One in four brides last year came from abroad - In Taiwan

[dArKeR]

A quarter of the 173,000 Taiwanese men who got married last year did so to a foreign woman, Directorate General of Budget Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) figures showed yesterday.

The majority of these women came from China, Hong Kong and Macau, with the others coming from Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand.

According to a survey released last month by Ministry of the Interior's Department of Household Registration, foreign women are the best, and sometimes only, choice for Taiwanese men who are old, handicapped or from rural areas of the country such as Penghu, Yunlin, Chiayi, Nantou and Pingtung.

Another reason for the rise in foreign spouses could be the increasing independence of Taiwanese women, which for some makes them less appealing as wives. (2)

"Taiwanese girls of the younger generation are too wild and lack loyalty to their husbands," said a 26-year-old taxi driver in Taipei. "Foreign girls from Southeast Asia and China are more submissive." (3)

(1) is a false statement. They could marry other older unmarried women or other handicapped women. Their are hundreds of thousand in both categories. Taiwan has/had probably the highest vehicle accident rate in the world and thus mnay people are left handicapped.

There is no such thing as a rural area in Taiwan. Just an absoluted lie (misinformation). No place is more than 20 minutes by scooter from a MAJOR 24 hour city.

(2) Yes the girls a really independent now!!! Scrumpdillyishus for a foreign boy to meet a Taiwanese girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes them more appealling for me. The just don't know how to say 'no'.

(3) Not too wild for me! The more the better!!!!! I won't touch loyalty, who needs it? Taiwanese girls are submissive at the right times.

You guys never been to SE Asia you have no idea what your missing!

1. the article has a point

(2) Yes the girls a really independent now!!! Scrumpdillyishus for a foreign boy to meet a Taiwanese girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes them more appealling for me. The just don't know how to say 'no'.

a woman who doesn't know how to say "no" is not a very promising candidate for marriage, no matter how "scrumpdillyishus" she may be.

(3) Not too wild for me! The more the better!!!!! I won't touch loyalty, who needs it? Taiwanese girls are submissive at the right times.

You guys never been to SE Asia you have no idea what your missing!

on the other hand, if you've never been in a committed relationship with mutual loyalty, maybe you have no idea what you're missing either.

2. (3) I hope I can miss that RPG forever!

(2) Has more to do with life than maybe what you're thinking?
a. do you want another triple decker ice-cream with fudge and nuts? YES!
b. do you want learn how to swim? I'm a little afraid but YES!
c. do you want to go to a Punk Rock concert? But first you have to chug this? YES!
d. do you want to try marijuana? YES!
e. can I kiss you? YES!

It's a wonderful life in SE Asia. The girls are innocent and excited about all apsects of life and never say no to a new experience.

(3) Is loyalty a 60% divorce rate? Or is loyalty life with the person you're with now!


The Pope, Bush, Reagan were/are dirty murderous liars. Why should I listen to anything they say about human relationships?
