Asian Dating: Three Things to Ask Yourself

Call this a tale of two singles.
Richard and Tricia are from the
same ethnic group—Asian—but
have vastly different approaches
to love and dating.
"When I fill out forms and have to
check a box to identify ethnicity, I
always check 'Asian,'" Richard
said. "But honestly, I've always
considered myself a man, not an
'Asian man.' I've never thought of
myself as any different from the
next guy. I suppose that's because
my family has lived in this country
for generations, and my parents
never emphasized Asian roots or
culture. That just wasn't part of
my family life."
Then there's Tricia: "My Asian
heritage was—and is—a big part of
my immediate and extended
family. The foods, the holidays,
the culture—all were a crucial part
of my upbringing. And I'm glad.
The customs and traditions that
have been passed down make me
who I am, and I'm proud of that."
As you might imagine, Richard is
open to dating Asian women or
quality ladies from any ethnic
group. For Tricia, finding someone
who shares her love of Asian
culture—indeed someone who is
Asian—is critical. It's a choice she
made early on: "That cultural
identity is so vital to me, it's at the
top of the list for the man I
eventually marry."
If you are Asian, where do
you stand on this dating
issue? Is dating someone
who is also Asian
important to you, not at
all important, or
somewhere in between?
To help you become clear,
consider these three
questions in regards to
Asian dating:
Have you determined in
advance what you want? The
time to think through significant
issues is before you're confronted
with them. If you traveled to a
large city, you would get clear
directions to your exact
destination so you don't end up in
an unsafe area. You would plan
ahead. The same goes for dating. If
holding to your Asian values is
important to you, take time to
identify them before you start
dating. Fortify them in advance
with your firm intentions.
How important are Asian
culture and customs to you?
For many people, their ethnicity
shapes what they cherish, the way
they relate to others, and how
they respond to life's challenges.
For instance, if you plan to start a
family, consider that the arrival of
children prompts a whole host of
culture-based decisions: the
traditions you will pass down, the
rituals you will observe, the values
you will instill. It is wise to have
your eyes wide open to the
implications of facing all of life's
ups and downs with a partner who
may not share cultural aspects
dear to you.
Do you know what else you're
looking for? Finding someone
within your ethnic group may be a
top priority for you—but it certain
isn't the only priority. How will
you know who is a perfect fit and
who isn't if you are unclear about
the other qualities critical to you?
Make a top-ten list of the things
you must have in a new partner
and a top-ten list of things you
couldn't stand. Finding the love of
your life means finding someone
who is the "whole package," a
wonderful match in all the
essential areas.
A successful love life, for Asian
people as for everyone, depends
largely on the compatibility and
shared values of the two
individuals involved. Be clear
about your ideals and convictions,
then hold out for a partner who
will support you in all of those.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings. And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it? With the evolution of SERP features, it’s critical that you (a) track your rankings within...
