| I take exception to Ronglimeng comments. Its "disturbing" to see mixed couples. Why should people need to conform to what you think a compatiable couple should be? I also dont like the idea people think its "trendy". Do any of you know China or Japan? I tend to give people more credit. If you are talking high school girls then immature girls do trendy things. If you are talking about a serious relationship moving to marriage I think both people put alot of thought into it. I know Iam engaged to a chinese girl from Shanghai. There is enormous family scrutiny before the family approves. Dont mix casual dating with serious relationships. First would you date someone who was an unsuccessful slob? The fact is expats by their nature are educated businessmen or they would not be there. In every country woman tend to be attracted to successful educated men. This is part of the culture in most countries. The population of expats that are not ethnic chinese is so small compared to the population in shanghai its laughable to worry that all girls are running to foreigners. If a chinese man can not find a suitable girl in shanghai its because they have not left their house. The population of chinese women that speak english and are interested in foreign men is really very small. Its just suprising people still have racist ignorance. Dont sit in front of the Portman. Its where the US Consulate is and most mixed couples tend to walk by there. If you are a single foreigner living in China. Guess what 99.9% of the girls are chinese. So I guess you will have a chinese GF. China has a long and rich culture. The woman are both beautiful and sensitive. They are very family oriented and this is very appealing. I feel I am so lucky to be with someone from this background. I do not think I would have found a better match in the states. Remember the percentage of divorces are higher amongst people of their own culture. There is no guarantee for happiness. Age, looks whatever its up to two people and that is there business. |
