Asian Girls Bringing Friends on Dates.
Asian girls bringing friends on dates, or what I call the 'friend factor', this is part 3.
We discussed the girls looking to get a free lunch for her friends at your expense, we mentioned the good girls and face, now a note about cultural differences and how they apply to dating Asian girls bringing friends on dates.
In the west, I often go out to eat alone, and can often see others enjoying a nice meal by themselves. This is common and of course there is nothing wrong with this. In many parts of Asia though, eating is a social activity and people are scared to be seen eating alone.
I have a friend here in Taiwan that always wants to go out to eat with me. We have nothing at all in common and the scene is always awkard but he has told me again and again that he loves good food, but can't go out and eat by himself. For me, eating out alone is natural, normal and nothing to be ashamed of or sensitive about. For him, it's something that is never done.
This same feeling is of course displayed in the woman of Asia. It is perfectly normal and natural to go out with a bunch of friends. There is often no thought given about doing otherwise. It is assumed that you would want to go out with all their friends.
One last cultural phenomena related to Asian girls bringing friend on dates. The idea of 'dating' is still rather new to many people is Asia, especially in the more traditional areas. When someone sees a man and a woman out eating together, it is always assumed they are married or about to be married. The idea of dating many different people until you find the right match is often looked down upon. If you are seen with many different girls, you may be judged harshly and this is double true for woman. Given this reality, it is much safer to go out in groups. In a society and culture where 'face' is everything, different rules will apply.
