Oh no, not sarcastic.
My brother in law is a tiny dude and he met a chick with long legs and big boobs (rare in China). He met her on an online RPG game they were both playing. He was a sales guy at the time and they (my wife and him) came from a country side village, they were literally destitute. Anyway now he has two little girls, both are very pretty, I taught one to speak English. He was also mostly bald and fat but my wife says he can sell ice to an eskimo. If I find a pic, I'll post it. That's him there on the bottom, super nice dude... not good with money.
I met him early on when I met my wife. He insisted on meeting me, brought a knife. Laid it on the table and said "You understand we are from a poor family [In Mandarin]". His wife was sitting beside him... I was trying not to stare but I bet my jaw dropped. In China a girl doesn't have much to offer beyond her virginity at least not a poor girl... so it was a negotiation if you catch my drift.
The Chinese play for keeps.
This is my wife so you can imagine how hot his wife was...
