You may remember me from my post complaining about Korean men who are only capable of touching 2 body parts, and western men who ignore western women in favour of Korean women.

A few weeks back I had a Koren boyfriend. We got along incredibly well, had tons in common, and he touched me with care and respect.

When he decided that he wanted to get serious, he informed his parents about me. His parents went ape, and threatened to disown him should he marry me in the future. They insisted that because he is the only child, he must keep the blood-line pure. He was disappointed, dumped me, and drank heavily the next day.

For about a month after being dumped, he would phone me at least once a week 'just to hear your voice' and ' i want to meet you as a friend', and 'i love you but my parents say no, so I can't be your boyfriend'

It wasn't funny at the time, but I can laugh about it now.


Anyway, my message to foreign women who want to get serious with a Korean man is this:

1)Find out if he has any older brothers and if the older brother has any children (even then, you will be met with disapproval)

2) If you find yourself in my situation, ask youself this: do i want to marry a coward? Your answer will probably be 'no'.

3)It can be argued that he behaved like this due to his culture. However, it can be argued that true love knows no boundaries. If this happens to you, he probably never loved you in the first place.

If you do find yourself a Korean man, good luck, and don't get your heart broken.

awww someone had her first break up.

how cute.

OF COURSE I am not generalising from my experience.

In fact I have spoken to many Korean friends, male and female, about this situation. They all warned me that this is the attitude of KOrean men/parents towards foreign women. Moreover, the advice I gave here is the advice they gave me.

Additionally, you only have to search on Google to discover that I am not alone in this experience.

[eleruen]

don't be soft. Of course this is not my first break up.

[dogbert]

At least you wised up.

When Koreans moan about keeping their "blood lines pure", the white horses would do well to remember their own blood lines and what they have accomplished.

Rule of thumb: When a relationship gets "koreanized" it usually means all the joy and life has been sucked out of it.

I don't think it's racism. Korean bloodlines ARE NOT PURE. Koreans have been invaded, cross-pollinated, immigrated to, kidnapped and brought back later, exiled, sent abroad as tribute, inter-married (REALLY!) and so on for thousands of years. Park Chung-Hee et al. are responsible for popularising this concept in the modern era, don't listen to it for a second.

He's not saying it as a white power thing, he's saying that people should be proud of their heritage in the face of real Korean racism. Or not. If you want to make me out to be some sort of storm-trooper for saying that, go ahead.

It's also not that white women should be more tied to white men than vice versa. A different sexual dynamic exists when Korean men, who can or will or want to inter-marry less than Korean women, chase white women than when Korean women date white men.

"Riding the white horse" (that's you by the way) is a Korean saying that equates you with an animal. Is that the way you want to be characterised? As far as I know Korean women don't have an equivalent saying for white men, although there was this one time.....But I digress.

Agree with Dogbert and Pyongshin....

It's imortant to recognize that a lot of the worlds most significant achievements in science, business, technology, arts, philosophy (give me Socrates over Confucious anyday) etc, etc, come from Europe or people of European descent.

Recognizing that doesn't make whites superior or other races inferior. It's just there in your face. The reasons why Europeans have largely dominated the world are in history. Not in genes. So it's not really a racial issue at all.

Maybe Dulouz will post more Stones lyrics:

"White horses, couldn't drag me a-waay..."

Or Brown Sugar

As I began to read the op's initial post I was scrolling down and I immediately got this sense of dread that I knew who was going to be responding and what her tone was going to be. I wonder if Corporal has ever posted a positive or helpful message. You should perhaps change your username from Corporal to General Negativity.

[eamo]

Yeah Corporal. All you're saying is, "what?!!". Why don't you articulate what is wrong with the OP's remarks instead of just, "what?!!".
