what traits of men or women in your culture/country do you take pride in?

if you were to prove or convince someone of the opposite gender from another country to be your friend, or marry you, or have a relationship with you, what traits would you be proud of that you got from your culture? generally, with us Filipino women, we are proud of the fact that we have our family and marriage values intact. with Chinese people, i admire their way of doing and handling business. with Americans, i like their being straightforward and their discipline regarding time. with Germans, i find their being very strict as a way to improving standards of output, be it work-related or in the discipline in their household. this discussion is meant to appreciate the values we have from our own culture and to bridge cultural barriers. looking forward to having unbiased and positive responses :)
