Apparently its like shooting fish in a barrel?Madder than a box of frogs, the lot of 'em.
OP if you are really serious about finding someone and don't want to take your chances then you need to find a proper dating website that actually tries to match couples rather than shags that might go somewhere.
A good friend of mine met his wife on one of these. No trouble finding girls to share his bed but wasn't meeting like minded people who he would have been interested in a relationship with.
He signed up to one of the more through sites and 6 years on they have just had their second child.
On the other hand I met my Mrs on a spin off site from here that only lasted a short time. Didn't really 'notice' her posts until one day someone was being a bit OTT and nasty to her and she PM'd me to see what my take on it was (I was posting on the same topic and with the same argument as her) and if I thought they were out of line or if she should just suck it up. One thing leads to another and we've been together nearly 10 years now...

I'm guessing here but OP- do you think being Chinese means they'll have lesser standards when it comes to selecting a fella or something?
Also- they can fight/argue sometimes much more than a 'white woman'.
Casual racism is alive and well on PH.
To be fair Hora I see more stereotype of more submissive and demure than western women and much less chance of finding his lady outside a nightclub on the kerb, legs akimbo with her foofoo flapping in the breeze, as she ejects the last 2 pints of tart fuel from her mouth before asking if he can give her a hand to Shakeys for a kebab meat and chips.Also- they can fight/argue sometimes much more than a 'white woman'.

Either way it seems to me that OP's thoughts are based more on innocence, inexperience and stereotype than casual racism.

That bloody Telegraph article. We're Mumsnet for blokes now, didn't you know?
We need that relationship section pronto. Things are getting worse not better - The Lounge is turning into one big Match.com thread. OP.
Got to the gym lots
Eat well
Dress well
Sort life out so that it could be considered attractive to a girl
Get out of your comfort zone and go to a few bars, talk to lots of girls and get them drunk (remember it's a numbers game)
Get one back to your place
Keep her there
Put ring on her finger
Post again in the Lounge when it all goes wrong and you lose your house, only get to see your kids on weekends and she is magically seeing someone else 2 weeks later...

I'd say it's more imperialism than casual racism. You could replace "Chinese" for any poor country where young women are so poor and desperate to try and escape the poverty trap that they will even go as far as lowering themselves to go with the sort of bloke that needs to do that, in order to try and get a step up in life.Also- they can fight/argue sometimes much more than a 'white woman'.

Proper romance and it never fails to amaze me how much boasting the type of men that abuse this situation tend to do, as though they are some kind of sex god

Indeed. A colleague of mine from Canada drops some reference to 'being with a lady' into pretty much every sentence he comes out with. Doesn't mention that he's paying them funnily enough yes mate I'm super impressed that you can get laid by the numerous women you're paying...Proper romance and it never fails to amaze me how much boasting the type of men that abuse this situation tend to do, as though they are some kind of sex god
