The gyopo girls I know, and the girls who are Korean by citizenship but have lived in the US/Canada so long as to make the distinction useless (only intermediate Korean language skills), all have or have had Korean boyfriends.

I'm sure there are tools who would say you aren't Korean enough, but would you want to date them anyways?

My experience with gyopos is that they stick together. Not in all cases of course but it happens more often then not. Most of the gyopos I knew in Korea were nice enough though I always found that they chose to hang out with other gyopos instead of whiteys (I say that because they'd often let other people of Asian decent into their group long before they'd let non-Asian people).

I don't need to ask why this happens because I already know. Korean/Japanese/Chinese parents.

A little off topic... I have an English teaching friend here in Japan who is from Shanghai originally (she's native Chinese). She spent fifteen years in Vancouver (since JHS) and has a Canadian passport which is why she's able to teach here. The weird thing is that despite living in Canada for fifteen years, she speaks English very poorly and doesn't know anything about Western culture (seriously--nothing at all, unless it's also popular in China). She apologizes for this constantly.

I asked her why all of this was and it was because "I never speak English in Vancouver and all my friends are Chinese." Go figure!

As others have said Gyopos tend to generally fall into several groups-

Group 1- Churchy gyopos. Great people, helpful, kind to people of all backgrounds, know how to go out and have a fun time that doesn't involve booze. If you are a Christian waygook of any background and enjoy doing things like going to the movies, sitting in coffee shops talking or playing board games, aren't constantly annoyed at Korea/Koreans, aren't hittingon anything that's Asian and moderately attractive, etc. etc. then you'll enjoy hanging out with them and they with you. Unfortunately, that idea of fun doesn't mesh with those of us who like to go to the ballgame and have some brews, hit the club, stroll around the streets at the wee hours, have a blast at the soju tent, etc etc.

Group 2- Wannabe Gangsta/Clubbing Gyopos. Generally from Cali, though not always. Drama Drama Drama. Booze filled mayhem. The guys tend to have a bad chip on their shoulder towards non-Asian men. The girls are sometimes emotional wrecks with issues or seriously over-aggressive and domineering. Fun if your Asian and in that scene. Not fun if your not in the scene, Asian or non-Asian.

Group 3- Loner gyopos. Hang out with random people or just by themselves. Have a very small circle of friends. Either totally sober and think everyone is some partying nutcase or they are solo alcoholics who spend their time chatting to their boyfriend back home.

Now I will say that gyopos sometimes want to just hang out with other Koreans, or with other gyopos, or with non-Koreans and this may change from day to day. Just because someone wants to hang out with only Koreans or only gyopos sometimes doesn't mean that they hate other foreigners. It's just that each group likes to do certain things and other groups tend not to. Somedays you want to do those things, other days you don't.

Unfortunately, a few people in any group will give you grief if you hang out with another group. "You hang out with THEM last night? You're so whitewashed you Twinkie. Don't you know you're just some Asian to them?" or "You hung out with Koreans? What are you part of the Han now? Don't you know they'll never accept you?". Ugh.

One big thing I notice is that A LOT of non-Asians, when they get in a group of Asians, try to be the center of attention and dominate things. This can be very tiresome. Just as us NETs sometimes can't say what we truly feel when we are around Koreans or our co-workers, same with gyopos when non-Asians/non-gyopos are around. Certain things can't be talked about without having someone feel left out or uncomfortable.

you should post a pic up and we can discuss if you can date


i dunno about gyopo but ANY western girl can get a guy in south korea

but they gotta be the aggressors!

can't expect a korean dude to mack

that being said, unless you're a really pretty skinny girl, you prolly won't date a really good looking korean GUY

lots of korean dudes i've talked to (i'm a guy) said they'd date a white girl over a black girl though. i mean like your average english teacher black girl. i doubt any guy anywhere would turn down a date with one of those sexy ass black chicks from rap music videos haha.

but i also feel that the cultural differences between gyobo's and native koreans are HUGE. gyobo's are literally like full out westerners in their way of thinking. but unlike dating an actual white or black person, they look EXACTLY like a korean person. so i find that it's harder to find mutual tolerance. and stuff that you'll generally sweep under the rug for being a cultural difference would get blown up

Umm...


How about the ones who equally get along with other gyopos and people of other races? How about the gyopos who people enjoy hanging out with?

Its like you all group gyopos into these groups making them socially inept at branching out and being "normal".

Sure, I've met a few gyopos that fit into those "stereotypes". However, the vast majority I've met have been cool, normal people. They didn't fit any gyopo stereotype.

Case closed.

Yeah, it's fun to make goofy group names and such, but at my age, I find that most of the Kyopos I know are the same as me... Just trying to enjoy family life.
