Hey sister, thank you so much for making a video on men's side of the story just as women. We men also have a lot of issues and struggles in life. You are such a nice lady because you show both male and female sides of the story. I wish you success. China is the Best country in the world. And Chinese people are the smartest and the most innocent people in the world. May God Bless You sister.❤

It's the patriarchy that is backfiring there. China used to be a very patriarchal country before and women used to have little to no autonomy and decision-making over their own lives just like now in South Asia where I live...maybe women are doing these because of what happened in the past. Also, I don't think most women are materialistic even, although they do want to have a decent household where they can decently earn their livelihood and not get raised in poverty. Also, if men seek beautiful and slim women which is demanded from women, they need to look handsome, too, to build up the attraction. Hope it's clear.. also, According to statistics both men and women cheat almost equally and needless to say that's an unforgivable act.

I thing you all have heard the expression Butong de Guojia butong de wenhua. I believe that 1 child policy adopted by china favouring a male than female has taken its tool on the overall gender population. Its easier for a women to find a partner rather than men, hence all those demands required by then as well as their parents. No wonder the level of divorce in getting higher and birth rate declining and population getting older. Being materialist can be good but it comes with price tag. One can not exchange Love, sharing, togetherness and most importantly Compromise with so many unnecessary gifts. As always a wonderful topic to be shared. Many thanks Eileen.

@dogfly5631 2 ай бұрын

The one-child policy does not favor sons over daughters, but rather favors sons over daughters in traditional thinking. This is reflected in many farming and civilized countries. Instead, the government advocates: "Both boys and girls are born the same."

*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone! Access the playback speed controls as follows: *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).

in Indonesia we also have caili (bride price) but we don't use this word, we use "uang susu" or "uang panaik". If I convert 200,000 yuan to IDR = IDR around 400 million. this amount is too big. I think here just around IDR 100 million or even below depend on the man, how much he can afford. because the money is given to the mother's of bride to say thanks already taking care the daughter. This is what I know.

婚姻對許多男生來說也是困難的、不利的、不可取的，對許多女生來說也是不利的，但個人本身也有責任。能夠擁有美滿的婚姻是擁有美滿的婚姻的必要條件。尋找一個合適的伴侶是找到那個伴侶的必要條件。each of us is the common denominator of our own affairs, including situations where we are in a bad marriage, or we can't find a suitable person to marry, or we don't want to marry, etc. etc.; therefore, while many of our personal circumstances as well as society generally in many ways create these situations, don't we have the responsibility to rise out of them? we are not entitled to anything.

One day she was helping me finding an apartment, that day after finishing visiting all the places, when we were in the car , she looked at me and she said " If you want to have a serious relationship and get married in future, you must have a house in China " then she told me the price of the apartment she was renting and wanted to buy later. I said that i wouldn't be able to buy immediately and that was the last time i saw her 😂

老師好！我是同志有三十七歲跟丈夫九個年結婚了。我們的家人都比較傳統的也對同志文化不太接受，因為這樣所以我們沒有一個超貴的婚禮。我們決定要婚以後就去政府中心申領婚紙一共一百美元。不要禮物不要拍照不要告訴家人朋友們，九個年過去了還是一起。在美國文化裡人也還喜歡非常貴的婚禮但是一半離婚。我發現一般人婚禮標準太高了，不管男生女生都有這樣的想法。他們的基礎不是愛是愛拍照給別人看，社交媒體讓社會變成瘋狂的自私的。對我來說沒有錢的人並不是不好的事，只要認真地工作關愛別人有禮貌的個性那就好了

I'm from New Zealand, and have a chinese gf, she may have been a little materialistic when I first met her, but she has since embraced kiwi mentality, which is that money, materials arent important. But she has explained to me an issue with chinese men, and has said she would really struggle to go out with a chinese guy now. The issue is that a lot of chinese guys are "diewei", which is a "know it all" in english. Actually since she has told me this I have noticed it in many of my asian male friends, its very important for them to appear as the one that knows everything, and being around someone like this can be exhausting.

I think what you are referring to is 爹味, 爹 means father, and 味 comes from 味道, which can mean flavor or style. So some boyfriends in China are very fatherly in that they give a sense of security and care for all of the girlfriend's needs. But this also means that they might have a more chauvinistic or traditional point of view that girls need to be taken care of. (My boyfriend is sort of like this, but not so much that it is restricting.)
