I think it is the biggest problem. The area I am talking about is in the Central Highlands and most there do not speak ANY English. There are many ethnics who don't even speak good Vietnamese. I helped a Vietnamese teacher who has a private English language school by giving some classes for him. Younger people and more-educated people are more likely to speak passable English. It is a barrier without a doubt. An adult class of 6 students which I taught had 3 single women in it who could speak a little English. One was homely, one was 45 years old, and one was 25 and a solid 7 IMO. So that sample indicates to me that there is probably a large enough base in a town of 400,000+ that one could work with.hammanta wrote:I like the sound of this. How big of a problem is speaking only English there?Devil Dog wrote:nlp, your Post/knowledge ratio is off the chart. Time after time I see you post things based upon "seems like" or "I heard" and you obviously don't know what you are talking about. I spent time in a city in Vietnam which has a population just shy of 500,000. This is not a tourist city, and people there looked at me and treated me like I was a rock star. I checked to see how many profiles from this town are on DIA. Zero. Nearby town of about 200000: Zero. Another nearby town of about 400000: Zero.newlifeinphilippines wrote:I remember on dateinasia there was a very limited amount of vietnamese women. So i figured that was a measure of how interested. Indonesia also has low amount too for the sheer population size. Fili has a lot more women per population. So if we use that as a measure indonesia and vietnamese are similiar and much harder to get than fili women but the government and visas and strictness make it hard to enjoy oneself in vietnam. Vietnamese are very pretty though. but for me looks isn't everything I have to enjoy the personality and i seem to click with girls from the less chinese orientated socieities.
This PROVES that Vietnamese women don't use DIA much, and it proves nothing else.
To say that Vietnamese women have no interest in men or western men is ridiculously incorrect. I can say that based upon spending over 10 weeks in Vietnam over the last 2 years.
I will note that I don't think this area would be good for trying to get a bang count. You are going to be VERY visible and your activities will be noticed. I think it would be good if you are looking for a wife or LTR.
