| So I went to Mr. Pizza (Made for women) for the first time today with my K-girlfriend, and noticed that all customers save for 2 other guys with girls were all chicks....my girlfriend mentionned that K-guys don't go to Western restaurants without girls, as this would be strange...she said they would rather spend time getting drunk together....said same about going to movies, guys don't usually do that together....I was wondering, anyone have more info on this, why exactly is Western food seen as this date-only thing for men? I surely had no problem going to Asian restaurants back home with the mates.... |
I am going to take a stab at that from my understanding of foreign cultures (I am not sure it would help with Korea) and that foreign restaurants are special places (I don't mean McDonald's). So, foreign places where food is shared means you should be with a female.
It is for special occasions, but Korean food is not, generally. That's my guess. I am trying to make sense of it. How did I do? |

| Crusher is responding to random 3 year old threads? This isn't the first. Anyway, I think this one is a classic. One of the better observations I've read that probably would have escaped my notice. |

Three years since the op. About a month ago I was at a new pakistani restaurant in Ewha when I saw two ajjossi's come in together and eat. it was fun to watch 'cause one guy had no clue so his friend was explaining everything.
Things have definitely changed. |
