It probably varies by region (baidu-ing 西餐妹 had a taiwanese forum as its 2nd result I'm guessing it's not that), but in Beijing this has happened: http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2015/08/13/woman-stabbed-outside-uniqlo-sanlitun

e: And beyond this unfortunate incident, there seems to have been a real big uptick on attacks like these and on foreigners in China this year, leading to warnings about not going out on more western-focused holidays like Christmas

But yeah I don't know the word.

It's not that Pandemonium is wrong 100% of the time. As I said above, I actually agree with him on not dating coworkers. But seriously, there's no reason to be as aggressive as he is. I can't figure out what he's trying to prove.

And I don't think a "I'm thinking of asking her out" post qualifies as a joke post. I guess I also have standards. Oh, and of course the fact that goons are goons.

Where did you pull this nonsense out of? And what the hell kind of conclusions are you jumping to? This is so far afield from the topic of this thread that I hope you get probated. Skeezy foreigners who date their co-workers is definitely a thing that happens here. The farkakte you just posted here is wrong and has no connection to Taiwan. Reading hellthread does not make someone a gamergater.

As long as we're talking about this subject, I don't know if I've ever mentioned in the thread but at the very first buxiban I worked at the (Taiwanese) branch manager and head foreign teacher were a married couple, and they had met and started dating when he was a new NST and she was a CT at that very same branch. They had their first child when I was working there, and are currently expecting their second. :3:

That same branch manager actually encouraged me to ask one of the admin staff out when we were both working there. I did, she said no, and we both moved on and were fine working together because we're both adults.

So what you are saying is they got married, further validating my point. And how do you know everything was cool? You don't speak Chinese. That chick might have been saying some stuff to the other Taiwanese workers. Just sayin', bro.

Posters still defending dating co-workers even after Moon Slayer says he was totes just making a joke. You guys need to make up your mind. Either it's not cool and he was making a facetious post that everyone except me was clearly in on, or it is absolutely okay to try to smash your co-worker's(') puss(s). I hope you all can reach some sort of consensus.

I've worked in a bunch of Taiwanese companies where I was the only foreigner around and this is totally the case. Locals love dating coworkers. In fact in my current company, there's quite a few couples too.

Lmbo at posters in this thread using Taiwanese offices and the office environment in general here as standards for how they should comport themselves. And suggesting that a cram school and an office are similar. I'm glad you're all riding that wave of "interoffice romance is totally cool and everyone is doing it, bro". Rock on, goons, rock on.

P.S. I'd say more Taiwanese meet in college than offices. Or meet through friends of friends. You folks have fun making GBS threads where you eat!

True, it's not a good idea, but it's not some foreigner vs. local thing like he was making it out to be.
But I guess he's being quasi-racist now, so who knows where he's coming from.
