When you’ve finally plucked up the courage to get on a dating site, the guarantee to meet the person of your dreams who thinks you’re Johnny Depp because you thought posting a photo of him (or Chinese equivalent, namely my all-time hero Chow Sing Chi) would attract more people to your profile, DON’T write:
“I live with my wife and love her very, very much. But she doesn’t love me anymore. In fact she’s been having an affair for ten years. She completely ignores me. But I love her so much. Anyway, I thought I’d try this …”
In fact, if you’re married, don’t be on a dating site for people looking for real relationships at all? Just a thought. Call me old-fashioned but I like a man who can, oh I don’t know, maybe spend the night a couple of times a year, be seen in public with me, at least in the dark … that kind of thing.
Telling prospective dates that you are married with children actually seems to attract women in Hong Kong, both married and unmarried.
Or is it just me?
Ciao!
dream on,ah-sin…..
You’re getting a bit too demanding now, I fear.
Yes I know. I should have written ONCE a year.
Chris, what do you mean, exactly?
Nudeolf, yes, the married man is like a Red Bull in the mating season (these metaphors are getting better I must say) to some women, ok, all.
But only because you say that your wife DOESN’T UNDERSTAND YOU. Not, I wager, if you can’t stop talking about how you love your wife? Or maybe I’m wrong.
Yeah it’s just me.
It’s not you, it’s me! I’m just at a place in my life right now where I need some space!
I have a boss! Deadline! Psychosis!
Have I left any cliches out?
Anyway, I must be a weirdigan because I didn’t answer the call of the wild from that wife-loving guy. He was also deaf… but that’s neither here nor there. Not really.
Ceci, I do love my wife and she does love me and we understand each other.
What I was trying to say in earlier comments was that there is something with Hong Kong (I know, I have lived here for more than two decades) where marriage, kids, etc. doesn’t seem to be an issue for most local girls chasing men (not necessarily gwailos).
In my list of (very few) principles, if a guy is married with children, he can go out and enjoy nights out with friends. But he cannot and should not start another serious relationship with any other woman. Though, opportunities keep arising everyday!
Not trying to be biblical here, but love and trust are most needed when one grows old and beyond 50, the age I almost happen to be.
Ciao!
I’ve got a couple dating tips for the ladies out there. Wanna hook a guy? Here’s Dar’s Tips To Being Swamped With Dudes. (Warning: These are all opinions based on a male’s perspective. You may have differing opinions, but I’ve found them to be solid. This is also for women who are looking to find a guy.)
1.) Don’t play head games with a guy. We’re rather stupid. We don’t pick up signals that women think are obvious. You like a guy? For the love of God, be forward about it. We spend so much time making advances and have none really come to us normally. If you don’t want to be forward, at least give us hints that no one could miss. Like a brick wall at 80 MPH.
2.) This goes for just about every woman out there, but it most definately relates to asian women: If you are young, long hair looks better on you than short hair. I have this philosphy that short hair is normally for women that have reached a certain age, who may already be taken or no long have the time for upkeep. But, if you are wanting to snag a man, long hair helps. A woman who is a 6 to a man with short hair automatically gets bumped up to an 8 with long hair. We do not want to date men or women who have boys haircuts, we want to date women. And most of the time, this involves having a lot of hair for us to fawn over. Longer the better. If you could theorhetically wipe your own ass with your hair, you’ve hit the sweet spot.
3.) Smell nice. If you want to catch a guy’s attention as you walk by, then you should definately smell nice. If you smell like a stripper, even better. You know the smell. That soft, powdery smell. Doesn’t have to be that one, could just be purfume. But, man. Strippers smell nice.
4.) Dress to impress at all times. You don’t need to wear a 2 thousand dollar gown to Starbucks, but put some thought into your outfit. This is something that men should take note of too. If you look like you just woke up from a 8 hour drinking binge (and smell the same) then you are not gonna get much play. And you never really know when you may meet someone lovely. Bars and clubs are not places you normally find a long lasting relationship in.
Now you may of course debate some of these tips. You may think it sexist. But, this is geared towards women who are actively seeking the love of a fine young man. And not just till the sun comes up.
Man, do I love Dariath’s comments?
It’s like I am sharing my mind with him.
He is absolutely right about the hair and smell.
Take this straight, once and for all – Women with short boy cut hair look like they are the male role in a lesbo relationship.
If their hair is long enough to wipe their ass, they automatically become sexy.
All right, delete this comment if you think it’s way too much. But hey, appreciate the tips. All right?
Ciao!
I find toilet paper, in most cases, to be more hygienic. How do you combine the “smell good” and “wipe their arses with their (own?) hair”?
One of many conondrums in the unbreachable abyss between men and women…
Darester, I appreciate your tips. However about point one.
I’ve read, heard and seen that men like to chase women down, pursue them, work hard to conquer them etc. How do you combine that with us being open about liking you?
Wiping your ass with your own hair thingy was supposed to be rhetorical (Both in Dariath’s and my comments).
But even if you want to practically do it, you could wipe said parts with your own hair and then use a good shampoo and conditioner and wash your hair. That would make you smell nice.
Simple enough. Yes? Or are you still confused?
Really, there is a chasm between men and women and their thoughts. No?
Ciao!
Oh, RHETORICAL!!! Now I get it.
Some of the things I write are supposed to be IRONIC, HUMOROUS.
Are you secretly Emma? Or indeed Jimsee?
Yes wipe and shampoo – two birds with one stone! Damn why didn’t I think of that.
We are having fun with these comments. No?
Ironic, humorous? Hey, why didn’t you say that before? I thought you were serious. No?
Emma? Jimsee? I do remember about the stillborn children my mother had before I was born. But never got to see them, ya know? Me being the (supposedly) only child and stuff.
They still around?
Ciao!
Anyone who says men love chasing women reads too much askmen.com. We don’t like it. it’s a pain in our asses. If a woman came up to us, said, “Hey, I think you’re attractive and want to see if there is any brain in that handsome head.”, we would love you that instant.
We are very simple creatures. We’re hungry? We eat. We’re bored? We play a game or do something. We want a girlfriend? We want it to be as simply as possible. We don’t live for the thrill of the chase. If women could parade infront of us like In The Brothal (Episode of RHTK), then we’d consider it the closest thing to dating perfection as we could find. “I’ll take that one.”
And another thing women should know. The first time we look at you, we want to see you naked. That does not mean we are in it for sex. It’s just where our mind goes for the first thought. Sex and relationship sorta blends together for us. But, make sure that you don’t put out on the first date. That makes us wonder how many men you’ve been with if it’s that easy. That’s not a “chase” thing. That’s a, “I’m sleeping with a woman who puts out for a 10 dollar steak meal at Applebees. BEWARE!
AND ONE MORE THING! Why do women where extremely low cut tops and then get mad at us for looking? We don’t wear tight leather pants and get mad at a woman checkin out our ass. Infact, we’d prolly go, “I know. It’s nice. Take as long as you want. Soak it in.”
If you are gonna dress skimpily, that says one thing to a guy: “I know I am in great shape, and I want to show it off.” Of course, we always have the good ol’ “I was reading your shirt.” to fall back on, if we’re caught. Even still. Don’t show off a buffet and not expect us to salivate over dinner.
I see. How about the second night? I haven’t got all the time in the world you know.
I’d say third or fourth date if it’s weekly. But, if you wanna do secon night just add in a, “I’m normally not like this. But you’re just so manly, I can’t help myself.”
Okay, so maybe that line sucks out loud. But, you get the jist.
You have to remember this is building a relationship work. if you want a quick shag, all this goes out the window.
See? What I said?
Dariath and I were born together, separated at birth (different mothers) and still share the same mind.
What more can I say?
Ciao!
Selective honesty … lol
I always advise people to paint a picture of your best self WITHOUT telling a lie. Leaving something like a wife and kids out of your profile is a nono!
Who is this Dariath and does he have a blog?
I’m sure hell be happy to be read by you – just make sure you can metaphorically sit on your arse! Sorry, wipe your arse with your feet! Sorry, I’ll say that again, with your hair.
Oh, I always get these body parts mixed up.
Hey, I too said women’s hair reaching their ass (or beyond) was supposed to be sexy.
Would love to read Dariath’s blog. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be one.
Ciao!
PS: I once secretly gave contraceptive pills (everyday for 28 days) to a friend of mine in his nightly drinks. Sadly, his hair didn’t reach his ass. I was simply experimenting with effects of female hormones administered to males.
Hm…. There is something profound here which I still can’t work out. But so far let me just conclude that Ms dee loves Dariath, and not you, so deal with it?
Oh yeah, how come you could administer a man’s “nightly drink” (hot milk?) for 28 days in a row? Did you live in the same … room? How long was his hair?
Were you on a space mission?
Damn! Never thought of that. I would be scared if Ms Dee loved me. No need. Thankee Very Muchee.
As for your other question about nightly drinks, may I risk linking my other (risque) blog where you can read about it?
Here: Estrogen Report.
Have fun.
Ciao!
No need to be scared Nude King. I would be scared too if I fall for you! Uh-uh wouldn’t go for with anyone who has “nude” in their name — too telling!
Not in luv with Dariath either. Just wondering if there’s anymore of the wisdom of having-long-hair-to-wipe-your-ass-with. That really cracks me up! Ah Sin, you’re hilarious!
I think the wisdom is: Always carry a bottle of shampoo in case you encounter someone in front of whom you want to smell good.
Hey Ms. Dee. All right, so neither of us need to be scared of each other. I think I read your blog and will link to it at Nude King. Now wouldn’t that be an honor? As in, someone Nude linking! Ha ha.
Cec, now that’s a great idea – a bottle of shampoo. And hey, also remember to carry a thirty liter container full of water.
And the moment you encounter that some one, all you have to do is tell him, “Hey, wait a minute, I need to shampoo my hair now.”
Just pulling your legs, all right?
Ciao!
