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)?

So who the hell are you really?

i can't agree wif ur summary... cuz i met many types of gals and education is not really a factor of who u r... it's frenz, culture and influence...

If I told you then I would have to kill you

Love is blind, bro.... peace

if u have non constructive retarded comments, keep em to yourself.

to the TS, its obvious u are the latter, u are the english ed, chasing a chinese ed.

Before u go ahead on this, consider what you're getting yourself into. Can u spend the rest of your life with this girl? There IS a huge difference, as chinese ed girls tend to be much much more naive as well, a huge turn off for english ed guys. SOME, not all, go so far as to be shallow minded.

That said and done however, i believe i CAN advise u, since i've gone down this path before. (i regretted, but your ending may differ)

Firstly, chinese ed girls are much easier to please, they like guys who they can share secrets with, talk to easily, and talk to often! Thats the starting path to wind your way to their heart. Surprisingly, cliche expressions of love like flowers seem to do the trick as well.

Try to be more romantic, even if its cliche, like, suddenly calling to say u miss the person, so decided to drop by. say it jokingly. (usually doesnt work on english ed since they begin to feel stalked, while chinese ed tends to feel touched. stereotyping here)

control your foul language. its a bigger turn off for chinese ed girls compared to english ed.

Chinese ed girls also tend to be more easily swayed by material gifts compared to english ed. huge stereotyping here, they may deny it all they want, but everyone likes gifts. english ed will accept it with a note of thanks. chinese ed tends to flush and swoon a lil.

maybe i shud dedicate my blog to relationship advice lol

Well, I am not very sure about the previous thread or what
I glance through as what people comment about Chinese Ed and English Ed girls.

Basically I am a Chinese Ed girl, but I can speak good English and some times people mistake me that I am sort of ABC, perhaps it's due to the slang when I speak English. I am kind of open minded as well, I mix with guys all the time.

Both my ex are English ed, I had no problem with them at all even though in the end we broke up due to some problem, but when comes to communication I can't find any problem with it. In fact we could get along quite well at that moment. So am I Chinese Ed or English Ed?

I will never say Education that build someone's personality, but more towards the culture and thinking, of cause the people they mix with also very important.

i disagree....


lazy to elaborate today ^^;;;

lol, which means u arent exactly chinese ed already. i believe the chinese ed here is the REALLY REALLY chinese ed. Speaks broken or halting english, speaks mandarin/canto mostly. all the friends also speak canto/mandarin mostly.

Actually I am someone who is very into Chinese, planning to further my Chinese Literature in Taiwan. Was a freelance writer for Chinese Newspaper and magazine. I can speak pretty well Chinese, even Beijing slang is not a problem for me. In fact I don't think my Chinese is any worse than any "really" Chinese Ed people. To score an A in any exam for Chinese never a problem for me, I represent school for Chinese Literature competition as well. I speak Cantonese at home, Mandarin with some friends, of cause mixture with Cantonese. I do speak broken English as well. So am I not a Chinese Ed girl?

Seriously, why are we more free-willy on the profanities? Anyone who knows me can tell you how limited my vocabulary is.

And if I may say so, I do notice that there is a strata when it comes to dating. Again, I am stereotyping but if you ask me, I'd say that it goes (in ascending order):

1) Low ed Chinese
2) High ed Chinese
3) Low ed English
4) High ed English

Normally, low ed English educated guys would pursue (1) and (2) while highly educated guys would pursue anyone from (1), (2) or (3).

to be exact....TS is generalizing the whole group...not targeting particular person.....everyone should see outside of their fren circle......the whole group as one.....just because u and ur fren from chinese/english school might not put u in the same category........

This post has been edited by mayz: Mar 31 2008, 11:48 PM

cant we just follow those niggaz style...and party all nite

Can, no problem. My point is that we'd like to pursue people whom we think are inferior. It's an ego thing If we look fugly, we must be smarter. Hence, beauty and the geek (geek-ly beast to be exact).

TS.

It should be Oriental (usually Chinese) influence vs. Western (usually English) influence.

Anyone can take any education they want to. It is their choice of languange that makes all the differences. I can speak Chinese, but due to my extreme influence of the West (i.e. the common stereotype: banana [white in the inside, yellow on the outside]), my Chinese native flow of typical social conversation sucks (extremely WEAK CHINESE LANGUAGE PUNCHLINES) because my mind is thinking in English (due to the Western chosen way of life).

There are girls here who said they do not agree how they are stereotyped just because they have education from both English and Chinese. But which language is the one that dominates your preference and your true personality? You speak Chinese, but are you thinking in English in the inside? You speak English, but are you thinking in Chinese? These questions actually explains a lot. Are you really speaking your mind, or are you simply translating your words into another one, not realizing that translations can sound so cheesy? <----- (Most Chinese/Oriental people cannot find a proper Chinese/or commonly spoken Cantonese translation for this word, because trust me, it is not commonly used. They just nod heads and say emm, emm.)

And even if you're thinking and speaking in English, are you feeling that you want to be more of a Chinese? (Hence taking Chinese class because scared of people calling you banana) And if you're thinking and speaking in Chinese, are you sad that you're not good in the lingua franca?

Or maybe both stereotypes can be generalized simply as this:

Chinese/Oriental influence/way of life: Watches Chinese dramas like you know, like the ones in WLT from Astro.

English/Western influence/way of life: Watches English dramas like Heroes, House M.D, and many more.

If any of you can weigh the qualities and values from both I.Q and E.Q from thoese two types of movies, then you'll get the summary of what a Chinese influenced girl is like and what an English influenced girl is like.

Oh yeah and btw. I'll tell you one bigger truth.

Chinese/Oriental influenced people don't hug regularly = Not so open minded-like culture. (Majority, not all, so please f**k off)

English/Western influenced people = Need me say more? We Asians practised open minded-ness from the West. Hollywood mar. You don't understand English also you go and watch lar D I U.

Perhaps there's one more stereotype between the Chinese and the English influenced/educated.

Those who (Majority) are in Science Stream will know which language they belong to and so are the ones from Art Stream.

It's too obvious. I find more Chinese speaking/influenced ones in Arts Stream. And what does that tell you? Another common stereotype.

So unless a guy can manage to pull off the best of both worlds (which is few, because people always choose to have only one), he's on his own.

Phew. I like asking this question to the Chinese when they call me a banana: "If you are so Chinese, why do you have English names?"

So my conclusion:

Chinese educated/influenced = Not open minded. If if they are, it's not enough.

English educated/influenced = Usually open minded due to exposure and usually due to Hollywood and America (The UN speaks English too).

These conclusion apply to both guys and girls by the way. So if you're a guy going after either a Chinese or English educated/influenced girl, you better be prepared to kick off some of your habits that comes from your way of upbringing (English or Chinese upbringing brings a hell lot of difference). Subsitute Johnny Depp for Wang Li Hom and Destiny's Child for S.H.E. (or vice versa).

Hey enuff of Chinese...

What abt Tamil-ed girls? Anybody??

I agree Chinese ed and English ed will have different thinking but when come to girls/guys attraction, the education is not that important anymore, the most important thing is the face and body shape.

I agree only because of experience.

I liek d briyani babes much, thanks...

Thanks for all the replies.

WAH!!!! How did you know? Nevertheless, congratulations, you're a good mind reader and/or stalker (j/k)

Sounds like quite some advice. Personally, I find chinese-eds are quite difficult to talk to not because of any language barrier, but because their responses being very brief and 'conversation-stopping' in nature like I mentioned in my first post. Let's say a question like "'how was lunch (food)?'", the reply would most of the time be "'fine'"... they don't continue with "how was your's?" or "the food was really good, we should go again" or anything which allows extension of a chat without the use of another question.

Another thing is the part where most actions need to be accompanied with a reason statement, preferably given beforehand... I've heard that chinese-eds in general seem to have a need to know the reason behind things and most of the chinese-ed guys and girls I know are really like that. With questions like "why this... why that", one has to directly point out what they are doing like "I'm accompanying you while you finish your homework" or "...because I love you" or etc etc. The toughest would be answering the "why" question after you suddenly give her stuff like flowers, out of the blue, on a normal day. Shouldn't these actions, romantic or daily life, already be quite obvious?? ...maybe they do know but are just testing the guy, who knows?

I couldn't agree more with your statement on foul language though.


Yea, you're right, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. I see many people bringing up the topic of languages and communication barriers in a chinese ed vs english ed gf/bf topic... that is not the correct 'definition' of chinese vs english ed. The REAL topic theme, which you were just talking about above, is their mentality, influence, the way of life and approach to doing actions (examples such as chinese ed girls usually unable accept a guy literally touching, includes kissing and hugging, them - even if you were their bf already, you would have to be together really close and for a long time to kiss or hug them and english eds being more tolerant of vulgarities, probably because they use curse words themselves and as frequently )

I'm english educated, so I can tell you why. Simply put it english songs at karaoke are crap, due to the poor el-cheapo videos used for the songs. Chinese pop songs on the other hand just seem made for karaoke, they're more much fun and engaging. Because most of use can barely read chinese, we tend to not frequent karaoke places.

Stereotyping must exists somehow in this kind of thread but i just can't agree with the way you stereotype among chinese and english. Instead of stereotyping i believe you're mocking and insulting the chinese society more than the english society. You cannot judge a person characteristic based on their language preference but you can say that maybe because of their language preference they are brought up in a different way in life. But to just conclude that chinese ppl like the one you mention above, man that's just to 'insulting' to me. My girl doesn't meet the chinese criteria at all while for the English, am an english person, but i don't see any of those resembles me anyway.

So go figure.

its not the ed,

its the mentality, and chivalry

Oh dear.

I have been english educated since young.
However that does not necessarily mean my English is great or fantastic.
So please do ignore the grammatical errors.

Anyways, I can't speak Chinese at all, nor can I comprehend the chinese language.
It seems more like ... noise in my head. [Not trying to slander the chinese language, I just can't understand the language].
Hardly been exposed to the Chinese culture and YET... I find myself under your definition of "Chinese Stereotype"?

You bluntly stated that a Chinese Educated is:
I am not talkative. I am rather shy. Even if you made me talk, I rather listen.
I have nothing much to say, so yes, I am quite a boring person to talk to.

I would rather someone talk to be directly and not beat around the bush.
Just say it out clearly. I am a blur person who needs things to be directly said into my face.

Either .. Your definition of a Chinese educated Stereotype is flawed or;
... I must be weird to actually fulfilled every criteria under there.

I rather think it is abruptly incorrect to even define things such as these using the factor of the education system.

That's what some CE'd had problems with.

Well what about those in the middle of both?

Both sides should learn up both languages properly. It can only be empowering whilst removing this unnecessarily social Berlin wall.

To my fellow EE chinese who have not learnt chinese yet, I strongly recommend learning it. IMO there's no such thing as too old or too late if you want it badly.

Here's a famous excerpt from a Lee Kuan Yew speech, it's really banana to banana talk:

"To be able to speak Chinese and to read the Chinese script, is reassuring. To look at Chinese characters, see them as mysterious hieroglyphics, is to be psychologically disadvantaged. A little effort and the magic of the characters will reveal themselves. Only a Chinese who cannot speak or read it, and who has been exposed to discomfiture or ridicule when abroad, will know how inadequate and how deprived he can feel. By the, they would not be young enough to learn the language easily. I have personally experience this. Therefore, I can state that its psychological value cannot be over-emphasised."

Though it contains propaganda and takes a defeatist stance, I think it sums up the dillemma of a chinese not knowing chinese. i have made the effort over the past 2 years and have seen the rewards.

Totally agree with you there!
I'm actually somewhat like you too
English ed and brought up speaking only english in my family but personally i'm quiet.
Kinda prefer to listen to others

I actually have some experience with chinese ed friends, the way i see it, the problem is the communication barrier.
Chinese ed guys/gals have not much confident in communicating with you in english so that's why they make it brief and understandble

To Noobimus : FYI, u misinterpret the definition of banana. It doenst matter wheter a non banana have a english name or not.
Banana is those who are chinese but cant speak chinese. Its not related to name. U will be selfpwned if u ask the question to those who know wats banana

a english-ed girl confeessed to me before.

cute and smart.

and yes, i rejected her.

edit: NOT BECAUSE SHE IS English-ed, just before somebody flame me

Ah a wonderful thread very informative indeed. I really enjoy ed analogy , So true in this culture here heh , See what I think is that it really is up to the guy what he wants , If you are the type of guy who is a chameleon meaning you can change to any situation then you will survive and look out for a life filled women of all flavors ! ,

Personally , I really dont care what ed she is , As long as she pushes my buttons , I can totally fill the shape of any glass !

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....

Chinese Ed girls are only good to look at..... which means, if u want a GF, go for chinese ed.

If you want a soulmate, english ed is where you're more likely to find.

I am Chinese ed (elementary school at least)..
I can speak my mother tongue... I speak hakka
with my family, but i prefer to converse in english with
my friends.... I speak mandarin with my best buddy

Most of the time, i'd rather speak english so you can say english
is my first language but people still call me a banana...
I'm like wtf? you invented the term banana but u don't even know
what it means ??

As i've said before, i should have been born a white guy.
I am not intrigued by the chinese culture. I hate their songs,
it's always a copy of en english one. I dislike thier food, cos there's
too little meat.... But i do enjoy my mom's home cooked chinese
food 'cos of the portion. Most of the time, I'd rather eat at mamak's
or western cos i love steaks and chops. I hate chinese drama, too much crying
and revenge... english shows are wayy more entertaining. So yeah, i should have
been born a white guy with a 9 inch d!ck...

What is wrong with banana? I'm a banana too and i like when they call me banana. I find it sexy and chicks dig it.

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

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?

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

As mentioned before, it's mainly which language is used. I'm probably one of the few true bananas (Can't speak, read, or write any chinese). I have to dumb down my spoken english a bit just so that Chinese ed friends can understand me

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.

95% of chinese jokes comprises of chinese proverbs and the chinese language itself.
I don't laugh at chinese jokes.... it's soo corny.

Different wavelength LoL.

English speaking dudes are largely, Westernised, hence the more extroverted personality. In general, I don't think it's a stereotype at all. I do think it's a fact to some extent. When I was in Uni, Chinese Ed students were really quiet. I know because I was in a group with these students and I presented assignments to the classroom ALL the time, even when I was in Australia. When in OZ I noticed that chinese ed students only spoke when the lecturer spoke directly to them. Well things may have changed since, but it was the way I described it when I was in school/uni.

I am by and large, and English educated Chinese dude. Even my grandparents on both sides spoke English. I never did learn how to speak Cantonese until I was in secondary school. It is advantageous to be able to speak fluently in both languages. I now have friends who are both English and Chinese educated. I am impartial when it comes to a persons educational background but I must say I feel more comfortable with English educated lads as we share a similar mindset.

hmm... you mean like the girl you date would not be your wife?
pretty gal is your gf and any-look-gal is your wife?
you know what? you sounded to have great potential to have a caring wife and a pretty mistress, haha! no offence...

yeah,that was totally a guy's joke.....

i mean, i wouldn't agree to be in a relationship unless i see a future,..
not marriage la, that would be a little scary,.
what i mean is being together with someone you can share your life with...
not just bringing a decorative gal along...
but that's just me.. a gal's thoughts...
then again, there is a difference between social dating and being in a relationship....

p/s: i think that all girls can be pretty, if they make the effort, seriously..

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

HOW many topics like these have we had? Sheesh.

oh and I read that someone said they wouldn't date a guy if they see no future ... but not talking about marriage. What the heck are you talking about? A future in a relationship = marriage.

This post has been edited by spunkberry: Jul 10 2008, 05:46 PM

Erm... both carry a different meaning?

"Assumption" - anything taken for granted; supposition
"Observation" - The act of noting, observing, or taking into account

One is based on a guess while the other is based on what you have seen or experienced.

Everyone is unique, yes, but people can be grouped together by their common elements and behaviours. You can apply this to chinese/english educated people. Culture and language plays a huge role in a person's upbringing and in shaping the way they think. For instance, gender roles/social etiquette/rules/etc. are very strict and rigid in chinese culture. They're taught to respect and listen to authority, often to the point of complete submission. This is probably why you don't see chinese ed people asking many questions during lectures and such, they think doing so would be challenging authority.

I don't see chinese educated people as being more shy, more introverted, etc. I just see that they think differently, and personally, I dislike the chinese educated mentality. I know quite a few exceptions, but generally, its something I cannot stand.

Now you know the kind of vagueness and contradictions guys have to put up with

lol hawk, I'm pretty sure I think like a guy

your BF is one lucky guy then

So how about the non educated group?
I think i falls under that category

If you're talking about marriage, i'm with you on this one.

Uneducated is best, can be educated
unfortunately for you, you is very educated

I generally dislike it, whether its for marriage, relationships, sex, business, I find the chinese educated mentality horrid. Only time when I find it tolerable, is when it comes to family, but even then, there are aspects that clash.

what about marriage in the so-called 'chinese ed'?

But i is non educated and are never educated

I have the same dislike too
Kiasu, blatantly disregard of other people's feeling, the way they cut corners, and the list goes on bleh
I had to face these kind of people everyday till it got to a point that i'm numb

hey celyn, you're not going to entertain us in the topic dedicated to you?


Liar

calculators???????? YOU SO MUST BE KIDDING!!!
it must be some hell of a calculator! wahaha!!

Frankly, for chinese peeps, i just really hate when the elder really disregard the younger ones and they always believe they are the right one in almost every aspects of their life. Very very the bias.

Not to mention, they want their child to always get straight As regardless of the situation the child face at schools. Its pity sometimes to see those child.

Again, I speak from my experience dating a Chinese ed guy. The main reason why I made him an ex was because he was trying to control me. There were other things that clashed but that was mainly it. I don't like the Chinese ed mentality either, and I don't tolerate it at all when it comes to relationships.

It strains my friendships, depending on how 'chinky' they are. I tried to be friends with my best friend's (now ex) gf, and I just couldn't stand her.

what was the topic, btw?
