Just curious, at what age do you think Korean women start to make the transition from THIS:



to THIS:



Furthermore, Why is there such discrimination by western men in Korea towards dating Korean "girls" who more closely resemble the women in the first picture? Aren't women who fall in a more mature age bracket just as entitiled to their share of white di*k?

Even trolls need to eat.

The official age of transition is 30.

In all seriousness....I suppose that if anyone had to put up with the constant korean style B.S. AND having to deal with korean males (I would not call them men).....it's safe to realize that you'd age quickly also.

In any society, if you want to know what your girl will look like when she's older - check out her mom. If her mom has held up well, chances are she will too.

hmmmmmm....???? age you moron. Lauren Bacall was a hottie in her day and now well gravity works. Nice looking woman but remember this woman probably lived through the korean war and nutrition was low on list as not getting killed was higher.

I think 30 is the turning point for K-women. It seems K-society generally ridicules their women if they aren't married before the age of 30. With mounting pressure to marry, the depression sets in and transition occurs and as a result,

And I could be totally off base and wrong about what I passed on to you in my earlier post...however, it's always seemed to be twue! I did, I did see a puddy tat!

Where I'm from- southern US- the women become ajummas as well.

Usually after marriage and few kids, most of them chop off their hair- either in the style that lesbians prefer(young, schoolboy cut) or go for the stylish mullet look.
It's freakin' awful!
They really let their hips go. The wide a$$ is so prominent.
Then, they wear the comfortable clothes that are unnatractive.

Most of them just end up looking like aged, butch lesbians. Not that there's anything wrong with being a butch lesbian. Some of the funniest people I know have been butches. It's just that they totally give up on trying to appear attractive. It's sad.
There are some exceptions with the aged beauty queens who are holding on to their looks for dear life, but my gawd, the southern American ajumma inspires no lust whatsoever!

I agree that like a lot of rednecks, the women here have to put up with a lot of jacka$$ behavior from the local males.
Once they get married, where's the incentive to keep yourself looking good?

Working at a public school, I've seen the beginnings of this change from agashi to ajumma, and can extrapolate to the later stage of advanced ajumma:

Once a Korean woman hits her mid-thirties, she will get her long, straight hair lightly permed. This hair will be the talk of the workplace (in my experience, teacher's room) for the day, and everyone will compliment the new hair.

The next time she has a hair appointment, she will get her hair cut a little shorter and the curls will be a little tighter. There will be fewer compliments in the workplace/ among her circle of friends, but there will still be a few.

This is all I have witnessed firsthand, but to extrapolate from here:

Each time she gets her hair cut, she will get it a little shorter and the curls a little tighter, until she has advanced ajumma hair. This process, I believe, takes a few decades.

You may object that this doesn't cover the full transition from agasshi to ajumma, but it does; the essence of ajumma-ness, and the source of all her powers, comes from her hair. To discuss the hair is to say all that needs to be said.

My wife told me at some point in her life she will have to cut her hair off and get an ajomma perm. I told her if she does we're getting divorced.

When we were in China there were plenty of old people there with long hair.
