Asian Girls' Take on Gold Diggers and Marrying Rich
Asian girls, in their homeland, often (but not always) have a completely different perspective on 'gold digging.' This change in perception is not something that should be quickly judged and dismissed, but that requires a little more understanding.
In the west, the term 'gold digger' or gold digging' as applied towards dating and marriage usually has a negative connotation. We look down upon gold diggers. We talk about them as these despicable people that have no heart and only care about money. A girl doesn't want to be labeled in this way, and will often hide her intentions. Affluent or rich Men are often warned to watch out for gold diggers.
In some Asian countries, the cultural stigma associated with gold digging is very much reduced, sometimes it's actually reversed. In these places, and societies, it's a basic understanding that a woman wants to marry a succesful man. Parents and family want a girl to settle down with a man that can provide for her and any future children without difficulties. In short, they want her to be happy.
Sometimes, the women who land rich succesful husbands are idolized, not stigmatized like they often are in the west. The friends and family all look up to these women and are proud of them. There is usually no negative view towards this rather common sense approach towards dating and marriage. Everyone seems to understand and expect that it should be this way. In many ways, Asian girls are simple, straight forward, and very practical in choosing potential mates.
So don't be surprised when you move to Asia and find gold diggers, and a cultural acceptance of gold digging. This is just a different, and somewhat more honest approach towards dating. I believe, most in the west also understand this, but cannot openly admit or practice this sort of philosophy.
