Taiwanese women have bad reps. Before foreign men can even meet Taiwan women, they’ve already formed their ideas of how women in Taiwan are. Mostly, people view Taiwanese women as materialistic, self-centered, insecure, uneducated and, insanely jealous and possessive.

What are Taiwanese Women Really Like?

The question is, are there any truths to the claims and why have Taiwanese women gotten such a nasty and negative reputation? Let’s find out with this list that talks about realities VS lies about meeting women in Taiwan.

Educated VS Uneducated

As mentioned, people view Taiwanese women as uneducated. On the contrary, a lot of Taiwanese ladies have gone to the University, can speak English well and can discuss any topic under the sun with anybody. According to Brookings, Taiwanese women’s educational attainments have increased. This is true in Taipei and the other main centers of commerce. This view of women from Taiwan being educated is a contrast to the first idea, but there are bad apples out there. While there are independent, well-spoken women, there are also those who are

This view of women from Taiwan being educated is a contrast to the first idea, but there are bad apples out there. While there are independent, well-spoken women, there are also those who are not so well-spoken.

Maybe foreign men mostly keep in touch with the not so well-spoken ones which is where the bad rep might originate.

Open-Minded Families VS Strict Families

Taiwanese parents are as strict as any other Asian mother. However, parents of Taiwanese girls are more open to the idea of their daughter dating a foreigner. You probably do not believe that. There might be apprehensions at first but, eventually, they will come to terms quicker compared to parents from other Asian countries.

Shy VS Out-Spoken

Most Taiwanese girls are viewed as loud and overly confident. This idea is false as they are shy in public. It is also true when meeting foreign men. So, if you meet one for the first, don’t expect her to initiate a conversation.

But, once you date Taiwanese women and gain their trust, you can be sure that a lady will warm up to you and show how she behaves. The more you spend time with her, the more connected you are to her the more likely that she’s going to open herself up to you.

Materialistic VS Practical

Last but not the least is the question of being materialistic. There are both sides to this. Some Taiwanese girls are greedy. These are the girls who believe that by marrying a foreign man, they will gain a higher social status.

And, there are also girls who are not like this at all. There are plenty of Taiwanese women who look for serious relationships. If you’re the serious type, these are the women you should be meeting.

Two Sides of a Coin

While most of the stories can have been debunked in this post, some stories are true. Which brings us to a conclusion: there are different kinds of Taiwanese women. You want to meet the right ones and stay away from the bad ones who are most likely responsible for Taiwanese women’s bad rep.
