umm trying to lure someone into marriage with expensive gifts and promise that her parents will buy them an apartment is exactly being materialistic?

Shit mate, now I don't know if that's the joke, and we're being played OR some other shit my simple ass can't even begin to wrap around my grape.
I considered that a possibility but the title didn't suggest that. If so, it's too subtle for me...
Yes but not a gold digger, which is the only type of bad materialistic to braindead people
Yes Greentexts in dark mode. Yes my happy eyes.
TBF if you meet an Asian Girl in Uni in the USA then statistically they are more likely to be of a wealthier upbringing than like 90% of Americans.
How does that work?
They have to pay to come here
Corruption and vast wealth in China.
who said buying material goods for 3k was materialistic, smh...
Yeah, 4chan has always hated fetishizing Asian women.

Anon met a rich girl. Which makes sense because they are the ones who can actually afford to travel!
$3k in just clothes as a gift? Nah, she don't need a sugar daddy because her real daddy won Squid Game.
More likely runs it than won it.
Fucked up economy that we live in when we can't buy a home without parent's help anymore.
Who the hell ever said this crap?
Because there is a kernel of truth in it. Mainland Chinese are materialistic as hell.
Literally everyone who dated a mainlander.
Never heard of this stereotype. But I dont listen to Stereotypes anyways. All bullshit.
Stereotypes being bullshit is a stereotype? Wait that sounds stupid nevermind
u just fucked my brain
Ever seen "Crazy Rich Asians"?
no
People who travel to Pattaya for a "good time".
It really depends on the country. Anecdotally Chinanese girls from deeeeep mainland China are materialistic. They sorta can be since there are so few young girls in China so they can be picky.
Girls from Taiwan, Philippines ,Japan, Vietnam, Thailand are not like that.
IDK, I'm dating a girl from mainland and she isn't very materialistic I don't think.
I don't think you can really generalize based off race/location. American culture lends itself to being extremely materialistic, but plenty of people from the US find it disgusting.
It's entitled rich people. It's always entitled rich people. They're the same everywhere.
Fair enough. And as mentioned elsewhere in this thread a lot of Westerners' exposure to mainlanders would be international students who are already going to be selected from the wealthier Chinese people.
Sounds like your girlfriend might be studying here with a student visa or born here. Typically those girls come from very rich families and their concern is not "How do I use my daughter to make some money" instead, they are more focused on the child's needs.
When I say DEEP China. I'm talking about girls that is middle class and below in China.
I have friends that had to give a million rmb to her family to marry a girl. And do some fucked up shit during the ceremony, like drink foot water.
Yeah she's a PhD student and her parents both had (what I assume would be) good paying careers. That being said, Chinese people are still humans and can have an entire range of experiences and outlooks, regardless of class. But you're right that certain ideas are more culturally ingrained.
Ya, for sure they are elite. Plenty of doctors want to come to America and have zero change. You're basically dating a 1%er of China. Don't fuck it up.
Tbf the amount of 1%ers in China is like a third of my whole country's population.
And do some fucked up shit during the ceremony, like drink foot water.
Go on...
There are these "games" that they make the groom play. Most of which involves giving money to the family.
Like, doing 100 pushups and if you can't you pay. Or drinking water that was used to wash your brides' feet or give money. Most of the other ones are mild like do a sexy dance on a guy friend.
Watch me suck his dick too, Daddy
World would suck without Asians (both genders, in case that wasn't clear)
