But not all men are like that. It's unfortunate that the nicer ones, due to having less bravado/macho attitude, tend to shy away from confidence and being overt. Next time you see a good looking guy, and catch him looking at you but looking away, chances are he's probably considerate :P

Doing what? You can still have a career and be in a romantic relationship.


Not in this country. We don't have time for romance.

We all settle down in our early 30's. Most of us anyway. Our 20's are dedicated to moving out of our parents' homes, getting a stable job and settling down independently. o/

Yeah Chinese culture (Thanks to Confucian way of thinking) puts men as the center of the family unit. That is why they can be total jerks.

Japan? Possibly similar.

Yeah, accepting for a moment that they are jerks (which I've definitely noticed a lot of them are), I doubt if that's why.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Well it's also largely tradition.

How would one of those work?

I just want a casual relationship. It's like a normal relationship, except far less clingy and mushy.

Chinese (at least mainland Chinese) tend to be very... Rude, in my experience. They are very "superior" in thinking. Chinese from Taiwan seem to be a lot more happy and kind.
Many Japanese, in my experience, aren't quite like mainland Chinese, but aren't as warm as Taiwanese people. They're in between. Friendly, but still not as open.

Then you have us. Smiling in public is frowned upon. If you don't walk fast enough expect to be elbowed by 80 year old grandmas. If you don't understand Korean etiquette for chopsticks don't eat with chopsticks unless you want to have dirty looks. Etc. :P
