For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

Good post Penny. I like the idea that we are all looking for "spiritual belongingness"

All 5 men mentioned are all "married men". It would be interesting to here a married woman's perspective on this.

@ Emilyn Pls don't tell him to ask his ladies, that ll make him sound stupid n careless to them :P

Apparently, according to the descripitions above, ur wondering how could guys be successful in getting girls fast? Then i guess ur asking what women really want in short terms? Constant but proper caring which makes them feel special. Plus those guys must have already been legends before they courted the ladies. This makes those ladies feel even more special about themselves.

But i think what those ladies got s just some tasteful lusts.That's all. We small people rnt living in a perfet world. Nobody s prince neither princess. Those princes n princesses got their own sadness to deal with.

For long terms, different girls want different stuff. At this point, sexuality doesnt matter, we all human beings, we r all eager for spiritual belongingness from the other gender, which most ppl couldnt really get for the whole life.That's the magic point about love.

What we all do s just to balance our feelings n get over it.

Am i digressing? Hahaha

Comment by Richard Roman on October 10, 2012 at 23:05
