When I was in Hanoi earlier this year I stopped telling people I was American the second day I got there. Hanoi is still very communist and strict, most of the hardliners are still living in that area and I felt uneasy a few times after telling people where I was from due to the looks and mumblings they gave me. So I just put on a shitty Australian accent and people warmed up a lot more.
Vietnamese women have a long history of being money grubbing whores with psychopathic tendancies. There are exceptions obviously, but that's the general rule. Much better counties in South East Asia to choose from where the women are way cooler and aren't manic psychopaths.
