In your opinion, do you think young Chinese men are materialistic? Do they prefer someone rich over someone who is kind?

@massivedaikon For Chinese girl , absolutely yes! For Chinese men, appearance is as much important.
There're too many sad news in China that poor kind people got harmed. But rich people always have chance to show his complaisance to win girls' heart.

No, I don't think so. People love someone who's kind.

chinese proverb: neither riches nor honours can lead one astray.

Trying to reduce "Chinese men" or "Chinese women" to a single incarnation is literally trying to generalize 1.4 billion samples of 56 ethnicities to one person...

Those who claim "people tend to be materialistic" are actually commenting themselves or at least people in his circles, just for your information.

Yes, everywhere is the same.

I think this is a pervasive problem not only in China but also in other countries.

Let's say Chinese in general are more superficial than Westerners, or our neighbors Koreans and Japanese. And I'm quite certain of my assertion.

@cnnewt61 想太多

in China, poor people and rich have absolutely different lives. You know many Chinese buy luxuries in other countries, while poor people don't have the chance to go abroad at all. If one lives in rural areas, I mean countryside in some relatively developed regions, where the difference between rich and poor is not so significant, one may not be so materialistic. But if one lives in a big city, one will see others consuming in the way one cannot believe, then one would never be happy. Especially when one has a child, it costs lots money, the child won't feel happy either when other students talk about luxuries, good restaurants or travels their parents cannot afford.
