Hi Everyone:)

If anyone of you are interested having a Hungarian citizen friend, please just message me. Im not into anything bad, Im just interested having expat friends, to be honest I dont like Hungarians that much except my family and a couple of honest friends. I was living abroad for long years and became so much interested of Asian people and culture, so especially if you are from an Asian country I would be glad to know you.

Those are not unrelated issues. The "western/eastern" mindset and the "Hungarian" mindset, in my experience, are often not compatible.

As per my experience there is no Hungarian mindset and estern/western mindset. But... you know yourself and you know pretty well who you are interested about. Im interested about asians, not all asians because for example see how much different a filipino and a chinese can be. I have been staying in Hungary for about 24 years and abroad for about 5 years been in touch with asian community, so I know very well who I like more. Most of asians are loyal, honest and caring thats what Im missing in most of hungarians, Im hungarian and love my country so I can say that...

I understand the loyal thing with Hungarians, sadly.
My son was set on marrying a HU women since he  is/was so proud to be half Hungarian through his father although he has German and Ruysn roots on my side.
He married a HU lady in Hungary and she was so terrible to him once they moved back to the US and all her paperwork to stay was set.
Hurt him to the bone.Won't get into it much but I will just say a large casino in Las Vegas where I had gotten her a job later put a ban on all hiring of Hungarians due to her rude nature and mean side, that's saying allot here in Vegas.
Now after years of dating only Asian women( not interested in the wild American cocktail waitresses who liked him in Vegas)he has settled on wife no. 2 from a small city in Japan. He even went to Japan to make sure he was not making another mistake in a mate.
Loyal to the bone and sweet as can be, happy at last.
He dated Korean and Cinese ladies and we met them all, each was sweet in their own way and all treated us better as his girlfriend then his Hungarian wife ever did. She was a mean one for sure...
Sad because all my husbands relations are Hu and most are ladies, they have a mean streak in them too however.

First you say there is no difference, then you state there is.  ;)

Perhaps this is an issue of linguistics. To put us on the same page, a definition of mindset: a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways.

If you claim Asians are loyal, honest and caring, and you see Hungarians are not being so, is that not a claiming a "dispositions to act in certain ways" that differ between these two groups?

I am NOT saying that one mindset is better than another. Simply that they differ and at times can be incompatible. There is nothing wrong with being different. Differences in society, culture and mindset make a colorful tapestry of humanity. I would not like to live in a world that did not have such differences. But that still does not make such differences easy to bridge or make them easily compatible.

Just something to think about.
