Okay... bound to happen at sometime so I figured I might as well do it right.

I didn't come to Seoul for the ladies, but I'm not exactly a taken man either. I'm young (25), decent looking, and in really good physical shape. I'm ready to hit this particular scene and make it happen. Problem is... where is the scene? I don't necessarily want bottom-of-the-barrel, end-of-the-night Itaewon style hooking-up--I do have SOME standards. But, to be frank, I'm not looking for anything serious or long-term.

I want the ins and outs, the how-tos and why-fors and why-nots. Whatever ya' got let me in on it. I know many of you will get the wrong idea, but hey--I'm in my mid-twenties and unattached in a huge city! I'd be nuts to NOT take advantage of the situation and live while I can.

1) Go for your co-workers. But not the girls you know will talk to all her co-workers or girlfriennds about. There are plenty of other girls who also appreciate the d.l.

2) Make some good guy friends who have similar motives and hit the clubs and bars with them.

3) Keep your girls (if there are many) in different parts of the city.

4) Be careful when you're texting drunk

5) Speak some Korean (but still use a lot of English)

6) If you date a lot of girls, hardly ever call any of them. You'll be too busy anyways and they will call you.

7) Be funny and always enter a room with positive energy and a smiling face.

Try to give them as many new memories as possible. Be different and interesting.

9) Limit you apologising. But occisionally admit your faults.

10) Give them a few backhanded compliments (jokingly of course) before giving a genuine one.

11) Do not ask a girl what she wants. Either make the deciision or better yet give her a couple choices.


and...


12) If she is really special, appreciate that, but don't turn into a total puzzy.

Next week someone will complain that Koreans think that foreigners are little more than opportunistic sex tourists. The following week, someone will ask about room salons and juicy bars. A few days later, a poster will complain that Korean girls won't date him because of the bad rep that foreigners have and how unfair that is. And the cycle continues.

Thanks, Endo, for being the only person out of 166 views to give me some advice. Are people too proud to admit they have thought/acted like this in the past? Where's your giving spirit?

Going to the bars, flirting with the female bartenders, and meeting them after work always pays off.

Hang out with Korean MEN around your age, the kind who are educated, have some money, have some interest in foreign cultures, and don't have a chip on their shoulder about you raping and pillaging their land/women (the +35's have this disease to beware).

The deal is you hook them up with white chicks in Hongae/Itaewon and they introduce you to K-gals they know and you guys go out as a team. As you may know, Korean women don't respond well to pickups unless they are in it for the one night stands, and this is probably the best way to meet quality people who you will have something common with.

Some easy ways;
Sit in a coffee shop in a clearly visible spot near a university with a basic Korean book and wait for them to flock to you (If you are as handsome as you say.)
or
Go to Hongdae and hangout in the bars where Korean's are looking for forigners, the girls there are slightly better on average than in Itaewon.
and
Whenever you want action its best not to go out with a big group of friends looking for the same thing, they may scare the ladies. It lowers your chances, and wastes your time. Go solo, never fails.

Pkang: Usually flirting with bartendresses lands you in hot water back in States, mostly because they are "out of everyone's league" on purpose.

Benji: I'll take your advice and ignore the ending sarcasm.

Gakduki: What uni's are in the Bundang-region?

Don't listen to the advice on "Don't call Korea girls, they will call you"

That's BS. There's something called 밀땅, push and pull. Unless the girl is desperate, you'll have to initiate the communication most of the time because many girls are too stubborn. And that coffee shop with a korean book is so lame lol

[gakduki]

Yeah the coffee shop with a Korean book is lame, but it works. What do you do? Pull the old sneak up from behind trick when they are dancing in a club? or the hit on everyone with legs number trick? Maybe the do you come here often lines? Seriously The only better way is to buy a dog and take it for walks slowly with a big smile and an open ear. Or borrow your friends baby. Pathetic yes, but all three have worked for ages. And is it really lame to learn Korean in a coffee shop? At the very least you will get some tutoring help and your jave fix.

OP I don't know any universities in the Bundang area, Just look at a map of Bundang, I'm sure it will show you. Even just go there without the book and randomly chat to people practicing English.
