I love all hot women.
I rarely see hot white chicks here, but I'm sure they have no problems getting guys. |
I saw one this morning for the first time in a long time. And she smiled at me! Ooohh!!
I got all goose-pimply (a little true - she was hot). I almost ran down the street after her to lay down some caniff smooth-talking, but then I remembered I was happily married. |

I have two theories. Sometimes I think in Korea white women represent something western guys left behind. We are sort of the generic ex-girlfriend. A lot of these guys despise everything about their ex, some of them are ok with the ex and even friendly, but with no interest. A minority want to hook back up with her. But, for better or for worse, we have history.
Other times, I think we are more like annoying sister figures to them. They are in the middle of guiltily experiencing some of the benefits of a pronounced patriarchal society; not really their fault, they didn�t build it. Sort of like when the annoying kid sister walks into the bathroom when the brother is in the middle of some personal time�.
I personally am enjoying the Korean guys, and while I would never reject a westerner out of hand I am honestly not looking in that direction these days. As a guest in this country it�s only polite to shop locally, and I totally support any western guy�s preference in that direction. Don�t spread the hate, gentlemen, you don�t need that on your karma.
Oh, jkelly, thanks for the seal of approval on white western booty, my behind was starting to feel a little unloved. |

Is it like that in other countries too? I've never taught anywhere but here...I sorta figured it might be different elsewhere. |
all the places I've been to, it heavily skews that way.
generalizing, the women tend to prefer the more open minded Western male (vis a vis gender roled, etc) and I guess they're just more comfortable with a Western parnter (I'm guessing here, I'm not a woman).
Also, in developing countries there is a much bigger polarization of societies in terms of wealth/jobs, etc. The males on the top of the ladder in those countries have their pick of the litter and a liberated Western plain Jane will probably have a hard time competing.
the expat males, also are top of the ladder, because in most cases in local terms they have great jobs, make good money. Those guys will invariably flock to the multutiude of available local, more exotic, younger talent that becomes easily available.
simple choices really, given one provides the supply/demand factors beforehand.
I've heard lots of stories of "bitter" Western single female expats, especially professional women that are a little older. |
I would have to say that is one of the most enduring urban myths floating around Korea. I make just as much or even more money then a lot of my male coworkers. I am a hot commodity on the employment scene because of my gender and expereince.
I have also had no problems meeting expat men. I have curves and don't treat men like walking ATMs. I find being totally diffirent from the locals has helped me a lot in terms of dating. (Not to say all Asian women do that but in many Asian cultures it's not unacceptable to marry for economic reasons.) I have plenty of dating choices and have done better on the dating scene then a lot of white guys. |
So you've got a hot body and you know how to manipulate men in a posite manner....
That hardly translates over to the frumpy white gal walking around Seoul with 60 lbs of extra baggage. |

Ahh,
There's nothing more visually and mentally pleasing than hundreds of thousands of Korean stray dogs with VAST untapped reservoirs of sexual frustration bubbling, ready to unload anytime.
Oh, they are soooooooo charming. |

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Bogey about something. But I am.
They've done studies that show that MEN are more willing to date outside of their race than women are. (It should be noted that these studies were done in the west.)

There�s also a clear gender divide, as the researchers note: �Women of all races exhibit strong same race preferences, while men of no race exhibit a statistically significant same race preference.� You might think the gender gap is the result of different dating goals: perhaps the men are more interested in short-term flings, whereas the women are looking for a lasting relationship and are concerned about potential complications from cultural differences. But the researchers conclude otherwise after looking at the data: |
And

The researchers found that most women speed daters said yes (meaning they�d like to see a man again after the four-minute speed date) less often to men of another race than they did to men of their own race. Here�s how much less interested they were in the other races, as compared with their enthusiasm for men of their own race:
African-American women said yes about 30 percent less often to Hispanic men; about 45 percent less often to white men; about 65 percent less often to Asian men.
White women said yes about 30 percent less often to black or Hispanic men, and about 65 percent less often to Asian men.
Hispanic women said yes about 20 percent less often to black or white men, and 50 percent less often to Asian men.
Asian women didn�t discriminate much by race (except for showing a very slight preference for Asian men over black or Hispanic men). |
As much as some of the expat men here like to think they're such hot studs and that the white women are ugly fat cows...it's not that white women don't date a lot here because they can't get the men here. It's that most white women are pickier than white men. Most white women don't want Asian men.
(Not me. I'm engaged to a hot Korean guy.)

The researchers, after controlling for all other attributes (height, weight, attractiveness, etc.), calculated how much extra income (relative to the income of the average online male dater, $62,500) a man would need to overcome the racial barrier. Here are some of the estimates (there weren�t enough data to do all the interracial permutations) of how much each extra income a man would need to be equally appealing to a woman as would a man of her own race:
For equal success with an African-American woman, a Hispanic man needs to earn an extra $184,000; a white man needs to earn an additional $220,000.
For equal success with a white woman, an African-American needs to earn an additional $154,000; a Hispanic man needs $77,000; an Asian needs $247,000.
For equal success with a Hispanic woman, an African-American man needs to earn an additional $30,000; a white man needs to earn an additional $59,000.
For equal success with an Asian woman, an African-American needs no additional income; a white man needs $24,000 less than average; a Hispanic man needs $28,000 more than average. |
Basically, to Asian women, white men are cheap.  |

Ladies!
Do your part in this humanitarian sexual crisis...and start dating more Korean men! There are lots to choose from, but you have to be proactive and approach them first!
They will NOT approach you first because they are usually intimidated by the English factor.
I lot of the Korean guys I've talked to about this are very curious about dating a foreign woman, but the opportunity never presented itself. So come on expat ladies, what are you waiting for? Get to work! |
I went to work last night and approached a couple of Korean guys at the club! I saw one doing the solo cha cha as the music played and I love dancing cha cha so I asked him if he'd like to cha cha with me. Before I knew it, no joke, all his friends wanted to dance with me too! Now, I know how to work Korean guys and I knew if they see me dancing with one, all of them will be less hesitant to ask me to dance. So by the end of the night, I had danced with about 6 Korean guys. I had a great time with them but sadly, none of them asked me for my number. The first guy I approached was really cute too. The only guy who wasn't intimidated to make conversation with me was some ajoshi guy who was friends with one of the cute guys. He wanted to rub my feet because they were hurting from all the dancing. I guess I will have to be more aggressive next week. I know they love it! |
