Shouldn't really generalize, I guess, and of course it isn't just the remit of Ozzie girls, although they do seem to have a disproportionate number of self important, aggressive ones.... Maybe it is the result of growing up in Oz where men are as non feminist as it gets! But it does seem to me that Asian girls are generally gentler, more serene and happier with being a women than their Western counterparts and make better partners generally. Just my two cents worth, however!

So I take it that everyone on here is so in love with the Asian birds, that nobody would consider BA?

All you 744 Cathay bods will surely be able to commute back to Asia for your days off. Best of both worlds surely.

As for the UK birds, the same comments about Aussie birds apply. Asian women are much more accommodating.

The comments regarding the charms of Asian ladies have a great deal of merit, until you meet the Cantonese Mafia in the Hong Kong airlines. They have been brainwashed to consider all foreign pilots as the lowest form of life. Any flight attendant seen even talking to pilots is automatically shunned by her peers.

Downtown Lan Kwai Fong, of course, is a different matter.

Don't think you guys would want to get mixed up with the ladies in SIA either. Expats are the lowest form of life to them and they will dob you in for nothing if it gets them brownie points.

Just one session of listening to their morning ritual of clearing their lungs and nose would also put you off for life!

Just imagine taking that home to meet the parents!

Good one!
Or think about the noise they make when they eat...

How about their burping when they talk - no apology - just keep talking as if nothing happened! "Amazing" (said with a Harry Hoo accent...)

The role of women

After reading much of what has been posted on this thread I am no longer surprised at the apparent level of discontent among the "modern day" CX members. If all you wimps can think about is what hangs between your legs and how you are treated by various women, of Eastern or Western origins, it is no wonder you whinge and whine. How about thinking more about what you are paid to do and less about how those horrible femenists treat you.

Ironic comment from a former CX slave that has lived the glory days at CX and would rather defend management rather than his profession. Get lost!

Defending Management

Flap10 or is that Flip10? How on earth does my comment in any sense defend management? The was no mention anywhere regarding management. My comment was aimed at the comments of those denigrating women generally. I presume they have or did have mothers. Maybe even sisters and in some cases wives. As I said, worry more about what you are paid to do and less about how women treat you, you precious petal. As for the "glory days", if they were glory days it was because we worked a fair day and got a fair salary for doing it, by no means slaves.

Asian women will happily date older men as the majority aren't hung up on the "I am a hot princess" syndrome
Yeh, because 99% of them are'nt hot princesses.

I'll take the Aussie/Pommy/Kiwi attitude along with the intelligent conversation and minus the halitosis , thanks all the same .

SCMP istelf reported that the % of Chinese women interested in a western husband dropped significantly during the GFC. really, you lot need to get out of here more, or maybe not.

I really like the dragging of feet when they walk...
Thats because their shoes are 2 sizes to big, maybe the logic is they will be more comfortable ???

Bogie30, it is what is beneath the appendage that matters mate, and it seems to me that many on this thread may have none.

my comment is not based on a single post by you, but by a plethora of posts with the same underlying tone.

worked a fair day and got a fair salary for doing it
Again, another ironic comment, you complain of the "modern day CX member" whinging all the time, but you do realize that you worked A LOT LESS, and got paid a A LOT MORE compared to "modern day CX member", so exactly who the F$%^k are you to criticize.


I'll take the Aussie/Pommy/Kiwi attitude along with the intelligent conversation and minus the halitosis , thanks all the same .
That's great hongkongfooey, please by all means, they are all yours for the taking, but what makes you think you can have a more intelligent conversation with a Western woman than an Asian woman. Are you implying that a Western woman is more intelligent??? If so, I really feel sorry for you!

Mate, have you actually had a conversation with the cabin crew about anything other than CX........I feel sorry for you if you think that is intelligent.

Badair,

I like how you use the cabin crew to generalize all of the Asian women. Says volumes about your intelligence and your exposure to Asian women. You either don't go out much in Hong Kong or you don't give a **** about Asian women in which case you have a very biased view. Having said that your experience with the cabin crew is typical when they are in the company of a condescending arrogant dick. Treat them with some respect and you'll be surprised how sharp and witty they can be.

Worked Less for More Pay

Flap10, how the hell would you know how hard I worked and how much I got paid? I worked a bloody lot harder for a lot less in my pre-CX employment. On the L1011, which was the first CX type on which I was employed and of which we had only nine, we all worked often as the average sectors were short. Bangkok-Bombay was about the longest sector. Three day breaks were rare. If you consider that we were slaves then you have no idea of what slavery is. We worked relatively often and enjoyed what the company provided, at least the majority of us did. That is not sticking up for management Flap10, it is just that I believe we probably had a different mindset and a sense of company loyalty which it is apparent some today do not.

Australian women are very useful ...

Bang them on the head, cover them in "bitchymen", paint stripes on them and turn them into speed bumps in 40 zones

Thats the only thing Ozzy squawkers are good for

INDONESIA ALL THE WAY BOYZ!
