Are Taiwanese Girls Easy (or are you)?

Are Taiwanese Girls Easy (or are you)?

It has got to be one of the most over-done tropes on the internet: the age-old question of whether or not the local girls are easy. Blogs and YouTube videos with click-bait titles abound on the topic and it's been a contentious topic among expats for years. I thought I would offer the OldHand take on matter.

Certainly, it's no secret that the average western guy will find he has a lot more attention here on our shores than in the west. Exoticism is still an aphrodisiac, it seems.

Name of the motel is the Yi Jia Yi Motel, "Yi Jia Yi" being a homophone for 1+1 in Mandarin. Love motels often cum (oh my!) with appropriately punny names.

Indeed, I have witnessed western guys with complicated love lives for quite some time. I've known quite a few guys who've juggled multiple relationships at the same time. Some were even married. They seem to view themselves as desirable, occidental Right Said Freds (too sexy) in the orient.  I even have an acquaintance arriving soon who is being housed upon arrival by a local lass who essentially wants a boy toy. Sexual favours are DEFINITELY expected. Lucky him...or not. I didn't tell him about psycho xiaojies. You see, OldHand does not consider concealing a little info now and then to be lying.

It's also a little known secret that many ads for language exchange-- 語言交換-- are really more like a certain sort of 口水交換-- or saliva swapping. Maybe bodily fluid exchange would be a better term.

Expecting pics of an adult nature? Fogetaboudit. Obsess over the luscious folds of this hibiscus. Ooh, bokeh. Gimme more bokeh till I can't take it, baby!

So all this kind of stuff leads us back to the oft-asked question: "Are local girls easy?" But OldHand don't play dat. I hope you didn't come here looking for yet another cliche-ed expat blog article. No, I really want to ask:

Are Foreign Guys Easy?

Yeah, I said it. Maybe we are, collectively, an easy lay. Now, ol' OldHand isn't going prude on you and he hasn't been only dating his, well, old hands-- meet Loosey and Tighty. I have certainly partaken in the local dating scene. I met some nice girls, but I also met some who were definitely seasoned. I've observed that we're definitely chess pieces in a larger game of sexual chess going on in society here. Perhaps the 洋腸 foreign sausages are the pawns, or maybe another accessory to go with the local ladies' name-brand handbags. Maybe newbies are quickly sussed out by local females as lonely and easily manipulated. They can smell the fresh meat! I must admit, I've fallen for girls who were only in it for the fun. What a blow to the ego-- as well as other parts-- they were.

A bit of seriousness for a moment. We most likely are seen as an obligation-free lay. Relationships come with obligations among locals; we are most likely seen as coming with no strings attached. At any rate, it is worth consideration if we are the pursuers or the pursued, the objectifiers or the objectified; the ones taking advantage or simply being taken-- and without a whole heckofalotta effort.   

No, I think when we observe the foreign objectified males balancing multiple lady friends, we should not ask if the girls here are easy. We should ask if we're the ones who really are. What a bunch of easy man-meat that we are!
