Taiwanese girls and their notions of 'health.'

[Whole Lotta Lotta]

I had a date this weekend with a girl who doesn't eat enough, as far as I can see. We agreed to go see a movie together and she said she didn't want dinner before the movie. I hadn't eaten anything all day, so I just got something for myself (of course I offered some to her). She said she wants to get down to a weight of 45 kg. I think that is ridiculous. That is barely one hundred pounds. I should also add that this woman is reasonably tall. She said she thought that being thin (like a stick) was good for her health. Do any Asian girls know that being underweight can also be bad for their health. Really. They are fine the way they are.
Another girlfriend that I used to have would take her arms and pinch them really hard as she believed that this would make her muscles weaker. She reasoned that it didn't look good for a woman to have big muscles. There are two things that I want to say here; 1. I am pretty sure that having strong muscles is good for your health. Where on Earth would she get this bizarre notion that having weak muscles is good for a woman? 2. Does pinching your muscles like that make them weaker anyway?
Does anybody out there have any idea where Taiwanese girls the notions that these things are healthy?

I'm not sure, but I do know that they will look like absolute hell in decades to come when they get osteoporosis in their 40"s and their teeth/skin/hair/nails all start to show the signs of malnutrition. These ideas that they have defy all logic.

I think they plan on plastic surgery for those years.

I once had a date with a girl who was convinced that eating quickly - well, eating at normal pace - was bad for you.

I can remember the slow dipping of the spoon into the soup, and then the oh-so-slow raising of the spoon to the lips.
When the main course came, I'm not sure she was into chewing every mouthful 32 times, but she sure made up for that by pausing between every forkful. For a loooong time.

It was an excruciating meal that lasted for about 2 hours.
There was no second date.

People have very strange ideas about how to keep healthy, and about what's good for you and bad for you. And Taiwan seems to be particularly filled with strange ideas, fueled by media sensationalism.

they get em from their moms.

Bingo. This is exactly what I was going to say. If you are at all serious about a girl, make sure to meet her mom. This is her in a handful of years. If you can deal with her mom then go for it. It's strange how all these little mannerism, beliefs, and psychosis get planted and lay dormant until one inevitable day.

I remember feeling very offended when my first boyfriend said this to me at 18, and then one day when I was 20 or so I was wandering the supermarket with my friend and guiding the trolley...

and realised that that's exactly what my mother does.

I stopped at the creams and exclaimed "Oh. My. God. I'm turning into my mother."

A woman in her 40s turned around and said "It only gets worse from here, honey."

.....

But yeah. Now, at 25, I'm finding myself thinking I'm turning into my mother every other day. So seriously meet the mother. That'll be more or less what you end up marrying.

Taiwanese in general have some of the poorest health knowledge I've ever seen. The absolutely stupid things I hear on a daily basis would astound most people. Things like "you shouldn't pick up heavy things and put them over your head because it will make you short." It's very common for stupid young women to basically stop eating and get their digestive track completely backed up. They don't defecate for days. I actually had a woman come in and tell me she wanted to join my gym so she could get rid of the muscles on her legs. I told her she was in the wrong place and sent her to our competitors. She'll fit right in there.

I am exclusively dating Taiwanese surfer-women from the countryside. They eat well, like exercise, need muscles to paddle, aren't afraid of the sun and don't fucking complain at the beach about the weather, sand, dirt etc. I'm through with dating the underfed, whiny, chicken-legged, ghost-white LV bag toting whiny-ass spoiled city gals.
