Funny that as I'm reading this thread a text msg just came from a K-girl "Jessica" (named changed) whose been stringing me along for weeks and flaking out each time we try and arrange to meet up. She writes:

"Hi! How r you? What are doing this weekend?"

So after some positive influence from this thread, my reply is:

"Yeonjoo? You left ur scarf and underwear in the back of taxi Saturday night. I'll get the scarf back to ya, but the underwear is mine. Sorry it has to be like that."

That should hopefully stop the influx of her stupid attention seeking texts. Go ahead everyone. Call me juvenile and childish, but I'm sick of hearing from this girl and being played when her plan A falls through. From now on it's head tripping mind games Shocked

See you all in hell Twisted Evil

If it's a joke and she knows it, that might work. Don't be surprised if she chides you then texts you back asking you to meet up.


Nope.


Why not?

haha - I got a reply from her around 1:30am tonight:

"You sent wrong msg? This is [Jessica] not Yeonjou. I didnt leave anything in taxi. you stil wana to meet me?"

So that settles it:

1) confirms (for me) yet again that most (if not all) of the k-girls I talk to don't get obscure jokes or sarcasm.

2) the apparent 'game' seems to have the effect that everyone here was posting about. I sent that txt with the mindset to get rid of her though. I love how she spelled the 'other' girl's name wrong too...

Conclusion: I'm not meeting her. No matter what. I think she is just laying more bait. I'm just deciding on if I should set a date then cancel at the last minute like she did to me twice now. That would be sinking to the same level though, and I'm not flaky.

I'm sure I at least pissed her off by 'mistaking' her for someone else. I've been hanging with a girl for a couple of weeks who is 31 and super cool. No games, and a similar mature mindset. Also, fluency in English is a big deal for me. I'm tired of simplifying everything I say... There seems to be a strong positive correlation b/w English fluency and no b*lls**t text msging.

^ Some Korean girls play the game, but so do other girls around the world. Guys too.


There are a lot of great Korean girls out there too. People should stop with the labels and recognize human nature for what it is.

You don't need to speak another language fluently to know if someone wants to f--- you.

These k-girls have better noon-chi than you guys and you all are painfully obvious that you want to f--- them so bad, that's why they are playing with you, dropping lame-ass texts and flaking out on you .

I disagree that women are better and more mature about sex the older they get. They are all aware from aged 12 until death abouts men's sexual advances and intentions. They are just more adept at using it to their advantage the older they get. The young ones are just enjoying flexing their power... there are no "good" women or any of that. All women, unless they have a physical birth defect, enjoy flexing their sexual power. They just feel less of a need to the older they get.

I know it's counter intuitive, but the more ass you get from others, the more women want you. They are just competitive by nature. Don't believe any woman, no matter what she looks like or what she writes on a message board, who says otherwise.

Awesome post

However, the problem comes down to the competitiveness of "the game" in Korea- Korean women are being sought after by both foreign men and Korean men.
However, Korean men are getting anxious because of the perception of a gender imbalance in Korea due to parental preference for boys at birth.
For their perceived "uniqueness", foreign men are sought because they are seen as an escape from the servitude of marriage to a Korean. However, to counter this, Korean business men are sought because they are perceived to provide for many things foreign men can't provide- a stable job, a car, a home, etc.
In essense, there are too many men here, all after the same thing and that's what creates the perceived power women seem to wield. I agree a girl learns what she could get if she acts a certain way, which drives men crazy and allows them to manipulate men to get what they want.

I think the one thing to counter their "gonju byung" is to have money and status- they see that and go crazy. But if you show them that they can't have it by using their usual means, they either get upset or try harder.

Power and money are the key*

LOL, nice work. I've also found that women in their early 30's are the best here. But older women can play head games too, so don't let your guard down. I got real fed up with one of them because she wasn't respectful, she was eight years older than me and I felt like she used her age as an excuse to boss me around and treat me like a kid.

And about your last point, fully agree. I figured this out the hard way, but if you are looking for more than just a roll in the hay, then DO NOT try to date someone with whom you do not share a language that you are both completely fluent in. It is extremely alienating, and you will feel "alone" even in her company, because you will not be able to fully express yourself to her, she will not get your jokes, etc. You may think you can teach her, but that takes a lot of patience and it is really a pain to be a language tutor and a boyfriend at the same time.

If you must date Korean girls, and your own Korean is less than awesome, you're better off sticking to the ones who already speak excellent English. They're much more likely to have something in common with you.

Yes, I totally agree with this now.

After thinking about all the girlfriends I had, almost all of them thought of me as some kind of player... (which is totally not true and apparent from all the posts about my lack of knowledge and understanding about dating and women. I think peppermint, panda, and all the other well known women on this forum can vouch for that. ) They all asked me how many women I had... etc etc. Assuming I had sex all the time.

Anyways, I was talking to my ex last night. From everything she said, I finally understood the head games, and the ploys she was using to try to get men to do things.

She even told me one time she had a date with TWO GUYS at the same F****ing time!

I was like... wow those guys are balless freaks. It could be the princess of Mongolia for I care, I would not stoop so low to date a girl with ANOTHER guy present. That's just F****ed up.

The men here are desperate and that makes dating here even more F****ed up. Women love the power. I could tell. Both my ex's loved telling me and bragging how they could make men do things.

Frankly speaking, I can relate. I don't manipulate, but humans are very easy to manipulate given you use the right rhetorical tools. Women have so much power with their ability to use sex...

It's kind of disgusting to me, but who am I to judge? It's human nature and frankly speaking, this is a time old joke about how women use sex to control men....

In any country, on any planet, females only have that power if you allow them to have that power. It's really about a males attitude that defines this "power" females have.
