Fascinating blog post (not mine) about Korean attitudes toward Korean women marrying foreign men. Doesn't really seem as if much has changed since 1988.

Writing about 'prejudice against intermarriage'...in 1988 and 1998

choice quote: "Korea's Democratic Party leader Kim Han-gil, said that 'the reason white men really like Korea is to chase after Korean women'"

Do you agree that the reason white men really like Korea is to chase after Korean women?

No offense, but hasn't much of this territory been covered in other threads? And some of the subject matter could arguably be said to give rise to concerns which have been addressed in the thread on Mixed-Race children in Korea, no?

I'm sure most white men don't come to Korea to prey on Korean women, but who can blame them for trying? Korean women are fetching. I'm often flummoxed by the number of, shall we say, plain, foreigner men I see with outright knockout Korean women. But if they are attracted to one another, see fit to invest their time and energy into one another, what concern is it of mine? It's challenging to be an interracial relationship anywhere, but yes, Korea offers its own special set of challenges. My Korean BF was greeted with approval when he told his coworkers he was dating a foreigner. But then they found out I wasn't a white foreigner, and proceeded to ask him why he didn't just wait to meet a "nice Korean girl" instead. So these things cut many ways.

Also, I fear that rather than provoke thoughtful commentary about mixed race couples in Korea, this thread is likely to invite the eventual vacuous comment about how Korean women are tired of tiny penises.

As a woman who has had the privilege of sampling partners from a variety of races and endowments, I can say from experience that size makes no difference if a man doesn't know how to make good of his implements. Or it may just be a reflection of the limited sexual experience of some Korean women that they're so eagerly racked by the "ecstasy" of sex with a foreigner? Again, it shouldn't be of much importance so long as the two people in question are genuinely attracted to one another.

While it doesnt apply to anyone on Daves, there are a lot of white guys who act this way towards Asian women.

Sadly, a lot of American media encourages this sort of behavior. Its somehing most people find disgusting, but sure you can think of a friend or two who act like this back home.

They come to Korea to escape police prosecution ( 2 more years for the statute of limitations to run its course)

Korean women are goddesses and I'm sure it is a big reason TEFLers come back again and again (that and being unable to get a job in their home countries)

It's an exaggerated stereotype, but people go to China and Japan for the culture, SE Asia for wine, women, and weather, and Korea for the money/see the world factor.
