Meeting Chinese and Taiwanese Women

[Mavericker]

Hi-I would like to meet Chinese and Taiwanese women. What advice can you give me when meeting them?

What can I say to them in Chinese and Taiwanese when meeting them?

[fireball9261]

ma ni3 hao3 (媽你好) - Sorry, I am just joking. It means, "Mom, how are you?" So don't use it! I think a simple, "ni3 hao3 ma (你好嗎?)", would suffice. It means "How are you?"

It could be used for both Chinese or Taiwanese women.

Are Chinese and Taiwanese impressed when you speak Chinese or Taiwanese to them?

Where are the best places in China and Taiwan to meet women?

Are Chinese and Taiwanese impressed when you speak Chinese or Taiwanese to them?

Probably not since she is a Chinese woman.

Yes.

Where are the best places in China and Taiwan to meet women?

Depending on how old are you and what kind of women you want to meet and how much money you have.

If you just want a good time, go to the night clubs in Taiwan or in China. If you have money, you got a lot of choices in both places.

If you want a long term relationship and not "that kind" of women, it would be more difficult but not impossible. They could be your co-workers or classmates if you work or study there. They could be your neighbors, neighborhood shop keepers, etc. They could also be your friends' female relatives or friends. Be respectful, be cheerful, be helpful. Then, you would impress any women and their relatives and friends who could introduce them to you. They might also be in the clubs having a good time also.

Fireball, what are the best hot spots in Taiwan and China to meet women?

What if you want to meet a woman to take her to a science or art museum or center or a research facility or library in Taiwan or China?

I'm a Christian-where are the Christian churches in China and Taiwan?

[fireball9261]

For most Chinese, they would feel honored and impressed to see a foreigner who can say even a little bit Chinese because it showed the person honor and respect China and Chinese. I know it because I am a Chinese woman and I grew up in Taiwan. When my American husband speak a little Chinese to my Chinese cousins in both Taiwan and mainland China, they were all very happy and impressed. I saw the same reactions in many Chinese cities from many people when my husband just said "Thank you." in Chinese. They would feel doubly honored if you can say a little of their local dialects.

If you are a Christian, there are lots of churches in Taiwan in different branches of Christianity for you to choose from, especially Taipei area. I am not sure of China. I know there are a lot of home churches in China and I am not sure the regular state approved churches would be to your liking. They are good places to meet women from the same belief in Taiwan, but I wouldn't consider them as hot places.

I think it would be fine to take Chinese or Taiwanese women to museums or parks or nice scenic areas. Picnics in beautiful places are traditional Chinese ways of dating. I am not sure of the library because most libraries I knew in Taiwan and China were not as nice as the ones in U.S. or other western nations. If you want to meet up with them to study together or something, it would be fine. If you want to date them in the library. It might not be a good idea. If the woman likes you enough, it would be fine to take her to research facilities or science museums, but I think things involving music and art would be better choices. It would be nice to ask where she would like to go or give her a list of choice. If the woman is more traditional, she might say, "You choose." If you can find out from her friends what does she like to do or where does she like to go, you can choose better. I hope you would meet someone more direct and just tell you. If you are in the North China, you would have more chances to find direct Chinese women, but I think they are also more conservative (IMO).

The best places in Taiwan to date girls or people who don't drink are in the shaved ice shops or juice shops. There are a lot of them around with various fresh juices and maybe even some simple food. They are also not that expensive. You could sit there and talk for a long time without spending a lot of money. That was the kind of place young people (teens and 20's) liked to hang out when I was growing up. I am not sure whether they still do that in Taiwan. I do know that they (young Chinese) do that in California, and a lot of them came from Taiwan.

There are also a lot of modern clubs in both Taiwan and major cities of mainland China. I know a lot of young professionals in Taiwan and China hang out in those locations. You would probably have higher chance to find someone who could converse in English. Just be careful and be on guard around the people you meet there. Actually, you should be on guard and be careful any way with any strangers. The clubs are more expensive.

Cafee shops or tea shops (the kind you could sit for a while) are also good for dating in both Taiwan and China. A bit more expensive than Juice shops in Taiwan for sure. Movies are good. Tea tasting are good. Going to music or other performances or lectures are good. Art shows are good. You might meet someone with same tastes there also, You can also go to parks in Taiwan and China and see any of the Taiji classes meeting there have pretty women in them. If so, ask to see if you can join the class. Then, you can meet them in the classes. Taiji classes would be good for your health anyway. Same with other classes. You could also work as a parttime English Tutor for college students.

Mavericker, will you be paying people for the contributions they're making to your book?

This has to be a research project of some sort; the questions seem so odd. I'm so cynical.

[Mavericker]

Hello Adrianlondon.

I'm writing a comic book.

What is odd about my questions?

How would I pay people for their help here?

[fireball9261]

Hi, Mavericker, you need to narrow down the location as well as the age of participants for your characters. People in different locations and different age groups and different social backgrounds behave and speak differently.

[adrianlondon]

I'm writing a comic book.

Cool.

What is odd about my questions?

They appeared to be being asked by someone doing something such as writing a comic book. ;)

How would I pay people for their help here?

Scan in a few pages of your comic book and let us have a look!

[Mavericker]

hi fireball9261-did you get the PM I sent you?

[Lu]

Mavericker, to make things easier you might want to either go to Taiwan (or China) for a few weeks to do some research there; find a Taiwanese who you can call or ask things on a regular basis, and pay them if necessary; just make stuff up if you don't know it, after all it's the story that counts, it's not like you're writing a dissertation; or change the subject of your book to something you know a lot about, so that you don't run in to unfamiliar territory all the time.

Anyway, good luck with the book, and let us know when it's finished!

Maybe Roddy should start a matchmaking service on this site

[ipsi()]

Hehe. Make it a (cheap) pay site, and he could probably retire .

[roddy]

Actually there's an Asia-focused dating service which sets this up for you and you brand it as your own site's service - see shanghaiist and bigwhiteguy for a couple of examples. Can't remember the name of the service itself, not sure if it operates independently as well or only in partnership with other sites. They've got in touch repeatedly about setting up on here but to be honest it's not something I particularly want to have on the site. Even though it would probably make me instantly very rich.

[Mavericker]

Roddy-I know they've got a few Asian dating services out there-this one woman keeps sending me e-mails of herself. I'm not interested.

Do they have anything for African-Americans?

[Mavericker]

adrianlondon , I'd kind of prefer it if people wouldn't mind volunteering to help me out.

I'm on somewhat of a fixed income.

If they want me to pay-maybe we could work something out?

[imron]

and you brand it as your own site's service

Haha, it doesn't quite work so well when both sites then claim:

We're the only service that will match you in THREE different ways, according to your Language Exchange, Dating, and Travel preferences

[Lu]

Roddy, I really appreciate it that you don't have that service. It's fine that it exists, but I think this is not the place for it.

Mavericker, I'm sure there are plenty of such sites for African-American women, try googling.
