things will balance out over time. China went from 1 extreme to the other. Just 30 years ago everyone had the same government job, made the same pay, lived in similar government provided housing (there was no private home ownership). Now 30 years later, as the world's luxuries are piled onto china for all to buy - just need money. It has become a full blown capitalist society (in the cities) where money is god, nothing else mattered. Eventually as the chinese get used to this western life style of excess and money-buys-anything, things will balance out to the norm, as other qualities come back in focus along side money. But not now though...
Hmmm... I wondered if it ever occurred to the guys there that if she would leave the guy with the bicycle for the guy with the BMW, she would leave the guy with the BMW for the guy with a Rolls. Which would make any guy she would want pretty stupid to want her, cuz when she leaves for the better car, she'd probably take him to the cleaners and bust him back down to the bicycle.
she said BMW. RR is not popular so she wouldnt even notice. However, guy with 2 bmw's would win. Looks like BMW is about the only product chinese care about outside asia and cant replace. regarding appartment and inability to love... this seem rather realistic - reflection of density of people and competition for space. Dont want to bring child in the world on the street.
bmw is actually not that expensive there because they have plants all over china. The 5 series for example starts at 400k yuan which isnt considered expensive for a midsized sedan in china (similar buick models are also priced at 400k yuan). 3s are even less. You dont need to be rich to buy them, an average joe white collar can afford a 3series with their regular 9/5 salary. Bmw cars are everywhere in china especially the big cities like shanghai, you cant walk two steps without almost getting ran over by one. It's not a very prestigious brand anymore. The new "cool" is a porsche suv, those go for well over 1mil yuan as it's all imported. This gold digger clearly isnt pro yet, or she would have known having a bmw in china doesnt mean much anymore.
Many women (in china & the US) dont seem to realize that wanting a man to give them these things pretty much makes them no different than a prostitute. And when man sees a woman act like this, he will treat her like one. The woman cant get these apartments & bmws on her own so she looks for someone to give them to her by offering herself. Yeah, they both might be temporarily happy for a little while, but after a while, she is going to be miserable because she will realize that she was "purchased" and the guy is going to want someone else after her looks fade.
these women are victims of inflated egos. like men in new york. ever hear of supply and demand? there is a growing shortage of women in china because of china'a 1 baby policy.
ZDREG: these women are victims of inflated egos. like men in new york. ever hear of supply and demand? there is a growing shortage of women in china because of china'a 1 baby policy. --------------------- +1 . Good thought. Kind of reminds me of when I worked at NASA in Hampton Virginia. It was said that the ratio of men to women was forty to one because of all the military facilities in the area. Women would make dates with multiple men for the same night and then stand them all up. Went to pick up my date one night and there were three other guys there ahead of me. Her mother said that she wasn't home.
