Trust me, I am not putting this as a priority, I am just asking this and only this because it is the only question I can't find on job related websites that I visit.
Not being alone is super important to me at this point in my life, so I just want to know this to narrow down places I look for jobs.

I was wondering if it is easy for an American to find a nice girl to date or if they have problems with foreigners. Does being white and from the United States make it harder or easier for me to meet single girls in my age range (22)?JR8 wrote:What is it about the SGn dating scene that you are wondering about?Tony3d wrote: But I am just asking about the dating scene because it is the only thing I have not been able to find a good answer on with the rest of my research.

That is a very good point. But my question would be, is the general attitude girls look for to date different from the girls in other places?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Even if he isn't, he won't have a problem either.

Being Asia, I would assume they are alot less loud and abnoxious as people from the US, but I could very well be wrong about that. I myself have alway been alot less loud, but still sociable with people. I am still horrible however at trying to start a conversation with someone I don't have a real reason to talk to.
I don't do well with the kind of girls I meet in the United States, and that is one of the contributing reasons I am considering moving elsewhere.(though most deffinatly not the only or even one of the major contributing reasons) Girls here don't seem to react well to guys that aren't loud jerks.
Really? Try Bandung then.Tony3d wrote:So being a white American with light hair and green eyes is going to be a major advantage? Even if I don't have lots of money?
Regardless of what country I decide to go to, I plan on living as cheap as possible, I don't need extravagant fancy things to be happy, just some people to talk to, a guitar to play, and a computer to do my artwork on.
Does anyone know about the oportunity for musicians to play small shows locally?

Let me be honest with you.
Asian girls find dating white men exotic. We (I'm speaking as representation but that doesn't mean I subscribe to that) will go gaga if the new boy in the town is single. We will try to get your glance, giggle when you make cute mistakes, and try to get your attention as subtly as possible.
Then when we finally score your phone number/Facebook friend request/e-mail address or you ask for ours, we will feel like the queen of the world and probably brag it all out in our Facebook or Twitter. Ever single photo taken with you (even in group photos) will be tagged mercilessly in our Facebook walls, tweeted out or heavily filtered via Instagram.
And then the date. We will be dressed up to the nines, lining our eyes as dark as possible (for those with single eyelids), fluff up our false eyelashes and colour our pouts in ever bright scarlet. The top will sink low and the hem will hitch up.
If attraction ever survive personality and attitude, you will see more of us. But let's say for some of us, we aim for wealth (yeah, that's the shallow misconception we have about Caucasians) and promises of stability and new life in the Better Side of the World. So if you fail to please some of us with your ability to pay for our meals, movies or drinks or LV handbags, we will shy away and pretend that nothing happened between us (or hop to other better Caucasians).
This is just for the laughs - seriously. But I wouldn't say that isn't true.

So... When you talk about being wealthy, how wealthy do you mean? Do you have to have a lot of money (like CEO status and being a property owner who can go eat at 5 star resuraunts every single night and buy diamonds for his gir) for the girls to want to stick with you, or just have a steady job and a decent amount of disposable income?the lynx wrote:Let me be honest with you.

What is their general opinion on Videogame Designers?
In my country, if I were to tell a girl I am a Videogame Designer, she would be out the door and that date would be over in a flash... The Videogame Industry is horrible for single guys here.

You are white boy so hold on to your whiteness and you should easily get a girl who will be willing to adapt to your finances/lifestyle etc etc.

The chances are slim anywhere, either way it is going to be a whole lot of work landing a job, I am very much aware of this fact. But the simple fact is, I am 3D artist and I have to look somewhere in the world to find a job, my chances are even worse here in Arizona, and maybe a little bit better in California or up in Canada, but still not great.v4jr4 wrote: Videogame Designers?

I am just trying to gather information on what places could make me happy so I have a goal to work toward.
Do girls in Singapore find being a Game Artist as such a giant turn off as girls here in the United States? I have to be careful when talking to girls and tell them that I am, an artist, who happens to make videogames, and that tends to keep them from rejecting me so fast when they find out what I do...

I think Valve is hiring. Also, stay away from EA.
