I added a category “Personal” as you might have noticed from the post below:) So, why not adding some more ‘interesting’ stuff that might reveal some about my being?! Just a note for the ones who read for fun… Personal stuff isn’t always fun!
First of all, with the title of this post I do not pretend to know something about women in Asian cultures, or if it matters to you, I do not pretend to know something about women at all actually! (As we all know the classic story from John Gray – Men are from Mars and women are from Venus) But instead I will just share some of my experiences with you about women in Asian cultures :)
Interesting enough I have the pleasure of living among Asian people and having some good friends in this society as well. I did not choose for this, but do not care about it too much either. Ethnical groups growing up in a different surrounding than their home country make them a little conservative sometime. In that way, they tend to stick to their own culture and living by the rules of the tradition – not realizing themselves that the same tradition in their home country actually does adopt to the western life standards faster than it does here! It is said that it is not always easy to live between two cultures. In one way they want to respect your parents and live by their tradition, but on the other hand, their parents have chosen to raise their children in another society, so adopting to the new standards seems inevitable. This results in a continuous dilemma for the children of pleasing the parents (or culture and society) or choose for yourself. Making this choice more easy on themselves, is to choose for a fellow bi-cultural person. Not just because of their character, but mainly because of their ethnical and social background.
And here I stand, with this knowledge and in this perspective I have to find my woman. Living among Asian people makes it very realistic to feel attracted to them as well. But I have only one disadvantage, I have another ethnical and social background as my fellow competitors. And as you can read from my previous post, I do not use the checklist system, so instincts is all I use. And after five years, I can tell it does not work if one of the parties is using the checklist system and the other one is not. Quite frustrating… but hey I am not a quitter! So I will continue dedicating myself on the inpossible mission: making this world a global one where ethnical background is of no interest! (All this of course in order to find the woman of my dreams ;)
