wow ad ... that was some news.. i seriously had no idea... .. well i still have'nt started college..
anyways..
doesnt matter her being a troll or not.. for now.. its good . its a busy thread.. and it just started..//
(well i dont feel like an outsider here..hehe.. and dont have to read 20 + pages to know whats going on..)
so lets just let it be.. and lets see what new character comes up in here and stirs something up...,
<yeah>,
anyways yamcha i still believe that a girl taking all the pressure means that society is still way inconsistent .. (not doing good to the worlds developement)..
i am a boy and live in india . trust me ive seen some pretty weird ass stuff people wouldnt believe..
i still cant believe that even when you and your fiance(?!) are SO HIGHLY educated that means your families too.. you would still say things about have to live with it.. you are one person who is flushing your education down the t****t AGAIN I MEAN NO OFFENSE JUST MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS

Groink is right, but she posted a valid topic in Life & Relationships. Her posts are well written.
If she posted a lot lately, this means she has no life. But this is valid for a lot of people on the Internet. It's a rule rather than an exception.
I don't agree that she has a low self-esteem but that's not a crime.
I do find it strange that she agreed to marry the guy before meeting him. She will have to sleep with him. Even prostitutes look at their client before ... you know.. servicing him. But then again, the dude has a restaurant. Girls in Thailand do it for much less.
There's nothing wrong with being a prostitute. They exist in every country. I don't think that women who date Donald Trump date him because they love him. It's all cash. I personally, respect them, ho... sexual workers. For a few dollars they make us happy.
So let's stop the negativity and be happy for our friend, because she scored a guy with a restaurant ... and she is going to fall in love with him.
(... Hmm, i remember, when i occasionally go to hostess clubs girls also tell me they love me and ask me when i am going to come again. Oh ladies, you fall in love so fast..)

Ad: I received my Masters in Philosophy. Research Area: Legal Ethics - Concentration in the Canadian Criminal Justice System and rsearched with the Law Reform Commission of Canada. I chose not to pursue a Doctorate in Philosophy - so yes, there is such a thing as a PHD in Philosophy. However, I highly doubt yamcha's "fiance" has his PHD in Philosophy because: 1) Very few people pursue it and 2) People who pursue it don't go back home and take over the family restaurant business - they rather do research and lecture.
Yamcha is a definite troll - I've read her other posts (some of them were quite racist). Seriously, I never even heard of people in Hong Kong getting involved in arranged marriages! I'm originally from Hong Kong and this is the first time I even heard about it. Being set up on a date is not the same as an arranged marriage - just plain silly.
For some odd reason, I feel that yamcha's situation sound like it's taken from an Asian drama...lol...

That's exactly what i meant. Not so many people get doctorate in actual Philosophy.

i haven't read the forum for half a year or more so i don't know her track record. Her posts in this thread and personal information seem to be consistent. As for arranged marriages, I heard stories about indian guys going for 3 weeks back to India and coming back married to girls they hadn't met before.
Most likely you are right and she just dreamed up the marriage thing where there is only a
set-up date.
If her personal info is correct than she just came back from the US, doesn't have friends
in HK, only worked for a year or two. She spends her free time on this board and dreams
about a prince with a PhD in Philosophy to come and save her from boredom.
Man, i feel bad for her. I should probably go delete all my posts. This board is probably is the only good thing she has in life and we are being mean to her.

Actually it is pretty consistent with her a bit funny english. |
What is wrong with my english? And I have plenty of friends and family in HK. I grew up mostly in the states but we went back to HK every Summer and I spent two years going to school at St. Ellis Kadoori and then Kong Kong Island School.
I do not come from a poor family and I am not marrying for wealth.
I made a lot of posts because manny people didn't understand why and I wanted to make an effort in explaining my choices.
If I am seen as so distasteful here then I will not post anymore, simple.

i guess i have a question, what was your motivation? it was kind of like HEY HERE I AM AND IM GETTING MARRIED - LETS TALK ABOUT IT LIKE YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND.
its not impossible its true, but if you are not seeing the fact it seems like BS, you are not trying. plus you have some strange inconsistencies in your answers which suggest you are lying, or maybe just exaggerating.
people shouldnt say F OFF! or something like that but you have to understand the board has to be self policing, if a strange topic comes up that seems like its made up, its almost like the board members are being made fun of, and if this is true often, a board like this is a waste of time._________________ Please visit my homepage!

I do not see where I am contradicting myself and I do not have any ulterior motives. I simply posted because I felt really happy, perhaps a little bit of anxiety. I feel that I do not need to respond to people who bash me. I do not know any of them. I just felt happy thats all and I wanted to share some of my life here, considering this is a asian drama/culture forum.
The short answer is that I was just feeling really happy.

Life & Relationships is a trolling forum by definition.
Everybody here seems to be pissed at yamcha. So i went and read her previous posts.
Perhaps, i am more tolerant than most of you guys. I don't think she is a racist. I think you guys are judging her from the position of multi-cultural America or Europe. And she is no more troll than any teenager on myspace.
I remember i read a long and interesting discussion on japantoday forum about whether or not the Japanese are racist. Lots of people who lived in Japan contributed to it. The conclusion was that Japanese are not racist but xenophobic. They don't think that gaijins are
worse than them but they will never accept you as one of theirs even if you live in Japan for decades, learn the language and get the citizenship.
The same is valid for China only to a lesser extent. You can't blame somebody who grew
up in China for being a bit xenophobic because so is everybody else. I have met educated Chinese women who said their would marry only Chinese guys because they wanted their kids to be Chinese. I can't blame them. Even here in America some 50 ago racial segregation was normal.
Somehow i genuinely believe that that yamcha's posts are not made up and truly represent who she is, a confused 20-year old girl.
But i agree that everybody should stop feeding her because her views are so different from the views of other people on this board that it is almost impossible to bridge the gap.
It is like trying to explain an African cannibal why he should not eat people. He would say: "Why not? They are delicious!"

The purpose of posting to public forums, period, is to obtain advice. That's simply it. Regarding the Life & Relationships forum, it is created for people to obtain advice from what he views as his peers (ex: likes Asian dramas, so the community must have similar views about life & relationships.) It is the assumption of the readers that by posting in this forum, the poster is looking for advice.
Regarding yamacha's post, the context and vibe in her first few posts do not fit the expected criteria of a post you would expect in the L&R forum. That to me is the real problem here. As ad mentioned, places like MySpace is designed for people who are looking for attention because they're more likely aren't getting it at home. He didn't mention YouTube, but I think YouTube is filled with attention-fetching people. I mean, why would you videotape yourself expressing your personal feelings? Just watch most of the videos there - they're nothing but exhibitionists. yamacha's post is basically a video-less, written exhibition - a plea for people to react to her. If she had people around her or cared about her feelings on matters, she wouldn't have created this topic in the first place. I truly believe that because if she was able to speak to friends about her glee, she should've been satisfied with their feedback, and the issue is closed.
If people like yamacha realize what they're doing, then maybe they can either re-think what they're actually posting, seek counseling, or do something to draw a brick wall between their real life and cyber life. Personally I hate exhibitionism, and this form of expression should not be condoned on D-Addicts.

I just realized who this yamcha is (thanks to Nea) and recall a few of her posts in the korean discussion forums.
. Most girls of 16+ gets married to 25+ male.
