Taiwanese Women: What are they really like? | ChinaHush

Depending on the article or blog post and the point of view from which it’s written, men writing about Taiwanese women tend to attribute certain characteristics to Taiwanese women.  These characteristics include:

• Materialistic – Taiwanese girls are believed to be attracted to
  money.  They are thought to fall in love with a man’s ability to give
  them generous gifts and large allowances, rather than the man himself.
  They are also seen to be focused on buying clothes and accessories.
• Narcissistic – Taiwanese girls, especially the younger girls, are thought to be self-centred and insecure.
• Introverted – Those who are not selfish are thought to be overly shy, whether in public or in intimate settings.
• Shallow – Taiwanese girls are seen as obsessive followers of soap operas, talk shows and fashion trends.

On top of this, it is believed that Taiwanese girls seek out foreign
boyfriends, especially those who are relatively wealthy and/or
attractive.  This makes for quite a list of stereotypes attributed to
Taiwanese girls, mostly by men.  But that is really all they are,
stereotypes.  While some may fit into some of these, it is far from
descriptive of all Taiwanese girls.
