For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

What do women really want? Please ladies, help me!

Please ladies read this and tell me what I must do! 

 

From the Daily Mail

The one thing that has become abundantly clear from reading Rod Stewart’s riotous autobiography is that despite the ludicrous tartan trews, big nose and wild lifestyle, an awful lot of women have found him utterly irresistible. 

Rod courted them, adored them and did everything he could to prove to them that he thought they were special. He pursued them across continents, filled their hotel rooms with flowers, and fell head over heels in love with them. 

The only problem was, he constantly betrayed them with other women.

Utterly irresistible: Rod Stewart has never been short of gorgeous girlfriends

Utterly irresistible: Rod Stewart has never been short of gorgeous girlfriends

Yet the truth is that many men could learn lessons from Rod when it comes to making women happy.

The reason so many of us find him appealing is not just the fact he’s rich (though, of course, that helps).

No, I suspect that even if Rod Stewart had grown up to be a plumber like his father, he’d never have been short of gorgeous girlfriends. 

Why? Because for all his faults, he’s a romantic who genuinely loves women — and he’s never been afraid to show it.

Men are always complaining that they don’t understand us and don’t know what we want. They think we’re contradictory, confusing and impossible to please.

We’re not. We’re simply fed up with being patronised and ignored. And what the Rod Starts of this world understand is that women will put up with an awful lot from men as long as we feel adored.

In fact, the reason women idolise Rod is the same reason why they prefer Boris Johnson to David Cameron and Bill Clinton to George Bush.

Yes, Boris and Bill are rackety, self-obsessed and selfish individuals on whom it would be unwise to rely in a crisis and who have little concept of fidelity. 

 
 

But what they both have in common is humour, self-deprecation and, above all, passion. When Boris Johnson talks to you, says a female friend who used to work with him, he focuses on you completely. 

Unlike most politicians, he won’t  look over your shoulder, scanning the room for someone more important to talk to. And unlike many men in  important positions, he’s not afraid to tell you what he’s feeling or to ask  your advice.

Another friend who once met Bill Clinton found herself unexpectedly mesmerised. ‘He made me feel I was the only person who mattered, in a room of about a thousand other people,’ she said afterwards, still starry-eyed. 

‘I would have done anything he wanted me to — literally anything.’

As a general rule, we don’t want to marry a Rod or a Boris or a Bill. They are bad boys who tend to make bad husbands. But what a revelation it would be if our men could learn from them how to focus on us properly, even if only for a few hours a week, and how to make us laugh. 

Who knows — if only our men could find their inner Rod Stewart, we might in turn discover we want to unleash our inner Britt Ekland.

eh, this question, what men or women really want, had kept me in a trap for long before I though I had an answer. After years of confusion, i became finally successful to persuade myself to believe that they want a mixture which is composed of some certain components, and the priority sequence of these components differ a lot to different indivisuals. These componets at least include: to duplicate his or her gene, to maintain or improve his/her personality, a more comfortable life, a more comfortable lifestyle, sex appeal, a copy or a betray of the intamacy he/she experienced during his/her childhood.

" We can love each other forever, just not every day" Vinz - is this a case of "Not tonight Josephine" Great stuff!

Bravo, Vincent, jsuis tres d'accord avec toi.specialement " We can love each other forever, just not every day" point :)

Comment by Vinz on October 16, 2012 at 15:20

The heart of the problem, I think, is that men can't make only one women feel special on a long term basis. I believe there is something of a hunter, of a predator, of a herd leader (inherited from our close past living in the wild) in men's inner self that completely doesn't match with belonging to one female partner only. Bill Clinton proves my sayings doesn't he? I might make you feel special for one hour or one day but will open his cigar box to another woman the next.

Marriage might seem the highest point of making somebody feel special to women (not all of course)but I hear a lot of stories about couples who were madly in love before marriage separating because this official union turned their relationship into something they were not exited about anymore.

Well, I believe we can love each other forever, just not every day.

Hence, know to close your eyes, men and women, when it is a day on the one your partner has other things in mind than making you feel special. But know how to open them and rejoice when it's a day on the one he or she feels like it.

*(I'm guessing this song won't be on the Mathama Jack's turntable anytime soon....)

Lyrics to "Girls Wanna Have Fun"-

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun
