 | In the fairy tale, the beautiful princess is destined to meet her Prince Charming and finally live together happily forever. However, it does not work in real life. Few beautiful 'Princesses' could meet their 'Prince Charming' and live happily. In most cases, those beautiful princesses finally got married with a guy who is not charming or handsome. If you go to colleges, you will find that most beautiful girls actually do not have a very handsome boyfriend. On contrary, their BF is very ordinary and plain. As a Chinese saying goes, a fresh flower had been stuck on a heap of cow dung. Have you noticed this phenomenon? Why do those girls choose a very ordinary boy? Is it hard for them to find a guy who can match her very well (handsome and charming)? I'd like to hear your voice on this matter. |

| Maybe they don't see them as ordinary. I seem to remember it's the women who usually say men should not be so obsessed with visual beauty, the inner beauty of the person is more important. If you are right in your observation BBQQ, then Chinese girls are true to this idea. |

| Maybe those pretty girls are smart enough that they can see past the appearances? Maybe those “ordinary guys” have other qualities that their girls love? Maybe they are kind, loyal and they treat their girls right? What good is a handsome face if he is treating you like dirt? That’s just my guess. But I am not Chinese so I don’t really know how Chinese girls think. What do you think? ^_^ |

| Well, I read a weird article that gave a weird answer to this question. Why do pretty girls and charming boys be together? Their have paid much to their self-esteem and dignity. If a pretty girl loves a very handsome boy, she will expect him to break the ice and take the first step. She thinks that she is so pretty so that it is a shame to tell the boy her feelings. However, they do not know that the handsome boy also has the same thought with her---hoping she can take the first step. Both expect the other side to break the ice. That is why they can not be together. Is this true? |

| Very interesting theory you got there, JimmyB. That’s the first time I heard of such a thing. Does that apply to Chinese only? |

| I do not know. Perhaps, those pretty Chinese girls have the day on this issue. |

| Well said Griz, we were all too polite to say it :) Happy Christmas! I'm not sure about the first part of Jimmy's idea but it is certainly true that in China both sides are shy, both are waiting for the other to break the ice, especially the girls who say it is the boy's responsibility. Schooling is mixed but the genders are still strongly separated. There is little encouragement or support for young people to learn the skills of social interaction between genders. |

| Wow, haven't realized that Christmas Day is coming. Merry Christmas to you all, my friends. Quote: Schooling is mixed but the genders are still strongly separated. There is little encouragement or support for young people to learn the skills of social interaction between genders. Exactly, Paul. Did you read "'Can group dance lead to puppy love?", a thread in this community? It is the reflection on what you said. Those young boys and girls wouldn't like to take hands to dance. Some of them even use paper to avoid touching his or her partner's hands. |
