Yap, I agree with you. People always worship the more advanced things or cultrue. The economic level of a country and the education ways may greatly influence her sons and daughters. How could a guy to be charming without a high salary and good education. Guys in Shanghai may have sth in common with the Hongkongeses, skinny and feminize… Yet they're still more charming and gentle than the guys from inner-land. So it's a long way to change the characters of the "weak Chinese guys".

i'm not 100% white but i've been living in hong kong for several years and have met quite a few chinese guys here (even dated them lol). i guess i can see why local girls prefer dating foreigners since the culture among guys here is kind of... weird and a bit feminine. guys here are skinny (and they love to be skinny and weak) and they fix their hair every time they walk past a mirror (or anything reflective). They like showing off and making corny jokes (they call them "gags"). so i guess it's just their characters. i ain't saying every guy here is like that (just many of guys i've met here are like that to a certain degree) and i don't know about guys from mainland china - they may be better lol i have actually met a really charming chinese guy though. and i have to say that they still sorta worship anything foreign, like they respect you more if you speak english. i think they call it 崇洋 in chinese.
