I met a girl like that in Singapore during a beer party. She was actually a friend of a goon, worked for Bloomberg and is moving to Hong Kong for the sole person of finding a guy because Singapore is “family orientated”

There was an article written by some white lady who complained about not being able to get a date in Singapore because the local men weren't interested and the other expats could get younger more attractive Chinese women. It's been posted here more than once. Anyone know which one I'm talking ahout?

Most everyone knows by now that Western men are god-like figures in China, attracting hoards of local women who are drawn to their masculine appearances and dominant personalities in comparison to the average effeminate, small-sized Chinese men. Generally speaking, Western men are also more blunt about what they want than the average local fellows, which seems to appeal to the native women, ensuring that most Western men here are never short on sex.

Unfortunately, the same principle does not apply to Western women when it comes to dating Chinese men. If anything, we're considered too dominant, turning the majority of them off with our independent personalities and strong opinions.
.....
One might suppose that the outlook would be more optimistic for Western women pursuing Western men in China, but in that dating pool we also draw the short straw. Once foreign men get a taste for the sheer amount of attention they receive from Chinese women, along with their slender, pliable figures and submissive nature in the bedroom, Caucasian gals simply can't compare.

One time there was a young couple screaming outside the door way and having a big argument,

I was just listening in and peeping through the keyhole, I wish I had an internet cam and recorded them. I said, "Hey honey these people are fighting outside, holy smokes, you want to listen in?" The couple felt really awkward and scurried back inside the house. I felt bad and wish I handled it better, like domestic abuse

"Are you ok? If you don't feel safe, do you have anywhere to go?" - That's what I should have said instead of being a lovely nosy gossipy neighbor. I still feel a little guilty to this day

Rich Chinese Kid Faces Prison for Squandering $36 Million for Girlfriend
A 29-year-old man from Hangzhou, the capital of China’s Zhejiang Province, is facing prison time after he squandered millions of dollars to spoil his model and live-streamer girlfriend.

Zhang Xiaoen was born to a wealthy Chinese family and was accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle of spending a lot of money on anything he wished.

He made sure that Yang was always happy by spoiling her with expensive presents such as designer clothes, accessories, jewelry, cars, and costly trips to Dubai.

Even though Zhang is part of a wealthy family, he could not handle all of Yang’s needs.

To keep up, Zhang reportedly took 70 million yuan ($10.5 million) from his father’s company. He then gambled using the money he borrowed from his wealthy friends to pay back his father but ended up losing 170 million yuan ($25.4 million) instead.

The lenders reported Zhang to the police after he was unable to return all the money he borrowed from them.

He was eventually arrested and admitted how poorly he managed his finances. Zhang also blamed his girlfriend for encouraging him to gamble when she accompanied him to Macau.

Zhang was later charged with fraud while his now ex-girlfriend started collaborating with prosecutors to build a case against him. She also began posting pictures with other men on social media.

Chinese Woman Brain D‌ea‌d Days After Being Bit‌te‌n by Venomous Snake She Bought Online
A 21-year-old woman from Weinan in northwestern China’s Shaanxi Province fell into a c‌oma and was later pronounced brain d‌e‌a‌d after being bitten by a highly venomous snake that she bought online.

The woman, who was identified by her pseudonym Xiaofang, was reportedly ‌bi‌tt‌en by a many-banded krait (Bungarus multicinctus) on her left hand while she was at home in Weinan, according to South China Morning Post.

She later called for help about an hour after being bi‌tt‌en, and reported feeling dizzy and nauseous, her parents said. Unfortunately, the woman fell into a coma after she was brought to the ho‌spital on July 9.

However, the h‌ospita‌l did not have any supplies of antivenin to treat bites from the many-banded krait, a breed that is not common in the area and is under the endangered species list in China.

She was not given a shot of the antidote until later in the evening, and received another four doses sent from a hospital in Shanghai, Asia Times reported.

The woman reportedly bought the snake from an unspecified online shopping platform to use in a recipe to make “snake wine.” However, for reasons unknown, she decided to keep the animal as a pet.
...
The recent incident triggered an online debate among netizens over whether the government should increase their efforts to put a stop to online selling of live animals as China’s Postal Law states that such sales are illegal.

Despite this, many online sellers continue to offer live animals such as snakes, lizards, scorpions, and mice.
