Hey girls, I want to know about the Korean Boyfriend. He seems to be pretty elusive as opposed to the Korean Girlfriend.

What's it like to go out with a Korean guy?

I'm writing a humor piece and need some interview subjects! Any anecdotes, comments, musings on why there are so few Western women strolling hand in hand with a Korean guy would be great.

PM me if you want to be interviewed (all anonymous: i don't care who you are and aren't about to expose your hot fling with your co-worker or anything)

Cheers!

All Korean guys look the same. It's weird.

If you want the dirt on Korean boys, just leave them outside.

They will have a fine coating of yellow dust by morning Smile

Korean men who travel often develop a taste for other women. When I was a teacher in the UK I was very friendly with my students. One Korean guy liked blondes (one Swiss, one Polish) but has since married a Korean, two liked Latin American women, one dated a Japanese girl because he preferred Asian beauty, another confessed he had a crush on a Turkish girl, another liked his English teacher at a different school and another one liked me!

Therefore I think we can't really generalise. One thing I noticed was they lacked confidence in approaching women (apart from the one who liked me who was a right pain in the butt) and took dating more seriously than Western men.

Most of the Korean guys I know, and I know quite a few, are not attracted to western girls. They consider them fat, not stylish, and too strong-willed. Strong-willed women are frowned upon in general in Korea. And the whole concept of Ei-gyo, which is the girlie way that Korean girls act, is very important to them. Not too many white girls don the girly-cutesy-eye batting-whining-pouting-obba! persona.

Of course there are exceptions, but if you poll the audience you will find that maybe 80% of Korean guys simply don't like white girls. And that goes for Korean-American guys too. Go ahead and make a scientific survey and see what you find.
Many Korean guys like me though, because I dress well and princessy, I am thin and I do the whole oppaaaaaaaaaa aegyo thing. hehehehehe^^ And you are right. Korean guys like girls who are girlie. Most western women are too tomboyish and some had rather die or eat nails, rather than wear a dress. Rolling Eyes They should have been born a man then. I am from the south, where some of us are still girlie. Even my Dad wondered why so many white women are against wearing dresses. Many of them won't even wear a dress to church. My Dad wondered if it would kill some women to wear a dress just once a week on Sunday. I agree.

I'm not particularly girlie and I am certianly not skinny. I've got an hourglass shape, a big rear end and a few extra pounds. Somehow I ended up with a Korean guy. He's a normal short, skinny Korean guy. I'm sure people can't understand what he's sees in me. Laughing He says he loves my shape and in the past I have shed a few pounds and he's been convinced I'm sick and need to go to hospital. Wink

I have just remembered a Korean male colleague of mine. He went to Itaewon all the time looking for western women, he ended up with one and she was not skinny (he said he liked chubby) and seemed happy with her. Think he was also hoping for a passport out of Korea though....

Hope he is not your guy Dazed and Confused because he was definitely barmy.
