I’ve been using Tinder for 2 months and met a very nice Taiwanese lady we are dating. She has no concerns that I’m not a English teacher.
I’m young retired with a income from UK that I would consider desirable to ladies?
No way man not to Taiwanese ladies.
Tinder matches first thing they ask: are you a English teacher.
Reply: no I’m retired.
Unmatched almost instantly!
2 weeks ago 3 in a hour did that to me.
Present relationship goes down the pan, fuck I’m going to enroll as a English teacher.
English teachers are probbaly desirable because they have western beliefs and thus a higher chance of not being ultra petty, and/or oppressive. no chinese culture family to deal with (double important for women looking for men) and you have an income that is good enough. Plus this culture likes the power that teachers throw around and tend to be respected more for it. Dont assume they like you based on your intelligence with this filter.
Tinder most likely matches people based on keywords and attributes. And each swipe increases/decreases the strength of the keywords and attributes.
The results you are experiencing is because those particular women are looking for 1) a foreigner, 2) speaks English, and potentially other attributes like hair color, eye color, height, etc
So you’re overgeneralizing when you say “Taiwanese women desire…”
If you’re retired, you’ll no doubt run into the perception that you’re old and inactive. But if you’re an English teacher, you’ll run into the perception among some women that you don’t have a good enough job and income (read: that you’re sort of a loser).

I don’t know what they are? Plus do keep having to add present time photos of me to see what I am.
I don’t agree. 4 photos a good description of myself, and they have to match to talk!
I may also add looking for my own age group.
I’m not on now otherwise I would of happily given you a link to see.
Anyhow end of topic.
I shall buy myself a used brown corduroy jacket and glasses to look the part future interviews.
An average monthly salary of $70k isn’t that bad by any measure in Taiwan at any age. But it seems that many women look to eventually settle down with a rich businessman (if most of my students are an indication) and a salarymans income won’t be enough. One not only needs an expensive house but the ability to buy the lifestyle (trips, dinners out at fancy places, nice car)
