It seems to me that western men date/marry Korean women at significantly higher rates than western women date Korean men. Why is that? I've been reading a lot of threads lately about the high numbers of non-Korean women dating Korean men, but I haven't seen it.
Maybe I've not been in the right places at the right times? I have dozens of friends who have married or are dating Korean women, but I only know of one western girl who ever dated a Korean man. Why is that? |

^ well a lot of times gf's or wives tend to hang out with their husband's friends or social network. wives of husband's friends. or women who are in similiar situations with them.
at least thats been my experience.
thats probably the same reason why i know 4 korean guys married to white girls, and zero korean girls married to white guys.
i am sure there is more the other way around like you said though. but its just a different crowd.
i think there are about 200-300 marriages between korean women and white men a year in korea. i would imagine something like 100 for korean men and western women... not counting russian and uzbek.
the department of women also deny's marriage visas to russian and eastern european women. or else the "white women" numbers would be drastically different. |

I couldn't be bothered reading JAD's post because I've given up on that poster, so perhaps she answered your question in the exact same way I will, but, straightforwardly, white guy with Asian girl is a good combination. They find each other attractive. Another good combo is white woman with black guy.
Poor combinations in my opinion would be white woman with Asian guy and white guy with black girl.
When I say good/poor, I refer of course to prevalence and predisposition as I see it and not desirability. Hopefully there won't be any personal insults against me ('I'd sooner date an Asian guy than a vile pig like you, SPIN, any day' for instance) as a result of my honest opinion.

Complete and utter bollox Spinoza. 
You're British are ya? You know as well as I do there are loads of white male/black female relationships where were from.

What massive, sweeping generalization have you based this on? can you base it on? Complete and utter nonsense!
Furthrmore, 'black' covers a great range of cultures and physical types. A Kenyan is as different from a Nigerian who is as different from Fijian who is as different to a Jamacian.
My first GF was black girl of Ghanaian descent, she had a banging, banging body!  |

We're talking about Korea right? So, hmmm, could it have something to do with the fact that there are probably more foriegn guys than girls here? Also that most foriegners perceive the culture here as being a little too conservative, so the women may be more cautious about dating the Korean guys?
The last is a guess, but from the women I know who dated happily or married their guy, it seems like the Korean guy was definitely not of the norm, ie. he had traveled to/ lived in another country, or was more liberal than the regular guy here. |

SPIN, not really sure what you're on about. The post wasn't offensive, so much as just odd.
What do prevalence and predisposition have to do with the OP?
I know a lot more white guys dating Korean women than white girls dating Korean men. I think I (personally) know more white women married to Korean men, than the opposite now that I think of it. Probably says more about my circle of friends than anything about the interracial dating scene though |

| Are we talking total or per capita here? There are loads less Western women here. End of story. |
