As the other posters pointed out, the key is attractiveness. If the woman is not too much older, I would be willing to date her.

In Korea, I do have to say that a lot of the women, when they get older, still keep their physical attractiveness. And so when the Korean women get past their 20s, its hard to really tell what their actual age is just by looking. In general, Korean women don't look old until they really get there.

When I was 22, I dated a thai woman a few times who was 43, she looked VERY good for her age.
And these days when I am on campus wearing my cargo pants, t-shirt and baseball cap, I can mix right in with the junior/ senior undergrads......and I'm 31.......no one knows that until I tell them and that is when I get that surprised look

Personally, I prefer the maturity and passion a mature woman posseses more than the vitality and youth of a young girl because age is nothing but a number really and the young girl will be in the same shoes as the older woman in time anyway.......
Also as another poster mentioned, young girls tend to be very changable in their thinking and really have very little clue as to what to do with themselves while the mature woman has a goal and works toward achieving it.......
Is that to say all older women are calm, mature and level-headed.....by all means no, but the general judgement is that older women tend to bring more calm to the relationship.......at least IMO

From what I've heard, Korean men dating older girls seems to be a rising trend. A few years ago, I worked with a 26 year old K-guy and his girlfriend was 31. I knew one k-girl who was 32 and her guy was 26. Last year, I worked with a k-girl who was 28 and she picked up a 23 year old dude in a club. And yet another coworker who was 28 and had a 22 year old guy after her. I usually date younger guys myself. I've only had one boyfriend the same age, and a couple who were older. The rest have been younger. What's the big deal? My friend's Mom's husband is 7 years younger than her. My grandma was 1 year older than my grandpa. My cousin married a giel who was like in her 40s when he was still in his late 20s. My aunt and uncle said he had a girl his age calling him at their house and he wouldn't speak with her. That older girlfriend of his had 2 kids from a previous marriage. Kids involved would be a deal breaker for me, not age. I could never be involved with a guy who had kids. There will always be some woman coming around to visit her kids.

in general I prefer older guys. But my general rule of thumb is no one older than my dad and no one younger than my baby brother (he's ten years younger than me)

I've always dated older women, and my wife is 5 years older than me. I'm a rarity.

Most western guys come over here, pick up the Korean chickie and she's generally younger. To each their own.

I don't believe that Korean women age nearly as gracefully as western women--they keep their bodies in better shape, but their faces give them away every single time.

Just last night I had a discussion with a friend about this same topic. He referred me to this website:

Worldwide Ages of Consent:
http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm

Apparently in his small town, teenagers are expected to abide by the age of consent - two minors can't do the deed. Whereas here in the States, it's expected that teens are shagging each other and it's only an issue when one is a minor and the other is an adult.
