One of the rules at my house is, no pink rooms.

Not bedrooms not bathrooms.

Actually, Dark red has been the color of debate, she loves it, I think it's too dark.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Last resort....we women all need a beautiful pink bedroom.

you don't need a bedroom that color for something that coats.....soothes.......relieves

Doooood--- look around "certain" photo gallery... someone had the ultimate PEPTO -themed wedding

Paul,

you're just too old for me, and besides that, you have no tits. I'm breaking up with you. Call my lawyer.

What if he gets implants and promises not to throw dishes?

And agrees not to paint the bathroom/bedroom pink without consulting you first.

Last resort....we women all need a beautiful pink bedroom.

That looks just like my bathroom, I LOVE IT !

Is there a Chinese symbol for the love a Chinese man has for his wife?

Traditionally, Chinese men did not take wives for love. (Which is a horribly modern, Western notion in itself.) For "love" they would take a mistress. Historically, this is pretty much how it's always been - especially among the landed/wealthier classes. The Chinese just tend to be a bit more nuanced about it.

thanks for sharing your understanding of the east with these heathens.

Not that there was any point to it. No shortage of folks on VJ eager to cull out part of the world population by race, age, or especially gender and be officially offended on their behalf. In this thread for example. Obviously, young Chinese women are entirely unable to answer you or speak for themselves. It is an obligation, therefore, for the VJ members with absolutely no knowledge, experience, or understanding of that clture to leap to the aid of these hapless women and condemn you, evil justashooter. And what were you thinking, sharing your personal experience (not opinion) with us any way? You should be ashamed of yourself, ASHAMED I SAY.

Me too, Shooter. I'll be your Robin if you'll be my Batman.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Presumably that makes you Batman... I guess its in keeping with the superhero rhetoric about "fighting evil"

Personal experience is perfectly respectable - but your "when in Rome" towards these things is positively bizarre. On the one hand you refuse to make any moral judgement about a 2-year old being allowed to get wasted on alcohol (something that's clearly reprehensible and hardly "cultural")- finding the spectacle somehow "hilarious", then later you seem to suggest here that men like you are performing some sort of public service for the Far-East women you marry - in the same character of language that someone might use towards domesticating wild animals or describing property.

Surely if we follow your adherence to Chinese culture to a tee - we might be forgiven for thinking that your marriage is of the business arrangement variety and that you have a mistress or two kicking around somewhere. I'm sure that's not the case - but that's how it comes across.

I mean - I'm sure you *love* your wife, in the "western-way" the same way that many others here do, yet you never talk about your personal situation other than vague 3rd person generalities about how "men like you" and women "like that" interact in a cross-cultural relationship.

Spot on, PD.
