Been trying for 6 years, only had one 5 years ago. Any suggestions? — I've been trying to lucid dream for 6 years and only ever had **one**, over 1400 days ago while on a vacation, about 5 years ago. It lasted about 2 or 3 minutes and I had full control. Flight, telekin…
Why do European shows show up more than Asian ones on Netflix US? — I’m not sure if this is just my own bias, but I’ve noticed something on Netflix that I can’t quite explain. I’m Asian American, and I tend to watch a mix of US shows plus a lot of Asian series. Becau…

Why are East Asian men in US/Western media so often portrayed in such a narrow way? — East Asian international male grad student here. I’ve been in the US for a few years and it feels like 9 out of 10 East Asian men I see in American media are portrayed in a certain way. I mean charac…
In your everyday life, how do you deal with the random mainstream-ness, microaggressions, or hypersexualization of being Asian? — I honestly don't understand why I am seen as passive aggressive for not fulfilling the submissive stereotype or calling out racist people.

Thoughts on this comment? — Not sure if I think this sentiment is more-so "self-inflicted" (as in, it's internalised by the original commenter for whatever reason, perhaps from a lack of assurance), or if I think that the lack o…
day 1/9: hidden manifestation techniques i found randomly day 1/9 – methods y’all probably haven’t tried (and no, not the basic pinterest ones 😭) — day 1/9 – methods y’all probably haven’t tried (and no, not the basic pinterest ones 😭) so this is the “two-glass method” but not the mainstream version… this one is more subconscious-focused and ki…
Well, it is a book that essentially expands on attachment and shifts the focus to behavior patterns instead of 'styles.' It acknowledges that people use attachment behavior strategies towards attached…
As I said, whether you're 'avoidant' or 'anxious' because there is either a lack of emotional processing, or complete omitting of emotional processing. People that are 'avoidant' perceive time as fin…
This is straight facts. Most people in the world don’t believe in these teachings or any New Thought principles. They’re on autopilot, brainwashed, kissing others asses, blinded or too closed-minded t…
The Psychic research is a fascinating field regardless of what the mainstream "scientific community" feels about it, there is so much rigorous evidence for it, i would hesitate to call it "paranormal"…
No, I am not inverting the two. The avoidant attachment system is dismissive towards the internal self. There is a common misconception within mainstream pop-psychology attachment theory that dismiss…
Since this book gets recommended a lot, even in this thread, I am also making my own comment. This is about *Atttached* by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller. This goodreads review by a user named Melody d…
I'm surprised to hear that you know only one other gay trans man. Is the trans population in London smaller than in other major cities? Is the mainstream queer culture there less open to trans people …
I'm going back on the market after a LTR and just want to get a refresher on the current state of the apps. Are Bumble, Hinge, and OKC intended for more-or-less "regular" dating? And Tinder is still …
On feeld - I'm a little confused about why people are recommending it when the original comment didn't say anything about an interest in kink or polyamory/enm. It's... fine but not really the ideal pl…
setting aside physical traits that likely dont necessarily lend themselves well to online dating (i wont bring these up because they have not been researched in any systematic way), my race/ethnicity …
No need to go out of your way to find garbage like this. Just search "why do white men like asian women" on mainstream subs like nostupidquestions or any of those askmen subs, and see all of the defen…
You can be considered attractive by certain populations or people or even be “traditionally attractive” by mainstream standards but if you’re stuck around abusers you can spend your whole life thinkin…

Set the filter for age and you won’t get it unless they lie to get through which is always a red flag. You recognize that you have a look that isn’t mainstream. That will limit your matches. If you ar…
MMA is taking off in Asia but mainstream media isn't interested because it perpetuates "toxic masculinity". 🙄 K-pop does well because there's an entire industry that grooms them from middle school …
First, there is Sung Kang, the Korean American actor best known for portraying Han Lue in the Fast & Furious series. His character became a fan favorite for his calm presence and understated charisma …
Yes. And also no. I know mainstream manifestation people like to say you have to “detach” but that’s not 100% the case. You are who you are and you’re wired the way you are for a reason. You ca…
I live in the DMV and there are alot of asians in my school but the majority of the kids at my school like football, mostly eat american food, only listen to mainstream American music, find kpop "crin…
It's probably because you fit in culturally and people can sense that. A lot of people aren't "racist", they're "culturalist". OP sounds like they're not into mainstream culture, the Asian layer on to…
Despite Trump and his supporters wanting to dial it back to old days when everyone ‘knew their place’, it’s definitely gotten better even with the challenges we’ve faced. More platonic and romantic in…
I recently encountered a dating profile (on a mainstream app) that includes the phrase: 'GGG, left side of slash.' I am looking for some clarity on how this is understood within the community. Is 'le…
3-6 years ago I probably wouldn't have answered "now" since I didn't know much better. But frankly, now. Just look at how China went from "terra non grata" during COVID to literally something people …
You’re wrong about absent or abusive fathers. I narrowly escaped this toxic shit back when red pill was in its infancy. My dad is awesome. My dad was present. I just didn’t feel that he understood m…
+1 It’s not shocking at all. Almost all of the posts I’ve seen go “my wife and I watched it and I’m shocked. Really caught the last chopper out of Vietnam” …uh go talk to your single friends? Basica…
Showing people spreading garbage on the internet is not an attack on men / males. Showing mainstream people what these people are saying is a way to help address the problem, the job of a good journ…
Major difference in experiences of many men vs most women, from what I hear. Many of the men cycling through the OLDs are leaving bad tastes in the women for the other men just trying to find a decent…
Dating is brutal regardless of medium, because all the cuties that might be out there are using apps and talking to other people too. Modern dating has made everyone extremely picky and choosy of th…
They’re not, because an inflated/fragile sense of self makes them think their idea of what a palatable and deserving mold of a token Asian deserves to exist, when Asians in Asia, even in homogenous co…
It is low hanging infotainment fruit, Theroux is selling to a mainstream audience as much as the “influencers” are selling to social media trends. A really solid area to look into is Divorce Statisti…
I recall reading that Randall Park and Jordan Peele are doing something connected to them. I don't know how historically accurate they intend it to be though as I would guess it could include a fictio…
I think the periodic dismantling of community is also partly to blame for all this. I feel very isolated and alienated from normal people. The mainstream culture has become so individualistic that you…
There are a lot of Japanese protagonists in anime and manga. The ones most of you guys complain about are the mainstream anime that are popular in the west. There are probably thousands of less popula…
It is absolutely a problem in other demographics. Sports betting is a huge problem for younger men of all ethnicities in North America. Especially since it has gone mainstream with commercials, sponso…
I am in the same boat born ‘72. The 70’s and 80’s had dark underbellies but it wasn’t mainstream broadcasted. It was however reflected in the arts.
I don't disagree with your critiques, including the ones in your reply below, but ultimately KPDH is a movie aimed at kids. You could probably find similar plot holes or questionable themes in any kid…
I don't want to sound like a dick but is it really news to you? I guess they dont really report this on mainstream media if that's what you're referring to but gambling is practically cultural to Asia…
Japanese anime used to be pretty bad in terms of pedastralization of whites in animes like Dragonball Z where going super saiyan literally turned a guy blonde. Back in the 20th century Japan was lit…
You're spot on. People really can't think for themselves in the UK, especially the older Gen X / Boomer generation. You've got to realise that, look at how bias the mainstream media in the UK is and …
Yeah. I've read several books on trauma, epigenetics and the like included. As an internalizer, you described that feeling for me particularly when I read Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers. I th…
I am not talking about physical strength. Asians are not the majority in most of America. There aren't a lot of Asian role models in the US. We are barely 15% of California's population. If we …
Ironically, at least in my experience as a Chinese American, there's been plenty of the opposite, like "positivity". "Ooooh Asians are smart, Asians are successful, be proud to be Asian, be proud to b…
Some practitioners find it too controversial but after many years of research it's going into the mainstream. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9XD8yRPxc8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9XD8yRPxc8)…
What most people are knowledgeable of is pop or mainstream astrology that makes your sun sign the most important and the only thing that matters. That IS NOT REAL ASTROLOGY. You have to read the WHOLE…
Yeah it’s gotten popular and more mainstream. But they need to be stating this on their profiles. Most of us are monogamous and are not looking to be poly or ENM.
It's extremely popular now. Yes it existed in the past, but it's become borderline mainstream now. Personally I hate it. I'm built for monogamy. Also I feel a lot of people are using it and skirting…
Honestly it seems “popular” in that it gets a lot of mainstream media coverage so it seems like people talk about and do it, maybe more than they really do but still. Like why do I know this about Lin…
So many reasons. Where to start. First, a lot of these conditions weren't well understood or weren't in the mainstream awareness until extremely recently (last 10-15 years). By which point my paren…
I think the mainstream popularity of therapy has has led to some serious misinterpretations around what therapy is and what to expect. 1) Therapy is not a “cure,” it’s a tool. It will teach you stra…
Mainstream polyamory is usually represented to be about sex, and I think if a polycule was “scouting” at all I’d assume it was sexual. I feel if it were asexual that’s something that would be happenin…
Jeff, late reply on this and I know we had that great chat the other day but I want to type something here too in support of your great content. I think you are touching on some brilliant stuff. Tryi…
