Asian men have a reputation for being the least masculine men of all the races, so I was looking around for signs of wimpiness, femininity, nerdiness or lack of masculinity among the men. I found that once you adjusted yourself to Asian men, many of them were indeed masculine in their own odd, quiet way. They’re not that different from the rest of us. Face it, men are men. Asian men are just men like any other men.
In particular the older Chinese men around my age were remarkably, often robustly masculine in a hard, stoical but often quiet and understated way. A lot of those men were damned hard and tough. The younger men were not quite as hard, but when I looked at them closely, I recognized that there was a quiet, stoical and even tough or hard masculinity working with most of the young Asian men. It was just hard to see it until you adjusted your vision enough to be able to see it.
The only unmasculine ones were nerdy Chinese men, but they were often hooked up with a nerdy Chinese woman, who were also ubiquitous, so it didn’t seem to make much difference.
