一生只想尋找一個肯挨麥記的女人 / The Mating Game: Alpha, Beta and Omega Males




The following are my comments in response to Inner Space's Nov 1, 2013 blog article entitled 蛇竇 闘蛇.

Context: In the video, a young man with limited income wishes he could find a HK woman who is not a material girl and is willing to go eat cheap meals with him at MacDonald.

Issue: Is there anything wrong with HK women wanting to marry "up" and to seek potential mates higher on the socio-economic scale?

I really like the first video and note that one of the posted comments says: "提醒香港女仔吾好太港女" (the meaning of which is completely lost in English translation LOL!!!).

Anyway, I agree with the comment but also recognize the reality in HK. Just like in the wild, the most endowed alpha male usually wins the right to propagate his genes.

So, do you think it's scientifically correct - I didn't say politIcally correct - to group men into alpha, beta and omega males in the context of competing for women in HK?

天線電視機 / Rabbit Ears Television


天線電視機 / Rabbit Ears Television 



當我年輕時,
大人經常去附近涼茶鋪看電視。

後來, 我離開香港,
在加拿大賺取自己的學費和生活費, 
父母才可以買得起一部小型天線 rabbit ears 電視機。

If Financial Secretary John Tsang is really that oblivious to and out of touch with the conditions of the ppl, maybe the citizens of HK should give him a  "何不食肉糜?/ Let Them Eat Cake / Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" award !!!

SBB: 

Thank you for the informative blog article on the life and time of Margaret Thatcher who recently passed away.

No doubt, Thatcher was a controversial and an uncompromising leader for the United Kingdom.

However, my concern at the time was her alliance with Ronald Reagan to force the USSR into a corner during the Cold War thereby accelerating the doomsday clock toward mutually assured destruction (MAD).

I am glad I was wrong and my/our nightmare did not materialize.
