- While Hong Kong people in general are very sophisticated, there are
- some areas which demonstrated their shallowness. And this so called
- "ambiguous" behavior is one of them. It borderlines on childish
- immature behavior and just shows how out-dated some of the Hong Kong
- women are. (Of course, if a woman just want flirting, then the
- "ambiguous" behavior is appropriate. In that case, the man who wants
- to propose to the woman is just an idiot.)
-
- In today's gender equal society, people recognize women also have
- needs and desire just as men. Thus, a more successful strategy for
- both genders, not just female, is to broadcast his/her attractive
- aspects to attract potential candidates.
-
- Thus, it is no longer a matter of who chase whom, but a matter of
- people coming together on a mutual appreciative equal footing. In
- other words, if a man shows interest in a woman and after a while the
- woman still does not give a go ahead signal, a smart man would just
- move on to another candidate.

- There is a saying that goes something like "When you are dating, you
- should be guided by your head. When you are married, you should be
- guided by your heart."
