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.
If you're serious about the bet, I'd suggest modifying the conditions to following:

* 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.

WorldTraveler,
You misread what was written. I'm not selling internet fantasy. I said that the BS here by others was internet fantasy. Not that I'm selling it!

It's easy for you to say that you'd take the challenge, but if you were here and saw those closed walls around girls and felt them, you wouldn't say that. Trust me...

Why don't you try this challenge in the US around the East Asian girls there? They aren't that different.

Momopi,
Those are good terms. lol. I'd agree to them. Good point about the customer service thingy, since customer service girls are paid to listen to what you have to say.

This is beginning to sound like the infamous Randi Million Dollar Psychic Challenge. lol

Maybe I'll call it the Winston Taiwan Challenge. lol

Should we amend the terms to apply to only girls in their 20's? Or only to girls who are at least a 7? Or at least thin, not chubby?

Btw, if a Taiwan girl is willing to be in a private room with you, of course they may be open to intimacy more. But that's the hard part, getting them in private. They aren't going to easily go in private with you. They have a very strong defensive behavior that keeps guys at a platonic distance. Thus if you can't get them to be in private with you, then it's a moot point.

Of course Taiwan girls aren't like Russian or European girls. Everyone knows that. But Rock mistakenly said that they were just as open one time when I was showing him my videos. I don't know why. But I think he regretted saying that, since he hasn't repeated it since. He sounds sincere, but he's very arrogant and too adamant about something ridiculous that everyone knows isn't true. Very bizarre guy. I don't understand him.

Eurobrat,
Oh no boy. I've been in the US and Taiwan and can tell you that it's not worse in the US, just different. The cold wall around American girls is different than the one around Taiwan girls. The one around Taiwan girls makes you feel repressed, whereas the one around American girls doesn't.

Maybe the repressed vibes rub off on me more cause I'm Taiwanese? Who knows.

The thing is, when you feel repressed, you become just like them. Obviously two repressed people aren't going to chat each other up.

The body language of Taiwan girls is also much more closed.

At least in America, some girls will stop if you say "Excuse me miss?" whereas in Taiwan they just ignore you. If you come here, you'll see what I mean.

But you can even see this in the US in East Asian communities. You don't have to come to Taiwan to see what I mean.

Eurobrat,
Let me ask you something.

How would you feel if Rock came over to Kansas and said that it was a dating paradise, and that every guy he knows in Kansas has no problem approaching girls and getting dates except you? What if he said that girls there were approachable to everyone except you?

Wouldn't you think he was smoking something or full of it or delusional? Well, now you know how I feel.

How would you feel if Repatriate told you that Kansas girls aren't approachable to you because of your looks, and not because the girls were not approachable? Wouldn't you think he was an ass? What if he kept saying that in every thread? Wouldn't you think he was a total prick who was full of shit?

Well now you know how I feel.

Who is this forum member? Has he posted here? Why did he PM or call you?

It's not because I don't have the money. I have nearly 20k USD saved up now. So why can't I just leave? Well because...

On the surface, it's because:

- too much time arguing on forums in stupid debates, forum is a major time cruncher and addiction
- too much time watching movies, too many movies to keep up with
- laziness and procrastination, without pressure, it's hard to be motivated to do anything
- too easily distracted, spaced out all the time, losing track of time
- can't think or function here cause of the repressed energy which drains me and suppresses me
- comfort zone, too comfortable, have house and car and food and conveniences and TV
- undisciplined, have a hard time finishing projects that I started a year ago
- bad in time management skills
- bad at organizing practical things, losing track of time easily (remember my mind is attuned to deep things, not practical things, so I'm forgetful and not good at organizing practical things)
- perfectionist, have to do things in a certain order, unable to do things because my own mind stops me
- fear, bad parts of my subconscious are working against me and looking for excuses to thwart me
- negative subconscious mind that likes to sabotage my conscious mind's wishes

But on a deeper sense, I've begun to think that the last one is the real root cause. You see, I can't just do whatever my conscious mind wants. Part of my mind is very negative and tries to self sabotage whatever I want to do. So if I want to do this, and my negative other mind wants to go the other way, the result is INERTIA and wasted time.

Do you know what I mean? Have any of you experienced this? It's the worst thing to have your own mind against you. How can you win if your own mind is against you?

Is this what Dianetics called the "reactive mind"? In each of us, there is a subconscious negative fearful mind that makes excuses to stop our plans and make us fail and become lazy. If it takes over, then you are constantly in a state of inertia. It's like your own mind is your enemy trying to self-sabotage you. Maybe it's some form of possession by non-physical entities? Who knows.

It especially takes over if there is nothing pressuring you to do anything. Maybe that's the price of freedom? If there's no pressure, you become lazy and unmotivated.

So you see, I can't just do whatever my conscious mind wants. My unconscious mind keeps making excuses to go against my conscious wishes. Do you know what I mean? It's hard to explain. We each have a part of us inside that works as our enemy. So it's not like I have total freedom over what I do. Part of my own mind is against a lot of my conscious wishes for some reason.

Several psychics long ago have said that there were "dead souls" inhabiting me. They should have been purged, but maybe they are back?

No I haven't been to any massage parlors or brothels since Rock took me to one long ago during Spring. I have tried to, but my mind tries to make excuses not to. Maybe the fear and nervousness that dominates people in Taiwan has rubbed off on me? If so, then Taiwan is very toxic to me and turns me into something that I don't want to be.

Maybe there is some negative energy in Taiwan that tries to bring out the worst in me? Perhaps the "energetic mind parasites" in Taiwan see that I'm different than others, being a unique nonconformist here, and so they've ganged up to try to bring me down, since I'm bigger prey to them than the typical conformist here? You can never know.

If any of you doubts that I'm making as much money as I say, I'll post some screen shots from my PayPal transaction list and bank account transaction list. (when have I ever bragged or BSed about money before, you guys should know me better than that, come on now...)

I have met guys like Rock out here that have said that lol! And they are wrong, most of them don't even know any better because they have never lived somewhere else.

Also on where I am vs. where you are, at least 65% of the girls are fat or obese. So there goes a lot of the odds not out of that probably another 15% are married or in a relationship.

How exactly am I suppose to beat those odds?
Well now you know how I feel. So why don't you ask those guys like Rock, who tell you that girls in Kansas are easy to approach, to prove it by going out with you and approaching girls cold? LOL

Try that and see what their excuse is. LOL

Have you written to any local girls online?

Some of the Asian girls on DIA are in the US too. Have you gone on there and done a search for any Asian girls in Kansas?

http://www.dateinasia.com

Have you tried OKCupid and Plenty of Fish too?

Are there any girls in Kansas who are as sweet, innocent and feminine as Dorothy in the movie "Wizard of Oz"? lol

Aura healings in the Philippines? The PH is not a spiritual place at all and not conducive to it.

I don't need healing. I need pressure so I can get moving.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here with this problem. Lots of guys here have been talking about going abroad for a long time. Why don't they just go to the airport and go? Something in their mind is working against them too, making up excuses everyday, distracting them, etc. We all are our own worst enemies.

Ever experience that too Jester?

Did you see this other thread I started that got a lot of people mad?

"Why do many of you want to go abroad but never do?"
viewtopic.php?t=12403

So you see, sadly, we are not in 100 percent control of our actions and thoughts. There is a negative part of our mind that seeks pain and failure and tries to bring us down and self-sabotage us. I don't know why. Do you? Can you explain it?

Does this topic give you pressure. Will this topic contribute in your eventual moval? At least you're thinking about it more because of us.


About the negative part. I think you mean pessimism. Deep down you're not completely content or not in a place which stimulates your aura in a positive way. So you're unconsious letting out negative thoughts which is also called pessimism.

Momopi,

And if the challenger doesn't succeed he can pay Winston the same money Winston promised him if he won :lol:

No. The challenger is expected to hit on women that HE finds attractive, not women that YOU find attractive. If he prefers chubby girls with big booty and knows how to shake it, then that's perfectly fine.

If you're dating a Taiwanese girl and want to be "in private", you need to create situations where you can be with her in private. This is why when I was with my ex in Taipei, I preferred to take her on trips to other parts of Taiwan or oversea trips to China. If we stayed Taipei, she'd go home to her parents every day and there were few opportunities to be in private.

Then the challenger could win by picking the most unattractive women he can find. Come on now. That wouldn't prove anything. She at least has to be decent looking, otherwise it won't mean anything.

Easier said than done. Any guy can say "How about we go to my place?" and the girl will make an excuse. She knows what you mean. Most girls can't get any time off work either, and even when they can, they say they are not interested in a vacation (with me). Nothing in reality is that easy, unless you are a major pimp daddy here.

The 35 year old virgin lady I'm dating in Taiwan is not easy. When I suggested she stay at my place, her usual excuse would be "I don't sleep well in other people's houses" or "I have to get up to work tomorrow and am afraid I won't sleep well", etc. Women aren't that easy to manipulate or trick into bed. Come on now.

If only it was that easy, but it isn't unfortunately. Women are good at giving excuses anyway. Plus their innocent goody two shoes vibe and personality don't make me feel like pressuring them or manipulating them, it just doesn't feel right.

I don't know. Everything in Taiwan is so complicated, like everything is against me. So damn complicated. Read what my friend said in the thread about that Taiwan girl that asked for 30 million NT. She won't see him again because he flirted with her. See how complicated women are here? It's a total mess. Totally insane too. Sucks big time.

Well my main objectives now, which have been for two years, are to:

1. Put on YouTube the rest of my Russia and Eastern Europe videos, including the ones from Poland. I was trying to do that the last three years, but my mind keeps making excuses.

2. Publish my ebook, but first have to update it. I was trying to do this in January 2011 (where the f**k did the time go?), but then I had to fly back to the Philippines and then Mr S gave me that editing job with the RPG company in Manila, which kept me occupied for months. Then I developed health problems and got lazy and drowsy due to the heat, humidity and discomfort living in Angeles City. Then I came to Taiwan and felt repressed and depressed, and my mind went into escape with movies and got addicted to wasting time arguing on this forum and others.

These don't sound like big deals. But every time I try to do them, my mind makes excuses. WTF is wrong with me and my mind?

Why are simple things so hard? Why does my own mind block me? I don't understand. It's not logical. I wish I had full control over my actions, but I don't for some reason. My mind keeps delaying and sabotaging everything, making simple projects hard to do. What the f**k is happening?

I can't even start a project that was supposed to be done in January of 2011. Why the f**k does time go by so fast? You get distracted by new things everyday and the months fly by! WTF?!

I have no fricking idea how that happens! Honestly!

What can I do? Does anyone else have these problems too?

I also have shitty time management skills. I think the only way to hurry up and finish things is to remove all distractions, including phone calls, and just hurry up and do your shit.

I am also a perfectionist who needs things done in a certain order. So for example, I wanted to publish my ebook in January 2011, so I don't feel that I can continue with my next plan, until I finish that first. Otherwise, there is a feeling of incompleteness that lingers in my mind.

See what I mean? It sucks to be a perfectionist.

There's a lot of shit I wanted to do in 2008 that I never got to either! f**k! Why does time pass so fast? Isn't it because it has to do with 2012 and the pole shift? I heard that even children are complaining about time going by too fast!

1. If the challenger wants to hit on an ugly 40 year old single mother just to win the bet, let him win and pay him NT 5,000 minus expenses, but make sure that he goes through with the date and never have anything to do with him afterwards. To clarify, you are to shun him and not write or talk about him ever again.

2. If you're dating the girl and she is not interested in coming over to "cook dinner together" at your house, or to visit you at your hotel to "go for a swim", then perhaps you should say "next" and move on. Obviously you should not expect this on the first date, but if she still refuses after couple of months then it's time to move on. However, if the girl is a virgin, be warned that if you take her virginity there will probably be drama to follow.

3. Look at a naruto (Japanese fish cake) in a bowl of ramen on the left. The patterns on the naruto is a pink swirl:

Image

Indirect communications is leading the person around that pink swirl toward the center, without have to state the point in the middle. The swirl usually only goes in one direction, make sure you're looking at the naruto and not the tamago.

4. If you're having trouble meeting single girls who are open to dating, you could try a dating club:
http://www.siplove.com.tw/

They have weekend outings with single guys and girls to tour Taiwan, and speed dating events in the cities. I just checked their web site and they have an event specifically for Taiwanese singles with international experience (study/work abroad):
http://www.siplove.com.tw/act/taipei556 ... ee_SE2.htm

Usually the speed dating events will match 30-60 single guys with 30-60 single girls. Ask your cousins in TW to help you sort through the web site and explain it to you. If you have questions, write them down then call them to ask, but keep the Q&A brief and short. The speed dating events are relatively cheap (NT 500-600) so do not expect any kind of money back guarantee.

5. No, speed dating events do not qualify for "cold approach" challenge.

But you can even see this in the US in East Asian communities. You don't have to come to Taiwan to see what I mean.
Eh? I visit Taiwan almost every year and rarely have trouble getting girls at the MRT station to give me directions. Are you asking someone who is stationary, or trying to stop someone in a hurry during rush hour?

I have no fricking idea how that happens! Honestly!

What can I do? Does anyone else have these problems too?

I also have shitty time management skills. I think the only way to hurry up and finish things is to remove all distractions, including phone calls, and just hurry up and do your shit.

I am also a perfectionist who needs things done in a certain order. So for example, I wanted to publish my ebook in January 2011, so I don't feel that I can continue with my next plan, until I finish that first. Otherwise, there is a feeling of incompleteness that lingers in my mind.

See what I mean? It sucks to be a perfectionist.

There's a lot of shit I wanted to do in 2008 that I never got to either! f**k! Why does time pass so fast? Isn't it because it has to do with 2012 and the pole shift? I heard that even children are complaining about time going by too fast!

It's because you've got to many hobbies, are interested in everything this planet has to offer. Can fill your whole day with your hobbies/interests and that's when time flies.
People who are going straightforward in life and career only have that specific interest. That's why they are so succesfull. The downside is that besides work they are not interesting people to hang around. Not all of them ofcourse.

The best would be to find a balance between those 2. At the moment you've got no balance in them.

I suffer from the same problem: not focused. Here's how I can get things done. Do just one thing and don't let yourself do other things, until the first thing is finished. The internet is a tremendous distraction, unfortunately its your job. I basically gave up Facebook, because I wasted tons of time there. Now I almost never go there. I don't like it.

I'll make you an offer. When I come over, we travel to China together, or somewhere else. How is that? Now you have someone to get you out to go.....someone you know you'll have fun with!
