I wonder how the ethnic groups in "the west" will think after they read this comment.

bacardidrinker: Your sweeping assumptions about people's motivations for marriage seem narrow-minded and appear to reflect insecurities that you have about your ethnicity, your place in society, etc. Unless you're one of the two people in a marriage, you don't know anything about it. Appearances are just that -- superficial.

dude, put the rum down and walk away! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe any girl in question just might be attracted to the guy? Does it have to be a rejection of her own race? Why do people always have to place the race card? Can't it just be something simple as mutual attraction, regardless of colour, race, ethnicity?

To paraphrase from the movie Bulworth, "Let's all keep shagging until we're all the same colour!"

It is a matter of race. It can be proven both empirically and factually.

1. Anyone looking at WM/AF couples can tell that the AF is usually quite attractive. (not so the WM)

2. The California marriage registry shows that there are 4 WM/AF couples for every AM/WF couple married.


Attractive women can have the choice of any man. Since there are hundreds of HK men for every WM, it is obvious they are deliberately choosing the WM over her own race.

There is attraction on both sides, but it's not purely based on personality- the AF gets a white guy, the WM gets a smooth skinned hot looking "exotic" babe.

It's easy to test.

WM- if an ugly girl had the same personality as the attractive babe you are with, would you go out with them?

AF- if a Indian/Pacific Islander/Negro with the same personality as the WM, would you be in a relationship with them?

Deep down, you all know the answer to these questions.

You're most wrong in this respect. Those between 25 - 40 are the most polite decent people in HK. 9 years of compulsory education in HK started at the time of the 40 age group when they began primary schooling. Though we have more university students and high school graduates than 10 years ago, it is an undeniable fact young people nowadays are generally rude, not just in HK, but anywhere in the world. We blame this on the school for neglecting their conduct, not teaching them morals and ethics.

It's a fact that HK people are becoming colder and ruder, I blame this on global economic depression. When I was in Japan in 1984 and 1994, I found the Japanese people very nice and polite. When I was there in 1998, esp. in Tokyo, I found them very rude and racist.

Problems are problems, it's the way you look at them that make you sound racist.

that is true of beautiful women everywhere, they have their choice. You sound jealous. A little penis envy maybe?

And given that newspaper article several months ago, that local couples needed sex counselling, cuz they couldn't figure out what the hell to do...well is it any wonder?

What a BS:
" WM- if an ugly girl had the same personality as the attractive babe you are with, would you go out with them?

AF- if a Indian/Pacific Islander/Negro with the same personality as the WM, would you be in a relationship with them?"

As a WM, if 2 girls have the same personality but one is attractive and the other one is ugly and because I am not an idiot, I will try to seduce the attractive one.....it is obvious..no need to go to Harvard to answer this.

As I am not a AF, I let them answer the second question ok...

I am rather amused that anytime the topic of dating/relationships is brought up in a forum, people are grouped into rather generic, non-descript categories like AF and WM and then each group is attributed with rather dull stereotypes. This does little to actually solve any issue at hand. It does not help answer why person A likes/doesn't like person B or person C doesn't get laid and thus, has to blame ethnicity or whatever else comes to mind. As we have seen in this thread cultural issues can be difficult enough to overcome; stupid generalisations along ethnic lines completely miss the point.
