My (white, female) friend recently visited several Chinese cities that are usually less common with tourists. Since she doesn't have a reddit account, she asked me to post for her instead.

To keep it short: She had some uncomfortable experiences with men. Not only would she get hit on several times a day (which by itself doesn't have to be a huge deal), but it is often done so in a somewhat clumsy way. Most of the men were rather shy and timid, while simultaneously not accepting a no and disregarding her boundaries. She told me she got hit on by several men in the same night, who refused to leave her alone when she asked them. Some were very touchy, kept following her and then had the audacity to ask if she would like to go home with them - even when she said (lied) about having a boyfriend.

She asks if anyone has any insight or experiences to share. Our guess is that it's a combination of awkward attempts at flirting, the stereotype that white women are "easy" and an overall lack of women in China paired with her "exoticism"
