Giggle: Asian vs Global People

Have you ever saw a situation in which a person is making a mistake and not showing any sign of guilt when confronted or reprimanded but giggled instead?
This scene happens a lot in Asia.
To Asians, giggle not only a reaction to something funny or laughing at someone, but also to express nervousness.
When one gets nervous, one instinctively giggles. Possibly laughing at oneself.
To foreigner, and even fellow Asians that already transformed into global people by social environments, it is considered annoying because they think the giggly person is not taking things seriously or even being disrespectful.

So, if both ends realize this phenomena, hopefully there will be more tolerance.

Venus VS Mars

Quoting a dear wise friend,

"Women tend to rely on their feeling, while men rely on their common sense and more visual. That's why you rarely see handsome men dating plain looking women. It's still easier for a common looking men to find a date than plain looking women. It is no surprise to see a beautiful woman with average looking man. Because they tend to use their feeling more. Besides that, the girl's girlfriends tend to care for their friend's feeling unlike boys who can say the harsh truth about their friend's new girlfriend's look."

Few months ago, I also saw a trending pic in several social medias. "Why more chubby guys nowadays get beautiful girls? Because more buff guys tend to like another guy." Eeks. I'm not saying the (meant to be) funny pic is true, but I think it goes well with what my friend said. Girls (women) are not as visual as guys in terms of choosing romantic partner. We tend to listen more to our heart, what our heart say, how we feel to certain men.

Any comment? Please leave you comments here..

Couple Compatibility Advice

It's actually a very good thing that my Mom told me. She heard it from a respectable Indian priest we met yesterday at her good friend,
Asha's house.

He said, to tell a couple's compatibility, they (the priests) always look for 3 main aspects:
Affection
Prosperity
Longevity
When there's no Affection between 2 people, they surely can't Prosper. When ones not Prosper, they might get sick, etc. so they won't
have Longevity.

When all 3 aspects shows in a relationship between 2 persons, then they say it's a Good
Match (compatible).
Makes very good sense, right?

Failure to comprehend

I personally find it quite hard to understand most people, frankly speaking, specially those from that "other" class.
Class to me is not determined by how wealthy one is, but more where one positioned themselves in. These days, even some people with achievement on business life still brings the old, pedestrian lifestyle with them.
Some of their habitual activity are: huddling up in a group, with everyone talking at the same
time, about ~ mostly ~ various random things they have in their own minds. Surprisingly they
only talk together for the same topic when they are gossiping about some other people.
However hard, I have to accept people here still is a verbal communal people..

Again I feel not belong here, since I guess, I'm more globalized in that sense.
