Are mainland China girls better than Taiwan girls?

It sure seems like it. I've corresponded with women in mainland China and they seem a LOT more sincere, serious, straightforward and authentic, like girls were in the 1970's. They have not been corrupted with narcissism like Taiwan and the US have.

I used this free dating site called DateinAsia. Any of you use it too? I've met a lot of high quality women from China through it. But the Taiwanese women rarely ever write me back, and if they do, they are only polite and write bland things. They never offer to meet me or show personal interest.

But the girls in China write me everyday and show high interest. The difference is astounding. I used to think girls were the same in China and Taiwan. But now I know they are clearly not. Can anyone explain why they are different?

Any of you who have been to China want to comment?

By, the way, I'm a Chinese American, which is considered a hot item in China, much more than it is in Taiwan. So maybe that's a factor too.

Also, when I was in college, I noticed that students from mainland China seemed more relaxed and easygoing than the ones from Taiwan or Hong Kong.

However, the Chinese have a reputation for being repressed, cold and cliquish. So how do you explain that?

Any insights or experiences?

Mainland girls are probably more interested in marrying you.

Probably not soo easy convincing a TW girl to marry, right off the bat.

Don't be so simple. If you find a girl that is good for you, from anywhere, then that is the better girl, from Taiwan, or China, or Mars, or across the street.

Next door is better. But the ones too close may know us too well, and at least the ones further away can be powered by illusion. haha (on both sides) :lol:

The difference is explained by the difference in the average GDP per capita. Lots of Chinese girls want out, and would be happy to marry someone from the States. The Taiwanese standard of living is good enough that mostly only girls who are actually interested in you as a person will act interested.

Aah, Winston Wu is back....

OK, if they are poor and they see you as a gateway to a rich future, well, then they will be all over you, you have to be totally dense to avoid making that connection.

So sure, Filiponas, Chinese, Vietnamese, and thai women would likely be happy to snag anyone which can take them somewhere better and with a financially secure lifestyle. If you were in that situation, you would do the same.

Don't think it's love though, love (apart from the love of your vallet) has nothing to do with it, and you are 80% sure to be dumped once they can get on without you, or a better prospect ventures into their crosshairs.

You was dating in the 1970's? Christ, how old are you? Are you Mr Wu's long lost great uncle from San Jose?
