I am a swf from america and never dated a korean of course race don't matter to me I was raised to love everyone no what color you are. Its what your heart that makes you. But anyways just because these men are over 33 yrs old that dont mean they less of a man, useless,abusers or just plain outcasts. They have sh** they deal with. So what if they didn't meet yours or their family's criteria they still have feelings, they have morals,they have hearts the gets trampled on like the rest of us. Yes I was married twice and both times they physically and mentally abusers, and cheaters if course they reason I divorced them but not all men ate like that. If these men get married after 33 so what who cares maybe they just wanted to establish their careers first,or maybe they didn't find that one person that makes their heart race and their souls restless. But to assume they are rude arrogant beaters is just stupid on your part. But that's just my personal opinion.

He always complained that I was fat, which I wasn't! I showed him pictures of Marilyn Monroe, who had the same body type as me. He said, "She's a pig." He would have preferred a skinny girl with no curves. His parents despised me because: I was older than him, I am a high school dropout, I am an atheist, I was poor and often homeless, I was estranged from my whole family, I worked low-paying jobs like cashier and data entry clerk, and, I am an American white woman not Korean. I worked hard to hold on to the relationship, but in the end he chose his family over me. Family, education, and career always came ahead of me, with him. It is amazing I was able to make the relationship last as long as it did, or that we even got together at all really.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857223277141275487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-33534756495568633422015-10-09T11:51:55.422-04:002015-10-09T11:51:55.422-04:00Hello.

For i stance when I hugged my Korean nephew-in-law goobye he told me not to do that because he wasn't gay. When I first hugged my wife's mother goodbye she was surprised by the gesture but very much liked it. I have sort of made hugging common place in their family now.<br /><br />2) Sharing and expressing your feelings is done less. Again I surprised my wife's mom when I ended the telephone conversation by saying, 'I love you'. Her mother very much appreciated the sentiment and now returns the favor. When I said it to my sister-in-law it was regarded with shock till Seolhee explained that Western siblings commonly express this sentiment to family when saying goodbye. Once understood Koreans very much appreciate the gesture.<br /><br />3) Koreans can be very critical. A Western person's best friend might tell you you look good when you look shitty to make you feel better. In Korea a Korean's best friend will tell them the truth because they think that is the best way to help them. If they think you are fat they will tell you so. I generally agree with this method of brutal honesty but in certain cases where motivation is necessary it can back fire.<br /><br />Just note that these are cultural things that each of you bring into the relationship. With a litle compromise on both parties parts you can find amiable solutions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696884582372287516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-7699040659520435802015-01-28T10:39:47.444-05:002015-01-28T10:39:47.444-05:00Yes!!

As men like feminine women, asian women are desired by not only asian men but by white men, black men, Jewish men, Hispanic men, etc. <br /><br />In contrast, asian-american men have the lowest market value. As women prefer masculine men, they look down on asian men with wimpy voices, short stature, and small dicks. <br /><br />Now, why would asian-american women with high market value want to be associated with asian-american men with the lowest sexual market value? In Asia, as there are only asian men and asian women, asian men don't have to worry about competing with men of other races. But in America, asian women can choose superior men of other races over asian geeks. So, lots of asian women marry outside the race because they feel ashamed to be associated with loser asian men. <br /><br />This is why lots of asian men go back to their countries to find mates. Back home, they don't have to compete with non-asian men. Also, their US citizenship is a trump card. They can tell an asian girl that if she marries him, he can take her to america and buy her a big house. <br /><br />I think some asian girls feel some degree of repressed guilt for rejecting the men of their own race as lovers. Asian-american girls may choose to be friends or co-workers with asian-american men, but they sexually close themselves as lovers to asian-american men. So, they try to compensate for theit guilt by being extra-nice to their fathers. "Dad, I don't wanna marry someone like you, but here's a set of golf clubs."<br /><br />In Korea, Hyundai is the standard car. But in the US, korean-americans can purchase superior cars. So, many don't buy hyundai that is seen as an inferior product. Likewise, korean-american women see korean-american men as inferior products and rebuff them. <br /><br />This article explains the WHY.<br /><br />http://www.isteve.com/islovecolorblind.htm<br /><br />Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15050671703914324692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-2111416683469316372014-09-28T07:19:06.936-04:002014-09-28T07:19:06.936-04:00I'm a white woman dating a Korean man who was...I'm a white woman dating a Korean man who was adopted as a baby and moved to the states.

With three grown boys in the family, I honestly can't agree with any of these generalizations of what Korean men want. My neighbors sons are all very bright, two are doctor's and the youngest is still in med school. One is married to a white woman, she is very average but is a wonderfully supportive housewife and mother. The second son is married to a Korean physician but she is not domestic, doesn't cook or clean and probably never made a bento box in her life. She is very outspoken and is clearly the head of the household. The third son recently got engaged to a gorgeous african american princess. She is a model and actress who has two college degrees, comes from a well off family with traditional southern baptist values. She loves her guy but insists on a modern relationship... None of that " i am man stuff". All three sons chose different types of women and the all seem happy. The parents are accepting of their choices and only want their sons to be happy. Our families are very close and we are looking forward to becoming one big happy family when our children marry next spring. Korean men likes are just as diverse as other men, there is no roadmap that can tell you how to win any man's heart. Love can break through all barriers; racial and cultural differences and ridiculous stereotypes!Msknoitallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656811733393781701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-82634417173852129462014-08-15T12:33:11.321-04:002014-08-15T12:33:11.321-04:00Oh my glob, I loved this article.

On one hand it can be feel how they despise them (through of their movies) on the other hand it seems they try to imitate them and become an european looking person. It is sad that not the good staff are followed. Eg. overrated beauty (most of people are not natural beauty so it can be really frustrating and money eating when they try to become someone they are just can't and become totaly artificial) and no reason, I mean every race has its own natural beauty in a way or another. And cosmetic consumption, designer stuffs, plastic surgery and of course more liberalism on the field which will ruin society sooner or later. Telling this with good intention as my country live through this earlier than yours, we could experience it in a whole... together with ruined and almost unreachable health-care or debt which will be debt generation after generation due to politics and weakness / blindness of people.Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935194024448226122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-5452420188002598292014-06-10T19:20:18.561-04:002014-06-10T19:20:18.561-04:00It is not just korean.

According to my experince young people rather tend to spend time with foreing people and more open than middle aged or older (pubs help a lot) :-) But possible reasons: the others consider them inferiors / intruders and deal with them in that way. Lack of proper knowledge of the other's language which case speaking is rather a burden after office-hours. Cultural differences, different kind of education, tales, even movies, books, food, social meanings. Some can be funny (depend on how open minded we are) but some is rather annoying or found to be disgusting or barbaric, and so on. Funny example: we blow out our nose into a napkin if get cold. They suck it back, and sniffing. We think that their way is disgusting and ulhealthy - and they probably think the same about ours. :-) I live in a different country, I am white and they are white and when being in a bad mood often feel that here is the end of common stuff among us. (In fact I have more common with koreans according to their dramas in the field of taste, food, education, history, morals, etc, than here with locals.)Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935194024448226122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-35897825608235540492014-06-10T19:01:13.925-04:002014-06-10T19:01:13.925-04:00Sorry but do you really think that cultural differ...Sorry but do you really think that cultural difference does not affect the other party? I understand that it would be hard for the korean family but it would be hard to the other party as well.<br />So the couple just should sacrifice their lives / possible happiness on the altar of family's interest? Rather than even with some reconciliation and good intention trying to accept each other? So K-dramas but never thought that reality is so near to that. Or I am a joke to talk about true feelings at all in this kind of international / interracial relationship because it is does not matter on the big picture and a partner from another race, country would be rather a kind of pet for a short time than the beloved one?<br />And forgive my honesty but to use japanese' doings - no matter how sorry I am about it - as explanation is a bit forced arguing to me. History is full with nations colonised by another nations, even my origin(al country) was quite the same like Korea, a small country in the middle of Europe, was always influenced and overtaken by other nations, starting from Ghengis Kan, later turks, later austrians and I do not think they were any way more gentle to our women and children than japanese to yours. <br />(One of the reason I like your historical dramas, corruption and weakness, suffering of people are so familiar, too.) <br />But I am happy to find this blog as it seems I start to understand a couple of things. On one hand I appreciate koreans (as I could see in dramas) being not so liberal (yet) as liberalism a two sided knife but on the other hand I can see the lack of good part of it eg. in your explanation, point of view.Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935194024448226122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-38391328593738567172014-06-10T18:17:37.990-04:002014-06-10T18:17:37.990-04:00An old comment but it was like a slap on the face ...An old comment but it was like a slap on the face so I wish to answer...<br />Yes, I belong to that group (if individuals have to be pressed into a group...) who likes korean people (another 'group') and I am a woman so obviously I am interested rather in men if we are talking about a closer relationship - sorry being not liberal enough... But now, after reading your post I feel a bit mad, humiliated, stupid and so on... For me it started with korean dramas and not because I found men so handsome. In fact at first was quite the opposite (guess because I belong to another race, their faces was a bit different). As far as I remember it was your actor Lee Seo-Jin I saw first (and found him rather ugly for 10 minutes or so) but went beautiful as story and his caracter developed together the rest of talented stuff. And I just stucked into korean dramas because even if those stories were silly sometimes or overly emotional or unrealisticly naive but had a good sense of morals and were pretty free of ruining society with messages of harsh perversity or political brainwashing like eg US dramas use to influence society. After watching a korean drama I felt refreshed and almost happy (while after watching an US one I felt depressed and dirty). And after suprisingly short time I started to find people beautiful / attractive enough and familiar, and their environment, past and food were interesting, too. Not everything of course, on the other hand I do not like slap parties of women, jokes about toilet and too strong influence of some family leaders or even do not see the importance of designer bags. :-) But I am a huge fan of kimchi and now can't live without it, even learnt how to make it for myself together some other korean food and hate soju coused head-ace so shall stay away in future. I think everyone of us has own preferences that what or rather who is attractive to us and who is not. On my part the explanation was easy - why I found attractive a different culture and race and why I felt their whole world so familiar in my 'bones'? Even in this liberal world it would be a big lie if we deny that lot of us were influenced by family, nation and stayed away from other nationts /races. (At least I came from a country where other colours and nations were a tiny minority and not really accepted by rest of society.) But somehow that part of Asia is just so familiar to me in a strange way. I am a true european by appereance but my ancestors came from that part (or almost) of the world and 1000+ years (Mongolia) and had mongolian appereance even our genes a good match to them as I recently read.<br />Due to this (?) now I am interested in, probably / theoretically would be happy to have a korean friend, but your comment... I just hope it does not reflect the point of majority... I would like to say with true heart that thank you for your honesty even if it ruined illusions / friendly preconceptions but is this the truth? Opinion of majority of your people? I should give up and turn my head to a direction where I won't feel so pathetic and humiliated giving friendly intentions to people who may despise me and consider me inferior? Really?

Preferably, she should be attractive. For example: Cute features - small nose, sharp jaw, big eyes - tall but skinny, knows how to wear fashionably (Asian fashion, not American fashion), and can stroke his male ego. <br /><br />An attractive woman would also be one that can cook and make bento (lunch boxes) for him, home cooked dinner every night, and respects him as the alpha male of the house. Respect for him as a male that is. You are not equal to him, but should always respect him as a man. If you challenge him or dominate him, then you will be unattractive.<br /><br />Think I mentioned this before, but the attractive woman is the one that has a great body. Definitely not fat, curvy, and a beautiful face. She should wear make up and keep her skin in supple condition. Wearing cutesy, sexy clothes like skirts with heels, curled hair, cute dresses, etc. is required. <br /><br />Are you older than 30? Your attractiveness meter is going to be low, especially if you have fine lines and wrinkles. Are you divorced? Then you are not going to be attractive. Do you do drugs (cocaine, heroin, etc.) or have any sort of crime in your past? Then don't even try.<br /><br />If you can do all of these, I can guarantee you that you will be attractive to a Korean man.<br /><br />source: I'm Korean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-67593501197252794422014-05-29T05:00:00.869-04:002014-05-29T05:00:00.869-04:00Yes!

He told me in Korean that he thought black ladies were so sexy. Their bodies were so curvy and he loved that! I would have to say that most Korean guys like Korean girls and not too much outside their race, but there definitely is people outside the norm! You never know until you try. Anyway, he wanted me to introduce me to some black ladies so we hit a popular club in L.A. and he was mesmerized the whole time looking at the fine black ladies dance with a drink in their hand. He thought about asking one of them out but he was too shy (his English wasn't that great) but he had a big grin on his face looking at them all night. I tried asking the girl for him, but he was blushing feverishly and insisted that I don't do that! lol. Anyway, the whole time he was there in L.A. for a year, he would check out the black ladies. He was pretty tall and good looking too. You never know!
