Looks, Money, Status

In my opinion the younger ones are. The older ones are looking for a serious guy with goals. Guys with stability.I've seen many ugly guys with some fine Chinese ladies so looks are not as important as personality, stability and a sense of humor.

I find that it depends on how they were raised. I still believe that the majority of Chinese women want a man who is hard-working, stable, not a heavy drinker, a family man, responsible, and keeps his word.

In my opinion, not looks. Just money and status. If you can provide them with an iphone, you're set. My friends gf once said to him, she wanted 'house, car, baby' in that order. Even though his work provided him with a beautiful house, it wasn't good enough if he wanted to marry her. She would always say 'but when we are married, where will we live?' One of the conditions of marriage was that he bought a house.
Hence she is now his ex.

A House is a must. A car is optional and a baby is a must for her parents. If you can't at least by a house, then your chances are not good.

Just out of curiousity, who dumped who mPRrin? If your friend was the dumper, good for him! If it was her, he's better off without her!

I'm sure you can find anecdotes to support all kinds of theories about Chinese ladies. There are a lot of them, and I'm sure, given the many regions and tribes that they are a diverse group in terms of their tastes and preferences. For dating and early 'love', looks and charm probably play a bigger part than when choosing a husband, when practical matters of family & lifestyle may come to the fore. What we as foreigners (who tend to do more or less as we please) sometimes underestimate is the importance of parents opinions in Chinese culture. Having said that, my girlfriend bucks this stereotype, she doesn't just do what her parents tell her, and her parents have long since given up trying to make her.

If you can't make a baby, your chances aren't good.

By order of importance what I noticed most in China:
1) baby
2) car = status (and money)
3) job = money
4) house

Glad I met my wife... hahahaha

I disagree.
1-Job
2-house
3-car
4-baby (If you get that far. Ha.ha.)

The biggest concern is stability for having a baby. Which means a home without a loan, and a stable job. If you also don't drink, gamble, and smoke then you will have no problems.

Unfortunately you aren't going to find a home at a reasonable price in a big city here. Only if you're from New York or London you might think the prices are only a little insane instead of downright ridiculous.
