This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It really depends on the country. Anecdotally Chinanese girls from deeeeep mainland China are materialistic. They sorta can be since there are so few young girls in China so they can be picky.

Girls from Taiwan, Philippines ,Japan, Vietnam, Thailand are not like that.

IDK, I'm dating a girl from mainland and she isn't very materialistic I don't think.

I don't think you can really generalize based off race/location. American culture lends itself to being extremely materialistic, but plenty of people from the US find it disgusting.

It's entitled rich people. It's always entitled rich people. They're the same everywhere.

Fair enough. And as mentioned elsewhere in this thread a lot of Westerners' exposure to mainlanders would be international students who are already going to be selected from the wealthier Chinese people.
