It's all fun until the 500th person asks when you will marry and proposes to marry her, her you never heard of, her whose name you recall but can't put a face to it, her whose unattractive face you recall, etc, etc. I don't even want to imagine how it's like for a sheng nv.

Of course he should be more appreciative of his family, but it's kind of pointless to turn this into a competition about who has it worse; someone will always have it worse, and people will always say, "You should be more appreciative! At least you have parents!" or something of that sort. I mean, really, he's not going to print out bullet points to give to all his relatives, because that would be extremely disrespectful, and if he's going to be that disrespectful, he might as well just absent himself from the meeting. (Less effort required + more free time to dick around.) | ||

What's a "sheng nv" ? I think its means leftover women. As in women past 30 who have not found a husband. Yes I know, retarded. But then China never really had a women's rights movement like in the west. | ||

I feel really bad for girls like that, then again sometimes I feel like the fam asking you why you don't date susy when you are sure they understand why susy isn't/never has been taken EVER gets annoying. For my family its more like, "So honey, when is she converting?" LOL. | ||

I've got a slew of stuff lined up the afternoon of the 25th, but my evening that day is free. Would that day work out for everyone who's PM'd me and/or posted in this thread? Feel free to suggest a place | ||

If he's not going to attend he'd better have a damn good reason, as in "sorry but i just got married but then my wife died" good reason. | ||
