That Chinese Lady Is Distinct (part 1)

In my experiences vacationing and living overseas in China, I have met numerous young western gentlemen who believe they could get any Chinese lady they like, just because they are foreign. This is a common mis-assumption among western guys; many young men think that their appearance or the reality they speak English means they are an important commodity in China. Well, just like in the US, you will find easy girls and there are the true girls that you'd like to date or maybe marry, but what is important is you know that Chinese girls aren't like western ladies.

There are two elements that will be important to your accomplishment with that Chinese lady you have had your eye on: the first impression and building a romantic relationship. Everybody knows that first impressions do a lot, but with Chinese women it can be everything. There is a saying in Chinese, xianrùwéizhu (The first impression is most important), which suggests that first impressions are the most potent or most important time toward influencing someone. The manner you dress, the way you carry yourself, and especially what you say to her will decide if she likes to continue talking to you or see you again.

Once you know you wish to continue meeting this Chinese lady and you desire to make her your sweetheart, you should keep taking her out to create a relationship. Now these may seem like dates, and in all equity they're, but to the girl you are just developing a romantic relationship and nothing erotic will emerge of it. Do not even expect to try getting a kiss until a couple of dates or a few weeks into the relationship. Until she affirms and considers you are officially together, forcing something sexual can kill the romantic relationship. Go with her for fun on Saturday to the shopping mall or the movies, like a regular date, and be respectful. Your Chinese woman will bear in mind how kind you're to her.

The first few weeks with the Chinese woman definitely will seem tiring! You can't ever let your shield down and constantly be at your 100%. The first impression would get her to see you once again and then you should assemble the building blocks for a romantic relationship. My good advice is to simply never let yourself slip up. Do not ever do or say something you must ponder the implications of. If you're careful and take the very first stages seriously, then you will not need to panic about your Chinese girl in the long-run.

My Lovely Chinese Spouse

My Chinese partner and I have been married for about fifteen years now; enough time to understand one another’s like and dislikes, abilities and failings and, certainly, the elements of cross-societal miscommunication which trigger the most misunderstandings in our domestic arrangements and daily lifestyle.

Normally, in view of the duration of our partnership, I often get asked questions by close friends and acquaintances regarding how mixed-culture relationships like ours survive when others between two different people of identical race are always falling apart.

In all honesty, I do not have a straightforward answer; however, some views which immediately spring to mind include:

At the end of the day, Chinese wives are girls (yes…, yes, I do know that is obvious) who want to be seen like…, well, women. Yet, maybe in mix cultural marriages each party tries that a bit harder, go that one step further for each other as, deep down, both recognize that, regardless how well they jump on, there will always be connection holes and societal misunderstandings-yet many of which can be resolved with a smile and hug!

One more legitimate point that seems to show up frequently (as I've noticed this from many colleagues who have also married Chinese girls) is the truth that many Chinese wives feel less restricted by a marriage to a foreigner-both in terms of what they're able to do both socially and in their new, extended family and friends, and also from a competent career point of view. Foreigners are, perhaps, normally more liberal with regards to women’s legal rights and careers, and can often aid bring out the very best in their wives.

From another perception, a counter point to this is that many foreign people truly admire the tenaciousness, toughness and resolve of Chinese girls when it comes to issues of family members, or their business knowledge; the old adage of Chinese girls being like among those conventional sweets which had a “smooth outside and a tough centre” still has a charm for a lot of men from overseas searching for a Chinese bride.

Then, we can also think about the issue of, hay can I consider it, “honour” where, likely the Chinese woman wishes to prove to her close friends that she can make a marriage to a foreigner work (you never know, she might have married him against the desires of her loved ones); similarly, from the point of view of the foreign man, if he has been through all the difficulty to transfer to a foreign nation and find and marry a woman from a different society, he too desires to show his family and friends which he can make the marriage work for the long run.

Naturally, it “takes 2 to tango” as a different old expression goes and there must be “give and take”, love and understanding from both sides in case you are in for the long haul…

What Precisely Do Chinese Ladies Really Want?

Chinese society is different from American culture. It is actually unusual, but true. This may lead to misunderstandings at your workplace, in everyday living also in dating. Whether you currently arrived in China and somebody has captured your eye or if you have resided there for some time and you're trying to puzzle out what is going on; knowing the distinctions in culture is important.

We've all heard of the familiar ideal guy in the western society being, handsome, dark and tall, today Chinese has a similar notion, but it is tall, rich and handsome (gao1fu4shuai4) which suggests tall, rich and handsome. Basically, take out a western bodily aspect and insert the financial component and you have what's a significant difference in precisely what Chinese women often look for in a man. This is not a result of shallowness, but has more associated with China’s hardship during almost all of the last century hurting even pretty young women only if by proxy. They want the feeling of loyalty (an1quan2gan3), meaning security in China can typically imply FINANCIAL security and safety. They cannot obtain that from a loser (diao3si1), that is a loser.

In case a tall, rich and handsome (gao1fu4shuai4) is the Chinese woman’s ideal man then loser (diao3si1) is her headache. The loser is not only poor, but is a poser too that makes him just annoying and a little bit of a nerd. To get the heart of a Chinese woman it is best to be regarded as Tall, rich and handsome.

At this point we all know that ladies typically need not just the shallow elements of a man as well. Even in a culture concentrated so much on finances it is still not enough.

Chinese girls want a man to take home to mom and dad and a loser will not be sufficient. The normal Chinese family pattern is that during school years dating is off the table, even in university! Students must be students only. They get this burden from university or college management, but mostly from their parents. The thing is once finished with school there's deep burden put on Chinese teenagers to got married. Many times the parents or guardians hand pick who their children will marry. For women, there's a race against thirty due to the cultural stigma of not being married by then as well, leaving a relatively short window for them to find somebody. Therefore when dating a Chinese young lady it's best not to fool around mainly because, usually, they aren't just in it for a fling due to some of the stress.

Finally, Chinese ladies want to be treasured by their husbands. Managing a lady properly goes further and must regularly be a high priority to guys dating in China or everywhere. This doesn't signify when courting a Chinese lady you have to do everything and anything she likes, but it is very important to make her feel that you understand and look after her.Similar to western women they have concepts of the dream wedding and dream marriage. Expressing her you really do care goes further.

Whether or not the Chinese women whisper tall, rich and handsome or loser behind the back the most significant idea is to be a good guy who cares for her. Every woman Chinese or else is different and have their very own goals and demands. That doesn't indicate there are not social tendencies in courting and in life in general though. There can be different demands and demands from family and community than what western ladies might feel and this features an intense influence. These types of differences might cause troubles if not understood, but it is really worth figuring them out if you like somebody who happens to be Chinese.
