I will throw this one out to all the fellas. What are your opinions of women from Japan and Korea. This may be an extremely shallow question but which country produces the cooler and more attractive lady. These things can help make a decision easier for a brother. Any insight is welcome. Cheers.

Japanese women are more stylish. Korean women all look the same but good. This has been beaten to death on the Korea board,

Japanese girls have worse haircuts.

Korean women grow mould under their fingernails. Japanese women grow mould under their toenails. You decide which is skankier.

Seriously man, the most beautiful and attractive woman is the one whom you love (or fancy something rotten at least anyway). There is none other. It is all in the eye of the beholder. And you are that beholder, not me, not no one but you.

Very classy response, Lajzar. How's the thumb?

This one is for the ladies, which is better the Candian man or American? Which one is more handsome, sweeter, and more intelligent? Personal compatibility doesn't matter for me, I just want to know by country, which man is for me.

Korean women- the ones that I knew who were not married when I lived in Korea were awfully immature. They would still look to their mothers for instruction on every little thing, and were basically treated like little girls until they got married. Women generally got married at age 26. (95% of the women that I knew who got married while I lived there had arranged marriages. I knew one who married a foreign teacher, and this was pretty radical.) Most of the women that I knew who had been married a short time seemed a little depressed and unsettled by the shift in role from pampered daughter to pampering wife. Most of them were pregnant within the first 6 months of having been married. The women I knew who had been married for some time were quite autonomous from their husbands, and many spoke derisively about their spouses.

Japanese women- I know plenty of women in Japan who are single, by choice or not, into their 50s. I find the very young women in Japan (early to mid 20s) to be rather immature, but a bit more independant than their Korean counterparts. Young women in Japan are not forced into marriage, but I think that many of them put pressure on themselves to find a mate. I have heard many women under 30 lament that they want to find a boyfriend. When I ask them about various single men that we know they give me a list of problems with that person (too short, not handsome, doesn't have a fun personality, not their type, not wealthy enough, etc). I think that a lot of the young Japanese women that I know are total romantics and are waiting for Mr. Perfect to walk into their lives and sweep them off their feet. Many of the women that I know who have been married some time are also very autonomous from their husbands. They often seem a bit lonely. They never speak ill of their husbands, and truly seem to miss them when they have to work long hours.


perhaps this is not the comparison you were hoping for?

actually,
I'd say that is a great comparison, Celeste.

you forgot to mention body parts though... `
