My girlfriend Krista has been overweight for the past year now. I’ve been trying to get Krista to go to the gym and she’s been refusing. Tells me she doesn’t have energy and makes up excuses.

Krista tells me I need to come with her to the gym. But I can't go to the gym with her regularly because of my busy work schedule. I work as an oil truck driver 14 hours days. So I’m always away or sleeping.

I asked Krista to go with my buddy Dale who’s a retired fitness coach. Krista says she’s not gonna go with a man. Always one excuse after another.

Today she told me she went on a 2 hour walk with a guy she works with named Cole. And how her and Cole are getting a gym membership together and they’re gonna go every day together.

Does this seem suspicious? Or should I end it?

This is assuming that most of the people who were interested in you where interested because of your looks first and foremost

I know a 21-year-old from Australia from a class I had with her. She has beautiful blue eyes, an adorable accent, and seems really interesting. Should I ask her out despite our age difference?

They're people who like camping in their vans so much that they just do it all the time. They basically live in a vehicle.

9 out of 10 times I see this as a major red flag when I hear a woman say this.

Chances are very high she thinks I’m okay with the friendzone.

Pick one and ONLY one and say why.

A discussion recently occurred on r/Asianmasculinity, where an Asian male was talking about the complete double standards that Asian women have for Asian men and white men.

A snippet from OP discussion called "Different Dating Requirements for Asian vs. White Men"

"I’ve noticed that Asian women (ex. my female friends) hold Asian men to much higher standards—expecting them to have a car, a house, or a high income—while not requiring the same from white men. In addition, these women expect Asian men to pay for dates and experiences, but are fine to split with white men."

Many users were in the comment in agreement and even cited a Yale study that supported it

Yale sociologist Grace Kao: “In fact, we find that despite the higher education and income of Asian American men, there is evidence that they are systematically excluded from having romantic relationships during adolescence and young adulthood”

Some even explained why so many non-white women see white men as gods and chase after them in the west.

"Social status: white men in white circles gain immediate acceptance due to familiarity bias.

Pretty privilege: White men in Asian circles gain immediate acceptance due to pretty privilege (it is internalized that euro features are more handsome)

So in the eyes of a white worshipper, the white man already brings those values to the table by virtue of being white."

". Being with a white partner gives prestige that being with an Asian cannot. So Asian guys are required to compensate with material success.

Just stay away from these types of women and find someone who’s actually ride or die. I’m not saying don’t strive for success of course. But give it to someone who isn’t fucked in the head by internalized racism."
