I'll help China make some babies! Is that a valid reason to immigrate there?

There are people who move to China to become "professional white guys" where you hang out with socialites and drink and make them look good by being their "white associate" which is a big deal in some social circles. Literally that's all you do.

The catch: you need to be really familiar with China, fluent in the language, and fluent in the culture and have some connects. You should probably also be somewhat attractive or at least know style and be fit.

I'll keep an eye on it, in case a market opens up for unprofessional white guys.
