China: Women Are Queens

friendshpy.jpg

There is sort of romantic courtship in Chinese culture, and in the first few weeks of a romance, the woman is treated with  deference by the male suitor.
 
The male usually buys a small gift, always pays for the food bills, and behaves with courtliness and attentiveness to the whims
of the woman he is attracted to.
 
I respect you so much,
the Taiwanese man I  dated said to me,
and he said this to me so many times, that I began to wonder!
 
I saw his excessive manners as a sort of social form. This Taiwanese man I met in Taipei was really quite aggressive, and possibly half-Japanese.

Looking back, he certainly did not fit most stereotypes of Chinese men. Though he was a very intelligent computer professional.
