Hell yeah, no, yes. Yeah, I am a romantic person. I'm Latina. I'm Mexican Hispanic who shows the most PDA out of you to I do Yeah, it's not my dad gets on he goes up to my mom hugs there He grabs it and he kisses her all over the place. Are you like PDA romantic? Oh, yeah, definitely. I'm all about that stuff I feel like it's funny. There's like this contrast here. So don't like PDA at all when I was in a relationship like if my boyfriend would touch me I'd be like Please don't like not here between your parents maybe between them or you did they show you or tell you anything about romance and love My parents said I couldn't have any female friends until I graduated high school No, they would like give a little like pound the bag or whatever When you said you saw your dad pat your mom in the bag That's that's when they it's about to go down Mama always told me watch out for them boys My parents stopped me to never trust women. Yeah, there was a like the occasional smooch a lot of hugs, you know Not like honey. I'm home. It was a very open household where I could talk to them if I was like hey mom I really want to this girl wait Sorry, you say that to your mom. I could if I wanted to how did you learn your image of romance? Mostly by what Western media since I like grew up in Long Island I was surrounded by like white parents. I saw it like more towards like in that scene So I still have a good idea of like what romance is like I had to learn it through My friends in high school and and like people that like I would watch on like online got kind of silly But you know growing up in a cold household like it's kind of how it is who are the most romantic Asians? I think the guys that are obsessed with K dramas. I try to like emulate it when I was younger, but and it didn't work No, no you guys are Korean a lot of people looking at the K dramas. How real is that? That's a bullshit Asians are generally known to not show a lot of pda not be very expressive. Why do you think that is? I think it's just the way they were the place it came from right like you know your parents probably grew up around like When Mazda was ruling so you know they had to focus on other things like You know making the country a better place Girl, no, I don't see my parents showing too much pd around us even in the household Even now like with dating I'm doing a non-Asian so like that's even worse and my parents are always asking like oh The seal you know put his hand on your back. You guys hold hands with public They give you the whole like don't date before you marry Asian parents for the most part are pretty you know hands off watching that grow I'll be definitely you know instills a certain framework for how you should go about you know the relationship in public My mom's always told me like you're an Asian especially your girls kind of dangerous out there So express you know yourself too much because you'll get more attention Asian parents are not expressive towards their children We're known for be for having tiger parents for having harsh punishments That's something that kind of trickles down into like everyday life in the traditional culture Like it's rooted that you're supposed to like be more reserved and like with their feelings that you don't feel like so Cheap of like just spreading like saying it all the time They're more serious about academics and like other things they don't want to like prioritize like that kind of love And they don't think it's that important when it is I was once a Shia Asian person you know I'm not gonna lie. I was so afraid. I was an introvert I was scared that people were gonna judge me so I stayed quiet and then it took me a while to actually open myself up They have the show night in China to call it pda and I also have a slang called show nice the quiet It means if you are doing the pda stuff your relationship is gonna be over soon Western values more about free love and freedom of expression Why people are the worst at pda hands down we are the corneas So we do cornea pda Asian culture has both sides of the spectrum and there's never solid in between It's either the jabba walkies or the spelling bee like high p stations or we're at the library when Asian kids grow up in America Do you think it would help them and it's better that they should adapt to the Western style of romance and like pda and expressive culture? Oh 100% I mean you're trying to be that cool kid, right? You're not trying to be that Asian Asian nerd like playing video games all day You are in America so you know adapt to it because everyone else is doing it So why are you like putting yourself in the corner by not doing it? Stereotypically speaking girls are craving that like attention If you see like a guy being very touchy and like not be afraid to be seen that kind of thing would help Definitely like put yourself out there because like usually girls don't make the first move You can do what a f*** you want in New York, so um people don't really care they mind their business As long as it doesn't really affect them then they don't really get a f*** Asian guys should be more confident more out there and we'll definitely get more in life I think everybody needs some love it could be tough love and whatever But you need to show some affection because if some I don't know you love them or care about them Then it is like but if you really do care about them, so you know we're in America. Why not? You know don't be so strict on yourself, you know explore the world explore yourself I'm glad I wasn't shy anymore. I feel like in New York people don't really care If I see like someone doing something really crazy like on the street like It wouldn't even bother me express your love Yo, all right everybody. Thank you so much for watching that video about Asian love life and whether People should show more pda or not especially the guys my major takeaways are of course due to culture and how we're raised It's hard for us to show and express ourselves, you know as Asians But definitely if you take cues from the media or your friends you can definitely learn these things and number two Listen pda and being romantic in the western sense is not for everybody There's pros and cons to everything it depends on how you want to live your life and number three Generally everybody agrees that being bold and assertive will get you more out of life no matter what it is And at the end of the day if you want to show pda you can come to New York because nobody cares what you do on the street Because they see crazy stuff on the street all the time and again Huge shout out to East meet East aka eme which is a sponsor of this video who is the number one Asian dating site in the world right now check out the link down below until next time I'm out Peace Asian guys Be romantic show your girl All the love you can like you have to adapt to the way like American culture is sometimes it could be romantic gestures Give them buy them flowers, you know send flowers to their work by chocolate you have to show it
