Title: ??-Internet Cafe
Post by: dude on March 14, 2010, 08:18:34 am
For those that wonder if these ladies have access to computers and the internet, here in China, the answer is yes! All you have to do is look for a sign that says: ??  Here in Changsha they are all over the place! It's true...not everybody has a computer and internet access at home.


I know several women that are signed up with two agencies here in Changsha(P216 & P218). I think I have all their QQ ID's...as I will steal their veggies and harvest their animals(HappyFarm)!...The likelyhood that a woman your communicating with has QQ, Skype, Msn, and/or Yahoo is about 99.9%...at least here in Changsha!

If agency/translator gives you runaround about direct contact, it might be a good idea to find another woman! Some  might disagree with me on this but think about it...anybody that says: I love you and seems very interested(with them EMF's) they'll be willing to do this! Sure there is language barrier but what do they and us expect??? Do you really care to share your true feelings with a third party(translator)?

Dude,

I completely agree about the run around.  I'll say it again www.blossoms.com and block the filapinos or that will be all you see.

Good post dude!

I saw several Internet cafe's in Wuhan, they were little more than a couple of PCs in someone's front room, but I guess they were cheap to use!

And I'll also add that my lady was one of the least wealthy we've collectively visited, but even she had a PC and Internet at home (although Internet connectivity was so-so in their apartment block). Anyone who works in an office will often have Internet access as well, and take it from me, a Chinese office lady will be glued to that Chinese farmville clone and/or QQ'ing every time her boss leaves the office :icon_cheesygrin:.

QQ is also on mobile phones and no self respecting upwardly mobile Chinese lady will be without a mobile!

It's right that there are many internet cafes in China, but not all are convenient to computer. You think that after a day's work, who would like to go out in the evening?Maybe it is not convenient for the ladies.

Zhuzhu,


Point well taken! But what about paying 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 yuan to find a husband? I also understand it's usually not that easy to come up with this kind of cash, in China! It isn't that difficult to get access to a computer, to at least chat with somebody that can be your possible husband! If your a woman in China, I imagine you have access to a computer and have QQ and maybe Yahoo, MSN, or Sykpe...I would even bet I'm correct about this! :P

:icon_cheesygrin: When I talk to my parents, most of the time, they do say me : "Oh God, can't you find any lady outside, and not via any network program? That sucks... com'on, man', stop being in front of your computer and go out..."

ahah...
Ok, but...
One of the very good points, a man can talk via Skype, msn, QQ, to a lady, if he tries to give her some "sweet names" (yeah, the man could be a bit warm with the lady, and so on...
The lady can accept// or decline...

But most of the time, in the street, try to do the same thing with a lady...
And beware your face because of her handbag, ready to be launched like a rocket :icon_cheesygrin:

So, I always believed it was more easy to find any nice ladies via Msn/skype/Chnlove or any other ways, instead than IRL (In Real Life).
Even if a few were without any computer... only a very few... ^^'

(sorry for that APART reply):blush:

when I was in touch with Kathy (1) in Qingdao, her excuse was that it was not safe to use the cafe's at night.

However when I was there, i went to a couple of them, and they were clean, very nicely kept, had attendants to helpand everyone was really friendly.

I myself have not seen any of the of the internet cafes, but i know they do exist.  Some of the friends I have made on QQ are usually in the cafe when I am chatting with them.  Then again most of these friends are the between the ages of 18 and 30.  So maybe ages plays a role in the willingness to go to cafe.  I had talked to a girl from Foshan and she told me she had no computer at home but would try to contact me on the weekend from a cafe, but when I continued to ask when were going to speak alone she became defensive.  So I think maybe the agency scares some of these women.

It must be some kind of internet cafe gang because I got the same reason in Changsha. :dodgy:

i must say again that China is very safe its no problem being there at
the late evenings even for a lady. i see so many ladies walkig around at late
evening and no issues

As i've said many times here before, some of the internet cafe's in China can be very sophisticated establishments, having top of the range equipment etc.
Some of these sophisticated internet cafes can be quite large too, having separate gaming, private webcam, study, areas as well as general internet access areas.

Ive personally never seen any problems in any of the internet places i've used, in any of the cities i've been in. In fact as someone already mentioned most are friendly helpful places, especially for beginners. Ive seen women of all ages in these internet cafes, and at all different times of the day and night.

Yes there are some real dive looking places around too, but there's no need to use them as there are so many better ones to use just across the road or round the corner...lol!!!

I can't see any reason why any of these ladies that are genuinely looking for a future hubby can't put as much effort into building a strong relationship as the guy is willing too, especially if they are telling you they are very interested in taking that relationship further.... Staying/insisting on EMF's only is not going to get you anywhere fast, especially if you have a fluffing translator...lol!!!

David,

i wonder how much of that problem is agency generated. you know how trusting the chinese lady
is and when they join are they told how to go about the process in terms of what is actually better
for the agency as far as revenue return?? you know what i mean they tell them to go slow and see how
serious this man is, we will help you to determine this as you write to him in the next decade  lol

Ted,

They always try and convince these ladies that they know best, and to leave things to them to sort out. Some of these ladies are more astute and insist on knowing everything that is going on. But even those can be led a dance, by being kept in the dark!!

Alas, most take these agencies as being professional, so must know what there doing, and will do the best for them. So they leave everything in the agencies/translators hands and basically do as there advised. Many of these ladies are just as surprised as the men, when the truth eventually comes out.

All is about basically ''chasing the buck'' where the agencies put the ladies chances at real risk, for the sake of a few dollars in revenue from the men that are genuinely corresponding with them!!  Sad, but the Chinese way!!!

David.......

with endless ideas geared to the man looking and who
will work in their favor to secure a great lady from China

Ted,

If you get something going...maybe we can swing a Changsha branch to this idea?

The problem with "the lady not wanting to talk to you" is translator generated! It's a fact, they pursuade women to let them take care of this as most women speak only a few words of English. In general most will not be afraid to speak to you! Of course, there will be a few exceptions.

Yes, most Internet Cafes are very clean and they even serve decent food! They are female friendly and I see many of them in cafes and on QQ!

If a woman is avoiding direct contact, I would say this is about 98% translator generated and the most stupid thing about it, they screw themselves with this attitude! Why not try to finish marriage contract instead of gaining a few rmb's? My guess is for those men that never come here...yes men flakes too!

I talked to an English teacher last night and we had discussed this very situation and he has been to P218 and knows agency owner and we both agreed it was for a few extra dollars and at the expense of peoples hearts! We hear scam...well the agencys are, and most of the ladies are NOT...again a few exceptions! We all know CHNLOVE is aware of this and they do NOTHING about it! This is called greed at the expense of breaking lonely hearts...PATHETIC!!!

The Inetnet cafe I went to last year was smoe filled and had tons of teenages or young guys playing computer games endlessly. it's not a great environment for privacy or health. Maybe some are better than others I do not know but in general a lady would not go to some of these places.

Yes some are...just like most restuarants(smoke filled)...sorry China is unlike the states with smoking laws! Yes, there are many teenage boys and girls flocking the cafes and young men & WOMEN! Hey not everybody has a computer and internet, at home!

Yes, in general a lady would not go to some of these places...if they really are interested in you...they will go the length in furthering their communication with you & find a suitable cafe...this is not something that is very difficult to do!

here in GZ they have internet cafe's and they have places were you can use computers.
there is a really big difference with the two of them. the cafe's here are clean well run and
not smoke filled even though i do smoke so it wouldnt bother me. but the others are just
someone who has a little money and buys some computers and sets up shop. hell they even
have different chairs and stools in them were as the cafe's have a nice desk chair which runs
you about 75 rmb an hour. the others are cheaper and cheaper in all other ways. so the lady
has a choice and will be safe. no one bothers women here in China nor do they even do cat
calls when there walking. so if she wanted to go to a cafe she will get a clean place,well lit,
good chair,and even snacks to buy if she wants to eat for 75 rmb hr   just an observation in
my walking around travels in GZ

There are three, very well equipped/kept internet cafes close to our place, in Changsha, that charge 3 rmb an hour. Also their sizes are fairly large with many pc's.

Post by: David5o on March 17, 2010, 04:55:33 pm
In Cyprus, walk-in off the street and it's around 75c (Euro) an hour. Or you can buy a weekly card for 6 Euros unlimited!!  I believe they also sell monthly cards, but not sure what they charge for them

In China from what i can remember, ranged from 2 RMB to 5RMB per hour, depending on the City, facilities you used, and the class of the establishment.... As i have stated before, some of these establishments are very sophisticated and definitly a cut above your normal internet cafe.... As far as China is concerned, i am now maybe 3 years out of date. ...lol!!!

For those that are unaware of what's available in China. These days, most of whats available in the West is also very much available in China. Technology is one of the driving forces in China's rise in the world theatre.

As for WiFi, It's available everywhere, especially within public areas, which would include airports, railway stations, etc, etc.....

Hell, ....most of today's technology components are Made in China these days, ...Right ???
