Don't go to HK to find something like that.
I think we are talking about HG & WGs, not candidates for a wife. And since we are talking about WGs, it seems that most of the selection or a large portion of it is imported from the Mainland. Thus, he should be able to buy some time with a girl with those traits he was looking for.
madeinsf,
There are gold diggers everywhere and of every race. I am sure there are more than a few PRC girls that would be interested in hooking up with an affluent guy in HK. It may be more common among other girls, but I doubt PRC girls are immune.
Read reports, look for GFE or GND, which will probably be a little more of what you are looking for. Seriously, the 3 best things in finding a good girl are reading reports, looking at real photos (unfortunately you usually have to be RA30) and making a list or spreadsheet. Happy hunting.
Bonkers,
I do agree with what you said in post #6. It does seem that that some of the Chinese bros prefer thinner girls with very light complexion. Whereas, Western guys don't mind a little tan.
Also, I have had more than one Thai girl say that Western guys are much more inclined to visit them than Chinese bros. I think skin tone, language and body shape all are factors there. But as someone noted, there are plenty of girls to cater to each guy's taste.
