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.


In a male-dominated society where women are given very little real power such as Korea...they compensate for this by seeking power within their romantic relationships. They get high off having men chase and fawn over them. Some of them get addicted to this rush and its game playing.

I've noticed a new phenomenon in Korea. 33 is the new 27.

What you have is women holding out for longer and longer because they don't want to give up on their fix. Its way more common to see women single into their thirties. This includes even the hotties. Its not a case of being left on the shelf, its a case of having more options means you can hold out longer. With the help of a bit of plastic, some of these women will probably still be playing games until they're 40.

I've been dating a K-girl (about 30 yrs old) the past couple of weeks. She lived on her own for a bit but is now back living with her parents.

She crashed at my place last weekend, and at about 1am her cell phone was ringing... it was her mom, wondering why she is not home. I asked her if she was going to answer and she said NO WAY. I said you should just answer and tell her you're crashing at a friends place. She said "NO, I cannot lie to my mom."

So this girl thought it was better to let her mom worry and think of endless reasons why she is not coming home... by not picking up the phone at all... rather than to 'lie'... and at least confirm that she is safe, etc...

My point is this (going back to an earlier part of this thread): I've found the girls in their late 20s to early 30s are better to date b/c they play less games, but they are still children in their own way...

I have yet to be out with a k-girl who *doesn't* get a phone call from their mom at least once during the course of the night... even the rare girl who lives on her own...

I have, but she was nearly forty years old and probably married.

Decided to check back in on this thread that I started 5 years ago, after recently talking to someone in Seoul now who is trying to settle into the dating scene.

Can anyone share any recent funny experiences? Love to hear the crazy stories.. Sounds like not much has changed. Foreigners were already red flagged as players from back then, I'm assuming the stigma must be worse now...

Since everything revolves around text messaging, sure wish I had a smartphone rather than using that old school flip phone to text msg, which the school provided me.

I went for dinner with a co-teacher last week.

I asked her why she asked me for dinner specifically rather than invite the rest of the teachers. She said she likes my arms because they are big.

She quizzed me about my libido (becasue I am vegetarian) - she assumed because I didnt eat meat I would be a/ calm b/ (more importantly) not attracted to women.
She seemed satisfied with my response that on a normal day, Id shag the door if it would buy me a drink.

She finished the day by driving me home and declaring that it would be improper for us to have sex today but it would be ok next time.

With a quizzed look on my face, I got out of the car and decided it may be prudent to ignore her texts from now on...

She was 26.

It's only a game if two play.

Always be prepared to walk away.

Let's just face it; different people have different personalities, different levels of maturity, and different likes and dislikes when it comes to dating. If a person's approach, needs or wants don't hash well with yours, call it quits and drive on. That's why it's called DATING, not MARRYING.

Send her phone number over this way.

I can go on 2 dates with her. Unfortunately my arms are like spaghetti and I am not a vegetarian.

Hey, listen, if you insist on meeting drunk Korean girls in bars; girls who are specifically looking for the white boys, you're going to get some real head cases going on. They're essentially outsiders. Good luck.
