sunyata Posted March 22, 2004 at 11:41 PM Report Posted March 22, 2004 at 11:41 PM well, to answer snowball's question...I am no expert on modern Chinese society, but I think there are 2 main theories you can use to explain this phenomenon: 1) Gold-digging - chinese girls like to date wersterners for the slightly practical reasons of finding a rich guy, who will marry you and take you to a beautiful country (not only 美国), where you will live happily ever after, visiting your firends and family once in a while to make them jealous 2) Curiosity - date a foreign guy and this is your rare chance to appear significantly different and really cool. Plus - you can learn English (all foreigners speak it!) and maybe even try some pizza why do foreign guys like dating chinese girls? I think that's a silly question (the answer is obvious) , but maybe someone else will answer it
Ian_Lee Posted March 23, 2004 at 12:15 AM Report Posted March 23, 2004 at 12:15 AM Actually I don't see any conflict between Chinese guys and western guys dating Chinese girls. Why? Because their targets are different. The Chinese girls that most westerners perceive as pretty are usually deemed ugly acoording to Chinese standard. Example? Lucy Liu. Almost every Chinese would say she is ugly while most western guys would say she is pretty.

skylee Posted March 23, 2004 at 02:16 AM Report Posted March 23, 2004 at 02:16 AM The girl in the photo is ugly. Take away her make up and you will see. But I think westeners like a face like this - narrow eyes, flat nose, and high cheekbones. I like moon face, big eyes, high nose, big smile with dimples, someone like 楊千嬅.

Maybe foreigners get attracted to that Chinese female ideal (too often portrayed by Gong Li ) Most Chinese wives I saw (ok, it was only a few) were not very obedient, but kind of bossy...
bathrobe Posted March 23, 2004 at 04:45 AM Report Posted March 23, 2004 at 04:45 AM I'm a laowai and I think she looks ugly! But she has the lure of exoticism for Westerners. Besides, thick lips are supposed to be sensuous, and so are half narrowed eyes in some circumstances!
OM3RTA Posted March 23, 2004 at 04:50 AM Report Posted March 23, 2004 at 04:50 AM well..maybe. why i said that bcuz when i was studying abroad (the States), i got these few American frenz who were so fond of asian gals frenz, so i asked why? they said that they (these gals) are way more polite and very ladylike...hmm, i dun know how true that is??
