HK Women and Women in general...

The rich in Hong-Kong and Taiwan usually prefer a lady under 30 as she can have more kids or healthy kids as they say. I know of quite a few wealthy locals in Taipei that are looking for a lady to ...
Agreed! this is also happening in Taiwan as well. In Taiwan it's more severe than HK because there is hardly any new immigration into the secluded island. Whereas HK constantly has a lot of Mainland people immigrating into HK so there is still more selection in HK than there is in Taiwan.
I just feel that in general women in Asia especially, as well as around the world, women are looking for men who are better off financially so that they can climb in the social ladders of this society. It's a whole lot more pronounced in Asia, where wealth and status is emphasized a whole lot more than elsewhere. Movies and TV shows all show that a Rich man can give a women happiness and that they are the ideal partner- A Rich guy. In Western movies they still portray in movies and TV shows that money is not everything and that love can overcome adversity.
When was the last Chinese TV movie/Drama, Korean TV drama that shows that a poor guy is the best choice so long as he can work hard and make a women happy on a minimum wage? hardly any! most of what you see are good looking young, successful men with lots of money and power and status and connections that rescues a poor girl out of her low socioeconomic situation. (please do not mention Pretty Women the movie with Richard Gere, that is one movie out of a many where it is a reverse. Also Billionaires don't marry prostitutes on the streets of LA)
To sum it up, there's a famous quote from the dating show in China called 非常勿扰 where a male contestant was poor and was looking to find a women who would love him for who he is and not what he has. He stated that many women who marry rich men are sad because Rich men don't treat their wives well, but would be happier with a poorer man who would truly love her.
her quote is "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a back off a bicycle"
In Chinese: 我宁愿坐着宝马哭 也不要坐在自行车上笑
After this comment was broadcasted on Chinese TV, the central government was so concerned that they had reprimanded the TV station and had a nice long talk with all Dating shows to rehearse their lines and not say comments that would incite domestic turmoil and anger amongst the Chinese people. Society in China and elsewhere is changing and women in general are not like how they use to be anymore.
Whether it be HK women or all other women, I hope that many can come to the realization that relationships and marriage all still follow the laws of economics. If you are a man or woman who is good looking or has a good background you have a higher chance of getting what you want. But if you have other areas that are lacking, then the market will determine what you can get. You can wait for as you want, but time will only devalue your worth in the long run and your equilibrium price will go lower as time progresses and if you do nothing to improve yourself.
Sounds harsh, but that's life. |
