If you're serious about the bet, I'd suggest modifying the conditions to following:Winston wrote: Come down to Chiayi (people say southern Taiwan is friendlier). I will take him to the big night market here where there are 100+ hot girls. If he can cold approach them and get numbers and dates and get them to be open and flirtative, like you can with girls in Russia/Eastern Europe, then I will give him 5,000 NT and pay for his trip home on the HSR. In addition, I will provide food, accommodation and transportation. He has nothing to lose except some time. If his claims that Taiwan girls are open and approachable are true, he should have no problem meeting this challenge.
* Hit on 20 Taiwanese girls with cold approach and score at least 1 date (5% success rate). This means getting the girl's contact info and arranging a date with her afterwards, where she shows up and not flake.
* The challenger may choose to do this at the night market, MRT station, dance clubs, parks, stores, malls, whatever.
* Exclusions: the challenger may not go to a bar known for local women chasing foreigners. By "Taiwanese girls", I mean locally born and raised Taiwanese and not 1.5+ gen Taiwanese Americans, Indonesians, etc.
* Winston may follow and observe discretely at distance to verify.
* Should the challenger succeed, the prize money will be NT 10,000 minus any reasonable expenses paid (by Winston).
* If the girl was working in customer service position at time of approach, the prize money will be reduced to NT 5,000 minus any reasonable expenses paid (by Winston).
Taiwanese are not Russians and you should not expect them to act like Russians. Taiwanese women can be open and amorous in private, or at least after she has known you better and is interested in you. Do not expect to be holding hands with a Taiwanese girl on the 1st date. However, that is not to say that Taiwanese women are prudes, they'd usually sleep with you after dating for a while. Virgin women are relatively rare in the dating market.
The word "flirting" in English means to act amorously without serious intentions. That implies that you're playing around, which is not a good thing if you're trying to date someone. i.e. you're dating a girl and she tells her friends that she's just flirting with you, that implies you won't last long.
