Q: Is it a curse to be a tall woman in China?

Why does everyone here want to be the same height? I hear sooo many girls complaining here, either because they're too small or, more commonly, too tall.

 

Think about it: when was the last time you saw a Chinese girl holding hands with a man shorter than her?

Maybe you have not seen my GF and me.  She is 173 cms tall, and still all of her shoes and boots have high heel.  So, with my almost 180 cms of height, I am many times less than an inch smaller than her when we walk side by side holding hands.  

And she also gets many compliments from total strangers because of her height and beauty (She is 34-20-33).  It is my impression that Chinese men do like tall Ladies, but honestly do not know about the short ones.  And from comments heard from Chinese females, they all seem to envy real tall girls.   But maybe that is only in my limited environment.

As for me, I dont have any problem with tall girls. However, most will not go out with guys who are shorter than they are.

The only two times I dated a girl taller than me: One was from Belgium and the other was from Kenya.

I think its worse to be too short. I usually like shorter and thin. My girl friend is the shortest I've ever had and the thinnest, but she still only 12,, kidding about the age only, try x3. I have met 2 women about 6' 8'' at home and just swooned, those legs just went on forever. Of course they get boy friends 5' 2'' about as tall as her legs.

I am nearly 200cm tall and I always get small GF (about 165cm or smaller)... Why? The tall ones don`t seem to like me, on the contrary, my best Chinese friend has model GF, always taller then him... Strange... I wanted a tall one, but how? Now I`m tired looking...  Their thinking is strange... Oh well, as long as everyone happy it`s OK.

I lived in Dalian for a while and a lot of the girls there are very tall (180+).  And all the ones I talked to said they could never date a guy who was shorter than they were when wearing 6-10cm heels.

 

And in general, most of the girls I talked to would not even consider a guy who was too short ( >150), even if they were shorter than them.  For me, I have dated girls from 4'11 to 6'6" and had no problems with their height.  (Though the 4'11" one had a really painful habit of biting during sex.  Ouch.)

Don't you know? It's always greener on the other side. The short girls want to be tall, the stick shaped girls want curves, and we're always complaining about it, whether we're from China, America, or any other country.

I thought it over and I do think it is, it takes too long for the blood to reach their brain.

I used to think being short was a curse, but the upside is that even most of the short guys are taller than me.  A bonus for being in China is that I'm now average height for a woman. I'm only 5'2".

Chinese girls will complain  about anything Lanna, no money, no car, no prada, no old rich man, appearance, weight, height, color too dark, too light, cleaning, working, other women the list just compiles.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
