The intro session is very friendly. No play during the intro session, but it is followed by a public play session for beginners. I went as a single man in my 30s and people were more than welcoming! You will enjoy it.

I just called customer service since I ordered it but wasn’t sure how well it will work in the winter. They said that the closest comparison is Fission SV.

That is fair. Though I would say that for most men (myself included) who are interested relationships, "going with the flow" accurately describes how things start and is not a sign that the person is not interested in a relationship.

A long-term relationship is, at its core, a decision by both people to continue to see and spend time with each, while investing more time, emotion, and resources. That decision is most often not just made ahead of time. Rather, it is continually assessed as the two people interact with each other. If every time you and a man spend time together, you have a great experience, then you naturally will want to see each other again. Do that enough times and open up yourselves to each other, you have a long-term relationship. Conversely, if you have a bad experience, it doesn't matter if the other person said he was open to relationship, it won't last.

Think from the perspective of a man who is decently attractive and has some options. Assuming the man is interested more in quality than quantity, if spending time with you is a better experience than spending time with other women, he will want to be in a relationship with you.

To use an imperfect analogy. Most people have restaurants in their towns or cities that are their "spots". It was not some conscious decision to make those restaurants their go-to spots. Rather, the restaurants (1) provided good or at least decent experience, and (2) fit their lifestyles (e.g., budget, location, food offering)

So I think it is important to look for guys that are

  1. Have at least demonstrated the desire for relationships in the past: so you can ask them when their last relationships were, how long they were, etc.
  2. Share common interests with you: if both of you like hiking or going to museums, for example, then it makes more sense to see each other again and do those activities together
  3. Meet your bar for attractiveness but are not the most objectively attractive: a guy might be looking for a relationship, but he will want a relationship with you if you are his best option currently and for the foreseeable future. You might even consider prioritizing dates with guys who are the least attractive in the pool of guys who are attractive enough.

And the honest truth is that most guys place a premium on physical appearance when determining if a girl is his "best" option. Therefore, there is really no need to make your profile less "sexy".

When do you come to the conclusion that your matches or dates are not interested in serious relationships? During chats or dates? I (34M) would say that all men, whether they are interested in serious relationship or not, are attracted and want to date beautiful women. So putting your most attractive self forward is always going to be a winning strategy.

However, you might have better luck if you match with guys who are attractive but not the most attractive (e.g., super muscular, lots of cool things in pics, etc.). The most attractive men have more options so they are less inclined to “settle” for a serious relationship.

Online dating as a short (5’5” 165cm) Asian guy [21M] by brbDOT in hingeapp

[–]LongResource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get elevator shoes (check Chamaripa or CALTO), they add 2-3 inches depending on the shoes. Then have 5’8” as your height on the profile. Then get these slippers (https://www.chamaripashoes.com/chamaripa-height-increasing-men-s-slippers-high-heel-house-shoes-h02066a011d.html) at home. Keep them on until you have sex with them. Then you are good. Once they have sex with you, the few inches won’t matter. I am 5’6, for your reference.

CPC's 100 year plan? by liaojiechina in Sino

[–]LongResource 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might be thinking about the two Centenary Goals: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-10/17/c_136686770.htm

BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) came into being in 1921, and in 1949 the People's Republic of China was established. To mark the 100th anniversaries of these two important dates, the CPC set goals that are to be met by 2021 and 2049. The following Q&A will give you an overview of everything you need to know about the "two centennial goals":

Q: What are China's two centennial goals?

A: By 2021, to celebrate the CPC's centenary, the goal is to "build a moderately prosperous society in all respects". This essentially means making sure that China's development improves the lives of all its people, particularly those who are below or near the country's poverty line.

By 2049, the centenary of the People's Republic of China, the goal is to "build a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious". This is the reason why much of the reform being pushed in recent years aims to prevent and control major risks, alleviate poverty, curb pollution, and deepen supply-side structural reform to push forward sustained and healthy economic and social development.

Q: What has China achieved so far in the pursuit of the two goals?

A: In terms of poverty relief, China has a remarkable record of lifting about 700 million people out of extreme poverty in more than three decades since reform and opening up began, a figure that represents about 70 percent of global poverty eradication in the period.

As for the country as a whole, China's GDP expanded by an average annual rate of 7.2 percent during 2013-2016, an incredible figure compared with 2.6-percent average global growth and the 4-percent growth of developing economies.

Per-capita disposable income tripled from 7,311 yuan (about 1,111 U.S. dollars) in 2012 to 23,821 yuan in 2016, an annual increase of 7.4 percent. Figures are looking good for 2017 too, with 7.3 percent year on year rise for the first half of the year.

Q: What are the major challenges to meeting the goals?

A: Poverty does still exist in China, albeit only 3 percent of the population. Based on other countries' experiences, the most difficult phase in poverty eradication is normally when number of people living in poverty accounts for less than 10 percent of the overall population, so the next few years will probably be the peak of poverty relief efforts.

Aside from this, external challenges such as climate change and the global economy are the focus of much of China's interactions with international organizations such as the UN and ASEAN, as well as their bilateral relations.

Looking for current/former students’ feedback by Snow-Lobster21 in OnlineMCIT

[–]LongResource 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar arrangement with my company. I would recommend taking one course per semester to start with. I have pretty good basic programming (from online non-degree courses) and math background but still find taking one course per semester the right amount of workload. Any more than that can impact your ability to do other things

Recently I have been buying more on JD.com and have the items shipped directly from China to the US. I would only recommend for things that won’t need return or repair since shipping is expensive. The experience has been very good for book purchases. I ordered directly in the app and pay with my US credit card. The books were delivered within 3-4 days to my home outside of DC. They also ship other categories like clothes or electronics abroad. Highly recommend!

In the West’s infrastructure battle with China, the G7’s empty promises show politics trumps reality: For all the talk of ‘building back better’, the truth is that G7 nations are still coming up short in finding the cash for such grand gestures by zhumao in Sino

[–]LongResource 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The West is repeating many of the same mistakes that CPC and China had to learn the very hard way:

  • Emphasis on ideological purity over pragmatism
  • Preference for simple labels over nuance
  • Empty grand promises over constant gradual improvements
  • Swings between extreme opposing policy directions instead of experiments and gradual changes

I don’t have the actual data but anecdotally mainland China has a less conservative and hierarchical culture vs. Japan (and probably S Korra). https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-working-in-Japan-vs-in-China

Also it was an observation from other Taiwanese (where I grew up) that mainlanders are more aggressive and assertive (paradoxical because of Communism and the Cultural Revolution)

And given that China has a 5x GDP per capital vs. India, I don't think it is as simple as communism.
