Q: Do Chinese gossip much?

I'm not trolling, I'm being serious, honest.  Tonight an old English speaking Chinese gentleman walked up to me in my apartment lobby and asked how old I was, He then told me I'm a hero in the apartment  building because everyone knows I bring a different woman home every night. I told  him he is mistaken and I don't know the two women standing next to me. I actually knew one, never seen the other before. I wondered if anyone could hear all the noise coming from my apartment. The problem is now I'm having a fit wondering if someone will say something about me when MY girl friend is around. How much gossiping and commenting do the Chinese do? I think I'm screwed. Maybe I'll move tomorrow, crap, poop, stupid a** me, SWAT SWAT MFDA

Ted, gossip in China, both by males and females, is close to a national recreational activity since they really do not trust each other enough to talk about more pressing and important issues.  And you and me, being "different", are safe bets to be targeted. So, put up with it by ignoring it, because if you move, on the new building will happen again.

 

In regards to "noises" from your apartment, according to my GF, most Chinese men over 50 years of age loose gradually their sex drive.  She has told me many times she was concerned about my ability to perform until she tried it out.   So, you either become a walking ad for the blue pill even if you do not need it, because that is the way their minds are programmed, or quit bringing other ladies into your apartment.  Or do as I do, I do as I please and to hell with gossip.  

LAR:

Happy,

          It's not only due to a lack of trust, but respect and manners as well. Oh, it's also due to STUPIDITY!

I know my GF says people think she is with me for money, so if I come up in gossip , I'll say they see me come in and there are women here that l don't know, but they think too much about what is not their business,,,,l save face.

LAR:

Yes, NOT their business because they are too NOSEY. They have nothing else better to do because they are SO LAZY!
