i wish dude. she's AMAZING. but she's attached and super conservative... that's why i asked her, she'd give me the most frank assessment of how challenging it could be to date a korean girl.

the korean girl i like is a hell of a lot less liberal, and totally cool... but she's still korean so i'm steppin' lightly.

Skinship (�����󫷫ë�) is a Japanese word with obvious English root origins coined in Japan, initially to describe the closeness between a mother and her child due to the physical contact of their naked skin. Contemporary use of the word includes the close relationship that develops between friends or coworkers when they share their nakedness at a public bathhouse, known as a onsen or a sento depending on the type, stripping away the social construct that would otherwise differentiate them as boss and employee or senior and junior. The earliest citation of this word appears in Nihon Kokugo Daijiten, 1971.


The Japanese: always innovating.

i was telling her i might ask out a korean girl and was asking for dating advice and cultural differences...

her last bit of advice was "do not be in too much of a hurry to get close... you know what i mean? SKINSHIP ^**^"

"skinship". it has now been added to my vocabulary.


Skinship, touching skin to skin, i.e. don't make out with her. They will tell you this regardless of whether the girl in question is a virgin or a playgirl. Unless the person whose advice you're asking is a friend they will just give you the conventional 'right thing to say' as not to do so would be considered ill-mannered. You have to treat each girl as an individual.

Saying that I find your idea that you have to 'go carefully' with Korean girls risible in the extreme. Laughing

I'm talking about leading you on to thinking there's something there that isn't, just so you'll keep talking to her for free.

Be warned.

You remember all of his "So I was minding my own business the other day ..." stories? They were definitely good stories. I used to check out the forum just to look for Derrek threads.

That kind of relationship is just a joke.

If you have gotton to know each other well enough, and feel like it has just reached the point where is she is just leading you on (i.e., after a few dates) then why not just be upfront and honest and straightforwardand with her and ask her why she is with you?

Don't believe or trust them!!!!!!!!! thats the best advice.


Note: following Rapier's advice on women will probably earn you a slap across the face, if not worse. Wink


Isn't he still single? Rolling Eyes


For a man, being married != being successful with women.

Rapier tells it straight 99 4/100th of the time.

So your advisor is super conservative and the one you like is even less liberal?

Why do you assume Derrek must have been hurt many times or is somehow bitter. Don't be so naive to assume every girl is completely honest and is not using you. And NO luckily I have not been hurt this way myself.

I know it is hard for some people believe but some people korean girls don't like you for your sparkling wit (haha) and movie star looks (hahaha).

It doesn't take Dr. Phil to figure that one out. Archival evidence abounds, and it's quite sad/funny.

PS - Derrek, I'm glad you didn't really have SARS.

Take her hand and pull it towards your cock. Set it on your trouser snake and see her reaction.

If she keeps it there then you're good as gold, if she pulls it away it was never meant to be.

We're too old to waste our time with teases and prudes. What is this, fucking 9th grade?

I'm all for testing the waters pretty early to make sure I'm not wasting time, but that's pretty hard core Maxxx, what ever happened to leaning in for a good old fashion kiss on the pecker?

A kiss on the pecker!? Is that the mouth?

I guess you have to do whatever the situation dictates but wasting time only increases your chances of being labeled as a "friend".

I think we're old enough to be past all these dating games. If two people are actually interested in each other it should be enough just to say "Hey, let's go out for some dinner or a drink and maybe *beep* ourselves sideways afterwards."

That's just me though. I hate playing games. Or it could just be an American cultural thing. We're lazy people after all.
