[quote=PINETREE                ,34459]GRIZ,Yes, I am playful but if readers feel that I am hateful towards such expats, it cannot be for nothing - it is based on what I perceive from the writings here and from my real life experiences. I have promised myself not to write anymore here but let this be the final exception - hahaha ! Let me reiterate the position from my point of view :-1. I am not objecting to "foreign talents" in anywhere - as long as they can contribute. As I wrote before, I myself was a foreign talent in HK/China too. I just wanted to know the quality of the persons behind the profession - this is the whole point of my inviting further discussion that culminates in the start of this thread by Apault - not really to ask expats to justify their being here, as most don't seem to realise.2. To me, declaring that the Chinese women love to be ... by these western men is very humiliating - even tho I now must admit that there could be some truth in it. Probably the Chinese members don't feel it.3. I cannot be sour grape - esp when one doesn't know anything about my background. One cannot assume that there is something in him that I envy so much or at all. By saying this, one can imagine the arrogance of this person & the condescending attitude that such a person carries with him to this country.4. Invitation to brothels was brought up. Of the 2 evils, it is my opinion that visiting brothels is more honourable than trying to bait maybe some ignorant gals here. Those gals in brothels are professionals providing such a service, earning a living like all of us. So are some of the advertisements by females/agencies here. Expat men who advertise here are not on the same line, are they ?Similarly, coming to China to look for a bride is fine as this is the clear target - no fooling around and no one would be hurt - though there are risks.5. We know that a lot of western foreigners are playing around. We cannot stop them - tho from what I observe here, some Chinese members do adore them, their culture & hope to attract them as well. But the least the expats can do is to shut up and not encourage such advertisements to continue - esp on this Forum. I like to think that this is a clean and decent Forum. 6. In western countries, "a quick roll in the sand" for free is normal but China is generally still traditional, I believe. There are still a lot of young women who believe in falling in love and getting married & many do not understand the western play. Please don't bait such women. Quick roll with your own kind who understands the rules well. 7. Expats are in foreign land which they are not familiar with. And there will be cultural differences. If you are not sure whether what u wanna say/do is in order, don't say/do it. Find out first. So that encouragement to advertise was out of place.[/quote]
