I'm just pulling this figure out of my ass, but amongst rookies it seems to be 60/40 male/female. Amongst mid-termers it's more like 70/30 and amongst long-termers 80/20.

I knew 2 foreign females and around 30 dudes. It might me the kid factor that prevents many females from coming who would otherwise come to Korea to teach as teaching is traditionally a female occupation; even in Korea as all my Korean co-teachers were young beautiful women in their 20's. No, I didn't try anything funny. LOL

In my city there are three females (one is a long timer of 17 years) and I think 8 guys.

I can't help but wonder why you would ask, overchin? Is this another incarnation of the "what will my dating opportunities be in Korea" thread?

I came over in a group that was 50/50. Haven't met a large enough number outside that to get a statistically significant sample.

I certainly don't think there's any problem with asking about male/female ratios(nor do I think the OP is an undateable slug), but I'm pretty sure there is a sticky about this... or should be. Anyway, it seems to be cleared up now. I never associate with foreigners, so I have no idea how many of us are male or female.

Definitely way more guys over here. 70/30, 80/20, something like that. Among the FTs in my school, there are 6 males and 1 female.
