Wellness Wednesday for December 18, 2024

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Interested in mid-late 20s Anglophones of East Asian descent, of similar class and educational background

You've got to hunt where the ducks are. Clubs are a bad bet, it's just the wrong crew. Most of the women there won't match your profile and the few that do will be in a defensive mode.

You should probably start attending charity galas. I'm not sure what the right ones are, but there should be a lot to choose from in NYC. There should be some charity events particularly popular with wealthy East Asians but I have no idea what those would be. Don't be too on the prowl at these events, it's more about integrating yourself into the upperclass community.

Given that it's winter try taking up skiing. Buy boots, rent the skis and poles at the hill. Spend some weekends at the ski resort.

Great ideas; I just went skiing with a group of friends last weekend in fact!

I'll look up some charity galas or similar events, perhaps relating to the Asian arts scene in the NYC area.

Like I get these ads for mahjong clubs targeted for young people in NYC - you could sponsor a mahjong night stuff or something like that.
