'Nerdy' stereotypes and cultural anxiety: Dating as an Asian-Australian male

When it came to dating, I felt like I had to overcome barriers that my non-Asian friends didn't have to. It cost me a lot of confidence over time, writes Eugene Yang.

Guy in the blue pants reminds me of this, which I originally thought was a pic of Matt caught in the wild.

You have too much of a good opinion for him.

So Matt, are you skilled with a crowbar?

I tend to imagine most everyone a bit on the attractive side. There's nothing really to it other than I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, both in appearance and personality.

(This has, however, backfired on me rather drastically a few times over the years.)

Well, if someone has a picture they use frequently, I do tend to picture them in that way. So MiyazakiHatesKojima is pretty much this guy on a photogenic day.

Honest question. What is your obsession with this guy here on GAF? Like can you function in society if you aren't thinking and talking about Papa Good lord.

Have you ever been in love?

 

[Dthomp]

Only the fun real kind, you know IRL

I guess I'm old fashioned, I told her how I felt about her, I guess I should have drug her name all over GAF instead. Then she'd have known I cared.

My Aunt and her family grew up in Sydney back in 1996. She had 8 children during her time in Australia and it wasn't until 2005 when I met them for the first time.

I remember I got along very well with her sons (my cousins) and they would talk about Australia all the time. One night, we made a tent in my bed room and spoke about some of the most terrifying things they've experienced.

My cousins spoke about an Australian who they considered to be the Boogeyman who didn't look white and possessed an idiosyncratic ethnicity, kind of like Totoro's idiosyncratic nature.

Ever since that fateful night, I began dreaming and thinking if I'll ever meet this Aussie Boogeyman. That's when I found NeoGAF on January 10th, 2019......and the rest is history.

You meant to write, you made a "bed room" in your tent, don't you?

 

[belmarduk]

Not a bad looking guy at all.
I pictured him much older and white.

After reverse image searching this, I've now learned that women have been writing thirsty fanfiction for at least 2500 years.
