With some luck you just might come across a pretty korean girl who has the hots for really dumb people.

I think the chances of the average guy getting a girl that attractive are not bad, actually. I see at least a dozen girls who look like that on a daily basis, and several dozens if I go somewhere trendy like Hongdae or Gangnam.

If you get yourself out there alot you're bound to attract at least one. In order to do that though, you can't be afraid of rejection and be patient; Babe Ruth struck out a lot and so will you.

Sounds like a few guys I know. They'll just hit on anything that moves until one of them possibly feigns some sort of interest. A real love connection there.

isn't it hard to hit on a girl that does not speak English?

I understand it if a language exchange turns into love but....

That's not what I meant, but yeah, I know guys like that too. I think it's better to wait for a sign of interest (eye contact or something) but don't take too much stock in what I'm saying here.

btw i live in Jeonju city for a month and have never come across any girl that was remotely as attractive as the 2 girls the OP posted.

I've been in Japan it was hit or miss. 50% of the girls you saw on the street were attractive. In Korea my experience is that there is a whole lot of miss. Something like in the area of 85% are just bust. That's not me being incredibly shallow they really look inbred and ugh...Actually 85% is way too generous.

Just keep in mind that Korean girls who look like that usually have AWFUL personalities. As someone else mentioned--they have the "princess syndrome," or gongjubyeong. If she didn't, why would she go out of her way to make herself look like that? No one looks like that naturally. And if you think hot girls in the West are shallow and materialistic, just wait until you meet hot Korean girls...

My question: is that your only reason to come to Korea?

ive dated a few really pretty korean girls here. as hot or hotter than the pics the OP posted. they r out there and like some have said, if thats ur goal, u just have to keep going out there, it will happen eventually. but be warned...

their interest in u will be fleeting at best. the type of girls that look like that tend to be really popular with other foreign guys and the locals as well. and having a foreing bf can be sort of fashion statement for some. just one to show off to their friends, brush up on their english with, then when a hotter guy comes along or one with more money, ur out. sad to say, but its true. and there r korean guys that r a lot hotter than most foreign guys here. we tend to be a little more out of shape and the lack of clothing options means we dont dress as nice as k-guys. they tend to be thinner and in general, the metrosexual type, which k-girls love.

ive found the girls that r in the 6-8 range (out of 10) tend to be the best partners in a relationship. for one reason, the girls that r into foreign guys often fall into that group. ... if u didnt know, there r 3 types of k-girls. those that date only foreign guys (for a plethora of reasons), those that occasionally date foreign guys. and those that never date foreign guys.... and the ones that belong in the first group make much better gfs. what they lack in terms of physical beauty, they make up for in attentiveness, less materialistic, reasonable (not overdramatic like some drama queens), and more understanding about our strange waegookin ways.

so, there r ups and downs to dating both types. u can show off a hot girl to ur friends and probably have some pretty insane sex.. but, be prepared to sacrifice ur wallet and ur own since of self importance, as u will be second fiddle to her and her needs. the more westernized girl by be less attractive but will be more loving and really make u feel comfortable with her. sex may get boring after a while though, but that gives u the opportunity to really spice things up, as since she was already open minded enough to get with foreigners, shes probably open minded enough to endulge ur bizzare fantasies.

best of luck

There is someone for everyone�it just takes clicking, personality, etc. Some go through life changing partners like they change their underwear. I do believe this�relationships break up for two reasons�money or sex. This applies to business relationships, friendships, dating, marriage, etc.
But to ask the type of question the OP did�it would make me wonder about one�s confidence, self esteem, etc.
I am sure that both sexes will agree on this�.looks alone do not guarantee great sex, money, etc.! I am sure many of you guys have been disappointed sex wise after hooking up with a beautiful woman! And the same for women hooking up with handsome men!
You hook up with a beautiful woman and your buddies and every Tom, Dick and Harry will try and try and try to hit on her!

Id say, from my several years in korea, that the worse you are with western girls at home, the better luck you'll have with pretty k girls. This might sound like a somewhat surly response, but think about it guys.
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror with you girlfriend, then look into your soul. I can't count the times I saw a beautiful girl, walking hand in paw with a bear from the west. It doesnt mean you must be fat to do thin, but it doesnt hurt.
Here is why I think:
A- because white is right to the girls mentioned as the foreign only girls
B- bigger guys/weirder guys tend to go far more out of their way to meet these girls
C- bigger/weirder guys are much more willing to have their lives completely run by a cute girl

So true. And the korean brand of this attitude you want o avoid like ebola. Its just not worth it. Youve got to thoroughly vet the personality in Korea.
