As mentioned above, Vietnam is a crowded country with almost 100 million the population residing in the country. In the country, 85.7 percent of the population are Vietnamese who dominate the country while the rest represent the minorities. Vietnam is known for its tradition, culture, literature, religiousness, music, cuisine, agriculture, biodiversity and lots more attractive places to visit. The upbringing and Vietnamese traditions are quite conservative compared to other countries. The people in Vietnam take all these cultures and traditions extremely seriously and especially there are lots of rules and regulations imposed on women. They are raised with these traditional values from their childhood itself, with religious views playing a vital role in their upbringing. In Vietnam, about 73.2 percent of the population follow Vietnamese Folk religion, 12.2 percent follow Buddhism, 8.3 percent follow Christianity, 4.8 percent Caodaism, 1.4 percent Hoahaoism and 0.1 percent of the population follow other religions. What’s common amongst all these is, women dominate a lot of percentage in the above-mentioned percentage of the population when it comes to following any religion.

Vietnamese women wearing traditional costume

Dating a Vietnamese girl becomes more different when compared to a Western woman. As Vietnamese are traditional in nature, elders generally judge women by their attire, behavior, approach and other aspects of a human being. You have to think twice before taking any step further. As time is changing, the majority of people’s mindset is also changing not only in the cities, but it is still noticed that women are judged on the basis of their care-free nature, their lifestyle as well as other aspects too. Vietnamese generally find it difficult to accept the onset of globalization or modernization.

Women residing in Vietnam are not given enough chances to raise their opinions in public, contribute to any global trends or movements, or even use the internet as per their choice. They are not even empowered to walk freely on the roads in the night which actually becomes difficult for anyone to approach them. They are mostly dependent on their families as they are not given the scope to step out of the house and earn for themselves. This degrades their confidence level to a great extent. Keeping Vietnamese culture in mind, even the government governing the country fail to take any positive steps for women due to lack of public support. Moral values, familial values, and other important values constantly refrain women in Vietnam to stand up for themselves.

If we start categorizing women in Vietnam based on their appearances, you will also see a similar trend. Because of the culture and their geographical presence being dominated by mostly Asian countries (both North and South-East Asian nations), Vietnamese women are quite beautiful compared to the Westerners. Even the authentic pure Vietnamese women are gorgeous when compared to the Chinese. Combining the influence of both East Asian and South-East Asian nations, Vietnamese women are considered as some of the most beautiful women across the globe. They don’t have a simple signature look, which may confuse you to a great extent. Their appearance complexion is unique when compared to Westerners. They have straight hair (mostly black hair), dark eyes, flatter face, small nose, wide cheekbone, and “shovel-shaped” teeth.

Most of the girls in Vietnam are thin and short when compared to the rest of the world. Their average height is slightly above 5 feet (around 156 cm). It is also determined that the shape and size of women’s breast, color, and shape of women’s nipple, labia and buttocks of women varies depending on their race and origin. Most of the women have small breasts because of their slim body, but they still appear to be gorgeous.

As globalization is hitting all over the globe, people in Vietnam are showing more concern towards the education sector. While the educational system in Vietnam follows quite a rigorous curriculum making it competitive for the students, girls in Vietnam are also receiving the appropriate focus and guidance from the government. Private and public schools in Vietnam always try to improve and improvise their education system on a regular basis, which is why Vietnam is considered to be amongst the emerging GDP growth rate contributor in Asian regions. Owing to the rigorous curriculum, their educational reputation is not so good amongst the Westerners as they have noticed a significant increase in the suicide rates every year, students getting into depression or their anxiety level. With all these areas of development in Vietnamese educational system, one good thing that should be noticed by all the Westerners is, there is no discrimination amongst boys or girls when it comes to studies in Vietnam. The rules and regulations apply the same for both the genders. This is the reason people generally prefer pursuing higher studies in Vietnam, especially girls.

RatingLooks Looks of girls: 3 / 5

The looks of Vietnamese girls are considered as above average. Those girls who reside in big cities are exposed to Western Culture, so you definitely see a significant difference if you go to rural areas.

The rating given above are based on the surveys conducted in both rural as well as urban areas justifying the appearance of women in the country of Vietnam.

RatingAttitude Attitude of girls: 3 / 5

The attitude of girls or women in Vietnam is quite reserved. Due to the traditions and culture followed in Vietnam, the girls in the country are very much religious and shy in nature, which means it is quite welcoming for you to approach them with ease. Women don’t feel much comfortable when surrounded by men, even if they are from the same locality. For any foreigner, it may come across that Vietnamese girls are rude in nature. The women lack confidence as well as proper communication skills for which they generally avoid interacting with people. While most of the girls, who are residing in big cities and are well educated, generally prefer interacting with foreigners. They do have a lot of confidence.

How to Pick Up Girls

Vietnamese girls have unique qualities that make them more attractive for men to “woo” them. Generally, most of the girls in Vietnam are not expressive in nature, which means it is difficult for you to understand whether they are really interested to spend quality time with you. This is the basic reason why it becomes difficult for any foreign men to approach any lady or girl in Vietnam as well as to earn their trust. So, it is quite understandable that picking up girls in Vietnam is not quite an easy task. It will take numerous dates and meetings for you to convince her, after which she may allow you to touch her. When you compare to any other Asian countries, girls in Vietnam are much more shy and timid in nature, this means that they are more feminine.

The culture they follow in Vietnam teaches all women must serve their men, understand them and follow what the men say. This means it becomes more difficult for you to find any girl who would be interested in talking to you. However, the girls or ladies in Vietnam are known for their sexiness, smartness, and sweetness. Most of the girls really have a sweet and pleasing voice.

Communication is another potential problem which would restrict you in approaching any girls in Vietnam. Most of the girls, ladies or women in the country of Vietnam are not literate, which obviously means that they would not know how to communicate in English. If you are trying to approach any girl in Vietnam, make sure you learn a bit of their local language which would help you in communicating with the girls. Taking all these factors into consideration, picking up girls in Vietnam becomes difficult. The educated girls in big cities are your best chances to communicate with English.

RatingPickup Chance of picking up: 3 / 5

The chance of picking up girls in Vietnam is around average. Rating given above justifies that for all the foreigners or even local men have to work really hard to “woo” any horny girls on the streets of Vietnam. They have to work extremely hard on their strategy or game plan and have to learn some unique tricks for approaching any girls roaming around the streets. You must know which are the appropriate places to visit, where they can easily find any girl who doesn’t create much chaos.

Tips for Daytime

Considering the tradition and culture in Vietnam, picking up girls or even approaching ladies in the night time itself is difficult. When we talk about daytime, it becomes extremely difficult and not promising for any foreigner to approach any Vietnamese ladies. Women residing in big cities within the country are working ladies who would be rushing to their workplaces in the daytime, girls would be running to attend their lectures or schools, while others would be busy in their household works. Hence, it might be difficult for you to hit on any women under the sunlight as it may not yield any fruitful results for you. In the smaller cities or towns, it would be slightly easier for you to approach any ladies or girls given that they have much leisure time to spend.

Adding to this, women in smaller cities generally prefer not to interact with any strangers abiding their cultural rules and regulations. Apart from this, their communication skills in English are pathetic. You would need a lot of assistance from any local guides to make you understand what you are looking for. If you still wish to approach any ladies in the daytime, it is highly recommended for you to research more by visiting local places and studying the women residing there. In big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, you will find more people speaking English, than smaller towns.

How to approach the girls?

Approaching the girls during the day in a country like Vietnam requires a lot of hard work and a good plan. Firstly, you need to research and study the nature, type, and feature of the women you are looking to approach. Then you need to understand that whether she would be interested in the talking to you. If yes, then it would be easy for you to convince her in all terms. There are lots of questions that should be answered correctly before you approach any women. Questions such as, is she rich, does she want to talk to you, is she interested and lots more, have to be answered before you take any step further. Being a foreigner, you already have an advantage as most of the women prefer dating foreigners, but communication would again play a vital role in restricting you as well as them to approach. Women usually prefer men who are well dressed, well-spoken and well behaved.

Make sure you dress up well, work on your vocabulary or grammar and then approach the girls with a simple yet impactful compliment. Remember, the first impression is always the last impression for any girl who would be interested to talk to you. Then, as the conversation proceeds, you can get a bit personal depending on how the girl is reciprocating towards you. You can ask her name, her hobbies, her interests, even phone numbers. If you feel, you are getting positive responses from her, you can go ahead and ask for a drink or coffee. Not to forget, women in Vietnam are quite traditional, so they may not be comfortable in drinking alcoholic beverages with you, so to be on a safer side, you can ask her for a coffee. Be soft-spoken, gentle and humble while speaking to the girl. This will leave a good impression of you on her, which would, in turn, increase the possibilities for you to meet her often.

RatingDaytime Chance of picking up at daytime: 2.5 / 5

Consider all the above-mentioned factors into consideration, chances of picking any women at the daytime is slightly below average in the country of Vietnam. Hence, the rating given is very much justified and one must plan properly before actually approaching any girl on the streets. Vietnam does not promote this culture where you can approach any girl on the streets at any possible time, so it would take planning into account before approaching towards any girl and asking them to spend quality time with you.

Tips for Nighttime

As Vietnamese culture doesn’t promote flirting with girls during the daytime, picking up girls in the night time becomes easier for foreigners. It is during the night time that most of the women get free time to spend with strangers if they are comfortable. After wrapping up for the day in their offices, women also want to spend their leisure time productively. They put on their best dresses which can attract men and start their wild partying in some of the famous clubs located within the city. Men have to study their body language to understand what exactly women need and how they can utilize this leisure time giving them the best experience. It’s important for you to also dress up properly and then approach them with confidence. This is what most of the women want men to do. You can approach them politely, be humble to them and subtly compliment them regularly, which makes them also feel comfortable with you. Try to approach the ladies in a group, as single men mostly are considered losers and definitely book a hotel for the night which is close by to party venue, so you need not have to spend much time in traveling.

However, nothing is easy when Vietnamese culture and traditions are taken into consideration, it is necessary for you to keep trying hard so that women feel comfortable around you. The rating is given above definitely justifies this when we take all these factors into consideration. Young Vietnamese girls offer better chances as they belong to a generation which has grown up assimilating Western culture, much faster than the older generation.

Mature Ladies and Cougars

In a country like Vietnam, the chance of picking up young girls itself is a big task. Approaching mature ladies would be even difficult for you. It depends on the place you visit and how the women are treated in that place within the country. If the girls or women are exposed to western culture, it would be easy for you to find any mature lady within the premises of that place. The chances are very much lower when it comes to picking up mature ladies. Women, girls or ladies in Vietnam are religious and conserved in nature. The chances are quite high that women who have crossed the age of 40 are raised in the highly conservative atmosphere and surrounding, which even would be restricting them to talk to their male family members. In such a case, you being a foreigner, approaching these ladies would not be a good idea.

As the culture of Vietnam is mostly dominated by the men, women are supposed to conduct themselves with dignity and obey their men without any benefit of choice. They need to follow the proper rituals to give inspirations to their younger generations. Most of the mature ladies are expected to be faithful wives, ideal daughters, and perfect mothers. Hook-ups or even roaming with strangers are not a part of their culture, which defames them in their respective societies. It is best advised if you want to date or get laid with any mature ladies, use online dating apps or websites. If you are lucky enough, then visiting upscale bars or restaurants would also help you in getting associated with any mature ladies.
