I think it's around 6 months. Most of that in phils. Spent some time in Shanghai, a bit in Taipei, HK, and went out a few times in BKK.
White guys kill it in east asia, as far as I'm aware. I've heard Korea is the hardest, but I've never been.
Where is it actually easier for an asian dude to pull in east asia, specifically? Korea? White guys have rockstar status over there. Why else would girls come up to me in public, in clubs, pretty much anywhere, and want to take pictures with me?
There are a lot of gringo groupies in Shanghai, and pretty much any big asian city.
Sorry for to sound condescending Tenerife, I'm trying to word this as gently as possible so that I don't derail the thread.
But, your making a generalisation of a continent based on experience spent primarily in one country. (And the one that's usually vouched for as the one with the biggest 'White God factor'). Plus your trips elsewhere have been very short.
In 15 months of living in Korea and Taiwan, the number of girls that have approached me (outiside of a club) can be counted on one hand, (and those were all in Taipei actually) I think it's been about three times. (I'm a 7/10 who dresses very well.)
Maybe you're more likely to be approached if you're better looking than me, but:
My friend is a 9/10. He literally looks like the dude from Maroon 5. In 12 months in Korea, I don't think any Korean girl approached him, and he didn't get a flag.
This phenomenon was really magnified on New Year's Eve in Gangnam, where he made out with four girls. (Western girls want this guys dick and approach him regularly.)
(Though in his defense, he wasn't hell-bent on trying to get a flag. I'm just pointing out that having a white face doesn't equal instant pussy.
Also, if you're reading this mate, I apologise for talking about you on the internet :-P)
So just to be clear, I'm not hating on you Tenerife. I'm sure you have a lot of value to add to the forum. But I'm just reminding you (and others) that they should only speak with authority on places they have been to. The only places I talk about are Taipei/Third-tier Korea and recently Bangkok (though I've been clear to state that I'm still a newbie in the city).
