Using TanTan in any major North American city yields a way more, uh, normal looking crop of people than what you seem to see. Maybe it's because it's all 富二代, or something.

I used to save the most egregious ones but it ended up being so common I lost interest in cataloguing literally every other person on the app. My favorite thing is when people put a weixin sticker over their cleavage in some weird act of self-censorship. For kicks I made a new account and put myself as a lady looking for men and it was wayyyy more boring than I expected. I don't know what I was hoping for, but it was just badly lit selfies of dudes.

I used to save the most egregious ones but it ended up being so common I lost interest in cataloguing literally every other person on the app. My favorite thing is when people put a weixin sticker over their cleavage in some weird act of self-censorship. I have about 40 matches right now after left swiping about 90% of the people that show up, and the ones I've talked to are asking for actual English lessons and want to pay me to tutor them, even though I'm not an English teacher. I had a Chinese friend write my profile in Chinese explaining I don't speak Chinese and I hate dates and spending money, which in turn has caused people to think it's sarcastic and I really look forward to it. They've all been duds. Wechat People Nearby still wins. This time I am actually looking for a legit girlfriend so I am trying to search for someone that matches me in some main ways. Mongol Raider wants purely FWB and to not "catch the feels," so she told me when I find someone good then we can end that or be normal friends. Her advice was "Don't look for a Chinese. They will cheat you," but she says that about Chinese for every circumstance. Since the women's profiles are all full of photos of them obviously on expensive dates and vacations they didn't pay for (hinting at what they are expecting), I figured the males profiles would all be BMWs photos and fancy watches or something. Kinda disappointed to hear it's not blatant wealth flaunting for sugar babies. The girls I asked about the guys on here all said the Chinese guys immediately just ask for sex and then stop talking when she says no. The hottest trend is a photo of her standing, back to the camera, one arm up with the peace sign. It's about as played out as the white people version of the man/woman standing on the edge of cliff in wilderness.

Haier posted:It is becoming normal, but I only made an account last week so it's still hilarious to me at the moment. I have been collecting pictures of Chinese five and sixheads for a while now, and it's been helping me with that. You're the first person I've heard mention look around/nearby since momo popped up in like 2013 or so, I opened it just now and sure enough there was a ton of people so I guess silly me thinking it was dead. Weirdly sincere advice for this thread: If you're looking for something more serious it sounds weird but Tinder might be a better choice. In my city at least it's mainly 海龟 so they might be more in-line with what you're looking for compared to tantan. Given where you are the scene might be a bit different, though.

Boiled Water posted:It's mainly turtles? What does that mean? Whoops I guess that's a little hard to parse. It's a homophone for 海归 which means Chinese people who either studied abroad or otherwise lived outside of China for a while and came back home, the turtle one is used cuz Chinese loves its slang and I guess turtles also go away then come back or something???

it's time for TGA's "Hey, We're Moving Offices in China! lol!" part one part two the foreigners had to work yesterday, so we all showed up outside the new office. the building isn't really open yet, so we kinda had to go through a roped off construction zone to get to the front door. a police officer was very nice and showed me the way. i know people from my company have been going there because while all the foreigners had a holiday, the marketing staff has been uploading pictures of themselves wearing masks and painting the walls in the new building. quickly off topic: i really hate the divide of foreigners and locals in my office. they give us all more holiday time, we work 5 days a week for 40 hours, while every chinese person has to work 6 days a week for 54 hours. it just seems like such an easy way to develop bad feelings. in our new office there are two rooms, one is for "foreign teachers" and one is for "chinese teachers", and i said "can't we just put all the teachers together" and the girl said "of course not". uh, ok. anyway, we took the elevator to our floor, i guess last time the elevator wouldn't go to our new floor. this time it did. one of our employees was encouraged by that. when we arrived, this is what it looked like. which isn't nearly as bad as it looked in the first picture about 10 days ago. the girl from chicago that works with us was really impressed with how much they've done, and i guess i would be too, but i've seen entire infrastructures for subways go up and running in like under two years, like entire subway lines with 20 plus stops. go near washington dc and they will be doing construction on 495 for the next decade and nothing will ever seem to change. china changes overnight. that's cool and good, IMO. i did walk around the office, we have only bought half the floor, the other half of the floor looks like this. so i ended up talking with the girl from HR for a bit, and she said everyone had to work. but since our computers aren't set up yet, and we have no internet, we can't really work right now. so i gave the foreign staff the day to go "work from home", meaning if they have stuff to do, please go get it done. this really isn't allowed in china, like there is this distinct idea at work where if you are at work, you are therefore working. so if you are not at work, you can't be paid for work. as in i've talked to people numerous times who are at work, sleeping or playing video games, and they are like "well today i had to work" and i'll say "what did you do at work" and they'll respond with "nothing, i had a rest". so the entire chinese staff stayed there and chatted and all the foreigners kinda bobbed in and out. i went to go work out. i could have kissed the HR girl i was so happy, on my way out she came to me and said "i need help translating all of this" and it was all of the english they were going to put all over the office. "admissions", "marketing", "finance", and our previous chinglish all over the wall. she said "we don't want to make any english mistakes this time". i could have cried. i was like "omg its happening...things...are...changing." i told my boss when i signed for another six months that my wife, son and i would be out the door in june, but this office is amazing and they are like...changing the way they are doing things? a little? maybe just a tiny bit? it's so encouraging. i started working for this company in madison, wisconsin, we had a one room office in capitol square that we could barely afford, then i moved to china and we had the most disgusting office ever. then we moved again, now we are here. i was all emotionally ready to leave china but this is so good, it's like "....dammit." it would have been easy if it looked horrible, but this new building is boss. guess we'll see how work keeps going in the future. here's a few more bonus shots of the city, from an employee who left two days ago. this was the view he had from the 50th floor of his building. some pretty nice shots of tianjin. unbelievably, this guy hated his life here and hated china, which i don't really know how you can hate china when you have this view. look at what humans have created. amazing. all of these pictures were taken not just of the same city, but at the same time on the same day. the second picture looks super polluted. that's southern tianjin, maybe the lack of big buildings makes the pollution more visible. i dunno. lastly, my mom emailed me a few days ago, she was looking through an old copy of the new york times from like a month ago, and found this article and said "i think the girl looks like your ex gf, is it?" and i was like "wow it kinda does look like her" so i went to my ex's Facebook page and she had all of these behind the scenes photos tagged of her at this event, she is modelling in paris now. and i'm still in tianjin. like she's moved to paris and speaks french fluently and is now on the front page of the fashion and style section of the new york times modelling...and i'm shitposting on a comedy forum in the same city i was in six years ago. poo poo. anyway those are my china stories from the past few days, thanks for reading, china is cool and good. that's all.

Haier posted:It explains why there's basically no world-class anything coming out of China on all levels. Like a majority of everything wrong with China, it's a cultural problem and it won't go away until... who knows, maybe it won't go away ever. The article mentions how tech is the one thing that does stick out. Some things related to tech like computer animation have also been developing pretty impressively in China, though that's also because of foreign companies coming into China and training the workforce in the style of Western production standards. But China is really good at realistic art. Like, the average kid who take the art tests in China have much much better observational skills and dedication to craft than most Western art students. Maybe that's because it's part of an exam, which is really pushed there. It's interesting how "good enough" coexists with an educational system like the gaokao that decides people's life's path. This is a nice science fiction novel the Chinese Communist Party is writing. Ccs fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Oct 7, 2016 |

The Great Autismo! posted:it's time for TGA's "Hey, We're Moving Offices in China! lol!" We're doing a lot of rehab and reno at my job recently, so this all looks somewhat familiar. Since the materials are all cosmetic crapola in all instances, what really stands out to me here is that there's no coordination in how things are being done. Furniture is in before rooms are done, random segments of things are finished. It is almost as though all the work is being done by 5 guys that just move around at random and do things whenever they feel like. That's probably half of what contributes to a half assed end product, is when someone has to make a change or go back, and go through/around the work that's finished over it. Or it gets marred or damaged, or they forget to come back. I mean, A for Effort, there's certainly been worse, but, like the thread says it feels like it is so close to good if they'd only try just a little bit more. Also still lol the random nailed together wood ladder things everywhere.
