Is there some stereotype I should(n't) know about? Are Shanghai women supposed to be judgmental, or fashion-conscious, or what?
--- End quote ---
The stereotype is that Shanghai women are modern, stylish, fashion-conscious, and sexy; but also materialistic, high-maintenance, and ever-ready to use our "feminine wiles" to get what we want from those poor helpless men. In Shanghai dialect, these ideas are expressed in the words dia and zuo. There are lots of jokes about how Shanghai men are tai-pan tigers in business, but pussy-whipped wimps at home.
YMMV on how far I conform to the stereotype :angel:, but of course I also am a Sydney woman.
Carl-E:
Shanghai girl / Sydney woman.
There's a song in there somewhere...
GarandMarine:
I'm thinking a Mid 70s rock track.
Is it cold in here?:
For Akima's next zillion-hour intercontinental airplane ride, I inflict on her the ear worm
"she's a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo Sydney woman, see how
high she flies "
