Being black may not be the only reason but I do get what you mean, it could be your facial structure as well. Traditional Asians look nothing like westerners do of course. Some black men will do better or worse & so I think it depends on the person overall.
I don't think it's doomed if you are black in Taiwan. I think you'll be fine. But my channel aims at educating guys on how to handle different situations so that they can be better prepared. The reality of the situation is that only a very small select niche demographic will be open to dating you here. This will apply to all black men here, maybe light-skinned ones less so. That is fine as well
I don't want to generalize all Taiwanese women, but from my impression and from hearing other black men's experiences as well, that's the general trend. It's not a problem exclusive to Taiwan, but I can speak most confidently about this phenomenon in Taiwan as I have spent extended amounts of time here.
@@nilechtv My very best friend is from Taiwan and even though she was born and raised there she was actively bullied and abused in school because she was a "half-breed" (she half Taiwanese half white). Despite how progressive they claim to be xenophobia and racism still seem to be rampant. I'm planing on visiting in the next year or two with her so it will be interesting to see how people interact with us. I'm planing on going hiking in the mountains and going to the forests so I probably won't have a lot to report on the dating market 😆
@@Deszigames thanks for sharing this story. It seems to be a common issue in all of east Asia for mixed kids. Hope you enjoy your trip to Taiwan, it's a beautiful place. You probably won't experience those same issues as a visitor since they're quite welcoming and outgoing to foreigners
I think your hair is making dating kinda harder for you. If you was already in a relationship then it would be fine. But always put your best foot forward. Especially around Chinese. They can be very judgmental about every little thing. I think if you had dreads you'd have an easier time and would look super cool. Good that your still trying tho.
It's not the hair. I've been to Taiwan numerous times, with low buzz cut lined up, etc, and the state remains the same. I'm currently growing it out for specific look that I can style once the hair is of a certain length. It just needs to go through the unpleasant phase to get there. As for dreads, I mentioned in the video if you want to attract that specific niche of taiwanese girls that are into black men (5% at the absolute most), by all means do that, but it won't appeal to the vast majority of the girls here. And of those girls that are already into you (because they like black men), it won't matter much as there are no black people here to begin with. Chinese and Taiwanese are very different culturally. For those who haven't been to Taiwan, they tend to make assumptions about the culture because there is not much knowledge on the country outside of western media representations. But as for Asia, it is almost universal throughout the continent that there is a white standard. That is pale skin, very thin, and eurocentric standards of beauty are what is favored. I've had numerous Taiwanese people including a Taiwanese girlfriend that I had, tell me that blacks are not really seen as dating prospects by the majority over Whites or Asians. I've even heard from other girls who I met here tell me that they think they are less beautiful because they have "yellow" darker skin and are not thin to the standard of the society. Meanwhile they were normal healthy bodyfat range. The eurocentric standard of beauty is very deeply ingrained, you will see girls wear this makeup on their face which makes their face look whiter and it's very common. You will see girls in the middle of the summer wear jackets fully covering their skin to avoid getting darker tan as well as umbrellas to avoid the sunlight. I'm in South Korea right now and see the exact same trends. It is therefore left that outside of Asians and White men, other demographics of men will face an upwards battle. It's not to say your experience will be terrible or impossible, because that definitely wasn't the case for me, but it is not the most favorable market. Other black men who have spent extended time in Asia have mentioned having similar experiences including globalceezy and flightmadness on youtube. Think about it like this, in Africa almost 100% of black women would be open to dating black men, here it is 5% tops and that's being generous. And many of those girls who will have casual relationship/sex with you, won't have long term plans of marrying you or living a permanent life with you. Hope I clarified some things. And this is not to disparage Taiwan, it is one of my favorite places and the people are very friendly and open. I will make a video on Asia as a whole at a later time as I think it will be important insight to share.
It is nice Taiwanese girls are so open vs. some Mainlanders. Still angry about the bigotry against Black men on the Mainland when Langston Hughes stood up for the Chinese when they were being badly treated when being occupied by the Japanese. The CCP should be ASHAMED of themselves that they ignore him and stereotype them in the worst way.
@@XVa-uj8m I've heard of some definite bias on mainland but haven't been there myself to speak on it. I know many very friendly mainland Chinese also so don't wanna lump everyone under the same category.
Almost everything he said in the video applies to mainland China. The girls that are genuinely interested (not just curious) in black guys usually speak English, are into hip hop/ rap culture and Afro music, and most of them have dated a black guy in the past. However, I expected him to be more successful because he’s American. In the mainland, being from a developed country gives you extra points. I have had some girls show interest because they assumed I was American and suddenly lost interest when I told them I wasn’t.
As for the ghosting, it usually happens because she told her friends or family members about you, and those people said something racist or xenophobic. So if a girl says you’re the only foreigner she’s ever met, the odds of her ghosting you later are high. The other reason is some of them assume all foreigners are rich, and when they realize that’s not the case they bail out quietly.
@@brokelaowaiinchina I can see that happening where when they find out you're not from USA but say an African country, they lose interest. I know in Taiwan that there is some looking down at "poorer" countries specifically Indonesia and Philippines . As for my success, I won't say I didn't have success. But it was almost exclusively to the girls in that specific "niche". If not strictly hip hop girls, then westernized and English speaking at the minimum
As a UK brother that has lived in S.E. Asia for 7 years, I would never waste my time with Chinese or Taiwanese woman.
@@robertneilpalmer care to elaborate on your experiences?
Why do you say that?
Had two encounter with chinese and they both told me their parents wont let them date a black dude 😂
@@bigbrother4ever I wouldn't lump Chinese and Taiwanese together but can see that being the case for some families in Taiwan also.
@nilechtv to be fair...in my entire life I only know one person from Taiwan. Who happens to be friend of a friend
thx for sharing your experience.
You still in Taiwan?
@@JayFocused yes I am
If you enjoy cold approaches, try Thailand instead. Plenty of tutorials on the one night stand you so desire.
@@swapw I've been to Thailand. I don't desire one night stands, but lasting relationships

thanks for the support man. I checked your channel and subbed. I do need a lineup will get it when I return back to Taiwan in a week
Wow. Length americans will go for women.😂😂😂. I am not putting on wigs and dreads for no chick😂
That hair needs to go bruv…do corn rows
You’ll look like Steph on Top Boy
@@MezzahFR currently growing it for specific style. I wouldn't recommend cornrows, they put you into a niche which will only appeal to select girls
@@nilechtv You're going to style your hair based on what girls like? not yourself?
@@Ed-xv4sy silly to put yourself at a disadvantage for no reason.
Corn rolls stink if you don't maintain them especially when you're sweating, you can smell it, but everyone else can
big Ws bro
You should try going to India.
@@shin-ishikiri-no I'll pass
@@nilechtv Rude. lol You're missing out.
@@shin-ishikiri-no I don't think it's a good place specifically for blacks. At least from what I heard
@@nilechtv South India is majority black dravidian.
