Okay, this story might trigger flames from female readers, so just to make things clear, I didn't say this and it wasn't my experience, but I kinda agree with him though.
A friend return to Vancouver is still single, I asked him why that is. He said he is more interested in girls from Taiwan, fair enough, keep the Taiwanese blood line pure. But there must be enough "supply" of Taiwanese girls over there to keep his relationship life interesting.
He said the girls he met over there are those who have just come to North America, meaning that they didn't grow up here. What is wrong with that? I asked.
The expectations are very different, for those who left taiwan early, they still have mindset of early days, that is "low expectations". I remember I had a Hong Kong classmate from University, he only dated Taiwanese girls, not that he isn't good looking, but he told me Taiwanese girls have lower expectations. Little things you do for them, they will appreciate a lot more than girls from Hong Kong.
That is easy to explain, imagine someone who has the luxury to have lobsters/shark fins on a regular basis, it will be hard to impress that person with anything in that class.
Girls in Taiwan nowadays are different now, much more like the Hong Kong girls we know, they have expectations, guys are supposed to this, guys are supposed to do that. What my friend doesn't like is that they have expectations, but it is not like they have more to bring to the table.
For example, they would expect guys to pay for meals, even though they know the guys are not interested in them and it wasn't a date. KTV? guys will pick up the tab. But do they actually do more? No...
The worst part? My friend added, "Even the ugly ones do..."

I should put on my flame shield now...
and to ms. Anonymous, I have been well-trained... ;) and I only bought you ONE drink, you sure about that?
yap~ pretty sure about that.
Because we hardly see each other since than... I am not active as you are , you gave me this website long time ago, and I suddenly noticed our ancestor was coming form the same place 廣東梅縣
really? then you can be a Hakka person too! Any hints on who you might be?
現在有自知之明的人越來越少了.. thats all i can say =D
Maybe Mr. Lamb and his friends should find different places to hang out and meet different type of people. Those with high expecations aren't really interested in meeting people; they are more intersted in "using" people.
Unfortunately, we are talking about a whole generation of people, has nothing to do where we meet these people. Try talking to younger ones or the ones who grow up in Taipei...
It is obvious that I am getting old and have begun to lose touch with the "younger generation"... Not too long ago, I was the "younger generation". :S
welcome to the club! you will love it here!
To Ms. Anonymous,
I am the "friend" that James is talking about. "Should find different places to hang out and meet different type of people" is exactly why I moved back to Vancouver. Taiwanese girls who grew up in Vancouver (not FOBs) are brought up more properly, and they are much better looking. ;)
