The BEST Countries to Date Asian Girls (My Top 5)

Look, I hate making general statements. But since this is a popular topic and all, I'll give my hot take after dating girls for the last 15+ years from a wide range of countries.

From Myanmar to Laos, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. When you're abroad you'll simply have access to a wide range of attractive women.

So while I don't like making broad statements because women are women and they are not radically different from one place to the next, there are a few characteristics I've noticed and cultural differences to be aware of.

So let's get to it.

#5: Philippines - I know, what?!

I'm sure this ranking will surprise many people since the Philippines is incredibly popular, particularly among older gentlemen. But it comes in at number five for a few key reasons.

Most importantly, I'm just not that attracted to Filipino women. They're lovely people and a lot of fun, plus they speak excellent English, but I've personally never met a Filipino woman I was really that attracted to.

Beyond personal preference, you also need to consider whether you could actually live in these countries long-term if things get serious. For me, while the Philippines is a beautiful country, the people are friendly and hospitable and a great overall place to visit, it's not somewhere I'd want to settle down permanently.

There's also the cultural expectation to consider as well.

Filipino culture is collective in nature, families help each other out financially. As a Westerner used to more independence, you need to understand that if you get serious with someone, there may be expectations to support not just her, but her extended family as well.

This isn't necessarily bad, but it's important to know what you're getting into and make sure she comes from a good family that is not in need of your financial support. Again, you're an adult, use you're brain.

Pros:

• Women speak excellent English.
• Very friendly, family oriented, fun personalities.
• Popular choice with established expat communities.
• Beautiful country to visit.
• Easy for Americans to get a long term visa.

Cons:

• Personal attraction factor (subjective obviously).
• Economic expectations from extended family are a consideration.
• Not a country I would want to live in long term.

#4: Thailand - “กิ๊ก” (gìk)

This might surprise people even more than the Philippines ranking. Thailand comes in at number four because I struggled to find meaningful relationships there, despite living there for three years.

Don't get me wrong, if you're handsome, successful, and looking for short-term fun, Thailand is fantastic. But out of roughly 30-40 some odd women I met each year through dating apps and social circles, only a handful were relationship material.

Strangely jealous

I found Thai women tend to be more jealous than usual, somewhat immature and overall promiscuous (both men and women move in this way I noticed). Thai culture has this "gik" concept, essentially having a side guy or girl is totally normal.

In my experience, especially in Bangkok, women always seemed to have backup options ready. If any problems arose in the relationship, rather than working through issues, they'd just jump to another guy.

I'd say it's about an 80/20 rule with Thailand.

80% are short term, fun girl material while 20% are wife material you can build with. Again, I'm not saying they're good or bad. It's not a moral judgement I'm making, just an observation. Nothing wrong with short term if that's what both parties want.

Overall, if you're in your late 20s or early 30s, doing well financially, and want short-term fun, you'll love Thailand. But if you're looking for a serious girlfriend or wife, it might be challenging. Plus, like with the Philippines, I wouldn't want to live in Thailand long term.

Pros:

• Excellent for short-term relationships and fun.
• Great if you're handsome and successful. The whole.
• "Pay to play" culture for less attractive men is an option.
• Amazing country to experience.

Cons:

• Hard to find meaningful, long-term relationships. Women don't work through problems, they just jump to a new guy.
• "Gik" culture.
• Women tend to be more jealous and immature.

#3: Indonesia - Muslim Vietnam

I've spent months in Indonesia, visiting Bali multiple times and staying in Jakarta as well. Indonesia is actually great for dating.

Despite being a Muslim country, they are not a strict religious culture. When I first visited Jakarta, I was shocked by how sexually open and fun they were, completely different from my conservative expectations.

A Few Things That Surprised Me About Jakarta (Girls, Food, Travel)

Jakarta Indoneisa. I solo traveled there for 5 days and wow, what a trip. In this post I’m going to document my short experiences there.

EDGE of DAVIDEdge of David

What I really like about Indonesian women is that they're more relationship-focused, similar to Vietnamese women. They're also straightforward about what they want, whether it's casual or serious.

Most Indonesian women seem relationship-oriented, and when they move fast, they move fast on all fronts, both relationship-wise and with intimacy.

Indonesia also offers variety. In Jakarta, you get what feels like "Muslim Saigon" to me, while Bali gives you opportunities to meet foreign women from Russia, Germany, and elsewhere.

Also, don't get stuck on Jakarta or Bali. There are lot of great, less popular places to visit in Indonesia.

The only reason it's number three is the religious aspect.

If you get serious with someone, her family will likely expect you to convert to Islam for marriage and raise any children Muslim. It's totally understandable given their culture, but it's an important factor to consider.

Pros:

• Women are relationship-focused and straightforward.
• Sexually open despite being Muslim country.
• Move fast on all relationship fronts.
• Variety between Jakarta (local) and Bali (international).
• Can meet quality foreign women in Bali.

Cons:

• Cultural/religious dynamics to navigate

#2: South Korea - Yes, really

Korean women almost take the top spot. The only reason they're number two is because I just don't want to live in South Korea.

My experience with Korean women has been nothing but exceptional. They're beautiful, elegant, well-dressed, and well-mannered. They're generous with their time and money, and honestly, I think they're almost the best personally.

If you're looking for wife material, you can't go wrong with South Korea. Korean women are very attractive and make excellent relationship partners.

The living situation is the only drawback for me personally, but if you're open to living in South Korea, Korean women are incredible.

Pros:

• Beautiful, elegant, and well-dressed.
• Excellent manners and generous.
• Perfect wife material.
• Serious about relationships (not hookup culture).
• Make excellent long-term partners.

Cons:

• Wouldn't want to live in South Korea permanently

#1: Vietnam - Obviously!

No surprise, Vietnam comes at the top of my list.

Vietnam offers the perfect combination: incredibly beautiful women (Vietnamese women are some of the prettiest I've encountered) who are honest and upfront about relationships. If it's casual, they'll tell you. If they're serious, they'll tell you. There's no games or manipulation like with Thai women who are themselves running around with multiple other men.

Here in Saigon, dating is fantastic if you're reasonably attractive and in decent shape. However, if you're an older man, you'll probably prefer the Philippines. Vietnam isn't a pay-to-play culture, women here aren't particularly interested in fat bald old men, and you can't just throw money around like in the Philippines and Thailand.

You can find both casual relationships and marriage material here, which gives you options based on what you're looking for.

Is Vietnam perfect? Of course not.

Hanoi can be difficult for dating apps due to scammers trying to take you to expensive bars for commissions. Da Nang, while popular with expats, doesn't have a huge dating market due to its smaller size.

For me, Saigon is the sweet spot. The best place to meet women and potential wife material. But you do need to be reasonably attractive and socially competent.

The deciding factor: if I married a Vietnamese woman and had to live in Saigon, would I be okay with that? Absolutely. I'd have no problem with that long-term arrangement, unlike the other countries on this list.

Pros:

• Very attractive women.
• Honest and upfront about relationship expectations.
• No games or manipulation typically.
• Options for both casual and serious relationships.
• No a pay-to-play culture so you won't see any Western creeps.
• No problem living in Saigon.
• Great dating scene in Saigon.

Cons:

• Need to be reasonably attractive and in shape, otherwise you'll struggle.
• Not ideal for older men who let themselves go.
• Hanoi has scammer problems on dating apps.
• Da Nang has limited dating market.

Final Thoughts

Again, I hate making blanket statements but for the sake of this topic, I'm kind of forced to generalize. If you're thoughts are different that's fine, I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for.

Like I always say, everyone has their place in the world that they love and connect with.
