Is there something genuine left, I wonder.

GUEST64234	the majority of marriages end up a sham anyway. this sounds a lot more honest than a "real" marriage to me.

GUEST0710	Those men who can't make enough money to support their women always complain that women are materialistic. I don't see there is anything wrong with the Chinese girls trying to marry a foreign man and moving abroad. It is men's undeniable rights to seek a better life. The safety need is the basic human need. In particular, women have long been put in a weak position. They are more concerned that their life partners should assure their basic need of survival. By far, women remain discrimated in career. Many an employers don't like to employ women. Though unwillingly employ women, they will underpay women. So never blame girls who are trying to marry rich people. If you are smart and capable enough, then why not make yourself become an elite of the society?

PYGRANT Points: 26 Join Date: Nov 15, 2007 Status: Offline	I'm a 63 y/o African-American psychologist, who married a 53 y/o Chinese professor of English. What can I say: we fell in glorious, old fashioned, love and talked on QQ for 3 hours a day every day for about 6 months. Finally, having fallen head over heels in love, I came to China to meet her, her family, and her friends and fellow teachers for a month. I wasn't even looking to marry a Chinese person (I was looking on e-harmony and several other western sites also). I was looking to find a particular kind of person and it turned out she was Chinese. We've been married since 21 Jul 2008 and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied. Sometimes it's not that complicated, it's just love, pure and simple. Yes, she's a conservative, old-fashioned Chinese woman, so we sometimes have cultural differences, but we are always talking and so far have resolved all difficulties without hurt feelings.
