[quote=GUEST23170,458028]Just in case there is any ambiguity, I am the OP Well Dodger, she does think it's ok for them to ask but she also thinks it's ok for me not to pay, as it is not western culture. I'm not sure what the parents would think because I haven't asked my gf to marry me yet and if I do I'll do in the western romantic gesture way rather than, imho, the less romantic Chinese bridal business contract between parents way. Nonetheless my girlfriend's friends think that to not pay the bride price is unacceptable and I'm sure she's steeling herself to not have a bp. Her friends and family are very vulgar, superficial no house no car, uneducated mainland types; when I first met her uncle I had to guess how much his rolex cost, needless to say it was millions. I doubt my gf would think it would be bad for her parents to ask because it is Chinese culture and the minimum that would be expected from a native guy, I genuinely think they would take into consideration that it's not my culture and so not ask an astronomical figure, but my parents and family have said they'd disown me for any price because they think I don't have the money and would have to ask them either directly or indirectly and bride price is such a contemptible practice.[/quote]
