>reading chinese comic books
>get to the part where some character describes a lady as "a beautiful jade"
>look up wtf a jade is expecting a bird or something
>its a green rock
a green fucking rock is the asian beauty symbolism? Why not just describe her as a rose?
>pretty to look at
>smells nice
>soft to touch
>hurts you when you least expect it
it makes so much more sense than a dumb retarded green rock

>pretty to look at, but cold, lifeless and unfeeling
sums up women very nicely imo

we also use diamond, gem, gold, etc

just wait until you find out that the feet of any and all women are described as jade feet

man, that woman is a DIME, a realy 10 cent piece

well good jade costs more than diamond, so it's like calling her a jewel or gemstone.

>>212561151
But those things have good monetary value no matter how shitty the product is though, the average jade goes for like 20 bucks a kilo, its nearly worthless unless its shaped in some cool way or really really really really purified

>>212561354
No they dont, The Pink Star diamond was sold for 70 million (top grade) and the most expensive jade ever sold was for merely 20 million, its just a shitty rock man admit it, nobody takes it as payment while gold silver and diamond are widely accepted

>>212561463
why are you being obtuse, it's kinda valuable and pretty to look at, that's it

>>212561283
And they say germs dont have a sense of humour

>>212561514
>its kind valuable
its not thoughhhhhhh, low grade industrial diamond goes for 5000-50,000 a kilo while similair level jades go for 10-500 per kilo. Its such a shitty compliment

>>212560186 (OP)
Jade is important in Chinese culture. See the Jade Emperor.

>>212561598
yeah, and one kilo of saffron is even more expensive, maybe you should call a woman as beautiful as saffron

>>212561379
>>212561598
There is a massive difference in looks between regular shitty jade and top tier high quality jade. And it's not like Jade is the only semi-previous stone.

Maybe Dutchoids are genetically predisposed to soyface over flowers or something.

>>212561691
at the bare minimum I could spin that as them looking as pretty as a flower or whatever so it would work out, a jade though, god fucking damn thats a stupid comparison

>>212561894
do you have autism?

>>212561876
if you read the thread you would understand even the most expensive jade ever sold pales into comparison when it comes to diamonds (the jade was also carried by history and culture ontop of being good quality too) its just a shitty rock at the end of the day compared to gold silver and diamonds

>>212561917
no im just upset because a fucking dumb green rock that also sounds STUPID AS SHIT is seen as beauty in other cultures

at the bare minimum they could have used other gems that sound cool like saphire or something

>>212561894
here, a flower made out of jade. happy now?

Going to start saying “You’re as beautiful as Actinium-225” to women. It’s one of the most expensive materials per gram in existence.
I’m sure they’ll love that and not call me an autistic retard.

>>212562014
wtf are you even supposed to do with it? It doesn't feel soft like a flower, doesn't smell nice like a flower and isn't even alive. Just get her a flower at that point.

>>212562055
That would be endearing and be a special compliment, she would remember it unlike some retard telling her "oh you look like pretty green rock!"

>>212562099
Women enjoy being called pretty, not a commodity

>>212562300
Why are you pretending as if Actinium is not beautiful? Its really pretty and glows too.

>>212561283
kek
>>212560186 (OP)
>why is a woman's beauty equated to a rock!?!
You mean a PRECIOUS GEM? Jade is highly sought out around the world.
>Imperial jade can sell for $500 to $10,000 per carat, while other colors like lavender jade can range from $200 to $3,000 per carat.

>>212560186 (OP)
they're talking about white jade you retarded gweilo

>>212562768
ohhhhhhhhhhh it all makes sense now, i feel kinda silly now

>>212561379
>the average jade goes for like 20 bucks a kilo
You are an absolute retard.

>>212562824
quit coping chigga, its true

even the shittiest quality diamond goes for multiple grands per kilo

>>212562824
>>212562899
>btfo so hard he does not even reply
I accept your concession, you absolute embarrassment

>>212560186 (OP)
Jades are cool though.
