Actually that place looks a bit spammy. A better bet might be Thinking Chinese, where I am a member. Or the forums at China Club.

KTV... a good place to meet girls! And it seems that foreigners can sometimes get free KTV treatment, if this post is to be believed!

» Beijing's Heart: Free Personals.
Recently launched (start of 2013), hoping it will grow into a decent site.

The Beijinger Personals: Women Seeking Men.
At The Beijinger there are often more men looking for women than men looking for women, which is kind of rare for a personals site. Unlike GaijinPot in Japan, you don't need an account to read the personals, and people often post their own email addresses, if you want to contact them outside of the machine.

Nanning, Guangxi Province
Go to the V-Touch Cafe's English conversation corner on Saturday mornings, which I imagine would be a good place to meet local girls. Actually, southern China in general seems to be a good place to meet girls. A Russian visitor to these parts wrote: "I was hanging out in one of these places warming up and having a Qin Dao, which might be Tsingtao spelled differently, or might not... A group of Chinese girls at a nearby table soon asked me to take a picture of them with their camera. Then later, they asked again, but this time it was for me to be in the picture and for one of them to take it. Then they asked me to join them. Hey, I was getting popular! No, they only wanted me for my language... There were four of them, just out of college, plus a matronly supervisor and a friend of the supervisor. The supervisor spoke pretty good English, the girls varied from fairly good to almost none, tending toward the almost none end of the scale. All of them worked at a "business hotel" in Nanning, in southern Guangxi province, and they had come to Yangshuo to practice their English. This was my introduction to Yangshuo's informal role as English instruction hotbed for the Chinese. It seems to have become well-known among the Chinese that in Yangshuo they can find English-speaking independent travelers that they can use for practicing English. You can't sit very long in one place in Yangshuo during the day without being approached for English conversation. It's interesting at first, but it becomes tedious as it's always the same conversation over and over. "Do you find your hotel comfortable? What is your occupation? Are your country's national bus lines operated on a punctual schedule?"

Most Chinese women prefer to date men 10 years older than themselves. I guess 20 years would be pushing it? But these were cooked on the grill whole, then opened and seasoned. The resulting oyster meat was aromatic and juicy, and even better with the roasted garlic on top. The texture of raw oysters, with less safety concern and 10 times the umph..."
