Vietnamese women. Dating only for the goal of marriage?
One of my Vietnamese friends explained to me that most women in her country want only a relationship with a man leading to marriage.
I mentioned that singular focus even for a man in America may not be widely shared by most of the population. Many American women are have a variety of goals and options for relationships. The choices are less rigid than 50 years ago. She could not believe the casual dating customs of America, Canada,etc. She is 29 and has never been to North America or Europe. I suggested she try to make freinds with some western females and learn the outlook they have toward dating, marriage and children. I didn't tell her that the American/EU way was right or wrong.
Any opinions that you would like to share?

I think it depends on opinion of everyone. Most of the Vietnamese women is careful and strick for their love and marriage. Love someone is feeling of human. Majority Asian people think love should be given to only person, because that is faiyhfulness. We live in diffrent countries with differences in culture, custom, life style. Therefore it is not easy to change something belong to soul and spirit. For me - a Vietnamese girl, I can make friends with many people, but I love only one and certainly, I would like to get married to my lover. Hi :)
That is my point of view. and how about you.
Maybe I make some mistakes, please correct them if possible. Thanks ^^

Vietname is a Asian country. So I think not only Vietnamese women but also Asian women bring traditional thought. They dont have many love relationships with men like western women. Marrige and having children are the most holy things in their life. But in the modern life, Western life come to Vietnam and they gradually study many good things like confidence, free-hearted, life master, etc... A good women always know how to harmonize traditional and modern things

I can understand her.
In my country, women at the age of 29 or 30 are considered "old maid" or "be on shelf".
Her family and her friends will urge her to date with some guys, will talk a lot that if she doesn't marry soon, she will have few choices to find a good man, that it's not good for her children if they are born when she is over 30, bla bla bla
And till one time, when she feels that she is older and older, she will pick up one of them to marry, even without love, just to fulfil her responsibility which is to start a family.
Western and Asian customs are different. Even when she talks to some American females, it's not easy to change her point of view immediately.

You shouldn't have told her that. The casual 'dating' in America and other western countries is one of the many things that I find appalling these days. It's certainly not something to be proud of.
Also, such an approach to dating would be heavily frowned upon in her culture, leaving her with a social stigma that she may never be able to recover from.
