvine but if you want to go get it and still be close to a lot of Asians obviously Westside La still has a lot of Asians but it's just not like I wouldn't say it's a Asian land out west side you you have sawel but you know uh another person said wait wait wa wait what's wrong with Seattle I just moved there but then again I'm not trying to date since I'm already married and now I think what's wrong with Seattle I think Seattle does uh for the decade before I think Seattle got a bad rep for Asian guys because they were like oh it's uh you know there's a Seattle free so it's hard to network and kind of be kind of make friends with the local Asians in Seattle and then also oh there's a lot of like uh White man Asian female couples which Seattle is known for I would say SF is known for that too they're definitely the two capitals of that so people generally assume that if that interracial couple is in high percentages then it's bad for Asian guys right uh which there is definitely logic and I would say Seattle doesn't I don't know if it sucks anymore but I will say this it doesn't have a very robust NTI which nightlife usually does help Asian guys in this sense also maybe the reason why a lot of people crap on Seattle is that the tech boom has kind of made it the city center at least a little bit more like San Francisco which is generally seen as a bad place for Asian guys dating at least Asian transplants dating and uh yeah I would say that's the general sentim sentiment when it comes to Seattle so it's not to say that you can't do well in Seattle or that ultimately if you're an attractive Asian guy you're probably going to be fine anywhere but uh you know maybe Seattle's better than it was 10 years ago so anyways uh someone else said hey uh by the way I want to chime in and say Washington DC is not very great for an Asian guy uh if you're not into the type a professional personality types I've only seen like three Asian guys in the past few month gone clubbing uh even though I've done pretty decent uh Washington DC is pretty white overall so here's the funny thing if you go out to the clubs in Nightlife and you go to the popular nightlife areas and you see very very few Asian guys it's a sign it's a sign saying that there's not to say that there's not Asian guys in that City but that a lot of Asian guys don't feel confident in competing in The Nightlife realm and nlife by the way I do want to say it's a selective population it's usually a taller group of people it's usually the flashier more confident people yes I do think that nightlife of course brings out the baddies you you know the hatties the ladies who are very appealing who want to show out and get attention and people who are very social so it plays into that style of person so if you go out to the big nightclubs and you don't see any Asian dudes in your area I mean it goes to show you that the Asian dudes are doing something else on a Friday Saturday night you know clearly they don't they don't feel confident enough to compete with the rest of the people you know um and they don't think it's going to be worth their time so anyways uh don't bother with Washington DC if you're not a type A personality so this is my overall take um I do think the truth is like wherever you find women that find you desirable then it's probably a good sign that you're going to have a decent social life I know that they're not correlated one to one but let's be honest if women can find you attractive that means even other people are going to find you attractive in other ways like if women really like you that in a way does mean that other guys will find you respectable will like you maybe in that non-romantic way you know what I mean so uh it kind of just means you're appealing and you're cool and so I think that that is something that you guys can look for when you guys are thinking about a different city one tip that I would have is before you spend time in any City or before you move to a certain city and you're a single guy and you're wondering how the dating life is set up a solid dating profile and swipe in that City swipe in that City for a week and see what happens and that will be symbolic it doesn't mean everything because sometimes dating in person is a lot you know some people are more inperson guys who they just need to approach a lot of women and and they're just very socialable on in person and maybe they aren't very photogenic for example you know that's possible um so but I would say that is just one thing to gauge it on you know and if you get a lot of matches somewhere I don't know maybe that's a good sign you know if women are immediately attracted to you um I haven't spent a lot of time in Hawaii but Hawaii obviously is a logical step but I don't think Hawaii is practical for a lot of people like to be honest I'm not going to lie I think a lot of people are not counting Hawaii fully because it is so far off the mainland but it is so different so any place where like white guys feel uncomfortable which maybe some white guys feel uncomfortable in Hawaii from what I've heard obviously it's probably better for Asian guys funny enough anyways it really matters what you're uh adding to the city and how you fit into that City's culture uh you know as someone who's lived in Seattle La New York spent time in Hong Kong Toronto and even spent time in Shanghai if you are not plugged in to any certain scene it's going to be hard if you're like a transplant okay let's say you're a tech transplant and you're an engineer so your job is spent around a lot of like other kind of nerdy engineer people mostly guys then you're left to fend for yourself in your social life so you move to a new city and you're immed getting on the apps but maybe you don't do that well on the apps maybe you're not super photogenic maybe you're not you're not very good-look or maybe you're not able to set up a good profile or whatever it is so you're relying on the apps to set up your social life and then you have to go what cold Approach at like you know bars and clubs which may or may not uh you may or may not have a lot of practice in or may uh nowadays be perceived to be a little bit more uh taboo I guess unfortunately even though I think meeting people in person is should still be the number one way to do it um but yeah then you're a Lone Ranger and then you just have to be a very strong and resilient person as a transplant with no friends in that City so I I think it is tough you know and especially if that City doesn't have a booming robust social life uh that you can kind of like go in and kind of just meet people at uh yeah it's tough um I think that if you are granted a good position at a big company that has like men and women working at that company I think I think that's not a terrible place to start so wherever you get a good job at a big diverse company I think it is solid because that's going to be immediately your social grounds you know a lot of people they're going to have outings or you know you're going to meet other people who have stuff set up you know you got to make friends at the end of the day you have to be a likable person even your co-workers to be likable to the outside people because if your co-workers think you're likable they'll be like oh why don't you come join me for this thing and then you meet people there at their uh social outings if you can get to know business owners and bar or club Owners in those cities that is also an advantage so this is something that I've learned that if you know business owners where they have a lot a lot of patrons and they're part of a community then that's not a bad place to start either because you're going to meet so many people through that you know what I mean so being able to add to people's lives that way you know and and again like you know if you're like a a graphic designer or something I think on the side or if you're a photographer I think that's a great way to meet people and use your talent and hobby or job to network where you provide something of value to people you can take photos for your for their business or take photos for them and network or like hey you're like hey let me design something for you on the side that can help you out um design a flyer or something like that I think you would just have to add value to the city that you're going to if you can add value in a city you will get some value back you know that's the key thing remember this a lot of people their transplants they move to a city and they're like oh I make 300K as a coder how come I'm not getting any play well I'm like well you're not really adding value to these Social Circles so figure out a way um someone also said yeah like you know yeah there's places in the South where Asians are not like dumped on you know I think that if you uh uh like Nashville Atlanta you know obviously I think there's a lot of Asians there's growing as populations in those places so if you fit into that type of Asian I think you should go there but yeah overall my usual picks would be New York and La just because it has the options and diversity um big Metro areas and uh New York is great for type A guys that's all I'll say I think La has both sides you could be type A there and also type B and still live a good chill life um so I think those are it but of course again like I said wherever you're plugged in if you're plugged in in Houston check that out if you're plugged in in Dallas check it out if you're plugged into the scene in Boston check it out um again you're just gonna have to add value to any community that you become part of and uh I think that's what a lot of transplants don't understand you guys forget you just move to a city and think oh everybody like me I'm like dude you still got to show that you want to be part of this city so yeah add value where you can get plugged in where you can that's my take uh overall let me know what you guys think about this video what are your other takes uh every Asian guy is different and provides something different and every Asian guy has a different vibe so let me know where you've succeeded at maybe you've succeeded in Denver Colorado I know there's a Vietnamese population out there uh I wouldn't usually assume that that's a place where Asian guys want to move to for social reasons but who knows maybe you did well so let me know in the comments down below until next time I'm out peace
