Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

Here's an interesting study for those who wish to understand vietnamese concepts of virginity and pre-marital sex:

Again, I must say...vietnamese are still *very* confucian and chinese (although they don't like to hear the latter).

The findings in the above article will come as no surprise for the majority of those here who are of chinese heritage.

Personally, I was never very interested in virgins, and I honestly don't understand all the fuzz about this. I mean, would any of you buy a car that you have never driven before?! Or worse, a car that no one has tested before? A car which might potentially never start, never work properly? A Mercedes is usually not a bad car, yet with a new car you never know. Lee Kuan Yew switched to Lexus because his brand new model, top-of-the-line Mercedes had a lot of problems. It would suddenly stop, for no apparent reason (eg software bugs). I don't think a Lexus is better than a Mercedes, but since I know a little bit about marketing and engineering practices, I would *never* buy any brand new technology product which has just been pushed into the market. Brand new models are always beta models. V 0.9, if you want. There will always be flaws. If you're willing to be a beta tester, and stupid enough to pay a premium for working out the flaws, go for it...But it'd rather have a car that works, and a girl who knows what she does...I'm not the beta-tester kind of guy.

Just my personal opinion. I respect all those who admire virgins, although I think they consequently shouldn't have sex themselves before marrriage either, if they really value this concept^^

Enough said...time to go out and enjoy some proven, thoroughly tested...ahem...cars. I also know there's a lot of good folks here, who believe in love rather than virginity
