umm trying to lure someone into marriage with expensive gifts and promise that her parents will buy them an apartment is exactly being materialistic?

Shit mate, now I don't know if that's the joke, and we're being played OR some other shit my simple ass can't even begin to wrap around my grape.
I considered that a possibility but the title didn't suggest that. If so, it's too subtle for me...
Yes but not a gold digger, which is the only type of bad materialistic to braindead people
Yes Greentexts in dark mode. Yes my happy eyes.
TBF if you meet an Asian Girl in Uni in the USA then statistically they are more likely to be of a wealthier upbringing than like 90% of Americans.
How does that work?
Could you afford to move to Tokyo for 4 years of university? It's expensive and requires wealthy parents to go to school abroad like that.
Not to mention that most colleges/universities charge international students more than domestic. Many Asian students attend university in the UK purely for prestige, and many of them fork out enough money for managed accommodation that it's become a huge business in itself.
I’ll go ahead and be that guy…
Some asians in the US were born here, to working class asian parents.
That's what I was confused about. Like, how can you tell someones money by their race. It had the same energy as "they look mexican, they must be illegals" to me.
They have to pay to come here
who said buying material goods for 3k was materialistic, smh...
Yeah, 4chan has always hated fetishizing Asian women.
Yeah, 4chan has always hated fetishizing ~~Asian~~ women.

Anon met a rich girl. Which makes sense because they are the ones who can actually afford to travel!
$3k in just clothes as a gift? Nah, she don't need a sugar daddy because her real daddy won Squid Game.
More likely runs it than won it.
Fucked up economy that we live in when we can't buy a home without parent's help anymore.
Who the hell ever said this crap?
Because there is a kernel of truth in it. Mainland Chinese are materialistic as hell.
Literally everyone who dated a mainlander.
Never heard of this stereotype. But I dont listen to Stereotypes anyways. All bullshit.
Stereotypes being bullshit is a stereotype? Wait that sounds stupid nevermind
u just fucked my brain
Ever seen "Crazy Rich Asians"?
no
People who travel to Pattaya for a "good time".
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.
Countries have a mixed bag of people. Some people only care about money, some want to make the world a better place, some are only interested in making a living and raising a family. Human behavior doesn't change from country to to country, ethnicity, or religion, or even historical period. The only thing that changes are the outlets available to reach thise goals. Ancient Egyptians, Roman citizens, Arab nomads, Mongolian shepards, Aztec farmers, Appalachian coal miners, and some future Martian terra former all want to make sure their needs are met.

Oye! Don't forget Beltalowda!
Beratna!
Yah, Bossman!
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.
Sounds like your girlfriend might be studying here with a student visa or born here. Typically those girls come from very rich families and their concern is not "How do I use my daughter to make some money" instead, they are more focused on the child's needs.
When I say DEEP China. I'm talking about girls that is middle class and below in China.
I have friends that had to give a million rmb to her family to marry a girl. And do some fucked up shit during the ceremony, like drink foot water.
Yeah she's a PhD student and her parents both had (what I assume would be) good paying careers. That being said, Chinese people are still humans and can have an entire range of experiences and outlooks, regardless of class. But you're right that certain ideas are more culturally ingrained.
Ya, for sure they are elite. Plenty of doctors want to come to America and have zero change. You're basically dating a 1%er of China. Don't fuck it up.
Tbf the amount of 1%ers in China is like a third of my whole country's population.
And do some fucked up shit during the ceremony, like drink foot water.
Go on...
There are these "games" that they make the groom play. Most of which involves giving money to the family.
Like, doing 100 pushups and if you can't you pay. Or drinking water that was used to wash your brides' feet or give money. Most of the other ones are mild like do a sexy dance on a guy friend.
Watch me suck his dick too, Daddy
World would suck without Asians (both genders, in case that wasn't clear)
