Hello Kate.

Has your sister ever visited Changsha? It's beautiful this time of year.

[Mister Barfly]

I have seen people in bars before communicating with translators.  Also like someone said someone from school will contact her eventually.  My wife is always having boys from her past contacting her and asking what she is upto.  When they find out she is married they are really shocked and dissapointed.  She has broken a lot of hearts without knowing it.

[Yokie Kuma]

I met a girl just the other day outside a local restaurant .... as a matter of fact another Barfly was with me .... we were standing there with our wives and our children ....

A girl comes up ... sort of cute .... and starts talking (in Chinese).  Asking questions like:

Where are you from?
How long do you sleep every night?
Where do you live?

And kept on and on .... even when she found out these were our wives.

Of course we weren't quite truthful as we told her our wives were Thai and Malay and couldn't understand Chinese .... he he .... eventually we had to escape inside and she kept on chatting with another guy who did not speak any any any Chinese .... she was looking for a westerner ... we have not decided if she wanted long term or not ...

Where is Stil, when he is needed??

You're trying to set the poor girl up with Stil?!? You heartless bastard!!!

I both would and have.

Yes, but you've also been known to date farm animals, inflatables, and ripe vegetables, so this doesn't really mean much.


Otherwise, I think there are a lot of good perspectives here. You can't go through life talking through translators, though, and IMHO a foreigner who'd date a girl he can't talk to has a sizeable risk of being the kind of person you wouldn't want your sister dating.





Like Stil, for example.

Farm animals??? I have never...well, I slept with a pig but it was totally innocent and platonic...

I do agree with El Jefe though. A relationship where the two parties involved have extreme communication difficulties, aside from the regular "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus" problems, can be a strain and lead to some rather unfortunate misunderstandings. In China, if a chap does not speak much Chinese and, as is sometimes the case, has more of an interest in steering the relationship towards mere...err...how to put it nicely...body language, I guess, I would not advise your sister to date him.

Hiya kate,

Not long after I first arrived in China, a good (Chinese) friend of mine introduced me to her older friend. The friend ans I are about 20 years older than our mutual friend. She spoke no English and I spoke less Chinese at the time. We had great times together and not just physical either. If you want, you'll always find a way to communicate.

Sadly we broke up. She had more cultural complaints, not language.

I am from Hangzhou and married a woman that did not speak any English when I met her, and we have been together for eight years and still in love. .

I think that there are a lot of cultural misunderstandings, and not all Sino-Foreign marirages are happy ones. I give my wife a lot of freedom and she does likewise. I think the family should be taken into account to, would your family accept a foreigner? If I was Chinese and had a Chinese daughter, I would rather her marry a Chinese person.

China has a severe male to female ratio, something along the lines of 108 males for every hundred females. There are too many men and not enough women, so women, even the plain ones, have choices. So, in general theory, your sister isn't trying very hard or is shy, which is the reason she has not found anyone.

Western men have bigger penises, so your sister might want to look at the goods before she buys the set. That is important.

[Calach Pfeffer]

You know the idea that northern people are tall and southies are short?

Blah blah blah and therefore Chinese are not (necessarily) genetically small.

Anyone teach PE students?  Take a ruler to class.  We need this question answered once and for all.

    Oh boy, western fellas believe that one?  

[AMonk]

....Western men have bigger penises....

Bigger than what?  A mouse or a moose?  Or something else.  This is a phallus fallacy.  An old wife's tale that has been passed around by Westerners, to make themselves sound good.  

Some men are bigger.  Some men are smaller.  So long as the lady is happy, who needs to take out a measuring tool??  (Or do I mean a tool measure )

[George]

Stop scoffing, ladies. Apparently, size does matter....(admittedly, this is from Fox, so it may not be true)

FOXSexpert: Guess What? Her Size Matters Too

Get out your measuring sticks. Turns out, size may matter – only not in the way most people think.

Surprisingly, a woman’s ease of orgasm may boil down to her own measurements and not his.

There was a great China Daily story debunking this 'myth'.  They conducted some tests.  Flacid. 

Seriously though, what they lack in length, asian guys apparently hold their own girth-wise.  Or so my Korean friends tell me.

Back on topic, call me sceptical git, but I just assumed 'Kate' was a troll.  Happy to be proved wrong.

[Day Dreamer]

asian guys apparently hold their own

Only if they can't find a date

I am in. I can cook, clean the house and Ive' got special skills in washing the bathroom plus . I am a potential exterminator too. So there will be no roaches and bugs in the kitchen and the sink. I understand Chinese better than i speak due to always listening to Chinese around. What do you thing now?
