Not sure if you're addressing me or not. But if you feel that it is an over generalization to say that men are obsessed with sex, then welcome to planet Earth and I hope you enjoy your stay.


No, it was for the OP, i.e., why do Westerners ALWAYS get blamed? How could EVERYONE could be so unthinking as to tar us all with the same brush?


Ok then I apologise.

Unfortunately a lot of Korean women do carry pyschological baggage about foreigners, but what can you do? Luckily there ones that don't and it's probably easier to start from scratch with one without the issues, than try to 'convert' one who is convinced western = satan.

It's like why waste time with a girl who isn't in to you when there are so many more out there. similar logic I mean.

If you ever discuss this topic with Koreans, you can always defend yourself with the argument that Koreans are not the most trustworthy people.

cheating on school tests

running red traffic lights

arbitrarily making changes to contracts

bribing cops & teachers

loads of companies cooking the books

girls dumping their boyfriends after White Day

Adultry

selling pirate dvds and knock-off clothes in public

smoking in the "no smoking" areas of PC bangs

telling every foreign guy he's handsome

and Koreans are telling US we are hard to trust. Very Happy

Westerners are often blamed because it's easier to point the finger at other people than pointing it at yourself.
