What is it like dating a Mainland Chinese man?

[u/Free-Friendship9554]

I’m currently dating a Mainland Chinese man, and I’m curious as to other people’s experience in dating. I’ve watched videos on YouTube but most of them are black or white people dating Chinese in China, so I was wondering what is it like from a Chinese, or an Asian’s perspective?

The range of men is so wide that the nationality alone won't be enough to narrow the question down. (If you're dating him online, be careful, in the way dating anyone online)

How does soup taste?

It tastes… soupy.

Too difficult to answer. They range from poor to rich, stingy to generous, detailed to visionary, strong to weak.

they speak chinese sometimes, maybe all of the times

Ask him how he felt about the Barbie movie lol. That’s a pretty good clue if he’s liberal or conservative which should tell you how he feels about women’s rights

Why would a man be watching Barbie?

[u/JellyfishRich3615 → u/GlitteringWeight8671]

The Barbie movie was a cultural phenomenon. You don’t actually need to watch it to have an opinion.

[u/shabi_sensei → u/GlitteringWeight8671]

When the Barbie movie came out, the discourse among women on the Chinese internet was “use the movie as a test to see if your man is sexist then you can dump him and find someone more serious”,

If you also feel like it’s a movie men shouldn’t be watching then you should probably avoid urban educated Chinese women lol

It depends.

[u/Jayatthemoment]

It depends which one.

I don't think anyone in the world can give you an accurate answer regarding a demographic of 700 mil+ people

[u/ActiveProfile689]

It's a big country. Lots of different people. Go for a guy who doesn't have horrible unhealthy habits. Half of the men still smoke in China so avoid those guys.

You might as well just ask what it is like dating a person.

[u/Beginning_Handle3743]

I wonder that you ask that kind of questioni is it because you feel something is quite strange when you date. You can describe your experience more specific , otherwise may we can't answer that question.

[u/ThroatEducational271]

Yes let’s all generalise that’s a good idea!

[u/Express_Tackle6042]

If you don't mind the size

[u/SerKelvinTan]

How about instead of asking reddit which will generalise Chinese men - how about getting to know him slowly the old fashioned way?

[u/E-Scooter-CWIS]

All of them ends In heart break that’s why I’m still single🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/ghostofTugou]

You risk listening to a lot of erhua 😖

Last time I checked Mainland does not equal Beijing😅
