A friend took me to palm reading for fun in Temple Street. Yes, the haven for senior prostitutes, fake stuff, mices and bugs. And the palm reader told me how to attain this happy life of mine. That is, according to her, "Gain 20 pounds". And, "Get long hair".
Wow!
That's too insightful.
She gave me a lecture, "You are too strong. Men won't like you. The meaning of a happy life (for a woman) is to have a man who's rich, and give you all the luxuries you want. And he loves you so much."
HK girls looked and talked like a modernised, westernised woman on the outside. But in their bones, they still look for a "marry up" fortune, a meal ticket (Girls have the consent to keep it a secret from men. But I think men know or believe they know, but just silently accept that).
Look at the Asian or Chinese girls who try to hook up not-so-cute gweilos, or vice versa (I'm not trying to be harsh, but some of these qweilos wasn't so popular in their own country). If people blamed these gweilos for exploiting Asian or Chinese girls like a king, I think somehow those girls make themselves into these "products" (Plastic surgeries, small-size bras that squeezes any possible flesh together, etc.) I'm not saying these girls are wrong. They know what they want. (Besides, most women don't want to be a career woman.)
After all, it's demand and supply.
I asked the palm reader, "WHY 20 pounds?"
Her assumptions were, men like girls with long hair (That's why you can see it in almost all HK girl - same style, same madeup, and pursuing that sick standard figure. That makes them look "lovely" and unoffensive to HK men). And, being a bit plump will look wealthier, since most "Tai Tai" of rich husbands look that way.
She continued, "Listen to me, don't waste yourself ! You can have some man who take care of you for the rest of your life." "It's up to you to choose between career (which means "nothing" for her) and a rich husband."
So I asked the palm reader, "How much is it?" "HK$150."
I choose to pay and leave.
