My 2 cents: I think the place in China you're living in makes a huge difference. Shanghainese worship money and tend to use people quite a lot. So often you sort of second guess their intentions and realise before long they're just stringing you along. Shanghainese women can be freaking gorgeous and I dated a few but gave up after a while, just a bit too cold and calculating for me. There are a heck of a lot of migrant workers/uni students from other provinces too so you have more than enough other options, though often you find even in the wider surrounding areas that attitude is still there, just not as bad. They can be a bit infantile too.

Beijing and other northern girls are much better in that regard. Friendlier, warmer, and a bit more appreciative. More interested in music (real music, not the bubblegum pop crap they love over there) and the arts, too. Overall Chinese girls are pretty ok, I think Korean women are more work and a much higher percentage are outright unattainable. You also get a lot more false signals/women already hooked up with some guy they're set to marry but curious to play around a bit but turn into dead ends before long. Chinese girls are more simple, imo. They'll try the foreigner thing, get the ride of their life from Chuck from Iowa, then realise it's over, marry Chen from Zhejiang, and have a baby.

Taiwanese (if we can put them in the Chinese bracket) go gaga over westerners the most, in my experience. Never had more looks of interest, or more ease in approaching women, other than in Japan. Unfortunately I only stayed there a short while and couldn't make the most of that.

I'm currently working in Eastern Europe!

If you want to talk about women.... This is the place to be!!!! When I go out in the center of the city it is one beauty after another. Especially this time of year when the weather is heating up, and short skirts and high heels are re-appearing.


But anyway, at the university where I work, there are many different nationalities. Lots of Chinese, quite a few Koreans, and a handful of Japanese. There definitely is a difference between the girls from these countries. The Japanese girls are quite conservative (in a good way, not idiot-redneck way). I get the impression for them that they try to show a lot of class and dignity at all times. The Korean girls are quite foolish, and are very immature for their age. They act like little girls...and often try to dress that way too. While the Chinese girls are hard working, and never make problems. However, the Chinese girls are constantly surrounded by all the Chinese guys, and seem immersed in their social circle of countrymen. Because of this, they seem a bit cold to anyone not Chinese. They rarely speak to anyone who isn't Chinese, and when they do, it is a very short exchange.

Because the racing queen, celebrity, etc. would be a pariah among their fans. Losing money would be a motivating factor to not date a foreigner.
