This is a great thread. Keep this up. We need more professional Hmong women to bring growth and nurture out Hmong children and become role model.

Not the kind of sexy you're thinking of YOU PERVERT!!!
I'm talking about intelligence .

I'm assuming you are a female?
Only girls would care. Guys just want us to be dumb, as you can tell in this thread, none of the guys cared to say anything nice.. Some were even disappointed.

^ I think men and women are the same everywhere. Women are more focused than the men therefore they could put their mind in it to achieve their goals. Men on the other hand has a lot of 'important' things on their mind and they tend to think deeper before taking the next step, like chasing girls and scratching the itch on their butt. So give the men some credit, they'll get there but it'll take some time.
