"Let's just be friends" what's up with all this?

What’s up with the “let’s just be friends” chicks, 99.9% of the time in Taipei? All these girls I’ve approached want a strictly friends distant relationship. If you actually give them a chance they will flat out tell you they just want to learn english.

I’ve thrown away dozens of business cards and name slips/email slips ph #'s etc. Taipei chicks are ultra conservative or what?

They don’t fancy you.

Brutal but frank. Just the way I like it. :laughing:

And don’t call me Frank.

buttercup is that a “frank” reply or is it a “troll”? you responded within one minute of my post, must be the latter - had a hard day at the kindy school? what do you know about me that allows you to make judgement?

seriously as a reader I’ve seen posts about guys hooking up all over the place. you guys are getting played man! and not “paid”! (“paid” in the way man and woman hit it off). These women here all they want is quick english session, no respect! so if you’re going to give an honest reply, perhaps address what’s up with this place or, how you deal with it. not a loser hard day at kindy wise crack hide behind the keyboard crap.

You can meet me next HH (if i’m not working) if you like. I’m not much different. Why do you think I work at a kindy? I don’t.

Nothing’s up with this place. Really.

Boys? How to pull Taiwanese girls?

Just tell them you have too many ‘friends’ already and just want to have sex … and a possible closer relationship :slight_smile:

Firstly don’t believe everything you read. Actually a lot of these lasses here want relationships but if you’re pushing so hard it’s no wonder they walk away.

Buttercup’s reply may have hurt you in your weenies but we see many of the same type of post as yours. Seeing as lots of lads here are getting their rocks off all you’ve been left with is a business card.

Nothing better than a relationship by email :wink: :wink:

Or maybe should try dating non chicks and real women

by “give them a chance” you mean “try to pull”, right?
It isn’t them distant, it is you moving too fast, most likely.
And buttercup is likely right also.

Hmmm, you do it slowly, easy does it. No need to come across as one with a 10 bar gonad pressure.

Invite them out, but be a little bit standoffish. No need to let them know that you are desperate for action.

Don’t reveal your intentions, however noble they may be. Remember that people in general dig a little bit of mystery - and they certainly dig feeling a little bit unsure about the other persons intentions.

Getting lucky in Taiwan is not hard. The supply of females would appear rather large, so if the first one wants a language exchange, then try the next.

Also, you will never get a female to admit that she’s interested in you until you smoke the post-coital cigarette. IMHO Taiwanese women are hardly unique in this respect.

body language… you can see it in their eyes…if you can’t, then try flashing them a bit of “eye electricity” (I’d appreciate if someone reminded me of how to say it in Chinese) and u can usually judge their response…of course give them a great smile at the same time or you’ll scare the crap out of them

This isn’t always true. My relationship started with me (completely sober) telling my man I was in love with him.

Buttercup is right. It’s just their way of rejecting you with bringing up any negative vibes.

OK, if the woman is desperate, it does not count.

Just because I pay him does not mean I was desperate.

friend’s just a four letter word

You’re in Taiwan. There’s no “end” in péngyǒu. Instead, it can be the beginning of a relationship.

But there is a ‘you’ or a ‘Yo!’, though; what can that mean?

That on it’s own can still mean friend…

Must admit, never had the “let’s just be friends” story in Taiwan before. Have had the “let’s just take it slowly” story though.
IMHO, maybe you’re coming on a little strong. Also, what are your motivations? If you’re just here for a year to make some money, drink till you drop and shag till your balls fall off, perhaps they pick up on that. Women are strange that way, and most aren’t naive.

I think it’s been said here a billion times. Just do your own thing, stop looking and things will happen naturally.

In the words of Tom Hill, MAN UP

If those ungratious prudes don’t want the great fallon_78 as their man, then F’ck them, (or not as the case may be)

Remember those scrags will be clawing for any guy with enough cash for an LG bag by the time they’re 27 whilst you’ll still be rooting girls their age in 30 years time. Feel sorry for the poor dears.

I’m hoping my post will give u that touch of arrogance needed to set u just aloof enough to get them interested.

GREAT!! Now that I have finally quit driving everyone nuts with the bassline from Building a Religion this is going to be stuck in my head for days. Thanks…
