Wu Chin-fa, a writer for Kaohsiung's own Min Chung Daily News, emphasizes that Kaohsiungites "stress feeling." He contrasts going to a piano bar in Taipei with going to one in Kaohsiung: "In Taipei the bar girls judge how friendly they should be based on what kind of car a customer drives, whereas in Kaohsiung they 'go for feeling' and respect customers who are generous of spirit."
高雄土生土長的民眾日報主筆吳錦發，強調高雄人的「重感情」，他以到鋼琴酒店喝酒為例，「台北小姐的慇勤度因客人開什麼車而異；高雄則是『搏感情』，看客人夠不夠豪爽。」
