Thanks for the comments. Still hard (hard is weak here) to understand for me. And just for saying… I am a french girl.

I can see how mild 撒娇ing can be cute, but when its taken to the extreem I always think they’re just making fun of the mentally disabled.

glad you liked it! it was really fun interviewing him. i’ve never encountered or even heard about an actor who was so single-minded for such a long time in his devotion to a role.

Well, it’s hardly a Dave Chappelle-type affair. Still fun, though, even without Mos Def.

Like IP said, I think it’s a fine balance. Yes, there are definitely ways in which sajiao-ing can be very aggressive and dominating, but in a way that the man ALLOWS himself to be dominated–like the way a parent gives in to their child. You can’t be whined to if you don’t have some power over the whiner’s position. In that sense, if the guy can take it, the guy still gets to be the dominant figure, and that’s an ego boost.
