Wow Chatbox, you sure have a lot of requirements just for meeting someone!

>doesn't drink like a fish (if you don't understand this last part, then you're very likely not the kind I'm hoping for)

Haha.

Good luck. And perhaps you can copy and paste what it says so ppl here can read it as well.

Edit:
Hey, if you really want to meet new people, go "chern K" with a group of friends.

if you can't find someone here local then what you think of the chances you'll find one there?? very slim, plus cost a lot of money to go have a date in hong kong. lol.

well I can't read Chinese (CBC) but I highly doubt you would want to go to a club/karaoke to meet a girl. Unless you were looking for short-term fun, my experiences at clubs is that girls that are picked up there are picked up quite frequently. Pretty "chui been" (i.e. easy)... :(

If you want to meet a girl and develop a meaningful relationship, meet friends of friends. Your circle of friends and colleagues are most likely people that have intrinsic values that appeal to you and chances are their friends have similiar characteristics. Just be more social and join any large group parties and social events.

Good luck chat...

If you speak fluent English, you'll likely drive a lot of them away. Try speaking English at a retail store. It's a hilarious scene!

You think so but they actually teach english in the high schools over there.
Unlike here the canadian school system except for quebec only teaches you how to speak 1 language fluently.
and no our french classes dont count... they seem to only be there to humour the multicultural laws that were passed...

I did post a few times just few days after my arrival (around 10th of Jan), guess you missed that. (check my posting history...)

Now, about meeting new people from my circle of friends here in HK. That's not going to work since the only friend I know here is my ex-gf (first gf, Chinese). Don't know anyone else. Looks like I'll have to start all over again.

flashing a canadian passport is not gonna do jack.. espeically in the central "lan kwai fong" area.

and a wad of cash is not gonna do much there either since 90% of the men there have a lot of it too.

you gotta rely on you "people skills" to make it there :lol:

but there are a lot of hotties in lan kwai fong, and they are there for a good time and dont really care about your nationality (as long as you are not a mainlander) and they arent looking for long term stuff there anyways so money is not an issue but of course you gotta spend while you are there still.

speaking of which, hey chatbox is there anywhere like really cheap to stay for like a week that you know of? hostel etc. cuz i was planning a vacation there and am on a really tight budget. and good luck with chick hunting, go for the HK movie actress

cheapest rates i've seen is like 80cdn a nite in decent location (mong kwok) at B.P. international or if you can go further, you can goto panda hotel in tsuen wan

hostels arent cheap at all in hkg. so you might as well go for a lower rate hotel

Do you work there in HK, chatbox? Or you are doing nothing there? You gotta have some colleagues to expand your network from there even if your colleagues are not pretty. :P

Join something. Course, workshop, whatever man. Or try the speed-dating thing. They have that in HK, last I heard

Anyway, just putting in my 2-cents, I'm going to hong kong for a few days in May and there are quite a few hostels there, some with decent pricing. . . (some look worse than others of course).

Try:

but seriously, u can try socializing in Lan Kwai Fong. lotsa pubs there.

or the most direct way to go around it is by hanging out with a cousin's group of friends and see if they have any friends they can introduce you to.

Cheap? Not really - I think there's a YMCA youth hostel around, but transport is gonna cost ya. Going to work in Hong Kong, I used like $10 a day (and this is with the pre-paid discounted Octopus card system)

Used to be Chung King Mansions on Nathan Road, about as cheap as you're going to get. Not even sure if they're still there, last time I went was 1994. There is also a place like it across the street. I figured if I ever died in a horrible fire, it would be at Chung King Mansions.

Hey, I'll be your friend chatbox - but I'm not in HK. :razz: Some good places to meet people are at school, church, volunteering, from other friends. Excercise and meet new people by taking a class like yoga, tai chi, cycling workshop, etc. Or join a club in something your interested in. Another good way to meet people is if you have a cute dog. People will come up to you and chat with you. Hope that helps. Good Luck :)

come to Taiwan, flash your Canadian passport and tonz of xiojia's will follow U hoping to get off dis island before China nukez it, but jokez aside, as hot as the HK gurls are, I think competition pretty stiff there, no pun intended,

Here's my actual message on the HK message board:
Here's something about myself:
Genetically Chinese, 169cm in height, around 62kg in weight, wear glasses. All in all, a fairly typical looking Chinese guy (age 25).
Spent 11 years in the UK since I was 12. Then a further 2 years in Toronto (Canada). I am both a British Citizen (not BNO) and a Canadian Citizen, also hold a HK ID card. Graduated from UK in 2002 with a Bachelor Degree in Software Engineering. Hobbies including, but not limited to, chess, computing, rugby, cycling, movies and music. Able to speak both English and Cantonese fluently, can read Chinese (limited) but can't write it.

Here's what I'm looking for from a female friend to hang out with:
Energetic, sporty, independent. Doesn't smoke, doesn't swear and doesn't drink like a fish (if you don't understand this last part, then you're very likely not the kind I'm hoping for)...and doesn't do drugs. Someone who's fairly well educated, worldly, has friends of different cultures from different parts of the world. Not looking for a typical HK-Chinese girl who can't even sprint the 100metres without dying, nor a girl who thinks 55kg for a 5ft6 girl is "fat/overweight", also, not looking for a gold-digger (not implying I have a lot or any of that though).

Not exactly sure if this is the right forum to post such a topic, but it's worth a shot. Also, this post does not only apply to Chinese. If you're French, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Polish, African-American...etc, you can still reply. I'm up for meeting/knowing anyone interesting.

So, I'm not really looking for a typical asian girl (whatever "typical" is) at all.
Guess I'm not going to have much luck here. Hum...Maybe I should flash my British passport as well (not BNO at all :cheesygri ).

do u have a job in HK yet? It is a good idea to start with co-workers' their firends.

Not looking for a typical HK-Chinese girl who can't even sprint the 100metres without dying, nor a girl who thinks 55kg for a 5ft6 girl is "fat/overweight"

Actually clubs aren't all that bad. I used to be totally against it until I met my girl there. I met her at a club, then it turned out we were in the same program at the same school. Just that she was one year older...

So really, I'm so happy with her right now. We've been seeing each other for a few months, she's so smart (we're talking 90s in one of the hardest programs in university), she's beautiful, she knows how to dress, she's loyal (above all), she's funny and great to be with. So many benefits, and she's a keeper.

Don't let people get you down, you can meet people in any situation. I mean look at the Korean movie "My Sassy Girl", subways are the way to pick up ;)

Feb 15th, 2005, 02:17 PM

personally, I think posting on a forum wont help you much.
1) over 70-80% (could be 90%)of the forum users are male.
2) those females who go on forums a lot are not hot because they have no dates so they need to stay at home and go online
3) even if theres a hot girl she wont go out with someone who posted a paragraph online because she has better guys to go out with
4) I heard too much internet dating scams in the news so tough luck getting one.

My suggestions is, if you have any friends in HK, or even coworkers, just start from them and expend your network from there. Yes it takes time but nothing much you can do. Or you can just wait for a reply on the forums and meet up some geek girls, but then again, just start expending your network from them :lol:
