Considering i had the pleasure of gaining my experience from woman, I will tend to agree with you. Most all men, are just phallic symbols, and when there are many to chose from, white ones, that is, then it's the spice of life.This disparity may actually reflect differences in the pull of the women rather than of the men
Poor Gilly, a typical post, one can read them like a book, envy, jealousy, afraid of a little competition, bitchy, and in Singapore too, very impolite, and the gag is sure to backfire.Gilly wrote:I have a question...
What are the local people doing on an expat forum arguing with expat's views?
This is my third expat experience and I have really come to value Expat forum's, but I just can't understand why so many local Singaporeans hang around these sites. Aprt from the women who are obviosuly looking for a nice white guy Sorry had to get that gag in.
Now that I've been here for a couple of months, I have more to contribute, so I'll be seing you.

Were you even aware that Asian expat sites existed before you left the US?TexasExpat wrote:I certainly didn't spend my time surfing any of the Asian expat sites (and I'm assuming there are many) back when I lived in the US!
Becaue the debate is about our lifestyles, our attitudes, our behaviours our everything. Because we care about how we are being viewed. Because sometimes expats views seem biased and unfair. Because it spice up the debate. Becaue a debate won't be interesting if everyone agrees on the same thing again and again.TexasExpat wrote:Gilly-
But, yes, I still find it a bit curious that so many seem to feel the need to observe and actively participate on what is obstensibly a forum set up to cater to the needs of the expat community here.

Pollyminaz--All good reasons and I would agree on most. I didn't say I had a problem with it or wanted it to stop, just that I found it a bit curious. This may be an expat site, but it's your country after all. The site's called "Singapore Expats" and not just "Expats" for a reason. I for one welcome the positive contributions from our Singaporean hosts.pollyminaz wrote:Becaue the debate is about our lifestyles, our attitudes, our behaviours our everything.

Not surprising.TexasExpat wrote:Maneo--Nope, I wasn't. As I said, what Asians (and I don't mean Asian-Americans) living in the US thought about my country or us as Americans wasn't anything I ever honestly gave one thought to.maneo wrote:Were you even aware that Asian expat sites existed before you left the US?TexasExpat wrote:I certainly didn't spend my time surfing any of the Asian expat sites (and I'm assuming there are many) back when I lived in the US!
Uhh... so your ghosts are counted in that part of the census that records interracial marriages, but not in that part which covers incomes, and in addition to the 15 million recorded US citizens of Asian descent there's another 150 million skulking about in the shadows?banana wrote:For every Asian that goes on census records, there are probably 10 "ghosts". As much as I personally find it distasteful, that's how resources are distributed in the Asian community.
OK, you're making me more and more curious. How about an example?KTV lounges and Geylang brothels are but the more obvious displays. A lot of it has to do with linguistic nuances and communication subtleties that, quite honestly, I have trouble explaining. All I can say is keep in mind that when it comes to affairs sexual, Singaporeans speak in "code" and operate on certain things being "understood" so much so that unless you're part of that clique, it's unlikely you will get it.

Let me teach you the First Rule of Holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging
Classy, personally I would've used "nice shoes, wanna f@ck?" But I guess you're playing up the geek chic with that line.jpatokal wrote: OK, you're making me more and more curious. How about an example?
I mean, it's not like us non-Singaporeans would speak in "code" and operate on certain things being "understood". This is why my regular chat-up line is "Say, how about we go back to my place and I insert my penis into your vagina?"
Really KSL? What book are you reading? How do you read envy/jealousy (they are the same thing by the way, but I'll let that drop becuase the rest of your rant is so interesting and I'm intrigued). What competition exactly am I supposed to be scared of? Bitchy and impolite? You can't understand English I'm guessing (and based on your recent post in this thread, you can't communicate in it either) which makes me think you're an older local. Which then leads me to believe that you're a bit immature for your age. I doubt any 'normal' people would share your views, but you're a bit strange aren't you?ksl wrote:Poor Gilly, a typical post, one can read them like a book, envy, jealousy, afraid of a little competition, bitchy, and in Singapore too, very impolite, and the gag is sure to backfire.Gilly wrote:I have a question...
