Ok, so I am a younger guy here...under 40, and lately I have been spending allot of time reading the China News Daily. Not too long ago I was reading an article about some popular dating show there that seems to have struck a nerve among the Chinese government and the older folks there over "Moral Values"
Here is the short story...A female contestant was asked something along the lines of....Which would you choose.
1) Crying in the backseat of a wealthy boyfriends BMW car in a loveless relationship
2) Smiling and being happy on the backseat of your poor boyfriends bike.So she quickly sad that she would take the wealthy boyfriend as she would rather be in the BMW and his wealth was more important than happiness. As suspected many people decried the lack of any moral values of a women that only cares about wealth and the shows producers were actually taken to task for promotion of negative moral values in society....which I find very ironic as it seams that the government is heavily promoting this idea that wealth and consumerism is equal to the definition of success.
Ok, so now a few days later I was on a blog...sorry cant find it again, where the same subject was being discussed and they referred to a poll that was taken amongst a large group of young ladies under 30 and the results were shocking in that almost 65% of the ladies also felt that a man with money was more important than personal happiness.....OMG!!!
Now here I am seeking a lady in roughly the same age group and I am forced to look at this information and consider the fact that I have a 50/50 chance that every lady I meet will fake. lie, or whatever just for a chance to have a "good life" handed to her....so what is a younger man like to think? If I wanted a pet..I would get a dog. The blog mentioned the one child policy as one major reason for this mentality and that since the parents only have one child they spoil it and it has lead to a massive amount of selfish young adults that only care about their desires and not much else.
Sadly my lady and I have had some serious "conversations" lately over her sometimes major lack of thought for her actions, and she openly admits that even her own friends call her selfish....and on my last visit she did demonstrate this reality by showing up 2 hours late to one of our dates and did not even have an explanation...other than she was sorry to be late, thats it!
So....whats a guy to do?
Oh, and given the rapid rate of divorce in China lately...does anyone know what the policy is about how marital assets are divided in China? I mean if I get married and live there, buy an apartment and say a car...does she get to lay claim to it like here in the US?.....I do not like to think such things, but the facts are what they are and it seams that in the younger ladies...
