What Do Chinese Girls Want In A Boyfriend? | ASIAN BOSS

[@MoxieBeast]

so they're reasonable and straightforward-- in larger, world-class cities cost of living is higher. materialistic? no more than new yorkers.

[@krollpeter]

In actual fact most are lesser material than US women. But a wedding is a more economical relationship for their parents. In earlier times a marriage meant we build our life together. Nowadays many Asian girls more or less want to get a ready made nest along with the wedding, at least a small one.

[@BeyondTechnical]

The question they didn't ask is HOW much money. Of course people are going to want you to be employed but the difference in China is the expected level of earning. This entire video missed the most interesting point about Chinese culture and the expectation of men to not just earn a living but provide way above and beyond.

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

Generally, big city wages pay much more than if you lived in a more rural small city.

I recently travelled to Beijing and Shanghai, only staying in Shanghai for 2 days and 1 night and was in so much shock between the differences of Beijing from Shanghai! Beijing being far more diplomatic and traditional, while Shanghai was far more materialistic and modern. The price difference between everything was far pricier in Shanghai as well.

I don't think there's anything wrong with hearing the opinions from Shanghai too. Inform us that you think more materialistic people are present in Shanghai but it's good to hear different opinions. If you just want to hear people agree with your views then what's the point of watching videos such as this one? I know a lot of people get antsy even if one out of one-hundred people say money is more important but to me, I find it to be as interesting of a response, if not more interesting, since it's not always the case that those who prioritise money are materialistic. For obvious reasons, one being that they want to ensure a good life for their future children. I find that perspective to be an interesting one to hear from. So it's a shame people immediately dismiss an answer they don't like without allowing the person to go more into their reasoning. Though I can understand your concern. People will take one video as an example for the general population which is obviously quite an annoying thing to witness, especially if used to criticise a whole nation based on the actions of a few.

The Chinese don't believe in anything beyond this life and that plays an important role in shaping their values. In a Christian or even Buddhist worldview, people that are "successful" in this life may very well be hell bound or headed for a bad reincarnation based on their selfishness. In the worldview of Atheistic materialism, which is the quintessential worldview of Marxism-Leninism, all that really exists is power on THIS Earth. If killing political dissidents for Chairman Mao furthers the power of the "proletariat," so be it. If committing genocide against Uyghurs furthers the material interest that China has in Xinjiang's natural resources, so be it. There is nothing besides power on Earth. So why would Chinese women care about anything besides how much power/wealth a man has managed to accumulate?

Whereas the lady who mentioned personality might come from a more financially stable background and is independent and well employed, thus to her things like an ipad is a normal nice gift but not extravagant in anyway, perhaps to her requesting for a car or precious jewelry is what is considered unreasonable.

Having a house has always been a priority for Chinese girls... but that’s also because when you rent in China you have zero protection, your landlord can do whatever he wants so you can keep moving around if you can’t pay the rental increases.. kinda hard to raise a family that way.. all these things create this environment.

@@ayPersonality no cause money isn't what a relationship should be based on. People with normal lives and normal salaries make it perfectly fine in life without needing to exaggerate their needs in life. Just because someone makes alot of money that doesn't mean that their partner should be based on their salary as well. Alot of guys are dating jobless women while they make alot of money. Do you see those guys demanding from their girls to make the same amount of money? No. The whole difference stands on the fact women have the advantage that no matter what men will chase them and men need them. And since women have this advantage, they are trying to get the maximum out of it. Everybody should contribute the same in a relationship and have something to give and get. If money exists already then money should not be the issue.

It is not that the guy has to be rich but the guy has to hold a DECENT paying job to take care of the family. What happens if I am in an accident? The child no longer needs to be feed? It can cost up to 1million dollar to raise a child in the states, who do you think is providing this? My husband is my best friend and I love him alots. I love him as much as I loved my exs but I did not want to marry them. My last bf was a bartender, when he gets old what will he do? Can he feed the child? he can barely feed him self. Yes I don't mind dating him and being with him but there is no way I would marry him. My husband as well, if he didn't have a decent job I wouldn't marry him, I would date him and love him but not I would not marry him. In the end it is not really equal is it? The mom is still expected to take care of the child even if she works. No one compliments= a working mom for changing the diaper but our society sure compliments male who changes the diaper.

[@allimJ]

The need of finding a man with a stable income is evolving from the fact, that women when giving birth, having children are still screwed in our society. So we are sadly forced into this. And men as well. They know there will be a time when having kids, the income of the women will drastically decrease. So this expectations are sadly constructed by the work/society situation we still live in. If women wouldn’t get disadvantages by simply getting pregnant and children this topic would easily disappear.

[@XhosaShinobi01]

I'm not sure about this. Women only came to start really participation/allowed to participate in most jobs as men, in the last century.

IVE WANTED THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG

[@michaelhilliard2370]

I love what Asian Boss is doing and I love a lot of these videos, but I wish they would have asked better questions in this one. There's a difference between 'poor' and 'no job' and how high of a salary a girl or her parents require a potential boyfriend to have. Anybody remember the Chinese girl who famously said, "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bike"? They should have asked about that. Maybe Asian Boss can do a sequel? Also, the gender imbalance was misrepresented. There are about 30 million more men than women, and those men who are likely to never get married or even date. But you're not going to find them on the streets of Shanghai. They're concentrated in poor, rural areas. Also, the one-child policy had a huge effect: as a result, you'll find more relatively rich women in cities, and relatively more poor men outside of them. When the women in the video said they felt there were more single women around them, that's because there are.

[@xxwallzxx4509]

Money shouldn't be the topic in a relationship in dating. But in marriage and settling down. Avoiding the issue is rough. But money shouldn't be the foundation towards your relationship. All of those crash hard because the love is materialistic and not on each other.

Happy birthday

[@whoreforlore4878]

I think it's great that you came to the change in preference from money to personality however I wouldn't entirely blame her, if you do blame her. I don't know if you're saying that you interpreted the situation as her not holding materialistic items with great importance (hence why she felt no need to give one to you), so that's when you learned materialistic items held less value when it came to love and therefore personality is more important. Or if you're saying that you interpreted that situation as her not giving you a gift as her taking but never giving (materialistic). So you realised you think such a personality is not worth having money for and therefore personality is more important. If it is the latter, I wouldn't blame her entirely unless you've deliberately stated that you wanted to give gifts to each other. You chose to give a gift on her birthday on your own accord, however she does not owe you one on your birthday simply because you gave her one. I criticise such logic because a lot of people ruin relationships with this thinking. Using a simpler example; you hold the door for someone and when they don't hold the door open for you next time, you get mad at them for not opening the door for you. Even though you never established the agreement to open doors for each other, you blame the person for not catching on? It doesn't make much sense to me because then you're not doing it out of kindness but to get something else out of it (respect?). I say so because I don't catch on to these things in my life. If someone doesn't tell me that they want to give gifts, I won't give gifts simply because I dislike gift-giving. And if said person becomes upset with me because I didn't abide by their made up contract which they didn't tell me about, then interpret my lack of participation as materialism, I wouldn't like it. Although, there's likely to be a culture difference here regarding gift-giving on a birthday equating to a healthy relationship or love? I don't hold birthdays with such importance so my perspective also derives from there too. I'm not saying you are like this but I thought it'd be interesting to provide a different perspective.

Why do all these girls think that they're entitled to have the money instead of supporting the guy from the bottom to the top of his career?

[@Nothingbutdust_]

The reason could be the same as why it is so difficult for someone who's never had a job to get a job in the first place. In school for example girls almost never date boys below their own grade and they most certainly don't date boys who's never gotten any education at all. This idea continues on into adulthood when they get into the workforce. One example is employers seeking for employees. They will ask you about your past work experience and education and it's very difficult to find a job without much experience in these. So the same goes for some girls as well. But luckily all girls aren't like that and some are different, however these can be hard to come by... But this is just my opinion :)

[@liecretsev]

Much of the discomfort we in the west probably feel when watching this emerges simply from the uncomfortable frankness in the expression of this consumerist attitude. Some of it though is also based in a underlying view of marriage/dating as something more transactional and empty than I would want for myself.
