So many of these Taiwanese women look so robotic, unhealthily pale, superficial, and passionless. What's with all the lifeless facial expressions framed with poorly faked smiles, V-signs, huge black rimmed glasses, ghost-white skin, almost zombie-like looks, ... list goes on and on. They're a product of a repressive, conformist society. I do not see this in rural southern Chinese women either. The rural southern Chinese women would have a healthier, more vibrant look to them.

This will be especially apparent for those of you familiar with Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Rock, you've been to Colombia before, so I'm sure you can recognize this immense difference. Most light-skinned Latinas would generally not look unhealthily pale and robotic, but instead have a sort of healthy, vibrant, ruddy, and passionate look.
Many of Winston's complaints about Taiwanese young women and society are spot on.
When I tell Taiwanese women that they look pretty, they tend to only say a simple "Thank you" and will have hardly any more reaction. No excitement, no passion. When I tell Latinas that they look pretty, this will usually spark plenty of flirting and excitement!
Falcon,
1. I have not been disputing this point about body language and and apparent approachability of Taiwan girls. Instead, I've been saying that certain western guys can up the quality of their dating life by relocating from US or other Anglo country to Taiwan. Or at least this used to be the case. I'm talking about going up the scale both in terms quality (better looking, better built, and younger) and quantity. I've made this point abundantly clear in my writings here over the years. It may even be that the the repressed nature of this society has helped create this opportunity. And anyway, I believe Taipei has a somewhat better vibe than all those places Winston goes to take his photos. I've never liked rural Taiwan, especially Chiayi. Not a big fan of Taichung either except that it has much better weather.
2. Yes, I was in Colombia several times in years past. The main difference I had in Colombia vs. Taipei is that on first dates, it's often much easier and natural to touch a lot. But if I were to just focus on the quality girls - very young with no children, I didn't have an easier time ultimately getting intimate with them in Colombia than I did in Taipei. In fact, Bogota was much worse as girls tended to always be busy. I remember one time in Cali, I met a cute waitress at a cafe in my neighborhood. After a few visits, I asked her out on a date. She agree and all, gave me her phone number too. It's easy to get numbers and set up dates there. But she just flaked and would not take my calls. That seems to be common in certain Latin countries where girls appear warmest. That's their way of saying no. An uninterested Taipei girl would just not agree to the date. However, I must add, I am not on equal footing in Colombia vs. Taiwan because in the former, I was just a visitor with very weak local language skills. In the latter, I was a permanent resident with strong local language ability. That may be a factor too.
3. This forum is already flooded with essays about how unapproachable Taiwan girls are, how bad Taiwan is, etc. It's getting to the point of rivaling all the rants about American women, the US, etc. I just don't know why people wanna spend so much time dwelling on the negatives. It boggles my mind why someone like Winston behaves the way he does, locating himself in his own personal hell and sharing it with the HA world on a regular basis.
4. If u go to Bangkok, I think u will find out that the quality girls there (the best looking light skinned ones who also attend Bangkok U., Chula, and other top unis u often see in certain areas) are not going to be any better. I think they are worse. I don't like their body language or the closed attitude they seem to exude. They look rich and spoiled. Many middle class urban girls in Taipei who rival such gals on looks have more balanced attitudes.
5. The easiest girls to approach and get to know about anywhere are going to be darker, shorter, and poorer. This goes for SE Asia, China, Latin America, Caribbean, and about anywhere else. There is a strong correlation in attitude and approachability vs. these traits. If there are exceptions, it will be short, dark, and/or ugly girls who are not approachable do to religion or other factors. The exceptions on the other side (taller, lighter skinned, better off beauties who are easy to approach) are going to be extremely difficult to find. Please tell me if you know of any such exceptions. I don't even think Russian girls circ 2013 are going to be that easy for average Joes to get close to if they are the tall and attractive ones unless they are P4P. Another example I found was that in DR, black girls seemed easier to meet than mulattoes who in turn seemed easier than caramel colored gals who in turn seemed easier than white girls (given equal age and looks). So just color or apparent race can have an impact by itself.
6. I hope you will talk to Monkro sometime, perhaps by phone or Skype when he returns to Taiwan in March. I would like you to get his take on the situation in Taipei and why he likes it so much.
