I cannot fully answer this question because it is so different and there are so many aspects to it that in my short time here, I have only grasped a tiny bit.
What I can tell you is that there is a difference between city girls and village girls when it comes to dating foreigners. A city girl is more comfortable whereas a village girl is open to the idea, but fears being shunned by others.
And let’s face it: it does happen. Some of the locals will look down on a Chinese girl for dating a foreigner, and if they come from a small village there familial and community opinions mean a lot, this will heavily impact their behavior towards you. Some will not hold your hand where they know people. I heard one girl used to walk on the other side of the street. This act falls apart when they’re in a new area, but near home base, they’re looking out for their reputation first.
I have some personal experience with this, but it will have to wait. I want to see how it pans out first. Don’t worry. By next week, I will have a post about it.
