by LONNIE HODGE  I was startled a few weeks ago when on of the staff directors here asked why foreigners seem to be attracted by the Chinese women natives find unappealing. I told him he should consider it a blessing. Lots of men look Eastward to find new relationships. They frequent dating sites for a number of reasons: some good, some bad. The women who frequent the Chinese dating services and chat lines are, by and large, good women in search of an honest and lasting relationship. Most of them are divorced and that puts you on the social outs in many Chinese societal circles. It is like America was not so many years ago. Unlike some countries, the women here are not looking to sleep their way to a visa to America. They come from proud families and are deeply rooted in their regional cultures. That does not mean that they will not move for the right relationship or promise of a caring life together with a special someone. Following are some general guidelines, concerns and comments on online love searches. My next post will list services and their ratings by friends and associates that have found their soul mates via the Internet. Most Chinese make about $8--$200 U.S. dollars a month. Life is short of frills for many of the women on the net BUT: Don't send any money unless you have been here to visit or unless you have enough knowledge to discern the truth of a request. There are scammers on the net albeit a lot less in China than other developing countries. Come here and meet the lady for which you are falling into cyberspace. The worst you will get is a great vacation. NEVER send money for a plane ticket unless you have verified that your beloved has a visa in hand. It is a long and winding road to a visa, even a fiance' visa, now that Homeland Insecurity is involved. Be in this quest for the long haul. Be sensitive about age and cultural difference: If you are older and your love link is as well, you will find that she may not know much about Western culture. Many women, during the years following the Cultural Revolution, had little contact with the West. Now, if you can sing a few Russian songs (they helped build much of China's infrastructure when the going was good for Russia and tough-er for China) you are in like Flint! You will find far more acceptance for your Western self here than in some Asian countries. China, unlike Japan for example, does not have nearly as much ethnocentric hatred of foreigners. Families here will embrace you and it is a common myth (?) that Chinese women and Western men make beautiful offspring. In Japan they will tell you that, pretty or not, your child is still a half-breed. And men: I have found foreigners to be quite, um, lazy about learning the culture...They rely on the woman to do all the work in bridging the cultural divide. Learn about it. Learn a FEW words in her native tongue and don't expect her to have an easy time of adapting. Cultural immersion is fraught with peril but, can be overcome. More tomorrow. Feel free to ask qustions. I will not post your comments but, I WILL answer your queries.
