Chinese Price Waterhouse Coopers auditors dance!

After watching this video from a Price Waterhouse Coopers employee event in Beijing last fall, we wondered if we had been misjudging Beijing men all these years. Were they really softies at heart?

So we did a little research and found this report on Xinhuanet. It's from March 2005. Interestingly, it rates the most charming men in China. Basically the no-doubt-based-on-scientific-fact conclusions were:

• Harbin: Macho, but don't really make good husbands
• Chongqing: Powerful, straightforward but tend to be chauvinistic (a bit like Harbin men)
• Beijing: Stylish and talkative, they tend to be self-centered but they could also be very romantic
• Chengdu: Not really the most passionate type, but definitely down to earth and have good qualities to be a husband
• Hangzhou: The most delicate and well dressed men among all
• Guangzhou: Probably the richest men in China, often wear designer labels, they are mostly charmingly "evil" ... remember the Chinese saying, women are often not intrigued by good men (男人不坏，女人不爱)
• Xi'an: Persistent and devoted to love, lucky to be loved by a Xi'an man
• Nanjing: Laid-back and content with life
• Shanghai: Probably the most "metrosexual" men in China and have good husband qualities (such as cooking for the wife ...)
• Shenzhen: Intelligent, smart and rich, money is probably their drive for life, they could love a woman but not necessary want to marry you

OK, we are not sure how much truth there is in this report, but a list of stereotypes is always a good way to start your weekend. Our personal experience dating Chinese men are limited, but we may try to get audited very, very soon.
