Sorry, I'm not saying all Korean dads are the same. Just getting this out of the way to avoid arguments. But I mean the kInd of Korean Dad who is against their daughter getting married to non-Koreans, especially non-Asians. What kInd of stuff can I do to look better in his eyes?

I am already studying Korean and also want to be in this country long term. Of ccourse I love and care for his daughter.

Why would you want to curry favour with a daft racist? Unless you need his permission for the marriage to go ahead. Behave like you would to the father of any girl you wanted to marry.

There is NOTHING you can do to change his views. Youll always be a foreigner to him, and everyone else in Korea for that matter.

So instead of acting like a beta do whatever you want and dont show any signs of weakness, that way he has no choice but to accept you.

Luckily for me my smoking hot girlfriends dad was blown away when he met me. My confidence, my success, my presence, it tends to have a way with people. We have met on multiple occassions and he thinks very highly of me, which is no surprise after meeting someone like me.

Be civil and polite to him but don't be a sniveling arselicker. Koreans are usually pathetically sycophantic when meeting each others parents. That sets them up for a lifetime of being treated like a pleb. Look him in the eyes, show that you love his daughter and will be able to take care of her (will you?), and treat her well.
If he still doesn't like you then that's his problem. Not yours.

wow get the shovel out because the $h!t is getting deep. You know on this board as well as the waygook board that you apparently recently joined, you come off as a douchebag pretentious snob. Also im pretty sure youre full of shit on anything you say. Im sure many others agree with me Laughing

OP just be yourself and be polite, pay no attention to this bag full of hot air. People's opinions change everyday and all you can do is simply do your best and show that you love his daughter. If he is still hardheaded and against you/foreigners, dont let it stop you.

He doesn't post on the waygook board any more because he didn't get a reaction from anyone on it and he got bored. If people would only do the same here he would piss off a lot quicker.

A combination of stalking, attacking, and dodging the swear filter as a violation of the rules.

I forgot all about Waygook, I was recommended to that site from a friend.. Wow... I have stalkers on multiple websites now Laughing

He's a troll. Troll. Troll. Troll. Why does everyone keep replying to him and acting indignant at his BS.
He's doing it to wind you up. Of course he's full of it. He's in an invented persona on an internet forum whose sole purpose is to take the piss and annoy people. He's kind of funny.
You really think some alpha with the job he says he has is going to be hanging out at daves??

So you cant understand why anyone responds to me when YOU follow and respond to me in the university thread, where I simply wrote I was happy to see my alma mater near the top of the list and you attacked me. Dont expect people to follow your advice when you arent even capable of doing so, genius.

Because my reply there was extremely serious, wasn't it? Or.....maybe it was! I've hit a nerve. Don't worry, Florida is a fine state (do you love oranges? I do!) and online education is becoming more and more accepted. Sorry if I offended you.

That must have been a nice wet dream you had.

Your reality must be really pitiful to make up such obvious BS. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you were still a virgin.
