sometimes, being chinese is "different". i dont understand my peeps.

[vash]

a few weeks ago, i went to a good friend's wedding banquet. i met a complete hottie. even my wife thought she was hot. very nice, and hot. backless dress..nevermind. banquet is a chinese event.

anyways, my bro in law, i see him checking her out. i deemed myself his wingman. the hottie is part of my friend's wedding party, so chinese custom, they collectively go from table to table, toasting, and thanking them for attending. i hear her say, "hey, my wine glass is running empty!"...i stick a bottle into BIL's hands, and whisper, "hey dumbass, fill her glass up ASAP!" he does, and they chat later. that simple wine refill made BIL stand out in a crowd! i am about to pull some wingman magic..but i decided to check 1st with friend about her status..he says, "no way, her dad says she cannot date anyone but an accountant". get the eff out! and the daughter is obediently complying!!! the chick needs to marry an accountant! and she is ok with it.

i dont get chinese people. i dont want to pry and find out why does the family need a number cruncher...tax evasion?

how long will a tax degree take me? heheh.

Not that long, but you will be paying your wife for a long, long time.

I can pretend to be an accountant.

at a dinner a couple of years ago a guy I know was talking about his daughter and also how it had been a struggle for him to modernize... then he mentioned that he considered his daughter just as good as a son -- high praise from some one not fully modernized & she was half-amused; half-mortified...

Seems all my daughters friends are Asian. She has a Chinese friend, Christie, who is a complete dynamo. High School senior. She's smart. Excellent student with a HUGE personality. She really lights up a room.

She could go to college anywhere with her 4.3 GPA but her parents insist that she go to University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA to become a pharmacist! I'm not kidding! This girls personality is poorly suited for that type of work. She's a people person. She has done extensive work at a local hospital pharmacy and HATES the work, yet she is dutiful and will honor her parents demands without complaint.

What the hell?

[m21sniper]

4.3 gpa? Is that like a volume knob that goes to 11?

[Rick Lee]

My GF in high school was one of four Korean kids adopted by a white couple. Her dad told her she had to go to Notre Dame and, if she got in there, he'd not pay for her to go anywhere else. She got in, but told her folks she got rejected, ended up paying her own way through Rutgers and working at her white sister's bank in our podunk hometown.

Vash, I think you're supposed to use bai jiu for those toasts. I was told wine was ok for me, since I'd be smashed after the second table if I used bai jiu, which I hate anyway.

kinda - or like a turbocharger...

it's based on using the A+ in the scale

[m21sniper]

An A+ was a 100 when i went to school. We didn't even have this 4.0 bidness, just 0-100 and a corresponding letter.

Clearly the system was outdated and needed revamping....LOL

Anyway, sorry for the hijack. I now return you to your brainwashed chinese hottie and her quest to marry an accountant.

[Rick Lee]

Oh, and we need photos NOW!

[gprsh924]

That took entirely too long

[futuresoptions]

Sounds like there is going to be one lucky accountant out there somewhere....

[BeyGon]

I'm not an accountant but I stayed in a Holiday Inn once, does that count?

[alf]

I never let 'my daddy says' stop me from trying Your friend might also be trying to keep BIL out of the game.

Oh and (as with any culture) get in good with parents if BIL wants to take this farther.

[HardDrive]

Nuprin.

Little. Yellow. Different.

[mikester]

pics or ban!

[ckissick]

Tradition! It didn't stop Tevye's daughters.

[serge944]

I'm going to plead cultural ignorance - that is retarded.

To add to the insanity, in Chinese personals, they'll go as far as putting physical specs, "I want a wealthy man of 180cm, 76kg..." They are hilarious to read.

[m21sniper]

I guess because there are so damn many of them they can afford to be extra picky. LOL!

[M.D. Holloway]

Wow, a girl that actually listens to her parents! She ain't American. Granted the folks are way over the top.

Then again, she could have said that to him to soften the objection - maybe she wasn't into him and used that as an excuse.
