I went on a a VR rollercoaster with my new girlfriend (asian) at a amusement park where they move the cart according to the movement in VR.

She was totally OK, and I was totally wet of sweat, down to my underwear. I really almost puked.

But I have that problem even on a bus and in a car as a passenger (so I basically always drive if possible). Big ships, trains and airplanes are totally ok.

When I was about 9 I had to puke on the bus and my dad didn't want to have to clean the buss so he let me puke into the pocket of his jacket ๐Ÿคช

What does your gf being Asian have anything to do with this?

Because the article said that women have a higher chance to feel sick and Asian people have also a higher chance, and she is the combination of being a woman and being Asian, and despite that not having any problems. I thought it was noteworthy.
