Have been staying at one of the main Bund area hotels (nanjing west), and i would say you got to put yourself out there as the inclinations towards foreigners are not as high as before. Probably got to lose a bit of the inhibitions of one as a foreign expat and bring yourself to the grassroots level. Still, you need to filter and target the right profile of ones that are down for it. Typically office types, singles, and those out for business trips, etc. Across the spectrum, it’s harder to just go up and meet people as there are too many of these Chinese young punks out there manifesting this PUA culture (whom they think is still relevant). Always reckon coffee stores, book places and lounge bars as most appropriate modus operandis in Mainland

The local genuine shanghai girl can't be bothered with foreigners/expats.

Usually the ones you are able to pick up for a ONS are 外地 from other poorer cities.
