4 FASCINATING ASIAN SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE

We have all heard at least one crazy Asian superstition or belief. As an example, in some parts of Asia it is believed that you should never keep a pet turtle because they will slow down your fortunes. Myths, superstitions and urban legends are a part of the everyday life for most Asian households. Beliefs are passed down from one generation to the next. Some beliefs have a scientific basis while others are just plain strange. Here are a couple of the crazy Asian superstitions about love and marriage.

Don’t give shoes as a gift to a lover. 

Asian women and men both love shoes but in Asia it is believed that if you give your lover a pair of shoes it means that she will run away from you and that will be the end to your fairy tale love story. There is a small loop around this belief though. If your lover has been eyeing a nice pair of shoes for a while and you want to buy them then ask for your partner to give you a small sum of money back. It can even be 2 cents but it’s still as if you sold them to her.

For the married women – wear rings on both of your ring fingers.

This is a Chinese superstition that says that if you are a married woman you must wear rings on both of your wedding ring fingers to ensure that your husband will always love you and will never ever run away with another woman. It is said that it’s best if one ring is made of gold and the other of jade.

There is also a version for single people that says if you want to meet the love of your life soon, you need to wear a yellow gold ring on your right index finger that you can transfer to your right middle finger to make sure a proposal will follow.

Witnessing a solar eclipse with your lover means your love will last forever.

In Asia rings have a lot of superstitions revolving around them. It is mainly because a circle goes on forever and there is no beginning or end to it. In several parts of Asia, it is believed that if you and your partner get to witness a full solar eclipse together and you can see the full corona you will stay together forever. Note how this event can be a great date idea.

Dreaming of finding a snake means meeting your soul mate.

This belief is for singles. If a single person has a dream of finding a snake fret not because it means something positive. In parts of Asia people believe that it means you will soon find the love of your life and step into a new era of your life. Beware though, if you see a black snake in a dream and it tries to bite you or choke you, it means that something terrible is going to happen.

This concludes our list of interesting Asian superstitions but more can be found online. Come back soon for more articles on the Asian dating culture.

4 UPSIDES ABOUT DATING A CHINESE WOMAN

A lot of people have a fascination with the Oriental cultures. The women from that part of the world have always been the center of attention to western men. When we say Orient or Far East what we typically mean is China, Korea and Japan. There are similarities in these cultures and the physical attributes of the women who all have their own unique style and then there are things that set them apart. In this article we focus on what are some of the perks to dating a Chinese woman.

Perk no.1 – Chinese women are very sweet 

The Chinese culture is ancient, almost as old as history itself and in this culture, unfortunately the women are not as respected as the men. Because of this fact women have developed a way to cope and that is their mentality of being sweet, adorable and cute in order to be liked and also to get their way. This has gone on for a long period of time and has reached the modern era where it has finally become very natural to them. Whenever she needs something from you she will ask it the nicest and most adorable way possible so it is difficult to turn her down. One is very lucky to be in a relationship with someone like that.

Perk no.2 – They Cook Very Well

Who doesn’t love someone who can cook? Chinese families raise their daughters to be very knowledgeable about cooking and every family has their own signature dish as well as secrets they hand down through the generations. You will definitely be impressed with what your adorable Chinese girl can make in the kitchen. You will get addicted to her amazing meals and won’t be missing the take-out from your local Chinese restaurant back home.

Perk no.3 – Perfect Genes. She Will Look Young

There is something amazing about the Chinese genes that is expressed in how the people seem to age incredibly well. It is thought that it has something to do with how healthy this nation has been eating since the dawn of ages and it’s probably true. Also it is very popular with the Chinese to exercise and pay regular visits to the doctor to check up on their health. Your partner may be 35 but she will look like she’s 20 and it will go on for a while. Her beauty will last longer than her western counterparts beauty.

Perk no.4 – She Wants Your Approval

The Chinese culture values hospitality probably higher than any other nation on the planet. That is why guests are treated with the utmost respect in Chinese homes. This trait will translate into how the Chinese women are naturally eager to please. They were raised in a culture where women are expected to be caring and serve. There is a downside to this that may be difficult for you to get used to – she may not voice her own opinion enough and you may be at a loss of what her own preferences may be.

3 GOOD REASONS TO DATE ASIAN WOMEN

Like with all differing cultures in the East and West, women from different parts tend to be desirable in their own very unique way. There are perks to dating women from each part of the world but in this article we are focusing on dating women from Asia.

Asian ladies are cultured and educated

Asian women if they live in the cities get a good education and have access to learning about culture. You will never run out of things to talk to them about. Not only that. The Asian culture is still very traditional and women are raised to be well behaved and well mannered. They know their way around the household since they were brought up to take care of it. Asian women can be a great mixture of a loving homebody and a well educated wife and mother.

Though more women are climbing on the corporate ladder most still state that they are very interested in settling down and starting a family.

Asian ladies have timeless looks

All Asians have to hear the question how they stay so skinny even though they eat carbs (noodles, rice and so forth) most of the time. The secret is in the Asian metabolism. Most of them are born with a very fast one and that makes them burn excess calories very fast. Another reason is that they are very active and typically always on the go (walking, running or working out). That helps with maintaining their metabolism and their looks.

Another thing is the genes they have for looks. Asian people age very well and everyone wonders what is their secret. It lies in eating well and taking care of your health. Something that is natural and expected in Asia.

Asian ladies show commitment

There is nothing more important in Asia than family. A close second is work but family always comes first. Children are brought up to respect their elders and people always consider advice from their family. Taking care of each other is an absolute priority. This is what gets Western guys want to date Asian women. They will bring the same commitment into the family they create on their own. Loyalty and commitment comes of course when the man has respect for her. Lying, cheating and abuse is unacceptable. Treat her well and have a happy home life forever.
