In LKF, but with a decent married guy, one of the good 50%. Go Gav, you are a winner!
Last week some friends and I were out and about, out on the town enjoying a few drinks, some nibbles and then heading off for a wee dance.
After more than a few hours on the dance floor (try around 4 and a half by this stage), we had meet a few guys and there was one particular groover that caught my friends eye. He started dancing with us, they started talking and then went off to a quieter spot so they could properly chat (no funny business involved).
They were having great conversation, found out they knew mutual people in Hong Kong and she even gave him her number. He messaged her as soon as she got home and being in this day in age, things looked promising, maybe a few dates might ensue.
Living in the technological world that we live in and with the Facebook era staring us in the face at every turn, my friend (a few drinks under her belt), entered in his name and as they had a mutual friend could see his information and photos. Imagine her surprise when she saw that his information read: MARRIED!!!!!
After living in Hong Kong for a few months I have this theory about the men here:
50% of men live here - Half of those are married with young families or came here with girlfriends. The other half are the gross men who are here to do what the men that I dealt with in China were there to do - meet young asian girls, frequent the lady bars and get whatever they can get. G.R.O.S.S!!!!
The other 50% are tourists or businessmen - here for a good time, not a long time.
Can you see our real single girl dilemma!
This brings me back to the married man situation. Not that I have had many instances with men here, but on a few ventures into Lang Kwai Fong - the bar street famous for tourists and cheap happy hour specials - we have had some great times and conversations with some men. They seemed great and very interested until one of my friends spotted a wedding ring -
'Are you married?'
'Argh, ummmmmmm, hmmmm.......'
I mean seriously. This has happened twice and now this being the third time in 3 months - what are we supposed to think??? And people wonder why we have issues with trust. We see this on a regular basis - men supposedly married to the best thing that has ever happened to them - and they are out hitting on and trying to get in to the pants of other women!
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!?
How stupid was this other guy who gave his name and number to my friend and even when he discovered they had mutual friends, still kept up the facade and contacted her, keeping his wedding ring on his pinky finger - what a fruitcake!
In this day in age and with technology as it is - How dumb can men, well.......boys, be?
Trust issues - our issues or caused by theirs?
I know that this situation is slightly isolated to this part of the world, however, when will WE meet some real men that will not drive us out onto the streets and on the speaker phone with our girlfriends yelling-
OH, MY, GOD........HE'S MARRIED!!!!!!!!!
I know some real men are out there because I know some....they just don't live in Hong Kong!
Love RSG xo
