Speak for yourself. You’re just dating the wrong men. I don’t expect a girl to put out just because I throw a few dollars her way. Any guy who does think that way is an asshole and not worth your time.
you got that damn right! Most of them weren’t worth my time. So, what are you doing Saturday night?
Drinking heavily because my (now ex) girlfriend couldn’t stand Taiwan and has fled the country.
Seriously.

Oh well. Fuck her. (you know what I mean)
Sorry to hear that Q. Seems unlikely she didn’t say good bye first? And I doubt she fled to the bottom of a bottle. But you do what you gotta do! Any how, there are so many beautiful women in Taiwan. I bet you won’t stay lonley long. Chear up, and cheers!

Bummer, buddy. Sorry to hear that.
Taiwanese men don’t like to pay for everything, but most of them can’t accept their women pay money all the time for them, especially in the public places where have many people can see that or in front of friends…
Taiwanese women expect men to pay… that’s for sure, but it doesn’t mean they won’t pay for dating at all~ they do give, and love to share everything with their partners…

There isn’t an ‘and’. I never have any idea what you’re talking about. Sorry.
When I was a student it was always Dutch.
When I started working it was the social norm for the guy to pay, unless the girl insist on paying so she doesn’t feel obligated. On a date the guy should defer to the woman’s preference.
The other night I went out with a Taiwanese guy and he actually got mad when I insisted on paying my half. He said he wasn’t a “gigolo”, whatever that means…I think in Taiwan, the man paying is a matter of face. I’ve honestly never been out with a Taiwanese guy who didn’t pay.
Here’s what else: dude also escorted me to the bathroom and waited there for me to return, grabbed my arm everytime we crossed a street, and actually reached over and buckled my seatbelt for me when we got into the car. This kind of treatment from Taiwanese men seemed endearing at first, but it gets tedious after a while. It’s really no wonder that many women here act like little girls, when they are treated as such by men.

Stop dating people like that, they’ll set your expectations too high.

Are you kidding, ac? I don’t want to be treated like a child by a date, or anyone else for that matter. This is pretty typical Taiwanese guy behavior in my experience and it isn’t good. I don’t want a man who buckles my seatbelt and sends me text messages reminding me to eat three meals a day. There was a man in my life who did those types of things, but he stopped when I reached the age of about…um…10.
Erhu,
Don’t worry, once you settle down with him, he’ll just command you to do all the housework from his throne. It’s a typical Taiwanese bait and switch. 
If a girl treated me like that I’d be tickled pink. It’s called romance. Or at least that’s what my serial dating friends call it.
I’m going to have to take pointers from this Taiwanese Casanova you are dating to help me out with my own problems. Buckling car seat might be a problem, since I have those automatic seat belts, but if I put her in the backseat, then it won’t be a problem. Text messaging food, hmm…she’s on a diet, but if I send her pictures of the steaks I’m eating it will be almost like she was eating it too.
I remember when I was dating on Taiwan, girls would ask my permission to goto the bathroom when they had to excuse themselves to the restroom on dates. I thought I was the oddest yet cutest thing in the world. Now I’m lucky if they remember to close the door when using the bathroom.
Uhm…is there something wrong when one dates someone that is like a younger version of their mom or dad. I thought Frued said it was okay…it’s okay…right?

Um, yeah, it’s called being a mama’s boy. Dunno what the female version is. Daddy’s girl?
I think the term is Sugar Daddy or Sugar Mama…

Erhu,
Having not dated any TWese men here, I’m certain that you’ll take it with a grain of salt, but perhaps, this guy, like most of the guys here IMO, are just cluesless about who they are especially when it comes in relation to others. They are just repeating a role. Glad you got out alive of that one…
