Three

What accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my success in life, my accomplishments in business and my ability to now give back to my parents for all they have given me.

What are your hobbies?
I like participating in outdoor activities and hanging out with friends and family and my niece and nephew.

List three adjectives that describe you
Driven, caring, attentive

[mr. x]

well i guess i can stop bitching about token asian girls on reality shows vs. no token asian guys

[etcj]

Damn, he sounds like such a prude.

[Tao]

well at least he's good looking

[rice cracker]

Aww, he sounds all sweet and normal. Mr. Pillar of the Community.

[kitty]

he's a little too... straight and narrow for me. i like a guy with a little more bad boy in him :)

[kboy75]

*yawn*

[Ogumo]

He should last longer than the black person. There wasnt even data on him.

[mr. x]

unfortunately nice guys do finish last if they are minorities cuz u gots to stand out not just be "a nice guy"

[yoMAMA]

good luck, dude!

sure beats being on fear factor

[yoMAMA]

and to be honest, any girl that gets rejected by that bob guy, probably ain't hot materials themselve :p

[Arex]

Hey, good luck to him. There's definitely a shortage of "normal" Asian American males on the small screen.

the asian bachelor is better-looking than she is.

[TB4000]

He resembles a slightly thinner Ming Tsai.

[ChairmanMah]

oh, i thought you meant the fat viet dude on Average Joe.

[Faithless]

He should last longer than the black person. There wasnt even data on him.

I don't know about that, but I suspect he'll last longer than the younger ones.

You've got a couple of 25 year old dudes. I think she wants 'em older than her.

[teaz0r]

i wonder if he's rich.

[Emperor_Mike]

i wonder if he's rich.

How much do dentists make anyway?

[>:^|]

How much do dentists make anyway?

Lots. Often as good as doctors. :biggrin:

[moJo]

Lots. Often as good as doctors. :biggrin:
i heard it's actually more prosperous to be a dentist these days.

[teaz0r]

richer than banker boys?!!!!!

[moJo]

richer than banker boys?!!!!!
uh oh, teaz is gonna go on a manhunt now... :wink:

i dunno, they make a steady income. regular work schedules. stuff like that, so i hear. how much do bankers make? correct me if i'm wrong, anybody, but i think dentists make a bit over 6-figs to about 150k. maybe more? *shrug*

[Emperor_Mike]

I don't think I could stand working with bad teeth and diseased mouths. Television and Hollywood have desensitised me to blood and human organs, but very rarely do films dwell on the horrors of gingivitis and receeding gums.

[teaz0r]

i <3 you avatar.

hot little body.
HAHHAHAA.

if a banker boy and a dentist made the same amount.
i'd pick the banker boy.

[>:^|]

Aren't banker boys really quite boring?
You would think in ten seconds you'd be snoring
I think for love you'll pick an artist or poet
Although you don't yet know it
And your head and your heart will be warring. :wink:

[kboy75]

bankers make anywhere from 40K to 400K... maybe more. it all depends on what kind of banking and where. lotta bankers here in NYC... lotta crazy ones too... uh... dentist? Zzzzzzz.....

i saw tonight's episode, and damn, some of those guys have some BAGGAGE. some of the overweight guys are so insecure and have 0 confidence. i guess it is understandable, but they were not ready for a relationship with that girl, and it showed from their responses and reaction to the rejection, IMO.

[mr. x]

^-- nobody got kicked off yet though right?

did they show the asian dude?

and whos ming tsai?

[thaite]

Ming Tsai the chef?

[AngryABCGirl]

He's not bad looking, I'd consider dating him,

[dorkus malorkus]

this is cool. He's not bad looking either. Best of luck to that dude.

[Faithless]

I think his full name is Andy Chang. They were going to interview him on KDGE (http://www.kdge.com/mornings.html)

[deez nuts]

depends on where they practice (some states have a more saturated market than others) and/or if they specialized. i have a few dentist friends and some have their own practice already or is partner in a private practice. others are working part time job(s) and struggling cuz the market for their state is so saturated.

from what i hear 150k is average after a few years of experience in the private sector.

the 6 figs are for those with an established private practice, reputation and patient pool with many years of being in private practice under their belt.

and whos ming tsai?
sorry, i got this thread mixed up with average joe 2.

Ming tsai is a chef. he has shows on Food TV... East Meets West (fusion cooking) and Mings' Quest. I like his shows.

[rice cracker]

Ooh, Ming is hot.

Edit: The ability to cook is strikingly appealing as well.

[hooligan]

you know what? that pic of him is pretty scary. he's got these odd looking eyes that scream child molestor and an awkward smile, i want a better pic before i pass judgement.

ming tsai or da bachela?

[noname]

Didn't make it past the first round :rolleyes:

[hooligan]

boo, i liked your mix, i was listening to it yesterday ^

[mr. x]

Didn't make it past the first round :rolleyes:

was he even worth making past the first round or was he like "eh"?

[Faithless]

was he even worth making past the first round or was he like "eh"?

His personality and attitude was like, "eh".

He didn't make any sort of impression on the Bachelorette. He needed to be as aggressive as the other guys.

She's tall, and Andy was about her height when she was in heals. Maybe he felt intimidated in the end.

Hey, what do you think would happen if they bachelorette was Asian? There could be many scenarios. Half the choices could be asian guys and half could be white or others. Do you think the producers would limit the amount of Asian many that would be considered?

If you've seen Elimdate, Blind Date, DisMissed, or Extreme Dating, it's pretty clear how producers handle that type of thing.

[Craig]

The producers ? Are you sure it's not the contestants voicing their dating preferences that determines their choices ?

[TB4000]

I suppose you got me there...didn't wanna make any broad assumptions, but I guess I did anyway.

[Napoleon Chynamite]

The producers ? Are you sure it's not the contestants voicing their dating preferences that determines their choices ?

Yeah but the producers still ultimately pick them and it still all comes down to their choice, in that perhaps they don't like choosing Asian girls that don't sell out or prefer white men or they don't like choosing Asian men because they like to see white guys get Asian women, or something like that...

watch Joe Millionaire man, the asian girls were pretty much expendable, one girl was even like "whatever im not gonna win"

in the radiology resident's lounge in my hospital is a poster with a picture of this guy:

http://a.abc.com/primetime/bachelorette/images/bios/bio_Marcus.jpg

the title above the poster says: "how long do you think the brother will last?"

underneath the poster are names of radiology residents with their guesses on how many episodes he will last. the resident that comes closest without going over wins.

i was hanging out in the lounge with a friend and saw it and i said "damn you guys copped it from PTI (pardon the interruption) on ESPN."

it's still funny to actually do a pool on it.

LOL, as cool as it does sound, having stupid people think I'm good at basketball, know how to rap, and have a tree trunk for a dick is not all it's cracked up to be...and yes, the last one is just as stupid. :tongue:

[ruffneck]

Apparently not long, like Phuc Le in Average Joe II.
Phuc is funny but they both look like dorks! Go figure.

John (WTF is name is in show), look at his teeth, it's fucked but he's a dentist. OK.

LOL! I shoulda known that was coming. Some girl did ask me if I knew how to rap when I was in the store one time though...I was trying to keep myself from saying something risque and sarcastic, but I managed to contain myself.

i read a black dude's post on a japan-travel forum and he said like "these japanese girls were like 'rap for us!' and i just came up with the most wacked out rhymes and they totally swooned" or something

was the girl white?

Yeah, she was...not to point fingers or anything. :tongue: See, a lesser man would've used that as an inside to impress her, but not me...I'm just too stupid to do so. :biggrin:

no it's been replaced by potheads, lazy asses and welfare check recipients

[mr. x]

oh plz, ive pothead and lazy maybe (like in a by black for black movie like say the Friday series) but welfare? i mean the whites tend to write pretty neutral (see harmless) roles for blacks, blacks will do whatever they want. whites do not, DO NOT dare offend blacks, but asians, whore away

I feel what you're saying, mr. x

But there still are quite a few roles where they have the stereotypical black man or woman as a cliche smoked out welfare receipient who has to see the error of their ways, ususally by way of some bright eyed bushy tailed hero. And once somebody smacks the entertainment industry in the face regarding asian roles, they'll cease what they're doing.

Okiee...but back to Bachelorette:
Isn't the guy "Rick" Indian? I only caught a glimpse of him. Either that or he has a hell of a tan.

It's a bit more complicated than that. We have to hit their money supply AND make it so that society in general frowns upon Anti-Asian racism. Nowadays, Anti-Asian racism is less toxic than black racism.

Point well taken. Didn't mean to oversimplify the situation.

Meredith picked her sweetheart last night.

http://www.ruggedelegantliving.com/sf/a/002338.html

I think that she came-off better than last season's bachelorette, Trista.

[Faithless]

An interview with the Asian bachelor, Andy Chang:

http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/living/8693785.htm

...
A mid-January posting read: “Bad week for Asian men on reality TV … on the latest edition of ‘The Bachelorette,’ Andy (Chang) got eliminated right away. … But honestly, what did you expect? Like she was going to choose the lone, token Asian guy out of that bunch?”

Days after he was booted, Chang said he was disappointed he was the only bachelor whodidn’t get a one-on-one meeting with Meredith Phillips, the ABC show’s bachelorette. After he was eliminated, he wondered what effect his ethnicity had.

“After the fact, I think it worked against me,” said Chang, who beat out thousands of applicants to be on the series.

Chang, a Chinese-American dentist based in a Dallas suburb, says he’s the antithesis of the socially inept Asian typecast. The 5-foot-11 bachelor with the athletic build was in a fraternity and never had much problem finding dates.

But since he appeared on the show, the 33-year-old man said meeting women has been even easier. This, despite once being told by a new patient that she thought he would look like Mr. Miyagi from “The Karate Kid.”

“I may have a dental degree,” he said. “Does that mean I have to look like a nerd?”
