But when you regale me with tales about what a hot prospect you are and what a prolific playboy you've become as per your experiences outside of America, I gotta shake my head and think, "about any middle class dude from an industrialized country could pull similar girls left, right, and center, even if he's overweight, middle aged, bald, short, etc., so what's the big deal, what's to be proud of?" You act as if you scaled Mt. Everest or something.
Date girls like the one we met in Eslite bookstore and then we're having a conversation. Otherwise, enjoy your successes and all but understand you are playing ball in the D-League. Those gals would go with about anyone in spite of what they may claim. If that's really your true genuine taste (not a temporary issue) as a first worlder, then you are rare and very lucky. You can probably date such girls most of your remaining life with little effort. No need to get married. Just be the career playboy you fancy yourself as.
Rock, why all the negativity? I really believe you should be thinking a little deeper than that. This is stuff that I'd perfectly expect from a typical "Taiwanese dad."
Some points I'd like to make.
1. No, not just any middle-class guy could pick up any of those non-middle-class women. This is a faulty assumption made by many Americans as well as Taiwanese. They're definitely not all in it for the money. Winston could rebuff that very easily and tell you that it's guys with charisma who actually succeed very well with them. I'm also talking about flirting with them and just experiencing the warm, friendly aura from them, which is a favorite topic of Winston's. Like the Visayan girls at the park that I cold-approached: they initially thought I was just some non-local Filipino guy, but they were still super friendly and approachable. That initial friendliness and approachability of many folks outside the USA / Taiwan does not happen because I'm flashing my passport in their face.
With the Indonesian women as well as Mexican ones I've met, the first thing that impresses them is definitely the charm. Speaking to them in their language and impressing them with charisma and humor spark that initial attraction. A few Indonesian women in Taipei have reported to me that some old Taiwanese guys tried to pick them up by saying that they'd give them a lot of money to be their mistress, just completely up front like that. That usually fails, is seen as offensive and demeaning, and does not impress the Indonesian women at all! And many mestiza women in Mexico are still usually very resistant to dating Anglos, as AmericanInMexico has reported.
It's being a "charismatic anthropologist" that gets me so many of those ladies. For example, any rich, old, ugly guy CANNOT easily get an indigenous Indian woman in Guatemala. They stick to their own kind like many of the Mexicans and Indonesians do, and in order to penetrate that, you'll need to be a "charismatic anthropologist."
It's my true genuine taste too. There's no temporary issue at all. These ladies are genuinely attractive to me, both on the outside and inside.
2. The purpose of my trip reports is not to brag about myself, but to give others an idea of what different peoples and places could be like, from an HA perspective. If that were my purpose, I might as well could be making collages of myself with all those women, as Winston did. Since we all know there's a little too much complaining on this forum about Western women, my trip reports would give hope to all those guys stuck back in the matrix and know that there really is a way out of all that social disconnectedness, rejection, and loneliness. It's about furthering Winston's message and adding a sense of adventure and optimism to the forum, not about scaling the Mt. Everest of Int'l PUA (you're thinking about RooshV).
3. Career playboy? Absolutely not, you're not getting the point. That's the last thing I'd ever be, and I'm looking forward to getting married to a good woman too. I want long-term relationships, which is why I keep emphasizing personality over and over again, over looks and all else. I've been doing a lot of traveling lately due to family visits, conferences, work, and other reasons, and these reports are pretty much by-products of all these trips. This is about
how it's possible to get that initial attraction, and how there's none of that "ice wall" that makes asking out women nearly impossible. Lack of initial attraction translates to datelessness for many folks, and vice versa.The pictures and stories of all the women discussed in the posts are about how they're
approachable as potential dates, not about how I'm Mr. Roosh V tallying up my count. I never said I was gaming them, just that I'm amazed by their being approachable and down-to-earth.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you understand that I do not have any negative intentions at all.
