The concept is okay, I guess - anything to give Koreans a little better view of how the rest of the world works - but the topics discussed are completely dull and stupid. Hence: unwatchable.

I am a gay white guy with a Korean partner (he's the man/top in the relationship), and I've seen the show so I assume I break all the stereotypes evident in your four ridiculous choices - and I HATE "Chat With Beauties" for two reasons: (1) it's cheesy, and (2) it's often filled with pro-Korean propaganda. By the way, my Korean partner agrees.

Peace


How is that possible? Homosexuality is a western disease!

honestly, don't believe in western perceptions of asian women. they are 100% false, insulting fabrications.

if you are looking for a submissive china doll, it really is retarded. its all part of the manipulation. russian women are also good at it.


Which province? Chinese women vary greatly by locale and upbringing.

I never really watch the show for very long, but I think it would be amusing to do once my Korean gets better. Every time I freaking meet a Korean male, the conversation inevitably turns to, "So...you watch Korean tv?? There is this show...foreign women...you are interested? Yes?" My older male co-workers are big offenders of this. I don't know...it could be a "unique" experience.

Because it's a bunch of squeeky annoying 'cuties' trying hard to impress people with trite small talk.

I'd rather drink vomit than watch it

i kinda understand the appeal of the show, but i hate it. a bunch of b-grade male stars inanely chatting to foreigners? i'm impressed with some of the girls' skills with the korean language, and i think the italian girl's accent is really cute.

but it's really just a show about gawking at foreigners, right? and the title of the show is hardly accurate wrt the majority of the participants. pretty boring show, imho

I reject the premise of this thread because I actually like the show.

Perhaps liking Misuda a sign of being in Korea too long?

Dont over generalise. There are plenty of nonwhite nations that are open minded and have a broad, global perspectiveand eg Japan, China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore to name but a few.

Its just Korea that is stuck all the way up its rear end in this respect.

However, it would be nice to see a group of foreign males and have them answer questions about Korean women. That would sure be interesting.

I'd say I don't like it because I don't know Korean.

Even if I did know the language, I'd watch some Korean movies over that crap (honestly I've watched some really funny Korean movies)

But yeah, hell even my ex-gf told me asian men aren't supposed to date white women. She said it makes more sense the other way ~
