Q: Why do Chinese men ask if we like Chinese women, then...
give us angry looks or make racist remarks when we tell them that yes we like them.
If it makes them angry why do they keep asking foreign men about this? Calling us white/black devils or thieves and telling us to GTFO after we told them that we like Chinese ladies won't change anything.
Yeah that's usually a stupid question asked by a dumbass.
I haven't gotten that in years but for me the answer was "no, i really don't have much interest in chinese women" and then it's like "oh so they're not good enough for you???"
I think the only answer that the type of idiot who asks that wants to hear is "yes but they are not interested in me"
Robk:
I agree. Chinese ask a lot of no-win stupid questions. Here are a few:
- How much money do you make?
If low, you suck... if high.. they get pissed cause you stole "their" high paying jobs...
- Do you like China?
- If you say you do, they think you are lying and sucking up... if you say you don't they think you are a jerk and should GTFO of China.
- Can you use chopsticks?
If yes, they patronize you like you discovered fire... if not they think you hate Chinese food and should again GTFO.
Chinese use these questions to try and trap foreigners with a hidden agenda... that's how they always work... best to just immediately change the topic or walk away cause you can't win anyway lol right?

Yeah the salary thing perfect example. Too low means your a loser as a foreigner though still possibly higher than them. Too high yeah like its not fair you make that in china. As if they would be next in line for your job if you left. Havent heard either in while though, fortunately
I tell them, I came to China and became English teacher, because of the girl! From Anshan, Liaoning.
I rarely worry for 'consequences', after I answer the Q, as 'you asked first, and I just answered it'.
You should't ask me
to achieve 'your eternal happiness'.

I usually don't do small chat with Chinese, I tell them to stay focused on whatever they're doing. They have nothing interesting to say and no personality to back up their vacuity, so better stick to the essential. Cashier, cash in. Driver, drive in.
As a result I haven't answered this kind of platitude in a while.
expatlife26:
yeah i'm the same way. I don't feel any obligation to chat with anyone I don't know who isn't going to say anything. I have my friends in my personal life and my workmates at the office and I like it that way.
I enjoy making people uncomfortable, so half of the time i respond with sonething along the lines of "not really, but the men are yummy." Stops them dead in thier tracks every time.
I actually never get that question as I usually have answered the preceding "Why are you in China" with "My wife is from here". But when I say I live in Zhuhai many say "ah so many pretty girls in Zhuhai <nudge><nudge>" and true as it may be, being accused of being an adulterer puts me at the angry end of the stick
RiriRiri:
You shouldn't take it personally. It's just that your conversation is on a railroad and your answers don't matter for the slightest bit.
ScotsAlan:
I have never been asked it either.
But I have been asked why foreigners get married to ugly Chinese women !!!!
Burak43:
@ScotsAlan, I assume it goes something like this: Asks why foreigners marry ugly women, then goes home and wonders why he can't get a girlfriend.
I know this question was posted ages ago but I can't help but throw my answer in:
"If you preheat the oven just right, they're delicious!"
