We need a hangook and LI dating advice thread. Maybe they can chronicle some of their experiences and let the singles learn from their mistakes.
At this point seems like Korea attracts way more foreign women than it does foreign dudes. Most interracial couples that I know are Foreign G - Korean M.
But that's what anecdotal evidence gets us. I know well 6 foreign women, one of whom has a Korean mate, 2 with their foreign husbands, and 10 foreign men (again, friends) 5 with a Korean spouse, 2 divorced from a Korean spouse, and one with an illegal Filipina gf/"living in sin" as my dad would say. ...
Well, that is changing in the last 5 years or so. Average women of average attractiveness being desired for having blond hair or something else. Happened to foreign guys 15 or more years ago. Though past generations of Korean women were also more likely to see won or dollar signs in their eyes and want a guy who could earn money or the best they could get. So, when 2 million won was a good salary compared to some local especially outside of Seoul, some k chicks would iine up. Now the salary sucks and those really hot ones won't flock to you for 2 million won though a few may due to some strong attraction. (Of course some of the hottest ones were working part time or full time as hookers back then for cash too.) Nowadays, I do see some foreign chicks doing the same in reverse. They want to marry some rich oppa or one with a good job (in spite of the feminist independent woman lie) and live an imaginary life like on a K drama. Though I'd still reckon it is a tiny minority of western women and usually less attractive ones (sorry to say that).
I also keep seeing foreigners in general and English teachers in particular, especially teachers on the E-2 visa, accused of this on various internet forums
Korean men are about the most possessive and insecure people I've ever met, and they are constantly trying to rig the game in their favor by bad-mouthing the competition. Sadly, the national media is also run by the ajosshi brotherhood with their code of attacking foreigners.Korean men are the ones paying for sex at barber shops all the time, not to mention all the rapes and sexual violence they subject "their' women to. yet somehow foreign men are always portrayed as the greatest threat to the flower of Korean womanhood. They love projecting their own worst excesses onto foreigners. Sadly, many Korean women believe their propaganda. Korea has a looooooong history of anti-foreignerism. On the surface you may not notice it at first but if you want to find out the reality, just walk down the street with your Korean girlfriend and watch the reaction.
