I'm going to be graduating at the end of this semester and my immediate plans involve going to China to try and make a go of getting a finance job/ setting up a business eventually. These are fairly medium-term plans, in the short run the best I can hope for is getting a job teaching SAT or GMAT (I currently teach for Kaplan here in the states) and making okay money while I improve my Mandarin and try to land a "real" job and or business. Anyway, the point is I'm looking at China as a long term investment but in the beginning I'll just be another loser teacher, albeit hopefully test prep teacher.
So with that said, how is China for white guys? Is it a black hole of frustration like I've been hearing about Korea? I'll be 23 years old when I get there and I'm quite athletic, not one of those fat balding dudes at any rate. My only concern is that I'm not that tall (5'9) so I'm not gonna get any points from that like maybe most other white dudes in Asia do. I do like the Asian wimmen, so there's that. With all that said, how would you guys rate my prospects as far as getting girls is concerned?
