Let's not kid ourselves with those moral standards and righteousness bullsh#t, the harsh realities is guys (handsome or otherwise) with lots of $$$ will stand a better chance in dating gorgeous Chinese women. Gorgeous Chinese women need some assurance of financial support, in case of hardship in the future. Living in the new millenium requires more than just good old fashion love .... whilst westerners try to preech their righteous double standard bullshit, the divorce rates are much higher in those countries than in China ..... damn if you do, damn if you don't.
What is wrong with paying for a group of friends just for good company?. In Chinese society, it's customary to pay for guests when you invite them to dinner (no matter how cheap or expensive the meal may be), whether it be for dating, business or just hanging out with friends.
When you date a Chinese girl, don’t expect sexual favours in return, just because you bought her dinner(s) …. She will decide if she likes you, then maybe, just maybe she’ll take you home with her. Geez, I thought this is how things are done in western society also ….
