I'm not trying to radicalize you, but Race Matters. Ethnicity Matters. Color Matters. Money Matters. Social Class Matters.
The Game ain't the same for everyone.
1. NEVER assimilate or denigrate yourself.
Take pride in your heritage, but that means you don't need to be on some AZN POWER every second. Know your history, your language, your culture, deeply. Really talk to the older generation. If you can read a newspaper from the homeland, you're in good shape.
2. Society sees you one way. Do not let their perceptions stop you.
- Asians and Indians are seen as smart and hardwork.
- Asians and Indians are NEVER seen as leaders or sexually attractive
Never mind Asians and Indians are running shit all over the damn globe.
Nobody in the Majority wants to deal with that reality. When you read the news about India and China, it's a lot of FEAR.
3. When it comes to women
- Your own women seem to like everybody but you. Maybe a handful of super attractive Asian dudes can pull all the hot Asian chicks. But that's a mountain you can't seem to climb. And a lot of the decent Asian chicks would rather bang a white dude. *face palm*. Hell mediocre chicks might take an mediocre white dude.
That's called cultural conditioning. If the only thing that people see is white people being the greatest, the best, but also the smartest, tallest, funniest, most interesting - little by little that becomes part of your criteria.
That's why representation in the media of minorities is so important.
The only time white kids have historically noticed that is with music. All the best popular music in America was created by Black Americans. They wanted to be a part of it. When they finally got a guy, or a group of guys, the whole thing was cool for all of them. From Elvis to Eminem - they weren't super fans until a white face was at the center of it. There are a lot of hip hop "fans" now that only listen to Eminem and the Beastie Boys.
When you see someone that looks like you, it allows you to dream and imagine.
These are deep cultural things that are a little too big for this post, but keep that in mind.
- Other women don't even seem to see you, much less take you seriously
White/Latina/Black/etc girls have a template of "Sexy Stereotypes"
So sometimes it's the white quarterback, other times it's the black track star, it could be the Latin Lover.. So on and so forth.
There are very few niches that you can jump in deep. Young Indian Guys can't really milk yoga, and Asian dudes can't get love for Martial Arts. Fucked up.
As a player, you can't rely that.
You have to a do a lot of work to developer yourself
4. High School
I had a good time in high school.
The key to my happiness was having that core group of friends.
This is your first set of friends, you'll develop a new core in college, trust.
But strengthen those bonds with your boys now. Lan parties, going for pizza, smoking out, - whatever it is, as long as it doesn't get you in jail, - do it. Do it more often.
5. Game
I said all the above, because the thing that I think you need the most is really taking hold of your current identity.
Identity and how you feel about yourself are the CORE of Game.
It's one thing to not like your current situation.
It's another thing to not like yourself.
Like yourself. Love yourself. Treat yourself.
Once you've started on that foot, the easy work kicks in.
A. Getting Physically Fit
If you're 17, you're still growing. A lot of the muscleheads will tell you to lift heavy (squats and dead lifts).
Instead
- body weight exercises
- calisthenics
- gymnastics? Freestyle pull up bar stuff?
Take advantage of your energy and growth hormones
B. Diet
Right now you can eat anything. That's cool. Good metabolism. You're probably going to go to college soon, so the real thing here is to learn from the parents how to cook your favorite things.
This ties back into your identity and culture.
When you leave home, you probably won't eat the same things, or make things as good as your family - but boiling water, making rice, cooking vegetables and meats, SEASONING.....learning those things will help you when you start changing up your diet.
C. Clothing
In high school, you really can't compete with the rich kids here. And if you happen to be one of the rich kids, chances are you're not the guy everybody is watching for style cues. Those kids in the new limited sneakers, are just mindless consumers. They're socially better off than the kids in just t-shirt and jeans, but still just trend hoppers.
Now is the time to experiment. You'll have all of college to experiment as well.
Learn classic suit style
Learn how to spot trends on the street.
Find people with your build and look, and model them.
Here's a good site on Asian Male Style - http://steezyasiandudes.tumblr.com

If someone in your family can sew, LEARN NOW.
D. Running Game in High School
- At your high school, you have to start becoming more social. So show up to school events and talk to people. High School identities are super concrete because the pecking order was established in kindergarten for most of those kids.
- You need to focus on contact with other nearby high schools. That's where you're really going to meet strangers and do your approaching.
- Get your Instagram/Facebook/Twitter game up. Do cool shit and document it. But don't talk a lot of trash. You have the time, technology, and energy to show some dope shit. So if somebody at the spot makes noodles by hand, or you got pics from the old country - DO THAT. If you're into Parkour or skateboarding - get some video.
