Articles : beijinger333 commented on news Are Chinese Men Good Enough for Chinese Women?

1.) Chinese men look awful. I'd be pissed if I was an international girl living here. I couldnt look that ugly even if I tried. 2.) Most mainland Chinese (male and female) suffer from SFS (stupid face syndrome) so won't look good no matter how fashionable/fit. 3.) Let's take a look at the neighbors: Russia, Korea, ...

Genuine question: If China was the "world leader", how do you think China would go about this?

I believe laowai has a negative connotation. When I started working for a Chinese company last year, one of the employees referred to me as laowai. The manager promptly said not to call me that and that she should instead use waiguo pengyou. The way the manager corrected her is what really clued me in that laowai is ... Full Comment>>
