By the same token, Asian girls are always admonished to marry upwards otherwise they will never have anything better than the already have. Not so true maybe today in Singapore, but Asia wide I would guess it still hold true.macaroonie wrote:What do you define as one level beneath?

Try dating someone who is smarter, hotter and makes more money than you. How long can you last with her without losing your sense of pride/sanity in Asia?Akimbo wrote:I'm programmed that way?

Stop being reasonable and humanizing!macaroonie wrote:But status, job, salary- these things all change with time. Down one notch today might be one notch higher tomorrow! Comparable status, intellect& someone you respect who will be there when you really need it! Isn't that equally or more important?
So Asian men prefer to date women less hot than themselves?the lynx wrote:Try dating someone who is smarter, hotter and makes more money than you.

Now I understand why some Asian males walk holding hands.
Obedience and humility rarely translate into money earning ability, in what is still a very male-dominated society.x9200 wrote:Besides, for a traditional male, he probably would not mind to have smarter and more money earning woman as long as he is the head of the house and she is sufficiently obedient, humble, cooks, takes care of children, household etc. etc. The problem is, smart and money making women are seldom like this.
