Video Description: Why I REALLY Left NYC…
In this candid video, I open up about my deeply personal journey of leaving New York City, shedding light on the challenges I faced as an Asian American navigating the dating scene. It wasn’t just the high cost of living or the fast-paced lifestyle—it was a profound feeling of being unseen and discouraged. After years of frustration, I made a bold decision to reset my life and move to Asia, where I found not only romance but also a renewed sense of belonging.
Join me as I share my heartfelt experiences, the lessons I’ve learned, and how living abroad transformed my romantic life. This is my story of self-discovery and the pursuit of happiness beyond the hustle of NYC. Tune in for an honest conversation about love, identity, and finding home.

If you’re not worried, be worried! Birth rates are down, Who’s gonna fight americas war when we have no Human Resources, least production of any country, there’s an impending doom over social media about self destruct within American society, puppeteering among our top government officials, and a coming of prophecy, the one and only religion take over plus WW3? People it’s all over social media! People we are broke, our government is powerless to help us, is this true or heresay
Some cultures try to pressure the girl. Marry off their daughters. The pressure is real.
He’s cute! I would dig him! ❤😅 but he walks a different path from me. He wants a lady!
Hi AK and fans, good for you that you found someone special. Unfortunately, in the U.S. and I suppose in other countries as well, it is all about the money in some shape or form, that relationships are formed around. And also the unrealistic ideas of how the relationship is bound by unrealistic ideas. I guess an Asian lady it is for me too, Lol, Peace.
Bro…I’ve been noticing this culture change about a decade ago. I was also born and live in NYC, and I noticed that most people (particularly women) I’d have connection with were foreign. They’re fun to hang around, you can be yourself, and there was barely any superficiality in our interactions. My eyes were further opened when I started traveling more. Personally, I find people in other countries more pleasant and humble to be around, whereas in NYC, it’s hyper aggressive hustle energy. So, you’re definitely not wrong.
You are very talented and deserve to find someone who appreciates you and loves you. I wish you the best.
Great talking points! I will also add that this is a Western dating problem not just a US problem. I live in Toronto and it’s just as bad as USA.
Glad you left brother. Not only is dating an issue, but the demographics have dramatically changed and you could feel the push to leave. The city will always be there for you.
I live in Bronx for a year and it surprises me I have never been attacked now.
I’m so happy you’re happy! ❤ wishing you many continued blessings on your life path. Thanks for all your walks!
Best wishes always. Your happiness is number 1. I have loved every one of your videos. Keep being you and you will always succeed.
This country sucks man. Way to go actionkid can’t wait to see more of your walkthrough’s all through Asia.
You’re preaching Ken, be happy! 💕💕💕💕
I want to be single in Japan. If I can find a gf in Japan, dating will be very economical. Here in US, Everytime I take my date to eat costs between $50 to $100 , this is my max budget. The other day she asked to go to a trendy restaurant, those that add 18% service charge automatically, and I refused, then later she texted calling me cheap. So,I think being single is a blessing, enjoy and be grateful to your own life with peace of mind
I think you made the right decision for you Kenneth. Look around, America is in trouble. Beyond that, yes, race, the way we look, is a consideration we are all born with and stuck with whether we like it or not. Glad being in Asia has worked out better for you. If I was your age? I'd "try something different" myself. Best of luck and will keep following you as always.
hey action kid we love your, from NYC /Henry street. its a shyt show out here lol. shout out to Smith houses
I love you bro. I can relate to everything you said. Perhaps you made the wise decision to move. Im a native New Yorker and there is no one out here for me. Ive tried so hard to no avail so I should travel. Thank you so much for sharing your personal struggles. Im so happy for you now. You look better too!
Even though I will miss your NYC videos and your commentary, I completely understand. I hope you're happy and thriving in your personal life. Take care.
Get muscle bro that attracts women more
The dating world is terrible! You are so adorable, interesting and so intelligent. I know so many single people who are single and just cant meet anyone special. I know there is someone out there. Covid has created fear in many. ❤❤❤
