Topic: news Dealing with Negative Stereotypes of Cross-Cultural Dating

The real truth is that there are good and bad in both sexes and all cultures. My guess is that like in almost all cultures, young women have everything to gain and not so much to lose vs. older women who have experience and who have learned that love is more valuable than money. I believe that younger Chinese women and men for that matter, have not yet learned that love is far more than a wallet, a flat, arm candy and a throbbing in the loins. In this day, we all fail to realize that words mean little, but actions and deeds say everything. So, if you are a woman or a man in a relationship, notice and pay attention to the acts performed by the other and give less credence to words of love and promise. They are just vocabulary and emotions which respond to the weather of the moment and the day. It's the age of 'taking advantage of others'. Young Chinese women who have less income because of cultural influence of education and family expectations take advantage of older men. Older men take advantage of young Chinese women because the man has property and money in many cases. It's a matter of having something the other doesn't have. I don't know about you, but for me, 'being with someone else because they have something you don't have' is not the definition of love. Love is based upon sacrifice and devotion. Love and family matter most and those two ingredients of life depend mostly on acts and deeds between a man and a woman over time. After all, in the end, family and love is all you have anyway.
