trendiest Asian women

She is smart, hip and tech-savvy, but this long-held image of a Hong Kong woman has never been proven - until now.

A survey, conducted to obtain a more in-depth understanding of the mindsets and attitudes of women in seven key Asian markets, found Hong Kong women are the trendiest in the region.

I don't think I find Hong Kong women trendier than their Japanese counterpart, especially those in Tokyo and Osaka, but they do have a taller figure and a much more distinct personality, for better or for worse. However if you go and compare the rest, like being smart and tech-savvy, HK women win blindfolded with hands tied behind their back, suprisingly a more familiar territory for the Japanese (err...).

Females praise HK women, but males fear them, for the very same reasons - they're intelligent and independent. Recent studies show that marriage rate in Hong Kong is in decline. Women have been pushing back their marriage in hope for a more competent man but they don't show. Or they being the escapists they are, go northwards, where plenty of poor Chinese girls are looking for a way out of China and possibly out of poverty. It's not unlike some relationship-impaired Americans and their Russian wives.
