Since this little sub-debate between a total of four persons

Since this little sub-debate between a total of four persons has gotten way off topic, I hereby apologize to mrMa for having distracted the readers' attention from his last posting which I find truly interesting and worth following up on. Hence, I take the liberty to quote mrMa's posting of April 4, 2008 10:41 PM so that everybody can resume the discussion at that point again:

"why do Western men date Shanghainese women
- 90% desparate for sex
- 5% true love
- 5% checking out the the local flavor

why do Shanghainese women date Western men
- 90% desperate for cash
- 5% true love
- 5% checking out the foreign flavor

So in 10% of the cases we have total overlap in motivation, and in the other 80% of cases it is the oldest trade in the world."
