haha! i liked your style... but isn't that a little bias? what's the difference between gf and soulmate anyway?? i think it's the same.. why else is the point to date?

firstly, i'm english ed, but ever since i entered local university, i've spoken more Chinese than English on a daily basis....i can't agree with you... i have chinese ad friends who could talk NON-STOP.... and not at all shy!! i wonder where the stereotype comes from.. english ed people used complex english as chinese ed uses complex chinese language.. and i have chinese ed friends who cursed in a day more than i do in my entire lifetime! so ya, i think it's very individual.... but basically, for me,... bad english is a TOTAL turn off.... and it sucks when we dont share the same sense of humour.... and i love poety like a lot... then again, it's individual.... i am sure others would find my bad chinese terrible too... so ya... it's a fair game....

I hate to be called banana... i find it an excuse to segregrate people, even judge.... why are there terms like banana and coconut?? and what do you call chinese ed ppl then? orange or pineapple?? please stop calling eng ad ppl banana... my chinese friends would stare at me like an alien, and in comment: 'So, you are banana ka?'
... oh puh-lizzz.......... and i never judge your poor english....

I don't know about you guys, but I've read and been following the topic of Chinese ed vs English ed gfand have found it very interesting. Then there was another topic back awhile ago about whether language was a barrier between the mediums, etc etc but I can't remember the links (neither did I bookmark them)

To summarize...

Chinese ed stereotype:
-Quiet (and usually studious)
-Not much to say to guys outside the topic of studies or other mundane stuff and very short responses (ie, "how was your day?" -> "fine")
-Need to be straightforward and direct when speaking to them
-Shy

English ed stereotype:
-Talkative (as in easy to have a conversation with)
-Open minded and actions (although sometimes bordering what people call 'slutty')
-Tend to comprehend complex english - like sacarsm, poem hidden meanings, etc
-Okay with using curse words more frequently than their CE counterpart (girls)

Also, I notice that in a situation where a guy who likes a chinese-ed girl confesses to her, but she doesn't like him back, the girl will then tend to try to avoid and ignore that guy as much as possible. In the case of an english-ed girl, the guy and her would most likely just remain friends even if she doesn't share his feelings. Chinese-ed girls also would not be caught dead walking as a pair, side-by-side with another guy unless they are official already (bf-gf) while english-ed girls seem to be okay walking like that with their normal guy friends and classmates

It's even more difficult when you're trying to "cross-attract", like english-ed guy going for chinese-ed girl and vice versa. English-ed guy would probably be too talkative for the chinese-ed girl and the chinese ed guy would probably be too boring for the english-ed girl.

Before somebody starts flaming or shouting troll (hopefully not), remember I'm talking about stereotypes, hard-core. I'm not talking about those 'diluted' chinese ed or english ed who have mixed with the other type until the point where they have become 'less chinese ed' or 'less english ed'

So what does a guy got to do to attract a girl of the opposite education medium? Like how can an english-ed guy try to get a chinese-ed girl when she doesn't really talk that much and is not that responsive (see short response under chinese-ed stereotype above)?

When somebody starts a topic like this in Cupid's Corner, they are ""new"" to the forum for obvious reasons 

Gf = Girlfren
Soulmate = Wife

Your wife is who u choose to spend ur life with (disregard her looks).
Your gf is who u go out with (pretty & young most of the time)

So there u go LoL....
Don't take this seriously tho.... it's a bad guy's joke

I am just like you...termed "Banana" because I was English educated and can't read and write Chinese. However, I my spoken chinese can be better than my friends'. Hey, Chinese is Chinese...who in the world give them the right to call those who are English educated "banana"? Why are you mocking your own race when the West is already mocking you?
I for one am sick of people who are aping the west (English or Chinese educated). Be proud of your own culture, like it or hate it, that's you! People who are not appreciative of their culture does not have an identity. At the same time, those of you who are die hard chinese educated...Please open mine to absorb more ideas. Tailor what you absorbed and only assimilate the good points...That will make you a better person. I rest my case
Eng ed or Chinese ed...we come from the same root...it is certainly the mentallity is different. I can't help but agree, English educated girls will be more priviliged in the knowledge faculty if they choose to read more...there are more self-help books which can increase your knowledge.
Through experience, Chinese educated guys will not be able to tolerate girls who are more knowledgeable than them. They somehow prefer "Damsel in distress"! Well that's only from experience.

English Ed girls' beauty and Chinese Ed girls' beauty is different...
You'll never find an english ed girl that looks like THIS !!!



I unfortunately am more attracted to the taiwan look...

so what is the length of ur d*** now ...2 in ??

woo sounds interesting to me.
i like the mixture of chinese ed and english ed guy. if found = perfect.

how to mix? it's either one...

hmm i hope he's open minded, and at the same time holding some conservative thinking towards something too.

ooo.. u mean that... but the thing is, not all eng ed are open-minded and not all chinese ed are conservative... it's just a general asumption...
but how do u define open minded and conservative? i think it's all very individual

If I may interject. Most comments are based on general observations. There will always be unique cases. It's just tiresome to have to begin every sentence with, "Generally speaking...". There is also often no smoke without fire. I think the term "general observation" would best suit this.

what's the difference, general assumption and general observation....
i really dont see your point
