how to stand out as an asian guy 

Im black but im watching this. all of your advice is pretty good.

I'm not even a dude and I'm not even Asian, but this advice is so straightfoward. This is a goldmine. I'm even hyping up this video to my other female friends because they struggle with social skills. My big issue is fashion and career. But I could definitely work on everything here. Thanks man. The tdee calculator and advice about using pinterest starting out is so helpful

I agree with this list but I would say: 1. There's a sixth pillar for more feminine things like cooking, playing the piano, being cultured, dancing. It's not as important as the other pillars though, but it's worth spending time on this after excelling at the other categories. 2. Cold approaching people is good practice but I feel like it's not the natural way of progressing socially and can be daunting. Usually people improve their social skills through friend/work groups, parties, events, meetups for hobbies, team sports, the nature of your job. It's also a better way of integrating into society/communities.

I really appreciate the last section with the life platform/pillar graphic. As someone with adhd tendencies it’s difficult to keep track of priorities, especially if there are no deadlines. This way of looking at it gives me a better sense of how to stay grounded and balanced.

this video just gave me a confidence boost bc as a 17 year old i already think that my fitness, hair, skin and fashion is alright, and i have a job and i drive so yeah i think im doing pretty good.

this video is well made. i like how there's no unnecessary intro, background music, etc. i also like the advice, everything is on point.

The analogy at the end and the Maplestory reference is so Asian and relatable. I love that so much. Subscribed

You are a super clear communicator man. Love the explanation finished up with an actionable step. Def working on all these aspects. Month by month we're making progress! Edit: lmaooo i just got to the demon slayer analogy XD

Wow thank you for putting these ideas into such a concise form, very straightforward and entertaining way. I loved this whole video and you’ve definitely got my subscription.

Thanks for being straightforward and not wasting time. :D

Hey dude your advice is so great. You deserve more views.💪

i see these looks maxing videos all over RU-vid but there have never been any targeted for Asian men. I am happy that I’ve came across this channel!

You had me relate with those gaming analogies, leveling up and adding attributes to self. 😂 Thank you for the advice. A lot of great points well-said.

Solid solid advice bro. This is great. Subbed! I would like to add that guys should start with fitness. Something about when that gets sorted out, things fall into place quicker.

Loving the frequent uploads bro great video as per

brooo youre about to hit 5 K i just found ur channel and its really good thanks bro

Height. Height is what makes *those* Asian men stand out.

I've never imagined myself watching this type of videos before but you know people change, Even though im really thankful for the tips❤

Thanks my guy this really helped me out 👍🏿👍🏿

Damn what a high quality video. Thanks for the tips! You’ll go big later for sure

Great tips man. Thank you!

Solid advice. Thanks for this vid man 🙏

Power introvert here. Definitely can relate to the mental block with regards to talking with strangers

Lol the CS major thing is so accurate, in my cs classes the class rep had to write up an announcement to tell mfs to shower 🤢. Im a tall mixed black white guy but a lot of the points in this, while "obvious" are important and I like how you made it actionable. I def know a few ppl who desperately need these tips. Atm im still tryna work on social skills, as much as I've gained confidence as an introvert, I still hate small talk and my social battery gets drained pretty fast.

Bro the picture of you smiling is so funny for some reason 😂

Literally the best advice

Once I graduated college & got my first job soon after at the start of 2020, for whatever reason I started developing plenty of cystic acne around my chin, jaw & cheek areas. I mean I've had cystic acne before, but it was never this bad. Idk what caused it, maybe it was because that was my first 1st shift job ever, or since it was my first IT job, it was the stress, or maybe it was depression because me & some girl stopped talking, but It was super downbad about going to work everyday like that. That was right before the pandemic hit too, so they started requiring mask, which I think also contributed to my acne. I was a bit relieved when the pandemic hit & we were fully remote then. During that time, I decided to give up soda, even when I go to a fast food, I would just ask for bottled water with my meal. And I also started using La Roche Posay, & I think it helped. My facial skin isn't amazing, but I'm content with it. I'll get a pimp here & there, but it'll never be that bad & I don't think I had a cyst in a while. At first I was doing the full La Roche Posay routine, but got lazy & now I just use the face watch. I'll use the other products from the routine every now & then when I see a pimple or feel like I'm breaking out, & it works for me.

Vid popped out recommended to me, decided to give it a watch and thanks for the advice! Was really thinking of working on myself, for the past year I've been feeling in the dumps for a while haha, the 4th pillar is definitely hard for me covid just made an introvert, want to approach people and make new friends but it's hard irl than online but I'll try my best!! I'll most likely struggle with fashion and social skills :((

Having a huge physically defining trait kind of holds me back, but the tips are pretty good thanks

Hi I just want to say I accidentally stumbled on your channel and I find your content is really high quality. As an asian guy this is very helpful. Keep on doing what you are doing. Suscribed!

Im not even human and this helps me a lot thanks

balance is the real important one people rarely mention.

Very true about the fitness part. I stand out more because I am the only asian in the group that is hella fit.

So just be good at everything.

thanks for thinking about us asains ❤

Thank you so much Timothy! I like that you made some actionable steps, so that we the viewers can act on it immediately, I also like how simple you've laid it out for us viewers, by making some easy to understand metaphors to show the importance of an action! God bless your channel!

bro your advice of using a basic attack and then adding buffs WITH the demon slayer inserts. i was dying laughing but you make so much sense lmaooooo

It's cool to know that there's another asian guy named Timothy out there

As a raccoon, I needed this information, thanks

as a latino man I hope I can stand out as an asian man after watching this

ngl im doing these 5 things and have been on like 70ish dates in the past year in NYC but still havent had much success finding a S.O Im 5'11", 28 y.o AM make top 1% in America, 0.1% for my age group, 6.75" down under, went to a top 20 school and have masters, I would say I have top 5 percentile skin, above average in looks, naturally ISTJ so that hurts my odds as I sometimes have trouble making conversations more smooth and less awkward but have worked on that quite a bit (alc helps!), I would say top 25% in terms of body/fitness? im definetely not a casual lifter anymore having worked out consistently for 10+yrs, and definetely spent a lot on researching fashion and upgrading my wardrobe, also I take high quality DSLR pics so its easy to get matches and go on dates. personality seems to be a huge thing holding me back, also it hurts since i have high standards haha Also its not easy looking for something serious in NYC with so many options

You should make videos some guides on how to find the right career. Or just how to build each pillar for a guy in 2024!

Really good info!

And most importantly, have confidence. No matter if your the Adonis amongst men or just human. A man who can laugh at himself and look up at the sky and say “F*ck it.” Is if not the most charming and human things someone can do, flawed but still human. Be yourself, away from stereotypes, mental health, insecurities and impurities, once you realize that you’re truly are your own individual, everything, and everyone seems to make sense. “If you change yourself, your surroundings and your future changes alongside you.”

To all asians, from an asian, remember the most important thing when you're trying to get a good personality is being a nice person overall. 1. People cater to nice people, cool and uncool people alike and connections you make age better. 2. Remember that you represent all us asians, the ones that came before and comes after. 3. You give asians in the west a good role modell of an asian person actually living in the west. Most of our role modells growing upp were probably jackie chan, goku or buakaw whom all didn't live in the west. You might have had a great interaction with someone but if you're not a nice person, that's going to rot your social life.

Bro's maplestory armor set shows he's a real one xD thanks though this is hella helpful!

This isn't for everyone but make up is genuinely a game changer for me bro. Got a lot of compliments when I was doing cosplay w it on, decided to incorporate it into my fashion and I get more compliments now. Shout out to east asian artists for normalizing this cuz I look fabulous as hell w it on.

right on, brotherham!

taking notes

Thank you bro for these infos. You got a fitness routine what kind of physique you got?

I remember watching these kinds of videos when i was single. But now im happy and at peace.

I am not a human but lm watching this. all of your advice is pretty good

Wow, thanks for ironically making it even harder to stand out now. Now that more guys have these tips, it'll be even more challenging. 😐

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHHHH WOOOOOO GREAT VIDEO

nice video!

as a white guy i can confirm this will make me stand out as an asian guy 💯

I think I have allat that but it's just my eyebrow haha, like I groomed but idk how to rlly shape my eyebrow so it looks natural. Like I got thick eyebrow

I think the title could just be "how to stand out as a guy". This is a great video, I just don't think it's more applicable to asian guys opposed to any other race of guy. I really like the immediate actionable steps you included.

To every Asian dude who’s skeptical about following this videos principals, you DO NOT need to change your core personality and aspirations to achieve this. That being said you should aim to strike something of a balance between all 5 in some way while also forming your own little nuance. For example, i’m a British-Filipino bloke (raised in Essex, England) and I live in NYC. A year ago after a particular nasty breakup that did a number on my mental health and self esteem for a few minutes I went through a bona fide villain era (fucking hate saying that unironically 😂 ), I started investing in my fitness and physique again (through a clean and lean diet, Boxing, Muay Thai and daily 1 hour cardio), switched my aesthetic by virtue of two small silver piercings, experimenting with jewelry and a wavy/loose curly perm to my grown out hair, invested in skincare products me and i adopted a quiet luxury/pretty boy wardrobe, and wear quarter zips and khaki trousers/pants now, and of course the British Accent was nothing short of a piece de resistance when it came to dating here in the states lmao. In terms of my career I’m currently aiming for a switch up towards the public sector. The point is, it was only a year ago I was like all the skeptics and neighsayers when it came to switching up my brand for the sake glowing up. It’s been a year since and stepping out of my proverbial comfort zone and changing up my looks, aesthetics, values and priorities has honestly changed my life for the better All the while I’m still the same homesick essex boy from Wickford, now living in America, who watches premier league football on Sundays and craves nandos 24/7, I’m just riding the high of emerging Asian male aesthetics and leveraging every aspect of my roots to my advantage.

Im just a minute in and you've already pretty much hit the nail on the head. As a gay dude whose primarily attracted to Asian guys, everything you said pretty much lines up with what I think too. Especially with what you said about most of your "competition" being guys who are skinny fat -- its actually not as hard as people think to slim down and "be more attractive". As you said, eating clean protein is a surefire way to slimming down. People dont realize how satiating eating JUST protein can be, which can lead to less calories, while supplying the necessary building blocks for the muscles. It might not be "easy" but its WAAYY simpler than it looks. Overall great advice haha! My gay ass approves

You can stand out as a lone wolf or a sigma male also. It invokes alot of curiosity in people especially when you wear fancy but dark clothing all the time.

Those five things are correct. But I would prefer talking with people who make sense, which is completely different from having good "social skills". A warm, intelligent and polite person impresses me. I don't care how they look but it would be a plus if they are attractive physically. The person who is talking is a bit shy, I think. I can be wrong but there is some shyness in him. He is probably the type of person who is shy at first but once he got comfortable, you will really enjoy his company.

6th pillar: change smoke alarm batteries

Top 20% in career is the most difficult in my opinion. Takes alot of goal setting and hard work, passion, and talent.

When i was in japan i realized Asians might be the most clean cut & well fitting clothing ive seen. No one lacked, they all stepped out with a fresh haircut & neat lookibg clothes.

Just to name a few: Cholo Asian, punk Asian, stoner Asian, Irish Asian, heck even homeless Asian.

in the thumbnail of this video, whats the 3rd photo guy’s name?

step 21: be yourself

my bible 🙏

I’m kinda skinny 53 kg but I have face fat , and I’m going to gym from Jan 1 . Hope I can achieve my goal

Im not gay, but you have a pretty good jawline

1. Get a dog, now u win the comptition

These 5 simple steps to the deepest frustration in your life.

i aint asian but ill take this advice, yoink

Remember that you will looking stupid when you do these things for the first time, and it's natural.

How much is the owest priced coaching tier?

and driving. 🛣️

For all men in general

Sounds expensive ima just stay in the shadows

Thank you so much ❤ and I’m a girl😊

Great job covering a majority of these issues; very foundational and informational. I'm Thai/Viet, this is what I've learned: just as Asian women, who are fetishized, so are Asian men. Stereotypically, we're seen as nerdy, smart etc but also as a sexy and skilled race of people. Take advantage of these positives and exceed expectations; be excellent in everything you do. Since most of us here are Asian, I'll just be blunt: women love our 'chinky' eyes & soft yet sharp features. We're the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, the ying and yang. Redirect their gaze & attention to your face: groom your brows, have a skin care routine as stated in the video: cleanser and moisturizer should suffice (my dermatologist recommends to include retinol and sunscreen. I personally include an eye cream as well, everything Cerave). If you got acne, don't let it affect your confidence but do something about it: see a dermatologist, exercise, diet, minimize your vices. Also have a cool hairstyle. Our culture has anime and edginess, take inspiration from this haha. Physique: Genetically, a lot of us are gifted with broad shoulders and decent shape; work with what God gave you! Build a nice chest and shoulders. Pullups have helped me obtained an absolutely SLUTTY physique. with my back being my strongest feature. The vtaper wide back, broad shoulder, & small waist is undefeated when it comes to the female gaze. Also, have decent arms, the bigger the better. An aesthetic, lean, muscular build caters to a majority of men & women. Most of us naturally look like this so capitalize on what you have. If you're blessed with more muscle mass, you can NEVER, EVER go wrong with being a swoledier boi, let's be real gang. Style: Tim goes over this well. At first, you may feel awkward wearing something you're not used to but the more you incorporate it into your wardrobe, the more natural it will be. Learn to accessorize. For me, I use a cheap old money Casio watch, a hair tie, a red string "Asian" bracelet, an "Asian" beaded bracelet, and a gold chain that my mother gave me that I tuck in my shirt. I think the more subtle and simple you can be, the sexier you'll look. The thing about accessories is that it doesn't have to be quality. I use H&M and it's cheaaap. A night out look for me is a fitted shirt to highlight my build tucked into some jeans/slacks, belt and boots. I thrift so my look is probably under $100 every time. Personally, it's my biggest flex the cheaper my fit is haha but If you don't know where to start, think of the typical Kevin Nguyen / Li Shang meme with the fitted black tee, chain, and tatts. A good starter and generally sexy look on men of any race but of course, the goal is to add more individuality into your look. This will happen over time. Skills: We've all had comments that Asians do some sort of kung-fu karate, etc implying people view us as people who are SKILLED. I've gotten comments like these multiple times in the past few weeks because of my physique, style, and how I carry myself (I don't do any martial arts haha): use this stereotype to your advantage! The more physical the skill is the better in my opinion; it plays on the whole stereotype of being a "ninja" and athletic. Being good in the arts such as playing an instrument (typical in our culture; piano, guitar, etc) is very sexy. Kpop/BTS has had a huuuuge influence globally, please thank Junglekock daily. Finally have some standards and be different. Ditch the drugs, alcohol, vapes, etc. Everyone and their mother does that nowadays. Be the black sheep like Cloud Strife yadigg (iykyk). Other races generally see us in a positive light so take advantage of this. Like I said before, minimize your vices, capitalize on your strengths, play on your stereotypes, be self aware, and build your confidence and money. PEACE&LOVE.

I like his sharp teeth
