It seems it is the norm for most of the foreign men teachers to get Korean gfs in Korea. Do most foreign women teachers have Korean bfs?

I came here with my husband so I never had to worry about the dating scene, but I have several single girl friends who date here. Most don't date Korean guys, they're just not interested. I know one girl who dated a Korean for several years and another who married a Korean. Both had similar experiences where the man was one (good) person in public and another (bad) at home (the married woman didn't get this change until after they got married.) I've actually asked my Korean girlfriends about this and they say that it's a common situation in Korea.

some do, i don't. i've had friends that have dated korean guys and it always turned out bad, as in they were cheating on them or just trying to get in their pants. in my opinion, even though there's far less foreign men in korea, it seems easier to find a nice foreign guy than korean one.

Got a friend who'd married a K guy, she's happy with him. He was after three duds, though.

I wouldn't date a K guy, indeed I rarely date at all.

I know a couple of western women married to Korean men.

You'd be surprised who's marrying who.

I'm marrying a K guy.

Most girls I know don't want to date K men though.

I went on a few dates, and had pretty much decided K guys weren't my style... but... found a diamond in the rough, who acts very un korean

Guys trying to get into the pants of women they are dating? The world has truly gone to pot.

When I see a western woman with a korean guy, I think "TRAITOR!!!".

When I see a western man with a korean woman, I think "Nice, rock on!".

Rolling Eyes what i mean is my friends will go out with a korean guy 1 or 2 times, and when the guy realizes he doesn't get immediate sex, he's done with them. many korean guys believe foreign girls are easy, so when they don't get any action immediately, they dump them.

Are you sure the Korean guys dumped your friends because they didn't get immediate sex? Maybe these guys just didn't like your friends' personalities.

A lot of women assume, "He stopped seeing me after a couple of dates. It's because I didn't put out." I had this annoying coworker who would always say that. And I thought, "Couple of dates? I'm surprised the guy stuck around after the initial handshake."

But if these K-guys were getting too touchy/aggressive/moving too fast with your friends, then, yes, you're right about them wanting sex right away.

I've gotten the same deal with Western guys here in Korea and back home. They're called players and they come in all ethnicities and races. As for Korean guys thinking foreign women are easy, yeah, there are many who do, mostly those who get their ideas from Hollywood or Sex and the City. I just show them otherwise. I can play the demure part just as well as Korean women.

As for dating, I've dated Western and Korean guys since I've gotten here. Not many Western guys to choose from and even less who are attractive to me but I at least like the fact that I'm not treated like a novelty by them and just as an individual. Few Korean guys I've met haven't said something to me that made me think they already have a preconceived stereotype of me just because I'm American and many have asked me if I'm Russian so it can be rather disappointing when it's the same scenario over and over again. Most have been pretty physically direct but so have most non-Koreans I've dated so I guess no difference there. Strange thing is I have met more Western gentlemen here than back home so it's kinda refreshing.

My thing now is only date Korean guys who have lived or studied abroad and who have a modern mentality. I met one recently and he's pretty cool and doesn't make me feel like I'm the first non-Korean woman he's ever gone out with...not to mention not shy and kinda rough and masculine. But I admit those types are rare. Having a Korean bf in Korea can help a foreign woman a lot if she can't speak Korean. It's tough getting by here with only English so I really prefer a Korean bf now.

So you really think the guy wouldn't have continued to put up with her if he was getting some? haha.
