Some people think of Taiwanese women as strict, unromantic, robotic career women with poker faces that make dates seem like tough interviews with bank managers. They will grill you about your family and your career plans like there’s no tomorrow.
I think after a certain age, like 30 or so, it’s reasonable for someone to cut to the chase with certain make-or-break questions. Like, are you religious? Are you financially stable? Do you want kids? What do your parents expect of me? How will we care for them in the future? Or whatever else is critically important. The things you’d rather not find out after you’ve already spent a significant amount of time dating.
I in Taiwan also never had a date likes (being no local does help). It really depends on the person. Some girls like nice restaurants (when they choose) and look for person that can provide this, others are fine with paying themselves NT$60 coffee and just happy to talk or do other free romantic activities.
I was impressed by the young mature well-spoken women at an exhibition I went to recently. Granted they always put their best sales and marketing people in front for these things. Had a good conversation with one young lady but unfortunately heard her refer to me as adoga. That I didn’t like. But overall yes they were mature. Those ones anyway. I guess I haven’t added anything to this thread with this post
Dammit I hate to agree with you but yeah. Absolutely disgraceful that it is still commonly used. Likewise anytime “laowai” is dropped behind your back to refer to you in third person.
