So many girls have asked me what my job and my salary is as their

first question. Is this a normal question in China to ask first?

    @Looktal Pradabdao ก็มั้ง

  • Looktal Pradabdao

    5555. เขาอาจจะอยากคุยแต่ไม่รู้จะถามคำถามอะไรก็ด้าย

  • 笑看宛晴天

    @Zach I'm a student now.'

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    I’m confused which girl you’re talking about

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Elaine I don’t understand what you mean

  • 廖志發 Lifetime VIP

    @Zach she want you to her husband. Hahaha

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @笑看宛晴天 normal to ask as your first question? “Hi, what’s your job and salary”

  • 笑看宛晴天

    l think that it's normal.

  • Lesley

    @Zach oh it’s so bad. It’s really cold during these days. Keep raining and winding all day.

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Lesley i’m sick and working outside 😷

  • Lesley

    @Zach okay，wish you have a nice day in this terrible weather day.

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Lesley i don’t think it is

  • Lesley

    @Zach but still think there is a little bit offensive

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @st-芬妮 yes, asking about work is not a bad question, the problem is when it is the first question asked

  • st-芬妮

    What kind of job is normal, we usually don’t ask salary, it’s personal

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Lesley there’s nothing wrong with asking that

  • Lesley

    An American man also asked me about my job and relationship status.

  • Niklaus

    nope, that's not polite in China.

  • May P. Ruanluang

    @Zach Not everyone. I think

  • Wine

    Poor u hahahahah

  • moon 月

    😳😳

  • Alice

    @wow 我觉得还好吧，不要想太多，或许都是陌生人，然后找个话题聊聊😜

  • wow

    @Alice 你觉得有侵犯隐私吗？事实上我想了解一个不认识的人不会太在意工作，也许有些问你的人只是没话聊了，这样他们会觉得有加深印象。

  • Lu

    @Zach Haha, that's just weird, sometimes we meet weirdos on the internet. Just Ignore them

  • Kamal

    Someone asked me the same question. But it seems to be like a fake profile.

  • Kilo

    job ?pretty much. salary ?never be the first. maybe i would ask after we know each other .

  • Spenser

    I think it is impolite to ask this kind of private question unless you are on a blind date

  • Maggie

    @Zach It's none of their business

  • Maggie

    @四月 是的 最基本的礼貌 我的薪水也没必要让别人知道

  • 四月

    @Maggie 就算中国人之间做朋友，这些隐私最好别问吧，对吗？他真是💩，还怼我

  • Nia

    Actually it’s not polite to ask this kind of questions

  • Maggie

    @Zach just ignore them

  • 四月

    @爱斯基摩T 他删，我没，下面回复的姑娘都是有素质的，就不明白那货真的是奇葩！

  • Maggie

    @微笑 我也觉得你有病，估计吃错药了

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Sarah Mei i’ve been asked this a lot lately

  • Sarah Mei

    @Zach no.we don't do that

  • 爱斯基摩T

    @四月 哈哈哈你好逗 本来想帮你怼回去 一个刷新看到了你的回复😂

  • Maggie

    Ask salary is impolite

  • miina Lifetime VIP

    @Zach In Japan, it is very rude to ask in his first question what his salary is.　

  • TRY

    no

  • 四月

    @微笑 有病去吃药吧！

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @MarvelFan i’m not talking about a relationship, I’m talking about people on this app

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Alice first question before you ask anything else?

  • 爱斯基摩T

    Job, maybe. But why would asking someone’s salary first a normal thing anywhere... 🤔

  • Zach Lifetime VIP

    @Lu as a first question though? Instead of what is your name, it’s hi what’s your job

  • Selina셀리나 Lifetime VIP

    @Alice 😉

  • Alice

    @Selina셀리나 败家娘们😜

  • 薛先森

    When u have a blind date, it's normal

  • Selina셀리나 Lifetime VIP

    @Alice 说笑了，吾乃月光族

  • Emily

    They maybe want you to buy something for them

  • Anna

    @iceiiicei Exactly what I thought!haha

  • MarvelFan

    Not really normal in a relationship. But when it comes to getting married, this is indeed something that most people would take into their consideration.

  • 四月

    @Melodie 我也不问的

  • 四月

    @微笑 工作我会问，薪水从不问，无论哪国人，这是基本的尊重和隐私，交友必须遵从这原则😁

  • Alice

    @Selina셀리나 工资很高呀😜

  • Alice

    @wow 为什么？别人做什么工作有什么关系？难以理解

  • Alice

    外国人也是这样问我的😜，怎么回事😜

  • iceiiicei

    I think it not there business and it souldn not becom the first conversation to make friend with someone who you just knew 🙄.

  • Hawkeye

    Maybe because they want to get married with you😜😜（It's a common question only in blind dates）

  • Selina셀리나 Lifetime VIP

    工作我可能会问。但薪水不会

  • Lu

    Hmmmm.....ask your salary is not a polite question. Just ignore them

  • Lu

    But I think it normal to ask what's your job all over the world.

  • summer

    that is a normal question in China

  • wow

    If they are interested in you and want to further develop, they will ask, I also feel a little strange. It should be common to ask after confirming the relationship.

  • 周雅男

    Not looking at what she wants to be you

  • Melodie

    no, they are the expection.

  • KZ

    Japan too sometimes😂
