In recent years, relations between Chinese women and non-Chinese men have become increasingly commonplace. Today, mixed pairs are visible everywhere, and not only in China, but also in other Asian countries. This may seem old-fashioned, but more recently, in some Chinese families, girls were forbidden to even speak to a man of a different ethnicity, not to mention some kind of relationship.
Obviously, many Chinese families abandoned the medieval stereotype: now Chinese women get acquainted and marry foreign men more and more. Hence the question. Why are Chinese girls so interested in foreign men?
There are a number of reasons, but the main ones are as follows:
1.Career
Career-oriented Chinese women often feel disadvantaged in their own environment and want a man who will treat her as an equal, as a partner. He will encourage her career growth and accept her lifestyle.
2.Age
Some Chinese girls decide to work immediately after graduation. It takes some time before marriage. By the time they decide to start a family, many of them at home are already considered too old. Western men are less concerned about age and value a woman who is well educated.
Some tips for men who want to date a Chinese woman
Chinese etiquette is full of nuances, and you can easily offend a Chinese girl or her family. Unintentionally, simply out of ignorance. So what do you need to remember about the features of close relations with a young lady from the Middle Kingdom?
Do not meet with her parents until you decide that your relationship has entered a serious phase. Even if the relationship is casual, you should still ask about their health, as well as pay attention to all the other points that she mentions. This shows that you are listening to her and are interested in her and her family.
Do not try to attract too much attention. The family is central to Chinese culture. If you want to earn the respect of your girlfriend’s family and friends, be polite and humble, even if it’s not typical for you.
The concept of “face” is an important part of Chinese etiquette and is equated with virtues and social values.
Avoid topics like politics. In general, avoid discussing controversial things - they can be interpreted as disrespect for the family.
Your tone should be respectful, do not swear and do not express your anger. Chinese girls do not like "hot" men, any explosion can cost you a relationship.
Do not drink too much, avoid smoking and drugs.
Tradition versus modernity
When you start dating a girl - a Chinese woman or not, it doesn’t matter - most often your choice is based on emotions. Your passion is partly based on physical beauty, and partly on inner experiences.
The second question, after attraction and compatibility is no less important. And he is in what values your Chinese girlfriend adheres to: traditional or modern. And here, believe me, there are nuances.
Modern Chinese girls more:
Sociable
Independent, both financially and emotionally,
Career oriented
Educated
Have the opportunity to live and travel on their own.
Traditional Chinese women more:
Family oriented
Diligent
Relatively shy and modest
Respectful.
Of course, not a single Chinese girl fits perfectly into any of the patterns, because no one fits perfectly into the stereotype of her culture. The girl with whom you will meet, most likely will have the characteristics of both "modern" and "traditional."
