[quote=GUEST01974,308783]OK I'm white. I live in China and I have to be honest. There are many beautiful men and women. But the amazing thing is. I don't see a huge difference in the numbers between the west and the east. I mean you talk about small physiques, but Chinese people are getting fat. I guess the obesity rate has increased 28 fold since 1985 and the next gen. is shocking doctors and I mean it is shocking. They look like little beach balls. It's a given that the three chins on an Asian person is smaller. I mean, no one can argue that. But lets be honest. Many thousands of miles divides America and China. As well as with todays media, it's hard to gauge what things appear to be. The American media has done an amazing job at glorifying Chinese women and does little for the Chinese male. As far as the statements about Chinese men not liking American women. Thats totally not true. Many American women will come over and sleep with Chinese men, but idea of a Chinese husband has never been proposed to the female demographic of America. Besides the average Chinese males future prospects are based mostly on finding a good job and supporting the wife and kids. The sex roles are much more diverse here. The husband works, perhaps the wife has a part time job . But she drives the car and controls the money and the shopping. He wears what she wants. She cooks his lunch and gives him money for cigarettes, maybe dinner then a couple of beers at the KTV. Except that in many cases they are slugging that insufferable rice wine. Things are still very traditional here and the people are proud of that. Women are of course taking a more dominant role. They often think that you can marry just anyone and then change them after (and it's all a segway to higher divorce rates). Which is a predisposition even amongst Chinese men. But the idea for the most part is inconceivable to the American man. Who come to China in search of the nonthreatening subservient wife that American media has portrayed. That kind of women is rare, far, and few in between. Not to say that the site of a wife following 15 feet behind her husband isn't uncommon, but this situation is for the most part segregated to the older generations.[/quote]
