BASIC POONER MANDARIN: The magic key to a Chinese SP’s heart

Definately would be one of the first things they say... but if you were writing the reviews would you add the comment about how delighted they were in your linguistic prowess? Sounds a bit too conceited to me.
(Though, consistently interspersing reviews with bits of the sp's native language would also kind of come off as a bit conceited...)
Thanks for the lively interest
Cock Throppled, thanks for your perspective. Judging from SP ads in Vancouver, I take it you agree at least half are by Asian SPs, and most of these are Chinese who're rarely fluent in English?
As I stressed myself, you can of course get by on "pigeon English and hand signals"—but I've still found basic Mandarin useful for breaking the ice, establishing warm rapport and having a great time.
But why only think narrow and local? Most of us know, Vancouver is a relative backwater in the pooning world. According to Wikipedia, "Prostitution is an increasingly large part of the Chinese economy, employing perhaps 10 million people, with an annual level of consumption of possibly 1 trillion RMB." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_the_People's_Republic_of_China
Vancouver AMPs and micros can be a great training ground to practice your budding Mandarin—while preparing for one of life's really great adventures: a pooning rampage through the heart of China.
Language-learning requires a bit of effort, and you're probably right: most guys won't bother to learn even one phrase of Mandarin. But so what? A few might, with encouragement.
In any case, no harm done posting 200-300 Mandarin pooner phrases, what do you think?
Brothers with no sympathy for discussing the Chinese language will, I hope, avoid reading this thread—as I'm doing with hundreds of threads about sports or politics that don't interest me.

Hey JC,
I'm flattered you've read "virtually all [my] posts since [you've] signed up on to this site..." Sorry to disappoint such an avid follower of mine. My ethnic extraction is boringly Northern European, with the typical big nose.
If I were a "banana"—ethnically Chinese but not a native speaker of Mandarin—I'd probably be far less motivated to learn this language. A CBC who speaks only broken Chinese isn't going to be nearly as popular as a smiley, romantic, kind and affectionate Caucasian.
When Caucasians speak a bit of Mandarin (and can sing a few Mandarin songs), Chinese people generally treat them with rèqíng zhāodài ("warm hospitality"). But if you're ethnic Chinese but don't speak Chinese well, they seem to regard you as some sort of traitor to their culture.
That's not fair, but reality seldom is.
I think the pooner mandrin guide idea is great. After seeing your post I thought of doing the same thing in Japanese, but after thinking a bit all I could really provide is a list of nouns of the various acts an sp could provide, certain related body parts, and the verbs required to put the whole thing together. I just cant think of very many set phrases... definately not in the range of 200.
Anyways keep up the good work.
Anyways keep up the good work.
Isn't it "Say gweilo gor lay dil ore."My Cantonese lesson for today
Say " Chi Sin Lo"
thats what Chinese SP think of us when we try to get their heart.
..............so I take it if you were an SP, basic pooner Mandarin would be a waste of time anyway ?
If wilde-fundi were a SP...which one, lady or homo...either way, all i can see is bia-tch! LOL..............so I take it if you were an SP, basic pooner Mandarin would be a waste of time anyway ?
What's wrong, no bbfs or std threads for you to chime in? Did you ever find out how quick you can contract HIV from having unprotected sex with an infected person?:crazy: A fucking stupid question from a stupid fucking wanker, that's for sure.:wave:
Tutorial 2 (of 10): More Pooner Mandarin
Given the groundswell of sympathy for my project (on the part of PERB's silent majority), I'll add the 2nd instalment of Mandarin phrases. I've had lots of occasion to use them in pooning contexts, both here and in China.
When you deliver any of these phrases, be jovial and smiley.
Even the simplest phrases are, of course, difficult to memorize and pronounce for a total Mandarin newbie. In all language-learning there’s a hump you need to overcome before you can ease into relaxed conversational rapport.
Learning a vocab item in a new language usually requires multiple exposure to it. But once you've mastered certain fundamentals (buy Mandarin CDs at Chapters or watch "Learn Chinese" videos online http://watchtolearnchinese.com), you'll have little trouble incorporating more and more words and phrases into your pooning experience, much to the delight of most Chinese SPs.
They'll give you all the encouragement in the world, and soon you'll have 20 or 30 stock phrases that come in handy every time you poon.

Thanks, Sleepmonger—and please post as many Japanese phrases as you can think of!

Thank you, uncleg, for your thoughtful query. I gather you speak from a rich store of experience.
As you probably know, Mandarin was introduced as China's lingua franca in 1932. When the Communists took over in 1949, they retained Mandarin as the standard language taught to all children from elementary school on, calling it pǔtōnghuà" (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese if you're interested).
It may surprise you to hear that I haven't yet affiliated with any SPs born before 1932. And I found that every single one of my mainland Chinese SPs understood Mandarin (though such is not always the case with native-born Hongkong ladies).
Hope this allays your concern.
Wow, can you possibly be any more passive aggressive?
Even if somebody remembers a line or two from your extensive collection of one-liners, it is still a long way from holding a somewhat meaningful Mandarin conversation with an SP. And one would look fucking stupid when the SP goes beyond the one or two one-liners that one has memorized.
Here is one for you: tíngzhǐ màochōng pǔtōnghuà zhuānjiā
............and I take it you are trying to be sarcastic ? While Mandarin may be the lingua franca of China I have found in my dealings with Chinese there are just as many that do not speak Mandarin as there are those that do. I'm not necessarily talking about strictly SP's here, just Chinese in general. I have found that those that those in government or business are more likely to speak Mandarin, as opposed to Chinese from a more rural setting or occupation. As your reference notes, the version of Mandarin used is the Beijing Dialect, and while that accounts for 850 million speakers, there are 1.3 Billion Chinese. Also note the comments in regards to Cantonese in the overseas Chinese community.
I must say that I find the hostility toward Tantalizeme by (mostly Asian) Perb members, as well as the demeaning comments aimed at him, rather strange. What is wrong with him trying to teach some Mandarin phrases to fellow pooners? Of course, no one will be able to actually carry out a conversation in Madarin using his impromptu dictionary, but that is not the point. The idea is to put the SP at ease by showing some interest in her language and culture. In my younger, more vulnerable years, I met a lot of Japanese who were appreciative of the fact I knew a bit of their language. It helped break the ice and gave us a topic of conversation.
So to the people denigrating Tant's efforts, give it a rest.
So to the people denigrating Tant's efforts, give it a rest.
I totally agree. I feel priviliged just to be breathing the same cyberspace as Sir Tant.
P.S. to wilde-whorist, my apologies for my rude post to you. I was intoxicated.
