So good! The fact that this video came out right in the International Woman's Day is hilarious!

As my friend said, "Sex you pay for is often cheaper than sex you don't pay for"

I like this guest, he has a kind of deadpan humor about everything. Really good podcast, thank you so much!

This podcast is so funny. I laughed a lot 😂😂😂 Eileen please invite him again to do a podcast. He is so funny

*Eight Complaints Many Chinese Guys Have About Dating Chinese Girls:* 1. Girls are domineering 2. Girls are clingy 3. Girls always expect guys to consider their emotions 4. Girls accuse guys of being “straight men” 5. Girls like to escalate a minor problem into a bigger one 6. Girls mess with other guys whom they say are just friends 7. Girls always want a gift on festivals8. Girls always doubt guys’ loyalty

This channel is the best for learning Chinese 👌

Well, you really maxed out on this one: this is more than language but an opening into the human psych or at least a somewhat frustrating part of it. You are stretching us to think not only in Mandarin but in terms of some essential parts of ourselves as well. Wow! Very impressive!

I don't learn Chinese language, but I find your videos very interesting to watch and to learn about Chinese culture and different topics in general. Congratulations with 100k subscribers.

All these girls/women sound like a nightmare to me. I'm French and this behavior wouldn't fly here passed middle school. The lack of maturity is terrible. I just feel like you can just communicate with people (no matter who they are) in a respectful manner and try to solve conflicts or problems. No need for unnecessary drama. I'd never date someone like this...

What a fantastic video. In addition to pinyin, chinese characters, and english translation, it also includes videos of speaker so I can more easily imitate your speaking, and my favorite, explanations for cultural or slang terms explaining their meaning a significance. Your videos really could not be of any more help, thankyou.

Excellent video. "Love is the ideal, marriage is the real; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished." Goethe

1. To the guys : Always choose money not women because women choose guys with money. 2. If you have a girlfriend and she is clingy, be thankfull for that becaus that means she only needs your attantion and not attantion from other guys. 3. The biggest weapon women has is thier mouth. A woman can destroy a guy with just a view words. But the biggest weapon of a man is to be silent and just leaving. If you are a succesfull man (it means you have money, cars houses and so on) the woman has to play your rules because your rules are the succesfull rules. If she trys to dominate you, put her back in place or she belongs to the streets. It is that simpel.

wow. Great GREAT video. The guest is funny, the content is well structured, great amount of useful vocabulary. These dialouges are just awesome!!!

I'm not learning Mandarin, I just enjoy these lessons on Chinese culture. Very interesting, thank you!

This applies not just to Chinese women but to Westerners as well! Looking forward to watching video about dating Chinese guys who live in China.

Quite funny ! Felt sorry for the guy when he went to the shop with his girlfriend 😂.

Excellent Eileen, you asked the right questions to the right man!

This interview was hilarious, omg I was laughing the whole time. Thanks!! and learned lots of colloquial sayings to put in flash cards

Hilarious! Can’t wait for the girl’s complaints next

the discussion, the guy arguing, the culture shock, everything is a real anthropological experience, awesome video! thank you

Interesting, but to me as a Westerner, I find it hard to take this seriously. Why are these men putting up with childish, ridiculous nonsense? Are they men or children? Respect your woman and do good things for her, but you are not her slave! One has to compromize in a relationship, but it's no way I would put up with anyone demanding that I account for every hour of my life, or place my accept physical punishment, or such. Likewise, I would also not try to control her. You must give each other a certain amount of trust and room for personal freedom.

Congratulations on 100 k subscribers. You are the best!

Congratulations on 100k subs ! thank you for another amazing podcast they are my favorite content

Thanks so much for taking the time to add pīnyīn and translations and Chinese characters, this is the reason I keep watching these videos

You should get these videos on spotify! 你真的帮我提高我的汉语水平

This topic has brought me back 10 years ago when a relationship was like playing the game of love. Every day full of testing and trying to be on top of each other.

I should say my Chinese husband is sooo perfect to me. He always wants to do something good for me, sometimes it is too annoying. In the past he had relationship with Chinese girl and may be it affected him 😂

This was definitely a great podcast as always eileen and a even greater discussion the guy you were interviewing was hilarious 😂 #I got a fucking son

Eileen, I love so much that you tell us the accents of your guests. Thank you for doing that!

最初我来了提高自己的听力能力，突然收到了非常宝贵的生活课程。 非常感谢您们俩！

100K subs, congratulations! This is the best intermediate Chinese learning channel ever!

The answer to this problem is to enjoy your life as a single man and then you can spend your time watching these videos learning Chinese or anything else you want to do and be super happy that none of this mentioned in the video will happen to you but to some other poor schmuck

对我来说, 在RU-vid上，这是最好的教汉语的频道。每个视频都有正宗的汉语，每次看完后感觉我学到了很多。谢谢您！

100K subs, congratulations!

Wow this guy is amazing. You need to get him back for another episode. I loved it

16:35 LOL whoever came up with that is genius!

I saw this question and immediately thought "Of course not". But after watching the video I see that these complaints about Chinese women are universal for females everywhere. Some cultures just emphasize maturity more than others, but you'll find this kind of woman everywhere and in every woman if you allow it.

Thank you so much for your great video. I love the guy in this conversion. He is humorous in every sentence with his expressing, lol.

非常有意思的视频！好玩儿，好笑🤭😂😂我特别喜欢💕

Very good presentation, thanks. The amount of work for the translation shows clearly and raises the value of the video considerably, at least to those who are studying the language. I think it goes both ways, some of the complaints. Some men can be controlling, of course. I bet the complaints can in many cases have another side that can in fact be justified, so it can be confusing to interpret at face value. So some complaints are about issues intrinsic in any relationship but can still be grating, like sacrifice of enjoyable activities to benefit the significant other. Communication is a big issue, too, and mood.

Excellent video. I was laughing out loud many times. Good guest speaker too.

I enjoyed this video a lot. The guy is sooo funny and has elaborated the issues meticulously with examples. Although this was aired 2 years ago I just came across it as I recently started learning mandarin. I would like to see Jonas talk more on other topics like this too.

Congratulations to 100 000 subscribers !! You did it! Well done! Great work! You’re the best! Keep going !!

congrats on 100k subs！I love this channel！

Congratulations on 100k Eileen! Keep up with the great content 👏👏👏👏 I wanna see what chinese women don't usually like in a relationship too haha

I dated a chinese girl for 8 months, and I'm a caucasian (french) canadian. She was great, but there was definitely some cultural things I had to learn. She was much wealthier than me, but still expected me to pay for many things and to take her out. Also to hold her bags when shopping, which took forever. She also wasn't super affectionate, and whenever we were in public we had to be super "proper" and could only hold hands and nothing else. Other than that though, she was pretty awesome :) It just didn't work out because in the end we weren't super compatible.

In China, in Italy, or another culture....growing up as a single child, a mamma-boy or a daddy-princess, will shape you into a person more self-centered and less willing to share and give, a person constantly demanding attention. It takes a strong character and an engaging society to ameliorate these traits.

*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone! *Access the playback speed controls as follows:* *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right of the video's screen* and click on the *settings* icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the *upper right of the video's screen.* You will see *3 dots.* Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).

Understand Eileen at normal speed is doable, but Jonas is too hard. Watching on 0.75 speed makes it much easier!

Very Goos Ellen!!!! We also learn Chinese culture with your videos, and the view of the Chinese mind

That happens when you have more males than females in a country, it's also true the other way around. The less "competition" you have, the more entitled you can behave.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I met a Sichuan girl yesterday and chatted with her in Chinese. I was charmed, she wasn't.. :p

i really like this video , the guy is really amazing and understand many things : we can resume this video : how to became gentleman ( good words with good attitude ) not so easy :) ^^

One thing I thought was interesting; women who are more successful expect the guy to pay because their standards are higher. But here in the States it is the opposite; the more independent a woman is, the more she appreciates not having to rely on the man to pay for everything. Of course I am generalizing, but predominantly this is the culture here in the US.

i had a girlfriend like that sometimes she got into trouble having a good time ..and sometimes i had a phone call had to either to collect her or wait and take her to her home.. she was one of those heart of the party girls. think is if i wanted to go somewhere to a party/event/or any social event she would come with me. and was great company and very pretty ..we were best friends for years..sad to say she got cancer at 26 years old and past away. i still visit her grave now and then and leave flowers i am 71y old now still miss her

this guy had a list and examples to back up everyone...It's a universal list.the same everywhere. some funny stuff

i would much prefer to date a Taiwanese RoC girl than a PRC girl. Taiwanese girls are much better, more open minded, better English skills, and the RoC is the real "China" without any of the past 71 years of problems. Taiwan RoC is what the PRC could be without the CCP

Congratulations with 100k subscribers. I have been a big fan for a long time. This is amazing content. Thank you so much Eileen!

This was great educational content but I think the descriptions about women are big generalizations. He basically focuses on negative traits women have as if they are a liability. Let's look past these stereotypes of which gender is better or worse. All humans can have positive or negative traits, it's up to the individual to improve themselves and become a better person. I understand he is poking fun with some topics, but when people start to think groups of people all act and behave a certain way, this leads to problems in society.

"As a girl ,I certainly have no right to speak". That's some crazy asian stuff.

“宝宝要抱抱”😂

I want to learn mandarin because of my ancestors. Great job, Mandarin Corner.

My congrats on 100K subscribers. Great video as always.

my cousin who is chinese american acts like this way too even though and she was born in US . She watches a lot of chinese dramams. I think all those chinese shows have a similar portrayal of relationships w/ chinese women and she picked it up the culture from her mom and the shows

haha this was a really fun lesson! can't wait for the next episode on the women's prospective !

Jonas 说得特别好，哈哈。我之前也经历过这样的问题。谢谢你们，这个视频很幽默也很有用啊。

he has a view and variety perspective.. nice to hear his idea

Wow this video was eye opening, I am married to a Chinese women and everything this man said fits the bill to a tea. I thought I was the only one, but it seams like this is common behavior for Chinese women.

This was fun and educational! Thank you.

Great Eileen!! Loved so much!

I really enjoyed the conversation and the humor, great video! Although I have a doubt about the label "Intermediate Chinese", since it appeared to be full speed and advanced level.

You have helped me pass my hsk exams and l belive l'm gonna make it to the top level.One day you will interview me on your channel.加油！

More Jonas!!! this guy is hilarious

Grats for the 100k and Happy Women's Day!

"Maybe the fact that you were born was a mistake" 🤣

I love the interviews they are so funny!

哈喽Eileen老师, thanks,you're the best and you deserve more subscribers!

I'm so shocked! This type of behavior is considered extremely controlling and in fact down right abuse. It shouldn't matter if you're a man or woman, you never deserve to be controlled and manipulated in such a way

I am a retired man on a fixed income. I have a comfortable life. Am looking for an Asian woman age 40 +. In America 🇺🇸 Willing to learn Mandarin. Am fit and attractive. No gold diggers.

Love your podcasts 🌟 Congrats for the 100k subs

I am sure not all of the chinese girls are all the same like this. for example you look someone not like this eillein thanks for the video :)

100k! 恭喜恭喜，爱林 ☺️☺️☺️

Ocean king is a new word for me. I'm impressed by your effort to teach us mandarin

It's not that I would go out of my way to date a Chinese girl, but I wouldn't avoid it either. There are always cultural differences that can cause misunderstandings, but if you are open minded and learn about that culture, most misunderstandings can be minimized. Plus, each person is different, and we should treat everyone as an individual, not as a stereotype.

That guy sounds so funny that it makes me laugh even though I can barely understand what he is saying.

Excellent video. I am still HSK1 level or even more novice than that. But it was a topic I was curious about. And I found out that the downside to dating Chinese women is the downside to dating women from any culture or country. I think these traits are common with all women regardless of where they are from. If you deeply care about the woman you are dating, then I think the guy will tolerate your flaws and focus on remaining loyal to her. All the other things don't matter as much for him

If you've watched more than 3 minutes, please, remember you are not alone. Ask for help, we can talk you out of your troubles

Not sure why you guys think this is only limited to chinese. Learning to cook, clean. Earn money, work hard for family, take care of gf. These are all shared things in every country. You should see chinese girls really are not any different than normal girls everywhere else.

If the girl likes you. You should date her. I am married to a Chinese girl from HK, first love was a mixed Chinese girl from Singapore. Mandarin speaking Chinese from Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China are all quite different. I gea

GF and I were on good terms and I was doing some work halfway around the world. Then I couldn't reach her for 3 months. I was so happy to finally hear from her. Sometimes petty people may be jealous. May she has a guy friend she trusts and he uses her phone to send the BF fake messages that look like they came from her?🤔 This did happen. The only way I onew it wasn't her sending them, even though they came from her phone, was message content, conversational tone, words and phrases she normally uses and how she uses them. I'm guilty of letting people use my phone in the past as well. Never again. Who do you need to call? I will call them for you. What do you need from them? 😎 It happened more than once, though. So we came up with a way to know if it's us. There are many ways, actually. Most don't take relationships to this extreme. But neither of us would ever do anything to betray the other. We told our friends about it. But not what it is or how we do it. We haven't had any issues since, and may finally be getting married soon. It was supposed to be last year. But the pandemic prevented that. Cross your fingers and say some prayers for us that it will happen this year. I love you, "H2". ♥️♥️🙏🍀🦄💎👑😇

There's a Chinese saying "男人不坏，女人不爱" it's basically the same as nice guys finish last, and girls love bad boys. The root issue is that if the man is soft and a pushover, he won't be respected, and will be less attractive. In a society of gender equality, man and woman has EQUAL right to do what makes them happy. If the man doesn't stand up to defend his right, then that's the most unattractive type of man. The relationship is doom to fail because one day the man will burn out and instead of being dominated, they'll just divorce or in some cases he might do something regrettable.

really nice work! I loved this format 👏👏

Single life for me! Also congrats on a well-deserved 100k!

Yes. Filipino guy, btw.

NOT ALLOW!

我很喜欢你的频道。说到内容的话，很丰富啊

I am currently dating a Chinese woman, I am American by the way learning Chinese for both our sake, and she is like this somewhat but I adorable her regardless of her childish streak lol. I actually welcome it.

You should have answered her:" You're too beautiful to wear that thing"

100% yes. I dated and met quite a few in college and they were pretty independent but maybe they're different since they're willing to travel outside their homeland and comfort zone. Pretty sure there are a good number of high maintenance or difficult women in every country.
