Beckerson,


You forgot to mention that piece of crap like coffeecup get lied to all the time because they deserve it-kind of like Lucy pulling the football away

In Cambodia if you're white and alone girls will be all over you and you'll score on the first night and afterwards you get to tell the girl if it was a one-nighter or if you want her as a girlfriend either way she must buy you food and six beers afterwards I swear it's true everyone knows this it's common knowledge good luck Coffeecup use protection and don't forget your weapons just in case because you never know.

I'm not a huge fan of Mr. CoffeeCup, and remember particularly the inanely macho thread about attacks and weapons he was going to bring, before he'd even set foot in the country.

But here I find it difficult to blame him. For one his post seems a little drunken, not the script of an entirely rational mind. I wonder if he wrote it after returning from Stompers and thus a little drunk.

And his post is very human, and charming in that respect. He's new in town, wants to have exciting new sexual experiences, has no particular network of people yet through which to meet women, and he has been fooled by a few who, as he said, rather project their fantasies onto this board. Whenever there is a thread on the topic of 'Korean tail' they are always extraordinarily popular with the same old names (I don't discount myself from that, but I'm giving up these threads).

CoffeeCup, I speak as someone who has (outside of beach resorts in August!) seldom picked up chicks in bars and clubs but have nonetheless never been frustrated with the amount of women I meet and sleep with. Partuclarly here in Seoul. Once you settle in and find some new friends, you'll meet women through your people network. Chill. And you have made an astute discovery; not to believe all that you read

Buttercup,

The secret is to make yourself as unique as possible.

Hongdae - plenty of whiteys (some of whom even speak Korean) and many Koreans who speak English. Same goes for Itaewon.

When I came back to Korea a few years ago, the first party friends I made here were the neighborhood chicken hof owner's son, supermarket cashier gal, and patrolman. Granted, I'm able to speak Korean but that was not a huge factor. My point is that you might really enjoy the company of the average Joe/Joan more than mass gatherings of a single generation in a specific area, at least initially.

Just speak the universal language of booze, be the cool and mysterious foreigner, and you can pretty much have fun anywhere in the ROK

Yah most of what butterfly said were surprisingly accurate. "For one his post seems a little drunken, not the script of an entirely rational mind." Yah I admit I wrote it at a time when I was in a certain state of mind, I was going to say to Kylehawkins and a few others that seem to have taken some kind of offense to what I wrote my bad, that's actually not what I exactly intended.
"He's new in town," yah definately the new man in town alright...

Hey, Coffeecup, ya know, that " 'look its a foreigner' look of confusion" just isn't going to go away.

[Coffeecup]

"Hey, Coffeecup, ya know," yah Helly ok.... But that doesn't necessarily mean I am not right for this place. I've done a number of years with the Jpns and been around the Chinese quite awhile as well. It's just I need to be able to see or experience other things besides avoidance and confusion, that's what I am saying.

Coffeecup, are you seriously wondering if you are right for this place or not?!?! Anyone and everyone can be right for this place (whether Korea is right for you is another question. And please don't ask me to describe the difference.) Just got to find your groove. And most likely, your groove isn't going to be the same as it is anyway else (China, Japan, "home" wherever that may be.)

Lots of folks here talking about Coffeecups missteps and misadventure, berating him for his attitude and artillery. Let's do this man a favor and list out some of the many ways we HAVE met members of the opposite sex (guys and girls welcome to chime in), rather than simply how we haven't (by walking around toting our weapons, both meanings)

First one for me was affiliated with a school I worked for. She did not work there but was around quite a bit, working on teaching props, curriculum, etc. She wanted to do a language exchange. We did for awhile, dated a few times, didn't work out, kept up the language exchange for not for very long.

Another was with a group of "real" Koreans I somehow met (through other teachers at my school, but none of them were teachers). One was in some business that could never be fully explained (she later worked for a talent/ad agency), one was a singer, one was a gangster that held a day job in a trading company, one was a waitress, one was a model that hadn't worked as a model for awhile. Model was interested and I thought she was hot. Danced around for a while but not much came out of it.

Random Itaewon girls/stalkers but I don't like to talk about that much.

Met some girls while drinking in Shinchon. Joined tables and partied all night. Hung out a few times after that night. One friend got into something kind of long term, I didn't.

Met a kyopo who worked for an investment bank at a coffeeshop. I struck up a conversation because we were reading the same book. Dated for awhile then stopped.

Once when I was walking home, a car of 2 girls drove by, rolled down the windows and started chatting. Ended up asking if they could come to my house. After they were there for about 2 hours, one left one stayed. Ended up bombarding me with phone calls and pages (before mobiles/text-messaging was a popular) for weeks. Nightmare.

A kyopo (guy) friend of mine introduced me to a girl he knew when he was at Yonsei Language School, she was a student at Ewha. When we first met, she worked in the international department of a Korean investment bank. We first hung out together with my friend, later acted as if we were on a blind date (kind of were), ended up simply dating long-term.

Now this one is my wife.

Lay back and relax a bit, Coffeecup. Good things come to those who wait, not those who are h ell-bent on satisfaction.

And while things may be so different from back home, you'll end up meeting people the same way you have everywhere else. You just do.
