I think I have a different idea of it. I suspect a difference in definitions being the main reason for this argument.
The way I see it, a sex tourist is just here to enjoy the sex industry for a short while. A sexpat is someone actually living and working here for the long term in part to engage in all of the above. Does that make sense?
Actually, what I mentioned above about ABCs/ABTs doing it up expat style here still stands. Some Taiwanese girls donât trust white men anymore, after hearing horror stories from friends or getting burned themselves, but since ABCs and ABTs seem âsaferâ and more familiar, while still offering the excitement of a westernized man, theyâll often opt for that route.
Iâd say itâs about an even split these days, looking around the club. Leery white men and leery Southern Californian Asians. Plus those ABCs and ABTs almost all reliably come from wealthier families, and/or are on stable career paths.
That is the mental image I have of a sexpat: a leery, icky,overbearing and entitled married and middle aged jerk who hits on anything that moves and throws money/guanxi/privileges around. Yucky.
When I used to go bars and clubs I would bump into the same guys at the venue every week who there to pick up. They werenât middle aged though, they were invariably in their 20s.
i disagree with this whole sex pat nonsense, and its kind of offensive. guys are not travelling here for sex. thats a local stereotype i would not expect expats to also carry. sure some guys are making a hobby out of having sex with a lot of girls sure, but hey so are the local guys. what i take issue with is singling out the foreigners, the locals are getting away with just as much shenanigans or worse.
I donât think anyone is singling out (obvious) foreigners, at least not anyone who really knows whatâs going down. Western born Asian men prowl around here for the same purpose â they canât really get any in America, so they come here and instantly theyâre more attractive and exotic for having been to the gym three times and being fluent in English and familiar with western culture.
The thing that makes a sexpat different from your average dog looking to smash as many chicks as possible before he dies is that they experience a markedly higher success rate, and with more attractive women on average, in a foreign country than they do in their country of origin, and that thatâs something they considered when choosing to (s)expatriate.
maybe because of getting slandered in the media everytime anything negative happens in the news? what kind of backwards country puts âyang changâ in the news on tv (where kids can see even) about foreigners? thats not even the worst iâve seen. not to mention all the stereotypes pushed by taiwanese guys who seems to have a problem with outsiders taking âtheirâ women as if taiwanese women are someone elses property.
and you keep mentioning these âleery white menâ as if there are no âleeryâ asian men around. take a look around you there are plenty. especially wealthy ones who expect to be able to treat people like shit just because they have some money.
