Why is traveling and working in Asia so controversial?

There's always a never-ending "debate" about how and if you should go there, which countries are respectable, what job you should have if you don't want to be seen as a loser back home, what a sexpat is or isn't, how much of the language you should or shouldn't learn...

You also have this odd circular firing squad where foreigners in these countries play pick-me and throw each other under the bus. You also have this odd phenomenon of Asian diaspora types furiously gatekeeping the old country.

Why is Asia in particular like this? No other part of the world seems remotely as contentious. Not even the ones you'd think might be, like Africa or the Middle East.

What's going on?

        You sound like a Pajeet and I don't know your circumstances, but I wouldn't go anywhere without a work contract arranged first, you're asking to get totally exploited or fricked over somehow. Whenever you go abroad, do everything by the book unless you want the book thrown at you.

        I'm Singaporean, if you're finding work, you better have good credentials cause you'd be competing with local university grads (our top 3 universities are some of the best in the world). You'll also need an employer to get you a work pass. Also yes you can travel to Singapore via bus from Malaysia but be prepared for a jam because the checkpoint is very busy.

      Because a lot of people who idolise Japan and Asian culture are utter weebs or weirdos.

      Places that's the British had a big role in seem to be exempt from it. Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia all have the veiw of western aligned business centers, you can bump into a lot of people who have lived and worked there, Hong Kong was British administration into the 90's. I even fricked a girl who said she was Malaysian, just looked like any other white British girl, but both her parents were brits who lived and worked in Malaysia, she was born and grew up there.

    99% of people moving to Asia are LBH. They see Asia as the solution to their problems. When they see other people encroaching on their fairyland, they get aggressive. it's funny. ask anyone who moved to japan or korea why they moved. they will always masquerade their reason like "HEALTHCARE, ITS SAFE, DURRR" but just chat with them for an extra hour. it's always because of kpop, asian fetish, or anime. ALWAYS.

          This. Your 20s are your golden years, anything else is cope. Thankfully NDEs are real and prove that there is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die, so that is the main source of comfort with growing older.

          Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

          It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

          https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

          >"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

          Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

          Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:

          >"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."

          Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.

            > Nah 30s are the best!
            > After you turn 5, it's over!

            I've been told that 20s are the best and I have to enjoy them. My 20s were shit, a fricking nightmare of betrayal, poverty, and grind. Now in my early thirties and my life is 50x better.

            Point being... maybe speaking in general terms, like you here, is not the smartest thing to do?

      A person is only a loser if they give up and never change their shitty situation. The people shaming others for bettering themselves are bitter losers themselves. Remember, success kills jealousy and the only people that use the term "LBH" are always jealous, bitter people.

        Bettering you situation and bettering yourself aren't the same.
        Bettering yourself would entail becoming a better person and stop being a loser (even in your own environment).
        Going to a poorer country to stretch your dollar and bank on other people's misery isn't the same, that's why that's seen in a bad light.

      There is no debate. People here are trolling.
      This guy is a troll, and uses the right buzzword to trigger the morons here into believing him.

      There's 3 types of people who move to asia:

      1. The depressed white liberal/incel who has an asian fetish/kpop fetish/anime fetish and who's main reason is to "maybe" meet an asian woman/guy to marry there or simply frick as many of them as possible to feel "free" again. Those types want to "start over" because they fricked up everything back home but don't realize they're considered like wienerroaches in the countries they want to live and work in, especially in korea and Japan.

      There's a black french youtuber who moved to Korea and got a "korean gf", dated her for 1-2 years until she got tired of her BBC fetish and dumped his ass, and the guy legitimately thought he was going to marry her and spend the rest of his life in asia, it ultimately broke the guy and he became a cringeworthy homosexual as a result. The guy looks like he's about to shoot himself in the fricking head but pretends he loves the country even though every single person he meets looks at him like some extraterrestrial Black.

      They'd have an easier time "starting over" simply moving to europe or some other western country, but instead insist on trying to be accepted by asians because "they're westerners so it should be easy". Turns out wages in both Korea and Japan are shit and work hours are long, and you have to work twice as hard as the local folks to avoid getting gangraped in your performance review.

      2. The rich/old retired person who just wants to live the good life with his retirement money instead of living like a peasant in his home country.

      Instead of living in an apartment in a neighborhood full of Black folk and refugees and risk getting mugged every day while "retired", he can rent or buy a very nice condo in thailand and just enjoy life on the beach.

      3. The perverted sperg who just wants to frick women, trannies, underage girls, typically old pedos who can't stop thinking about fricked up sexual fetishes but nowadays a lot of young dudes you consider "coomers" are exactly like this.

      This guy has never been to Asia and uses "black french (tautology) youtubers in korea" as an example of why living in Asia is a bad idea.

      Do certain people hold certain opinions when they know you're an expat in Asia ? Yes, absolutely. Do they come from a place of understanding, or simply cliches and stereotypes ? Obviously the latter.

      There are only two people that I feel are somehow entitled to a justification, and these people are my parents. They didn't buy it at first, and I did not care. Then they came to Taiwan, saw where I lived, met my girl, saw how I interacted with people -and saw how they interacted back. My father asked me to look for a 6 month rental somewhere in Taipei because he loves it now.

      If you don't like "Asia" (as if the entire continent was a monolith) stay right where the frick you are. I do not want your moronic ass anywhere near my cool shit.

    Online this happens because Asia is a place of extremes. Some areas are extremely impoverished shitholes that attract begpackers and sexpats. There are other super wealthy areas where people will assume you're some white businessman or financial analyst there to make a lot of money before heading home. And of course, the neverending scourge of Koreaboos and Weeaboos who embarrass the rest of us.
    In real life pretty much none of this stigma exists other than specifically Thailand (sexpats) and Japan (weeaboos). Even then, the average normie is not going to call you out directly.

    After I got my masters degree I came for a job opportunity that paid close to 6 times as much as my old dead end job. All the other reasons for coming to Japan are still there, but I don't have to justify anything to anyone. Been here for 5 years, survived COVID lockdowns which forced a lot of folks hand to leave Japan, now married and ain't never going back. Just the stuff I have planned this year makes me realize how lucky I am:

    -trip to Korea for Golden week
    -climb Fuji with Brother in July
    - trip to Hokkaido to eat myself under the table
    -trip to Nikko for Fall foliage
    -Sumo tournament
    -a few ski trips taking shape next year in onsen resort towns.

    And I still get to pop into a dingy retro arcade for fighting games at ¥50 a pop.

    I think it benefits anyone willing to live abroad regardless if you are a walking cliche about coming or weaboo or whatever, if you make and put down roots great, welcome! If you frick up and have to return home with regrets, hey you fricking tried and that's better than 99 of folks who never leave their hometown

          Currently finishing a 1 month trip in Kyushu, I was supposed to move April 2020 but borders shut. However during covid I got a job that pays ~3x what even the most generous employers offer over here and with current economy a transfer to the Tokyo office seems unlikely. However after this trip it really reignited the passion I had pre COVID. It's just really hard to leave so much money on the table, although the CoL is much cheaper than Seattle. Hats off to you and the other jpn folks here. I really don't want to go back to where I can't walk to the girlfriends without feeling anxious. Maybe I'll get lucky and score a transfer. If anyone is in the tech scene lmk, specifically backend stuff, Im curious about a lot of the startups I see on Japandev and Tokyodev. I got offers from like 4 of the bigger companies in 2020 but curious about some of these newer startups if anyone has experience in the area.

    >Why is traveling and working in Asia so controversial?

    White losers have no skills. Their skill is teaching something that they NATURALLY SPEAK and write. They could be working towards making 6 figures salary from their mid to late 20s but instead they elect to make $2K a month teaching english a SEA shithole.

    They ARE teh "losers back home"

      But I think the question is why it’s particularly controversial to be a “white loser” in Asia, compared to doing precisely the same thing in say, Africa, or Latin America.

        Because teaching english is the biggest in SEA / Asian countries. It doesn't help that male english teachers get a bad rep for fricking their students. If you had WHITE Americans doing software engineer or being doctors in SEA / Asian countries, then there wouldn't be a bad rep.

          The English teachers ruin it for everybody else, I agree. They are all weirdos, and they have maximum exposure with the population as opposed to a DN SWE who are sparse.

          But I don't see anything wrong with somebody improving their situation in life. Calling somebody a LBH, typically coming from a woman, is typically a roastie cope. They found a way out of the system and a way that they can improve/enjoy life, and the roasties hate that.

            Haters gonna hate. They'll hate anyone living life and enjoying themselves more than they are. Unless a TEFL fricked their sister or ex-girlfriend, there's really no other reason to give a shit what someone does in another part of the world.
            Although your point about roasties is true too. Roasties are natural haters. It's a feminine and beta characteristic.

              I'm not even a TEFL but when I tell people I'm a digital nomad they get salty as frick. legitimately angry about the fact that i have no attachments and travel about wherever i want. especially white american women, its always "well why don't you stay here? well why don't you buy a house and get a wife? well why don't you blah blah blah". the men just look at me with this forlorn expression, like they want to do what im doing but can't because cuck reasons. the envy is palpable.

              men want to be free, women don't want you to. that's what ive learned.

                I always laugh internally when I hear "digital nomad".

                Large majority of the time it's someone who has moved to start a business or is doing graphic design or some other gig economy with income that varies like a rollercoaster that will eventually end up back home in a year.

                Smaller percentage are the guys using their work from anywhere for 3 months incentive from their company back home and are basically on holiday working.

                Smaller percentage guys taking contract roles.

                Smaller percentage are the guys who are "digital nomads" but still pay tax back in their home country, are working on tourist visas and their company has no idea they are abroad.

                Even smaller percentage are the guys who actually found a company that would pay them a decent salary, allow full remote globally and allow you to pay taxes wherever you are. (Almost always starts up acting out of ignorance and are unstable)

                Either way, whichever one.. having to hop around living out of hotels / airbnbs.. never fully settling anywhere... the tax concerns / visa concerns.. it's extra stress and bullshit on top of your day job AND all the usual expat shit you have to deal with.

                I'm a SWE fully remote in my home country and honestly I'd rather quit and do TEFL for a year or two than all that shit.

                Guys, my point here is not that living / working abroad is a bad thing. Of course it's better than the regular 9-5 --> buy a house --> mortgage route.

                I'm saying that shilling "just become a digital nomad!" is a complete pipe dream like I pointed out before, only the very minority of people land these golden eggs of fully global remote, pay taxes locally etc. I'd recommend just applying for a tech job in a local company other it even, even with the higher work load and lower pay.

                I doubt anyone here has even gone through the process of trying to find one of these roles, so they have no idea... Especially now with all the lay offs.

                I make roughly $180k a year, $160k base w/ a ~%20 end of year performance bonus. I was paying $800 a month in state income tax, I dodged that right off the bat by getting a SD drivers license. After health insurance (which has international coverage) I net about $10k a month after federal taxes and 401k contributions.

                My intercontinental flight costs me about $1400 which I do only once every 3-6 months. AirBnB monthly is $600 for SEA and $900 for LATAM, I’m probably getting gouged but I like staying in nice places, sue me. Food is dirt cheap, I don’t buy groceries I just eat out every day for ~$20 a day and that includes a couple beers. With transport and other incidentals I’m looking at $1500 a month, tack on the cost of the intercontinental flight and amortize the cost over 3-6 months and it’s ~$2k a month, all in. I don’t drink too much and I don’t coom a whole lot, I’ll have an “off the rails” weekend where I’ll blow $300 on a hooker and a night of boozing but that’s usually at the very end when I’m about to go back to the states. So I’m banking $8k on average into my Robinhood account on top of my 401k contributions. It’s only when I come back to the states do my expenses skyrocket, I’m paying $4-5k a month when I live here and that’s in some B tier city like Denver or Austin.

                When you consider how depressing the yuppie dating scene is in America, moving to another country keeps making more and more sense for someone like you.

                Imagine you're back in Austin. On Friday night, you have plans with a 7/10 Asian-American with a job at a fashion magazine. Chances are she think she's out of your league. She walks in like SHE'S the prize, even if she's not that pretty and has 30 bodies at 24. You drop $150 on drinks at some so-and-so dive bar and an overpriced Uber home. You text back and forth afterwards, but she rarely gets back to you. When you try to set up a next date, she never has the time. You don't see each other again.

                Picture the same weekend in Buenos Aires. You have hot 19 year olds at your beck and call, in the prime of their youth. They see YOU as the prize. You can keep a stable of them for the price it would take to keep ONE American roastie happy taking her to depressing microbreweries every weekend.

                No wonder you keep hearing about people getting the frick of America every day on the news. They've made the idea of STAYING completely insane.

                The thing I hate about the US is the HUSTLE AND BUSTLE attitude of everyone, people live to work instead of working to live, that’s what’s depressing. The US is the least comfy place in the world and at my age I just want to be comfy. Uncomfy people hate on that, they want you to engage in their neuroticism and stress and I’m doing my best to not to.

                I had a lot more fun dating in America once I stopped caring what the women thought. When it came Friday night I thought of something I wanted to do that sounded fun, then I'd go on Tinder and ask all my matches if they wanted to come. Usually one would say yes and we'd have a good time. It took a lot of rejection to gain this mindset. Lots of girls I would meet and like a lot, then I'd get disappointed when they'd dump me. Eventually you learn to live with yourself, learn how to be happy on your own. Once that happens the women just become the cherry on top. It's hard being a guy sometimes.

                The proof is in the pudding when you look at Winston (serpentza, that cringy youtuber). He made videos about how he was pick on growing up because he was fat. I can well believe the idea he's never had feminine attention in his life, just from the way he is. There's no mistaking it: he's a loser, a bum, a fool ("I trained doctors in China" lol).

                Forced to make cringy politicized YouTube videos now that he can't even support himself the only way he knows how, giving English lessons in China. He has dim economic prospects; he's South African, he may be white but his career opportunities are shit unless he has another passport. On top of that, he has like the opposite of charisma. He always comes off condescending and tryhard when you speak to him. He's always parading in ridiculous cheap suits when in China to LARP as an actual professional, when anyone with half a brain knows that's a lie.

                And yet, he's married to a doctor, a woman who on top of that isn't bad looking either. Yes she's a divorcée and he probably snagged her at 27, well beyond her expiration date for dating Chinese guys. But the fact that an objective failure like Winston can pull like that in China proves JBW isn't completely dead.

                In b4 someone calls me gay for him, but despite some hair loss and weight issues, Winston does actually have a very "normie" looking face. He doesn't look at all ugly, just like very much an everyman.

                Combine that with a little dressing up (the suit thing is fine in Asia because these people barely believe in the concept of overdressed plus it beats the meme ratty t-shirt and cargo pants look that teachergays usually get teased mercilessly for) plus the fact that he had the sort of hobby a lot of Westoid-friendly Chinese girls would like (going on motorbike tours around China is sort of a textbook "look at me, I'm sort of adventurous, can do stereotypical guy stuff like fix engines, and am interested in your country" kind of thing) and I'm not surprised he was able to get some woman or women.

                Also, to be honest the meme that Western rusty social skills are easier to get away with in Asia is absolutely right. Just like Westerners often can't tell the difference between an Asian just being polite and humble by their standards and someone unusually shy and bad at communicating, Asians male or female often can't tell the difference between an annoying loud doofus and a more "normally" extroverted, outgoing Westerner.

                Winston actually isn't that bad in this regard, but yeah he is a little autistic and yeah it obviously did slide in the Guo in a way that it might not quite have overseas. I do think he'd still be able to do say, a similar English teaching role in the West, but he might end up "that guy" among his co-workers or whatever.

                Oh shit is this a lowkey redpill? Because I know the Soviet spy Richard Sorge was absolutely slaying in the 1940's, and he was a motorcycle rider too. Used to drive so recklessly that he got in an accident that almost left him dead, because he drank himself under the table constantly to cope with the fact that, as a Soviet spy behind enemy lines in Imperial Japan, he'd face almost certain torture and execution if caught. But he somehow managed to make it alone until the ass end of the war (if he survived another year he would have probably not been caught and murdered by the Japanese).

                I'm 99% sure that he would have been a SighSee poster. Is riding a bike actually a playboy move? I can see how that sort of reckless bravery would be appealing to women. Imagine how thrilled a repressed Asian girl would be to hold a handsome foreigner tight and drive through a chaotic metropolis at 80mph.

                In the United States, he'd be basically an Uber Eats driver. Do you know how little adjunct professors make, compared to their levels of education? And that's for people with actual qualifications, unlike Winston. With an actual job at a university! Not everyone with a PhD lands a tenured position.

                Winston is living in Los Angeles, to my knowledge he is not a US citizen. But he has a wife and child, who are not US citizens either, that I know of. This restricts him to the most menial jobs, in one of the most expensive cities in the United States: a country which, due to its high salaries, can be impossibly expensive in some places. The fact that he's continuing to make his shit content even though he has nothing new to go on with is a clear sign of his desperation. He needs every penny of that little Youtube money he can get.

                You're getting into a payscale argument, I just meant that I think someone like him could probably get work as a TEFL teacher at a training center/cram school for Asians in LA or whatever even if he is a sperg.

                I'm guessing he's just sick of English teaching and would rather not, plus he's (in)famous now, so a lot of schools might not want the (negative) attention from the Chinese community and government that hiring someone like Winston would bring down on them. Once he went all political, there was no turning back.

                Think what you want about winston, he always gets back on his feet. Guy does whatever gets him money. It used to be IT and computer repairs, then it became english teaching, then youtube. If it works, it works. It's also very likely he's not just spending all his shit month to month, and has some investments on the side he's keeping private. Even youtube-wise, he managed to grow his channel even after he left China.
                If the whole youtube thing runs dry, he'll probably either change the formula or go with something else entirely.

                This idea that the guy is on his last legs when his entire life was basically him improvising all along is ridiculous.

                > But the fact that an objective failure like Winston can pull like that in China proves JBW isn't completely dead.

                In my 9 years in living in Asia (Taiwan, Singapore, China), I can guarantee, divorcee or not, that foreigners don't just all get with cute, young doctors like Sasha. A lot of them end up with uglies like them. Dating is certainly easier in China, but for marriages your expectations will be about what you'll get in the West. Also, this idea that chinese women are considered failures if they do not marry after 25 isn't true for all people, especially women who pursue long studies like she did. I've seen many girls pursuing a PhD in my former lab that only got married in their mid thirties and have zero problem going on regular dates. China is one billion and half strong, not everyone thinks alike.

                Winston pulls because he's a confident, adventurous dude that knows a little bit about the culture and knows how to navigate it.

                >he's a loser, a bum, a fool ("I trained doctors in China" lol).
                He's a guy who travelled across the entire continent, met a shit ton of people (probably fricked them, too), always got back on his feet, and has a lovely wife. You're on the travel board of SighSee hating on him. Who's the loser really ?

                You've got a warped vision of salary expectations bro. Most people in western europe earn around that figure for most of their lives. Earning that figure in SEA or mainland China basically guarantees that you'll have a more than honorable life.

                Not only that, but no matter what TEFLers say, your working condition are very, VERY good. Once your course material is figured out, you basically will be working between 20 to 30 hours doing low stakes tasks. If you're interested in earning more, moonlighting, online or otherwise, is always an option. And if you don't want to work, you basically have a more than tolerable working schedule that doesn't take a toll on your mind.

                Also, what are you going to do with that extra money anyway ? Buy a house ? Rent is 400 bucks.

                The frick is the matter with you people who think success is about working high stakes shit, having to spend your nights awake writing reports or dealing with crunch time ? That is literally your insecurity talking. I have nothing to compensate for.

                If you can, go ahead. If you can earn such an amount that will actually change your lifestyle to a healthier, superior one, go ahead. TEFLers earn more than most Taiwanese ever will, pay a third to a quarter of the rent you'll pay in a city of the same size as yours, and have nothing to ever worry about profession-wise : they will never run out of a job, they do not have any pressure associated with high stakes projects, and all their bosses ever ask out of them is their presence in class.

                At the same time, they have all the time in the world to either moonlight and double their salary, have some kind of occupation or hobby (DJs, bands, joining a club, working on a project on the side, professional or otherwise). Or they can fricking party and fingerfrick people as is customary in Asia. Why do you think so many of these homies are youtubers ? Even before they drop their jobs they have so much time on their hands they can literally drop a video every two weeks without any issues.

                You people wouldn't recognize a good life if it grabbed you by the pussy and fricked you in the ass.

        Two keep differences. One is that the languages in Asia are so hard for westerners, so people living there can't do anything adult like mail things at the post office or handle visa paperwork. At least if Latin America or Africa you can kinda get by with guessing similar words. Also, there's so much demand to go to those countries (because of anime, Kpop, and QT women) that they can get away with paying English teachers complete shit. At least other parts of the world have to pay decent salaries (by local standards) because noone would come there otherwise. But in Asia, especially Japan, you see this middle-aged white guys who are living at like 10th percentile of local income, completely unable to do any normal adult task, and they are obviously only there for some perverted reason.

        BTW I'm one of those guys.

    "if you're only successful going to Asia and can't make it in the US then you're a loser!"
    "Only losers and failures go to Asia"
    "Losers will still be losers in Asia"

    I never understood this mentality. Even former burger flipping uneducated English teachers are making bank. Why hate on them for increasing their wealth with little effort?

    Even if it is true, so what? Is it that these people can't stand when losers make more than them with less effort? Or are these people born with wealthy parents and hate opportunists? I'm really curious why these people are so obsessed hating on other people who would otherwise be wasting their lives getting mugged and flipping burgers in the US. Seems rather pathetic tbh.

        An average English teachers salary is roughly what Chinese professionals earn but with a fraction of the workload. Low cost of living and taxes mean you're saving most of what you make. If you're a hustler and stay long enough to make connections it's possible to earn six-figures (USD) with side gigs teaching rich Chinese families kids.

          the thing re: english teaching like this is that yeah you can eventually start stacking ideal work schedules like some school that needs you to work from 10am-1pm for 1,600 dollars, then do 2pm to 5pm for 2,000 a month then either some dedicated evening shit or tons of private classes. you can make a lot of money but the organizing of it and tendency for changes in schedule fricking up the whole thing can cause a lot of headaches.

            All that time and effort would be wasted on something with such low returns. You will never see "good" money teaching English, unless you work at a University. But once again, the money will be peanuts compared to what you could've attained in the west considering how much effort and time you had to put in.

              Not him but my master's degree was piss easy. Like 20 hours a week at most. And it was all bullshit too, if you've ever taken language didactics classes you'll know what I mean. These people actuallywrite theses to define what is an exercise and what is an activity in a language manual, if you aren't moronic it's a free degree.
              Same for my working hours, I really don't do much. The pay in Asia is actually better than the one I could get in Europe (except maybe in 2-3 countries). I don't teach English though I teach my native language.

              Also living abroad lets me cheat property taxes on property which is neither where I live nor in my home country, idk if it's the same for everyone.

              And much more importantly it's an actually enjoyable job because frankly writing lines of code all day or doing soulless e-marketing garbage would make me want to kill myself very quickly.

    I can’t stand that there’s homosexuals living my dream abroad. I’m too socially anxious to teach English and self counscious about how pathetic a job it is, but I’m also to low IQ and lazy to learn to code.

    Everyday is just me biding my time until I can go abroad somewhere. I have to wait until July 2024 to travel again, and it can only be for 6 months.

    If I was some room temperature IQ small town moron they knew absolutely nothing about how good life can be outside the US that’s one thing, but i literally lived like a king baller for 15 months and then tucked my tail between my legs and came home with no plan and 2k in my pocket.

    The feeling I get when im watching a macro economics podcast and one of the homosexuals is “reporting live from a hotel in Singapore” makes me want to kill myself. I know that homosexual is arbitraging his western salary and whiteness to regularly party with and have sex with white skinned East Asian cuties in a safe and homogenous culture of managers and respect for wealth etc.

      China is 100% guaranteed two weeks detention, followed by deportation and five-year entry ban (in all likelihood you'll never be issued a visa again even after five years). This is the case even if you test positive for drugs that you took before entering China. It would be extremely difficult to find drugs in any city other than maybe Shanghai as a tourist and even Shanghai they have done massive cleanup last few years.

                I sent them an email politely requesting an invitation before showing up. It's worth keeping in mind that you are NOT entitled to membership in any of these, they can and will revoke it at any time if they see fit. These places have to be on the straight and narrow to keep their licenses, so they keep their eyes peeled for anyone causing trouble.

                I saw another American get turned away because he thought he could show up before getting an invitation. They give them out to pretty much anyone who solicits one, but that does NOT mean you can just show up without it.

                There are strict laws governing weed clubs that mean they CANNOT adversely impact the character of a neighborhood. That means randos can't just wander in to get high. You are liable to get banned even for standing outside one scrolling your phone. The entrance has to be discrete and not advertise what it is in any way shape or form.

                They're supposed to be nonprofits, but it sounds like the ideal business to own. Imagine getting paid to sit around behind a counter, occasionally serving drinks to select people while stoned.

I feel disgusted by most western women (including western born Asians) since having that experience and coming back and feel like it's a good reason to move back, though there's down sides like the divorce situation in Japan and being able to basically legally kidnap kids and what not. Also feel disgusted by the cities here too since coming back, and thoroughly annoyed every time I see a 7-11 here.

    I think this debate is mostly online/imaginary, perpetuated mostly by people with yellow fever getting weird about being called out as people with yellow fever by other people with yellow fever. In the real world the enormous majority of normal people make no issue of working or traveling in Asia.

    That said, I was an academic focused on Asia (did PhD work in/about Thailand), and moved first in academic circles, then INGO/multilateral expat circles, then high-dollar white-collar corporate expat circles for quite a few years, and can say confidently that among white men, a significant majority of highly-paid professionals working on/in Asia, and a significant majority of academics studying Asian issues, are dudes with yellow fever. Nearly everyone I worked or studied with was amazed to learn my wife wasn’t Thai.

      You realize the entire point of "passport bros" is they don't give a single isolated frick what you think, right? Also, I'm willing to bet you've got the obligatory undercut and septum piercing, and are a tireless supporter of the current thing, but you're showing your own bigotry in your biases and implied superiority over women from SEA. The vast majority of which are more feminine, more educated, and more expressive than western thots.

      You literally can't compete, and that's why you're malding.

      >I confronted him on why he dated Asians
      A big reason is probably because they almost never grill someone who invested their time and money to take them on a date on their past dating choices. Ties into one of their biggest draws over white women; they don't see being agreeable, affectionate, and supportive to their man as being somehow beneath them.

      The simple fact of the matter is this, western women are not good partners because they feel entitled to everything yet offer nothing beyond a truly impressive capacity to complicate one's life.

      What triggers you is more and more men have realized they're just a plane ride away from not having to deal with your narcissism, or having to settle for your blown-out, ran-through, refurbished holes.

          >Somehow this is supposed to be an L for the boys
          Repectfully, no. The cognitive dissonance of western women never fails to amaze. This may be hard for you, and other roasties ODing on copium to reconcile, but the dudes who are time rich and money rich enough to travel and pursue women abroad at will, aren't broke losers.

          Men of means are looking elsewhere because, speaking plainly, the west is a sinking ship, financially and culturally. In addition, western women are just... the worst, and I can condense the "why" down to a few points,
          1. Respect, affection, and loyalty, AKA the three things men need to find happiness and fulfillment in a relationship, are anathema to you.
          2. Your extreme woke values (that is to say, non-values) are irreconcilable with our own, and I'll add that in the case of white women especially, the ease and enthusiasm with which you have betrayed the civilization which has provided you such privilege is nothing short of repulsive.
          3. You demand everything, yet offer nothing. Being a "good woman" that is to say, just pleasant, agreeable, supportive, and being a sanctuary we can come home to, is somehow beneath you.

          Of course, I didn't have to explain any of this, because you already knew; if "passport bros" were really just men of no consequence, if they were really so beneath you as to be of no notice... you wouldn't have noticed them. The truth is, this is a growing trend among the men you want, among the men whom you hope to "settle down" with. And, much to your chagrin, our actions have responded with a collective, clear, and emphatic "no."

          I have to ask, did you really think men with options wouldn't use them?

              >wyte wimminz of today are the responsibility of the vast number of cucked white fathers who failed miserably
              False; one cannot have responsibility without authority. The blame for the state of western women, and indeed, the decline of western civilization as a whole, can be placed solely on the 1% who have been bought and paid for by, and serve exclusively, the interests of the Zionist agenda. Which, ya know, hey, good for God's chosen people, go off I guess, BUT it also comes back to why "passport bros" exist in the first place; the only way to win isn't to not play, it's to pick a different board. tl;dr: We live in a failed state, that failed by design, fathers haven't had any rights or authority for some time, you don't actually own anything, get out while you can.

              To be fair though... you're not entirely wrong, any dude who falls for the marriage meme *now* in the age of information, should know better, but you can't apply the same standards to the dudes who fathered the women of today; those poor bastards had nothing to go on except anecdotes, propaganda, and a dream... besides, presentism is cringe as frick.

      White women are judgey, believe that loyalty and devotion is beneath them, because they believe, due to how some branches of feminism fricked with the relationship dynamics, that it's only unilateral. I just can't have that in a relationship. And I know that anyone who dares say what I say will be assaulted with an avalanche of "i bet the guy doesn't do shit lol", but I do my part because if you don't, that's how you get a divorce.

      I can't be with someone that has a chip on their shoulder and always ask themselves whether a request or a favor asked is a form of belittling. House chores repartition is an example of that. She was pissed because she felt she was doing more than me when all she really did was the dishes SOMETIMES. The rest was entirely on me, but she still b***hed about how she shouldn't be doing this in this day and age.

      The straw that broke the camel's back was, and at the time we were *this* close to having kids. I was cooking something burnt oil started spilling everywhere, and some of it dangerously near a power cord. She didn't want to shut off the circuit breaker because I WASNT ASKING NICELY AND IT WAS BEING DEMEANING AND IT WASNT LIKE ME.
      BITCH, THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE. You could've been Jesus Christ himself and I would be fricking barking at you. Moments like this require absolute, unquestioning fricking trust. You can always complain

      And God fricking knows i've done some demeaning fricking shit too. She might've been a beautiful blonde girl, that giant common wart she had on her foot I had to deal with because she just couldn't look at the thing, and that time where she fricking pissed all over the bathroom because she was drunk, slipped, and just decided to give up and piss and puke all over the fricking thing (granted, that happened only once).

      So no, I tend to avoid white women because they became simply allergic to backing down and settling. I can't be the one that has to defuse every conflict ever.

        When I dated White women before I traveled the world, every interaction or conversation became a competition. It was all so tiring. My last White girlfriend would never just simply agree with me. She'd have to interject her moronic opinion and add nothing if value to the conversation. It'd be about anything. I'm not doing that for the rest of my life. No thanks.

          Western white women are moronic. But they grew up in a white society, around white men, with white parents, with "white" anglo saxon values. So many it's western society that is toxic?

            Yes. Started around the end of the 17th century. Got more heated by the French revolution. Britcucks then proceeded to start with ending coverture, and now are continuing on to banning testicles entirely.

            youre just a no-effort fricking moron. i knew the vast majority of lifers in korea where i was and after me learning korean and getting really good at it simply from interacting and listening every day i realized you people are fricking babies. its insanely easy to learn a language that you are immersed in, the learning curve is so fricking shallow once you get past the kind of most common 500 words and basic grammar. if this is real you need to neck. btw i left korea several years ago because i was sick of the homosexuals like you who were the vast, vast majority of the lifer foreigner community and because i knew i would never actually increase my salary in any meaningful way. neck.

            This. You have to be willfully moronic to not pick up the local language. I spent a year in Japan when I was in the Navy and by month 6 I was able to have conversations with people and read signs no problem. Yeah I still got Nihongo Jouzu’d because of my accent and I wouldn’t say I was fluent, but you get my point.

            Just wanna jump on this dogpile; if you've bothered to learn basic phrases, it's basically impossible to not snowball into being proficient enough to have conversations, just by interacting with locals day to day.

    Idk man, I lived for 3 years in Taiwan making around $2200/month. My rent was $300/m and utilities around $10-20/m depending on the season. Gas was about $5 to fill up my scooter tank every two weeks. An average meal out cost $2-5. Health insurance was effectively free, basically like $5ish any time you want to visit the doctor for both the consultation and the prescription. My job was very easy other than having to deal with some annoying ass kids. Had two gfs during the time I was there and hooked up with about 13 girls. I saved up a ton of money without even really trying and could afford almost anything I wanted.

    Guess what? The instant I came back to the U.S., my savings got fricking nuked. Life here is not cozy at all. I didn't love Taiwan - if I'm being honest, it really got on my nerves after awhile. But god damn I at least didn't have to think about money every second of every day, wondering if I'll be able to make ends meet for that month. I lived how I wanted to and never worried about getting shot up by some fat incel while shopping at Carrefour. Which lifestyle is more free, exactly?

        How did it get on your nerves?

        Everything is constantly crowded, culture is very materialistic, hate the lack of transparency and honesty at work and inability to confront problems as they come, terrible traffic, monotonous food, horrible weather, everyone is insanely hypocondriacal and superstitious, the education system is a machine designed to suck out children's souls, honestly kind of a soul-sucking culture overall. I'm being a bit overdramatic, but it just was not my place; it's a good place, but it's not a place where I could personally see myself settling down for a long period of time, nor starting a family and having kids. Not to mention the tensions with China making things increasingly spoopy. I'm give them a big jiayou, but I'm not interested in being involved in that conflict personally thank you very much.

    White males that leave America because of "muh degeneracy" are part of the problem.

    White women don't come out from nowhere. They come from society that white men built, values that white men created, white communities and raised by white dads. If you blame white women for being degenerate, you're at LEAST 50% of the problem-- and you're spreading those values to other races.

      First, one cannot have responsibility with authority. Second one *definitely* can't be a part of the problem if they remove themselves from it entirely. Third, we are in no way obligated to try to save the sinking ship that is America from itself.
      >They come from society that white men built
      I am so done even humoring the idea that we're living in a world that's by white men, for white men, where white men hold the power. Less than 1% of us have 99% of the wealth and power, and let's be honest, most of that 1% is actually israeli.

      There are no values anymore, that's the problem.
      >white communities
      Miscegenated communities, you mean.

      Our society is brutally misandric and gives women financial incentives to divorce their husbands. The child whose relationship with their father is uncompromised is the exception, not the rule. This is by design.
      >you're at LEAST 50% of the problem
