>really? why?
I came to China for a few reasons:
1. it's very cheap
2. you're treated better than in America
3. the schools give full rides to almost any American
if you go to a big city, all three of those are out the window. they're still cheaper than America, but much more expensive than, say, Zhangzhou or even Yantai. they see foreigners all the time, so you're nothing special, to the citizens or to the schools.
I'd say you should only go there if you refuse to learn any Chinese whatsoever (a lot of people speak English in the tourist hubs) or if you're taking a quick vacation and want to see Chinese culture. personally, I'm not a sightseer, so I've settled down at a smaller university after doing a few trips

If you go out looking, yeah. I've been to a few martial arts schools and there's tons of girls there. the younger you are, the better, but they really don't care about age gaps as much as other countries

>real polite or fake polite?
a mix of both. a lot of restaurant staff are going to be fake polite, but they're still better than American staff. I can count the number of outright hostile or aggressive Chinese people I've met on one hand. On the other hand, I've had so many people come up and ask for photos or strike up a nice conversation out of the blue that I lost count by the third week, and I'm probably a 5/10 in murica
>Also why are they unable to speak in anything below "loud" volume?
I haven't had this problem, a lot of the people here are very quiet. I've seen a ton of people who really enunciate the Mandarin tones so they'll be screaming while they're on the phone, but that's rare
