Hi Eileen, thanks for new video
Hi Eileen,can you do a video on symbols of statuses and capitalism.
poors are looked down upon/disrespected
imo symbols of statuses,that companies make(iphone,mercedes etc) define/categorise people with a physical mark, who is poor who is not based on these symbols. Like we can physically see who is poor.
So symbols of statuses,since they tell us
poor person says:person X is different from us,person X is rich,so he/she wants me to respect him/her"
Rich person:"person X is poor I shudnt respect him/her"
these visible markers divide society.
My only critique is that Kirk does not really articulate clearly. I am listening to the podcast without subtitles and I really struggle when he conflates 2-3 characters into a single mumbling sound. No doubt we language learners should learn to understand people who mumble, such a toothless elderly, drunkards, and half-asleep partners. However, a podcast guest who mumbles is not the ideal guest. I suggest asking him to articulate more clearly. Thanks, and happy learning to everybody 😊
Can you make video on "Are Chinese girls pickme girls?" Because many people in West think Chinese girls are pickme girls. And many Western men think Chinese girls are very easy.
I believe a lot of work went into the subtitle. so thanks a lot for that.
As someone who has made subtitles yes, it takes A LOT of work.
Eileen, I love you so much that I bought a lifetime subscription to Mandarin Corner. I even liked all your videos. Why don't you feel the same way 😭
Just need to recognize this great comment. Not sure if anyone else got it....
You are such a "licking dog" but you will not even be a "spare tyre".
🤣🤣🤣
relax dude, you're maybe the 5th or 6th 備胎 here.. GET IN LINE!
Simp
I think Kirk is one of the most down to earth guests you’ve ever invited
Always happy to see Kirk, he's a great guest with a lot of stories and humor!
You pick the most interesting, relevant modern day topics! I feel confident talking about modern day topics because of this channel ^_^ thank you!
你在学中文吗？ Anyone here a language simp, thinking that just by learning chinese that chinese will be your friend and date you haha.
Thank you Eileen. I love the chemistry you and Kirk have. Another great podcast I will listen to dozens of times
This is the only channel on TH-cam where I thumb up the video without even starting it. I'm always left impressed by the effort. Thank you from my heart
Thank you Eileen! I started learning Mandarin 2 months ago to speak with my coworker and this channel has been incredibly helpful!
Damn, I wish we had podcast topics like this in the Japanese language learning community 😭
Nihongo echi ban suki desu nehhh
I feel like there are, but you may have to find bloggers. I know That Japanese Man Yuta talks about ALL KINDS of stuff on his channel.
@@jssmedialangs he does, and I do love Yuta, but his YT videos are almost exclusively in English
If anyone has any recommendations of funny/entertaining Japanese podcasts please lmk!
Why would you be learning a language spoken only in one country without much foreign presence?
@@avab4035 for fun lol, it doesn't always have to be that deep
This is way above my level right now, but I am enjoying just the sound of the language, and feeling pleased that I'm picking up words and phrases here and there...
One of the best episodes so far. At first I was shocked because I couldn't understand anything, but after some minutes I got into it and understood bits and pieces here and there. I really appreciate this real life Mandarin Chinese usage, with the supreme subtitles, and of course the great personality of you Eileen and Kirk.
yayyyy, kirk is back
longtime no see.
The "interviewing people" is like an anthropology class... Superfun,getting to know culture and ideas of hidden socieities.
He literally just made the video before this one about living with mice , he was never gone!
@@tahashlibek didnt know...i didnt see his pic on thumbnail,thought they were just plain chinese lessons.
I only come here to watch the interviews...rather than to learn chinese.
Kirk is the coolest guest for sure. Yall should do a comedy podcast and bring on some friends
topic request: sibling relationships in china? I think this would be pretty relatable but also unique.. might have to get some older guests or younger ones that don't have the one child issue.. and then contrast to some one child family children.
kirk is always funny af
Honestly, I haven't enjoyed a video so much until now. Such a good discussion and laugh. Love you guys. Qi'ers!
His hairstyle is awesome
Really gratful for the great effort made to provide us with this knowledge about Chinese society ❤❤
非常有趣的话题！😃
Kirk是最好笑的嘉宾！太喜欢他参加的视频
*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone!
Access the playback speed controls as follows:
*Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.
*Smartphones:* open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
非常感谢你们俩分享的话题。通过你们对话，虽然不曾去过中国像我一样的人可以更多了解中国社会情况。如果可以的话，我希望能有更多的采访，因为通过采访我不仅能接触中国人不同地方的口音而且能学会许多新生词。
我他妈一开始还以为你是中国人😂
Great video but I hope to see more in your literal translations format. This format is great for training my ear, but your literal translations are great for grammar training.
they both have their place.. i think it also depends on what level you are at.. I like this format as i want to hear in context usage of words.. if i see that breakdown it will be hard for me to quickly absorb. But i can see how others might want that. Even still i pause the video every couple sentences or so and dump the text in a grammar analyzer
@shuaibahmed5048 Thank you for replying. My friend, I am trying to think in Chinese. Seeing Chinese forced into English grammar is not helpful. I do not fear Chinese nor cower from its Grammer. Learning it is the objective.
Thanks Eileen for this video, Kirk you should use Minoxidil for your hair until you figure out why it's falling out.
Kirk 是個非常有趣的人，他有好多有意思的，聰明的`觀察，Eileen 和 Kirk 加油！
kirk, nice hairstyle mate I love it . keep it up :)
谢谢你们！！ 我非常喜欢听你们两个。
This video has Probably my favorite thumbnail of all time
Thanks!
Also America has a similar problem that is mentioned. Woman had standards for men because they weren't able to do much or provide for themselves but now they're able to do tha t, which is a great thing. However one negative that came out of it is that they just have higher expectations for men.
Is it a great thing though? All it does is keep birth rates and wages down.
@@anonymous3637 It's great for the economy (more people in the workforce, more taxpayers, etc) but a side effect is that dating has become more one-sided, with women having higher standards for men.
@@anonymous3637 Very astute observation! Additionally, a significant percentage of the few children being conceived are raised by single mothers. This is because women share the few 'high-quality' men among themselves, causing these "desirable men" to typically be uninterested in committing to a single woman.
that's so interesting!! thank you guys, I had not heard this word before
Hi
couple of month ago i subscribed, try to learn Mandarin using some of your stories in bed time.
Thanks for your teaching. HHH UK
we love kirk, the lad is hilarious af
very helpful podcast to practise my listening

Most simps will get AI girlfriends in the upcoming future.
原来是这样。当我在哈尔滨时，经常看到女性殴打男性伴侣。 有时，男人会扛起他们购物时的所有重担。 为什么要忍辱负重？我认为这就是把某人当作偶像的后果。
Kirk making fun of them but Eileen always bringing it back, positive that they will improve 😂
Great video!
This seems like a light-hearted topic but it actually is a very major social issue that can affect all aspects of human society and life. Let's break it down. First we analyse what is required for a man to like a woman. Not much. A man likes a woman for her youth and beauty which is god-given. The woman does not need to work and earn those things. Now on the other hand, a woman needs to at least admire a man in order to like a man. Now how does a man accomplish that? By being confident. But how does a man be confident? By beating other men who will challenge him in competition and coming out as the winner which will solidify his confidence in himself. Either that or he at least be much more accomplished than the woman he is trying to get with so that the woman is "below" him so she admires him as he is "better" than her in most aspects.
In the past, society restricted women from climbing the social status ladder and this made most women unaccomplished and therefore, most men would by default be able to be "better" than most women if he does an honest day of work in some trade or skill. That's why most men and women were able to get married, have a family and the men were motivated to work, follow the law and contribute to society as he now has a family that depends on him. But today, women are able to do everything that a man is able to do and furthermore, she also can make use of her sexual appeal to climb the social status ladder. Therefore, most women are now easily at the same level or "better" than most men. Most women therefore find it hard to admire and respect a man. Therefore as a result, only the top percentile of men truly gets the desire of like 80% of the women. Marriage rates go down. Divorce rates go up. Most men when they have no families of their own, will have no motivation to follow the law, no motivation to do productive things for society, rise in male suicide as they feel worthless and useless, rise in men who are opportunistic and predatory since they see no hope in doing things the "traditionally proper" way. What ends up happening is the top 20% of men get with most of the women like a rotation roster and he probably will never commit to one girl and most men become incels. The traditional family unit breaks down. When this happens, birth rates go down, the young become unable to support the pension of the old, society will break down slowly but surely.
One thing is that a man knows how to defend himself and other, to go and beat other to feel confidence. That kind of man, I wouldn't want, he's emotionally and mentally weak. He would have to develop discipline and other kind of values to adquire confidance in other way. Where did you get your facts? For what I know, we woman (lot of us) admire a man that is hardworking, visionary, respectful, affectionate, know how to manage his money and be there for the woman to support her in different ways. We have to feel attraction toward him, too. I understand that for lot of men they seek youth and beauty, and I'm not dismissing those cualities, but those tend to wane with time, and what makes a relationship work is two people that join together with the cualities I mentioned, and preferible that have the same spiritual believes and both work for the wellbeing of the family. But what happened with lot of man? They abuse their wives and children (emotionally, verbally, sexually, physically), they're are irresponsable, inmature, cheat on her, etc. and they start to show that behavior after they get married. But, it doesnt matter if he beat others (which is totally wrong) to feel confidance, I assure you in lot of case, his woman will stop to admire and love him because the way he treats her.
I think birth rates have to do with
Today Men and women both are racing to achieve "money,power,fame", specially how symbols of statuses define or mark ppl as poor and rich thus further encouraging ppl to race for "money,power,fame".
But child birth,taking care of children takes up a lot of time,energy making it hard for women who want "money,fame,power",thus women stay child free.
Screen culture and high cost of living also have help to screw people over
Sounds like an advert for Darwinism and Capitalism in one. .
For some women yeah, but underestimating a woman's intellect and seeing her as having an attraction switch that can be flicked by the biggest stupid caveman doesn't sound quite accurate.
It also completely dispenses with individual differences.
" A man likes a woman for her youth and beauty which is god-given blah blah blah" I didn't bother to read the rest of ur comment after that ,beauty is not given it's also something that a woman work hard and spend money for,and youth is something that you lose with time, both are superficial reasons to like someone but still ur life ,ur choice , same with men going for "beauty and youth" ,WOMEN are not "required" to like anyone for any reason that NOT their preference
Great topic!
i think there are definitely lots of simps all over the world, Im from Jamaica in the Caribbean and Latin America we have a very macho culture so in general there are not as many as simps as maybe the rest of the World, but simps definitely exist here too
Great to see Kirk again! Another word you can discuss that is really relevant - friendzone :)
Also, next time can Kirk bring his girlfriend on?
Can you do more of these podcasts with younger people on day to day topic like these? It's a lot better to learn conversational language and slangs rather than structured course.
We have already done many of these type of podcasts: th-cam.com/play/PL7VdqFXO0Lzc8YWJd5vLJ3z1ONhY7wkus.html
Pls More podcasts like this🎉
i like this topic i will dissect it and learn more from this...men stop simpinn thanks for your work and teachings
Love this topic
The dead parents preference is both hilarious and surprising. 😂
你们说的主题很有意思啊。谢谢。😊
Coming from Brazil. I think I saw almost equal amounts of simps on both male and female sides, but never to the extreme of these Chinese stereotypical male ones.
If you get punched in the head because you bought her the wrong color cell phone, then yes, you are a simple
It make you victim of abuse
this is so good.. thank you aileen.. is there anyway I can help with your production? process transcripts.. proofread etc..
在乌克兰的社会好像没什么普遍的添购的行为。男女关系基本比较平等，很多的女生会像男性一样养家。很期待下期节目！Kirk Eileen 我爱你们哦
He's a great cohost
Kirk is the best guest no doubt :))
This was so funny to listen to💀😭
Интересная тема, интересный собеседник 👍👍👍
Haha! I lolled at 'licking dogs'
And mostly all the girls i know in Ch they don’t have boyfriend, 😂😂
You know why cus all the guys play games
他可爱
I really hate when someone strings a person along, but I also think it's sad when someone knows they're being played and still choose to pursue a dead end.
And I don't know about in Chinese culture, but here in the US accepting gifts from someone you don't have feelings for can be dangerous. Especially if they're obsessed with you. 😫
#EDIT Oh my gosh!! That's terrible! 😢 That's exactly what I meant by dangerous. I knew people who had stalkers as a result of leading someone on. Set boundaries, make it clear you're not into them and DO NOT accept gifts.
好久不见，我想念你们的节目
Asking the hard questions. 😂
IN KIRK WE TRUST!!
我爱你的视频。谢谢老师!
很谢谢❤
當你想到這一點時，這非常令人著迷。在東方和西方有同樣的現象，但原因卻完全不同。 100 年前，性別關係要簡單得多…
This is quite fascinating when you think about it. In East and West kind of the same phenomenon but for completely different reasons. Gender relations much simpler 100 years ago...This is quite fascinating when you think about it. In East and West kind of the same phenomenon but for completely different reasons.

Tremendous job🫰👏😊
Eileen u are like the wine, you are prettier as you get older ❤
the surface looks like Uncle Roger lmao
再次感谢你哦🥺
这个主题太有意思了❤好久没见你们的博客。可以继续做博客吗？
🤣I think it's partially in the culture, to win someone over by money.
有趣的话题！其实在我们的国家也有一样的现象。我认为可能是因为追求女人越来越难，大家都现在比较多看外面的样子，物质，漂亮不漂亮，帅不帅，有没有钱。
Summary: The future of Chinese modern women is cats and antidepressants
在法國也有添狗，雖然好像沒有像中國這麼多，但小時候有幾個朋友是這樣而每次會覺得超級慘耶 😂
Yes
Hell yea
Yes
"Too short"
"Too poor"
"Too ugly"
"Too boring"
"Too many parents"
老师好久不见
If a man gives whatever the girl wants, he is not trying to understand her. Or she must be very pretty n having a very hot bod. Some men thinking means giving things mean love. But real women likes men to listen.
With all the straight man bashing, I wonder if there's a Chinese equivalent to "The Game"-era Neil Strauss or Dan Bacon, someone like that...would be a great video
Haha she would never make that video
My only critique is that Kirk does not really articulate clearly. I am listening to the podcast without subtitles and I really struggle when he conflates 2-3 characters into a single mumbling sound. No doubt we language learners should learn to understand people who mumble, such a toothless elderly, drunkards, and half-asleep partners. However, a podcast guest who mumbles is not the ideal guest. I suggest asking him to articulate more clearly. Thanks, and happy learning to everybody 😊
客人说得太对啦！
as usual, your subjects are interesting. yes, we have a problem here where women take advantage of men. hopefully, these men have friends who help them get out of this simp attitude. it would also be helpful if women just didn't accept this attitude.
They outnumber the female three to one if not mistaken
Men stop simping!
Haha where is this pic from？
没钱没甜
Yes they are very much😂
What are these weird topics you choose to focus on???
Not a thing here in North America.
Is red pill big on the Chinese Internet?
Lol😂
kirk 很漂亮
帅
Wow, I feel like there’s a lot of woman bashing going on in China right now. Even in this interview there seems to be an overarching animosity towards women in general. I’ve seen lots of interviews where women have said they have no interest in pursuing relationships because their too exhausted from work and don’t want to think of having to take care of a family or a boyfriend, and they don’t need one to take care of them so why would they sacrifice their independence. But the men seem to feel entitled to pursue them anyways. If the men won’t leave them alone, then maybe they’re the bigger part of the problem. China has created this problem first with the one child policy, the laser focus on education to the detriment of relationship building and then with the work culture, don’t paint all women with the same brush and put the blame on all women for the men’s low EQ and women’s overall life and work situations.
@Personbuxth so I guess ONLY the men have rights? 🙄 How about they both do? If women want to be left alone, leave them alone, if men want to be left alone, leave them alone.
Women should be free to do whatever they want, and men to reject relationships with them too. 🤷♂️
The key is not to complain about everything and say the world is against you. Actions have consequences
@Personbuxth whether I’m Chinese or not is irrelevant. You probably aren’t either.
@Personbuxth sure 🙄. FYI you clearly don’t know the difference between gender equality and “toxic feminism” but you clearly display the traits of toxic masculinity, so congrats on that. Also, if you’re so envious, feel free to relocate to China at any time to be with your “bros.”
Mandarin Corner takes The Red Pill.
Facts😂!
