Okay, thank God the girl I'm talking to isn't like her. Otherwise I'd just marry the next psycho from PoF!

WOW...could you imagine if this was the standard for all Chinese women?  This forum would be dead, and chnlove would be out of business.

I wonder how this "idyllic" scenario will look in about 12 months time...when she gives birth to a daughter !!!!

About then she will sign up with CHNL to find some "rich" Western Man to keep her in the luxury she would like to be accustomed to...

You have been warned :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

With that much money to throw at a lady, ...i don't think he'll have much problem financing 2 or 3 sprogs.

Now, ....if they ALL turn out to be girls, Then he might start having thoughts of finding a new model!! haha!!

But they can only have 1 child....no options to try again.... !!! I was suggesting that on the birth of a GIRL.....this wedding bliss coud rapidly evaporate !!

On a similar theme, I watched a documentary on China on our TV last night.

Amongst the interesting stuff was a segment on the "Marriage Market" in Guangzhou.

On each Sunday morning, thousands of people gathered some place beside the River and they were there to try to arrange marriages/meeetings for family members who were not yet married, or were divorced and could not find a suitable partner.

There were some very lovely Ladies and also many Parents with photos of their Sons/Daughters for whom they were prospecting.

There were quite a few Western Men in the gathering and many were quite "old". The interviewer asked these Men what was their purpose to be there and the general reply was that they could get a drop-dead gorgeous Chinese bride...along with a good payment from the family if they were willing to marry.

Some of the older guys.....must have been 60 ish ......were in deep negotiations for very young and beautiful Women (usually with one female child). They expected to get up to US$ 50,000 as a wedding "gift" from the family.

It was all very bizarre, but it strikes me that it may be another "plan B" if all else fails on a visit to China ?????

At least you would be sure that the person was real !!!!!

Sure they can have more than one child if they choose to, they just get hammered money-wise, and the subsequent children are not entitled to many of the benefits the first child has....

DavidE,

They have these things in every city, and in several locations within that city...

I think there bullshitting about the 50,000 dollar pay-off though, That's for the very rich of China, and they wouldn't be seen dead at such a place. But it's real interesting to watch these gatherings, which are normally seen in the public parks and open spaces...
It also depends on the woman/man (child) if they are willing to marry the person the parents find at these places....

But you do have a good point, about using such places as a plan B if all goes pear shaped!! ...I wonder if anyone here, has met a lady by going down this path?? ...Probably not!! ...haha!!!
