@@kenvinfavo1533 Agreed. Human psychology suggests that we ought to focus on the things we should do as it is difficult/unnatural to think in negatives. eg. Don't think of a pink elephant makes you do it because we struggle with notes. Not trying to defend poor male figures but women do realise that they can pick who they date right? Like, instead of choosing the aggressive, domineering, sexist toxic-masculine male who won't let you out of the house, pick someone else. Again I am not bashing women but letting them know they have the power to decide who they want to date as opposed to relying on natural attraction. The same goes for men.

@@kenvinfavo1533 I think how you approach complaints is the reason it can be detrimental to mental health. Complaints can be important in order to improve and fix things, even though it doesn't feel great to be criticised. If everyone just avoided complaining because they didn't want to risk bad mental health, nothing in the world would be fixed. However I think they should be done considerately in a way that a complaint becomes more of a "constructive criticism" then just outright bashing, because outright bashing is just pointless and makes you feel bad and yes, damaging to mental health.

Yo you're really good with passing the microphone to two people in one interview, it's a really good talent. You pass it exactly when they stop talking, or when they need time to arrange their thoughts and ask the next person. You're a really good interviewer.

Do they do this even when reading hanzi syllable by syllable, i.e. depending on the word, they may modify of omit one or more of the hanzi?

China has a pretty interesting culture. I'm so intrigued by the 普信男 comment. I clearly understand the few ladies who were interviewed do not represent all the chinese ladies. However, the comment kinda makes me wonder why it even exist in the first place. I believe every man and lady deserves a healthy dose of self-esteem. And no matter how you look, there's something about your look that you can be proud of. No one deserves to be beaten down by negativity. The world is already harsh. Why can't people around help each other to make the world a better place? 普信男 clearly has a negative connotation to it. Ridiculing someone who thinks good of himself is really uncalled for. Has the person affected you in anyway when he/she thinks good about own appearance? Most probably not. So why belittle that person? And that is why the western culture does alot better than the eastern culture in this area. The parents brought up the children with encouragement and support- taking a more soft approach than to bring the child down. I am a Singaporean and I was brought up by my parents in a typical Asian manner. Throughout my lives, all my parents do is to criticize and always compare with others. Thus now as a parent, I make sure I give my daughter positive talk and facilitate self-esteem building with her. 中国有一个非常有趣的文化。我对普信男的评论很感兴趣。我很清楚接受采访的几位女士并不能代表所有的中国女士。然而，评论有点让我想知道为什么它首先存在。我相信每个男人和女人都应该得到健康的自尊。不管你看起来如何，你的外表总有一些值得你引以为豪的地方。没有人应该被消极情绪打败。世界已经很严酷了。为什么周围的人不能互相帮助，让世界变得更美好？ 普信男显然带有负面含义。嘲笑一个自认为不错的人是没有必要的。当他/她认为自己的外表好时，他/她是否以任何方式影响了你？很可能不是。那为什么要贬低那个人呢？ 这就是为什么西方文化在这方面做得比东方文化好很多的原因。父母以鼓励和支持的方式抚养孩子--采取比贬低孩子更温和的方式。我是新加坡人，父母以典型的亚洲人的方式抚养我长大。在我的一生中，我的父母所做的只是批评和比较。因此，现在作为父母，我确保我给我的女儿积极的谈话并促进与她的自尊建立.

Couple of things I’d like to explain from my perspectives. So called “普信男” isn’t really about self esteem but more leaning towards narcissism. Original term came from a female comedian roasting men. This is not Chinese culture. It’s rather a modern online “culture” which I hesitate to call it culture. There’re many aspects we can dive in to dissect why this became popular. 1) Douyin short videos exploding in modern times. Commonly it provoke emotions and different countries tend to have different points went virus. In this case, 普信男 is. 2) censorship on media in China. People tend to label things over quick as information and knowledges are not as accessible for most ppl. To sum it up. It’s merely a temporary online terms generated in modern times due to lack of education (non-academic) or poisoned by social media like TikTok (douyin)
