In Florida, for tax purposes, it is still considered a renovation, when you tear down and build 75% of the house and leave 1 original wall.

Crazy rules...

Sooo keep renting, dont marry, dont have kids, be single and broke. Thank you helpful youtube.

Is actually true in China. In order for a female to even consider to date you, you have to own a house/apartment at least. Owning a car maybe yes or no. But yea if you don't own a property basically no one will date you. That's why parents start saving for their son's marriage as soon as he is born.

If you haven't dated a Chinese girl in China or FOB the first few questions they ask you during your first date is something like

Do you own a house/apartment?What city is the property in?How big is it?How much is it worth?
Do you own a car and what brand?
What's your job? How long you been in this position and how much do you make?

Basically if your answer to these questions isn't ideal there will be no second date no matter what. If the answer seems ok then they might consider to date you and see your personality. Basically money comes first, all others comes second.

That's why you see so many single men in China and girls would rather have an affair with a rich men fully knowing he is marry, have a family and most likely is having an affair with multiple girls at once.

Do girls offer you anything? Since you make it seem like the guy has to provide a lot of criterias.

baby making factory and woodboard sex :pokerface:

So I guess those FOB girls are more like a last resort then? Assuming you can't get anyone else.

Sounds like girls in vancouver as well. They just hide it better snooping through your social circle.

Sounds like a man speaking from experience :awwyeah:

Only problem is the women in China don’t quite have the looks to go along with the high expectations. At least from what I’ve seen, Vancouver took the best looking Chinese women. Lol if they expect a free ride, they better be damn good looking, a hell of a chef/cleaner, a devil in the sack and a nice person to top it off. Sadly the high expectations and traits that go along with it conflict with the nice person criteria. At least in my books.

What? I spent some time overseas and you hang out in any kind of posh area in any city and you can't even find a place to put your eyes there's so many perfect little dolls everywhere... granted they're all most likely gold digging headcases and won't speak to anyone who's not asian, but no Vancouver did not take them all!

Guess I never been to enough posh places in China. I’ve stayed in the Shangri La in Shanghai, some Hilton near the American Embassy in Beijing. Walking the streets is nothing but.... ugh. Hong Kong is a different story, but mainland China. Gross. Haha.

Are you a white guy?

I'm only asking this because I've noticed that white guys and chinese guys definitions of pretty are very different.

dude, the description of having sex with a chinese is in one of RS members sigs :lol

Of course he's a white guy! He likes his Chinese girls with squinty eyes, bony faces and with short bangs over their forehead...



I kid, I kid...:D

I am a white guy, and I'm aware of the perceived differences in what's considered attractive... and when I say it here I am thinking more of the asian version of it.

Not really I read a report somewhere that 1/3 of Men in China between the age or 30 to 45 will not be able to find a wife since there are way too many men vs women in China (Due to the one child policy). Because of this the women in China have higher expectations.

Anyways back on topic for a bit. Went back to China in Nov because my parent's apartment is ready to move in. And I have to say the build itself is crap. The build is so bad I feel there is literally no insulation at all. The temp indoor is the same as outdoor (I could literally feel the wind coming in around the windows......)m the drainage is very very poor. I could take a shower for 15mins and it would take ages for the water to drain. Also using the washroom you can't throw toilet paper in it (there is a bin next to it and you are suppose your used toilet paper in there). Not sure if this is the quality in all China (the apartment is in a 3rd tier city)

I'M HOMELESS !!!!!

:considered:

Lol this is silly.

Same ratio fine/ugly compared to any other developed nation i'd imagine. No statistical reason to believe otherwise. You just hang at the wrong places.

My theory was that the rich ones, who are able to take care of themselves moved here. I like the theory. There is a lot of poor unkept people in China. Lol or maybe I just like the white washed ones :p

A very informative video i came across the other day. Some of what's being discussed here explained as well.

Maybe we can take this stupid joe45 stuff about Chinese girls and dating to a thread other than the real estate thread...

Joe_45 is in this thread?

So... back to real estate a bit. Likely one of the last updates for 2018!

Volume down 30-40% in addition to seasonal slowdown (everyone going on holidays) but price is still up year over year.

Presales wise I follow MLA who markets similar amount of projects like Rennie/Magnum.

Presales have slowed down too - but only for pricier condos (as expected) since cash is harder to come by internationally. Nov/Dec trends is downwards with project sales about 35-45% unless very aggressively marketed and priced.
