The speaker discusses conflicting online statistics regarding testosterone levels in Asian men, contrasting data that suggests they have the highest levels globally with studies that claim the opposite. He warns against relying on internet graphics for validation and argues that personal character and real-life interactions define masculinity more than arbitrary data.
I just saw a stat that said Asian men have the highest testosterone in the entire world.
How does that make you feel? All right, let's watch this TikTok from Jack B Foods.
Great example you set. China, Korea, and Japan also have some of the lowest average testosterone
levels around the world, so something is feminizing men there. Let's take a look at
global testosterone levels, shall we? All right, Alex, what do we got? Dude, so the darker the
colors are here, the higher the average testosterone is per country, and China,
Japan, and Korea are literally darker than the United States. Hover over them, let's see.
521 nanograms per deciliter for China, 459. What are you talking about, bro?
And Japan? 502.
And Korea? Okay, that's a little bit lower, but
about the same. Oh, no, it's higher. No, it's actually higher, bro. They're all higher. They're
all higher than the average testosterone in the United States. Yeah, something really
is happening. People just don't look at data. They're just talking.
What do you know? Some stats that play into our favor. Now, of course, when you post these stats
on something like Reddit, and then you have all these guys chime in, you're feeling good because
you're like, yo, finally, this whole time, everybody thought Asian guys were emasculated,
but actually, we have the highest testosterone, so we're the most masculine. Obviously, even though
I'm a proud Asian guy, and I just want Asian men to just be the best version of themselves,
I'm also not a silly Billy that just takes in every single stat and graphic that I see online
as real or as super meaningful. So just so you know, it's the internet, and there's a lot of
different stats and numbers rolling out there. You don't know where they come from, even if it
feels like it's on a legit site, but anyways, let's talk about it because I have a whole message
and a point at the end that I'm trying to make. So let's talk about where it says that Asian men
have the highest testosterone. So there are stats on particularly the worldpopulationreview.com
and ranking testosterone levels by nation, and Mongolia is by far the farthest. America is
actually not that high. There's certain African countries that are very high. It looks like China
and then even Russia a little bit more, but China and Asia in general is actually higher than
America. And then there's other stats, which I'm going to pop up here. There's a table that says
China ranks number one in testosterone levels nanograms per deciliter at 521. Then there's
Egypt, the UK, Indonesia, and then it goes down. You have Vietnam, Japan, Iceland, Iraq,
Morocco, Spain, Taiwan, Ukraine, Uruguay, Australia, Canada, Israel, Romania, blah, blah,
blah, blah. America's not even on this list. That's weird. And yes, I understand in the age
of the manosphere and looks maxing and working out that testosterone is a very big conversation.
A lot of people think that there's a lot of different chemicals that are lowering our
testosterone in America and that people overseas might be having a better diet, might be getting
more sleep, might be less stressed. I don't really know if that's true. I think everybody's
kind of stressed, but maybe they're eating a little bit less preservatives. That's probably
true. But in this whole conversation of how important testosterone is, especially for
associating with masculinity, then now a lot of people are celebrating this ranking.
And a lot of people are like, see, even Jack B Foods, who looks like a Caucasian Chad in the
chin, his jawline is crazy, that he's even acknowledging that Asian men have the highest
testosterone. That's why we're able to be such great weightlifters. I don't think it's that
simple. And I don't know how much you want stats to bring you validation. Because I did find some
competing stats from the American Urology Association journal.org. And they did a whole
study about how basically in America, black men have the highest testosterone and Asian men have
the lowest. Anyways, so the stats from the world where you don't really know where you get them,
kind of validate Asian guys. And then the stats from America kind of tells a different story.
So which ones do you believe? Or you could also say that, well, in Asia, Asian men have higher
testosterone. And then for some reason in America, because America is doing particular things to
lower people's testosterone here, which is debatable, that it lowers everybody's testosterone.
But then why would that change the rankings? So let's say we are going by the stats that you see
on the worldpopulation.com, the ones that Jack Beefood's covered. And by the way, you can cover
whatever stats are on the internet. I know people like to do a quick Google thing and then pick up
the first graphic that fits their narrative to use that. But you really don't know where they get
those numbers from. By using the same worldpopulationreview.com, there's also a lot of
stats that say Asian men are the shortest, at least of the major groups. But then there's stats
about highest IQ, and it shows that Asians have very high IQ and some of the highest in the world.
So that validates how we feel as Asian guys. So if we want to cherry pick stats, we have the highest
T and the highest IQ. Ooh, but then there's some other random numbers on the internet that
say a different story about our manhood, that it's not as big as other people's. Listen,
the internet is a really, really big place with a lot of information and not all the information
is gathered properly. A lot of it's guesstimated and some of it's just fake. I'm not here to tell
you which one of those things is fake, but what you're going to do is you're going to be in your
head and you're going to imagine, oh, which of those stats validates the things that I've experienced
in real life and confirms that confirmation bias. And then you're going to roll with those stats,
or you're just going to roll with whatever you want to be true. At the end of the day,
no matter what random stats or numbers you find on the internet, it shouldn't affect your identity.
That's my whole point of this video. The whole point of this video that I'm trying to make is
not to pick out numbers and go against the Asian narrative or try to tell Asian guys, oh, we're not
as high testosterone or not as tall, or we're not as smart as they say we are. I'm not here to try
to disprove every number or be hyper accurate. What I'm telling you is stats don't define you
because there's a lot of stats out there. What I'm trying to say is that you have to show up
in person and that's actually going to matter more. As far as how we're perceived in public,
it's not really that people are walking around with the testosterone or IQ levels pasted to
our forehead. It's really going to matter how people experience Asian men in person. That's
going to matter the most. And even though you know media has an impact on people, it has the biggest
impact on people who don't have experiences with that person in real life. So yes, if you lack the
experiences in real life, you're going to go off of media. But if you have the experiences in real
life, ultimately those things are going to tell the true story versus whatever you see in media.
If your confidence is resting on some graphic or random number that you found online,
that is a shaky foundation, bro. So listen, are all these stats and graphics fun? Yeah. Can they
really be made and reposted by anybody without any sort of fact checking? Yes. So don't keep
looking for stats. Look to break people's perception. So stop looking for stats and
just be the interaction that changes someone's mind. And listen, the actual science will show
that to boost your testosterone, you need to get sleep. You need to get protein. You know,
your age matters. Your genetics matters. How much are you working out? Are you being healthy?
Things like that. And yeah, if you want to get testosterone replacement and all that stuff,
I'm not an expert on that. You're going to have to go look that up. There's a whole bunch of
peptides. Peptides just became like FDA approved, I guess. Anyways, if that's really what you're
concerned with, there's a lot of ways to do it. But I'm just saying, just don't live on these
weird numbers that you see on the internet, man. Nobody knows where they come from.
All right, everybody. So let me know what you thought about that video down below.
