You know that "Me love you long time" thing? European dudes love that, according to Real Housewife LuAnn DeLesseps, who interrupted a Korean woman texting on her phone the other night at the bar at the St. Regis to offer some, er, friendly advice: "I believe in empowering women, because I myself am a woman, so let me give you this advice. When men see females on their BlackBerrys working hard, it really turns them off. Men like women to be females ... to not be like workaholics, as that comes off as being uptight in the bedroom and control freaks ... With you being Asian, you have an advantage. My European friends in particular adore Asian females because of their submissiveness. So work that to your advantage. At the same time, I can sympathize with you as a woman in New York City, but you have to do what you have to do to snag a man." [NYP]
