Interesting stats. White males are about three times more likely to marry an Asian versus an Asian male marrying a white female.

For all those complaining about Koreans staring at them for interracial dating:
I know. It gets old. Not everybody is used to seeing an interracial couple. People will stare at you. They may even display a frown or a furrowed brow.
How do you cope?
Ignore the natural response of attempting to read their minds. Who knows what they're thinking when they stare: Maybe they admire you two as a couple, or they like your threads, or they just haven't seen your "kind" before, or they're waiting for you two to show some affection so they can label you as a couple rather than friends. It's pointless to keep wondering.
Instead, imagine you're a celebrity. In fact, you are. You might well be the spectacle of the day for them. Thrive and celebrate your uniqueness. These public encounters add flavor to the otherwise bland experiences of their lives. You're simply desensitizing them to the notion of colorblind dating. Sooner or later, they won't look twice ... because they've seen it before. |

| Madoka - Your logic is solid. This thinking may be well suited for the U.S. and other western countries, but in K-land......... |

| Intergender dating is popular, though some might prefer intragender relations. |

Madoka, I truly love you.
I'll be in L.A. next December. Can we meet for a beer? I know you're rich and all, but it's still my treat! |

Most people do. 
I suppose by next December you would have had two kids, divorced, possibly remarried, and retired. When you come over, we can talk about how to spend your retirement.
When I retire, I hope to go back to Korea, get a traditional grandfather getup complete with black horsehair hat. Then I'd go around Korea whacking young punks with my cane. Didn't give your subway seat to me - WHACK! Spit on the ground - WHACK! Didn't use both your hands while pouring my drink - WHACK! Talk too loudly on your cell phone - WHACK!
I saw an old grandpa do this back in the late 80s/early 90s. It was such an awesome sight to behold. The power that old man welded. The impunity he had in whacking people. All his victims would do is mumble an apology, bow and sheepishly walk away. After witnessing it, my life was forever changed and I realized this is how I'd like to live out my final days. I can't wait to see the look on Koreans faces when an old waegook speaking bad Korean tries it. |

| I do feel sorry for the Asian guys but partly it's their own preferences that stop them hooking up with white girls. Also there is a similar imbalance with far more black men with white wives than vice versa (about 2.5 to 1) so us white guys don't have it all our own way. |
