Do you think Korean males and females are much harsher on females regarding having a little extra weight as compared to people in the West? I keep on hearing adults telling me how they want thin girls and talk about how so and so is fat. I have seen also plenty of adults who think they are fat and look it at all. Anyway, with all this talk about overweight women I see so many Korean guys with chubby Korean women, not just a few. Are Korean men more accepting of Western women being overweight? I don't know really. I saw a Korean guy with a thick Western woman (I thought she looked good), and a Western female friend tells me she has heard that they think it is okay for a woman to have extra weight to some extent if she is Western, but they don't like it on their Korean women. What's the story? I think they are way too hung up on weight.
I see so many women who look so emaciated. I am not sure I could feel stimulated as a male by that look.

Most Korean guys from what I have heard, etc., prefer small gals. That's fine by me because I am small. But, my two big western coworkers are actually dating a Korean guy right now. I have also seen some k-guys with fat k-girls. They can be pretty harsh here concerning weight. Coworkers will tease each other about losing weight, or a boss will hint to a big western girl that she shouldn't be eating much chocolate, etc. I know one k-guy whose coworkers have been teasing him, saying his face is getting bigger. One of them even came over to me and commented about the guy's face getting bigger. Poor guy. I think he looks fine. He told me he's 70kgs and wants to lose weight. I told him not to. My ex was 75kg and he always told me he thought he was fat and was dieting.

Wow! Another chance to make fun of fat white girls! Thanks Adventurer.

They can bone the skeletons--pun intended--give me the girls with signs of life: flesh and color.

Korens and Asians in general are built smaller though. The more you see, the more you realise they aren't underweight at all. It's just their build. The problem is, they look perfectly fine, but they still say "I'm fat!!"

Since I go to a Korean gym I notice how much women weigh (they're always stepping on and off the scale, probably burning more calories that way than some do exercising/whatever you want to call those wiggly band things that some do for hours). Most are in the 50 kilogram range, and most look good that way (in my objective opinion), but there are constant sighs after looking at the results of the weigh-in. The other day a woman stepped on the scale and she weighed 39 kilos. Geez. I felt really ridiculous stepping on the scale after her and weighing in at 60.
