Two things:
One, this might explain, in part, the feeling of possessiveness some Korean men feel. The waygookins who marry a Korean woman are limiting their chances of finding a bride.
The pure bloodline thing is a political myth. I've met two different people who claim they are descendants of Confucius. I asked both if that meant they are Chinese-Korean. Both denied it and claimed to be 'Korean'. The other people at the table all agreed. I think it's one of the examples where Koreans know both an ideology and a fact and choose the ideology. |

Maybe this is why there's been an upsurge in waygookin attacks. Korean men are jealous of us waygookins. |

From what I gather there aren't any people with 100% Korean bloodlines now. |
True..I hate to break it to the Koreans, but the last name "Lee" is not of true Korean lineage. It's origin is Chinese...hahaha!!! Go is Japanese, too. |

Age groups for male/female ratios in a country are important. There are always more old women than old men since women live longer.
Maybe 101 or 102 males born per 100 females is normal to keep the ratio at around 50/50 if females live a few years more?
I assume more males die every day?
I guess that even if the overall ratio is 50/50 there are still going to be more men than women of a marriageable and reproductive age?
How about the number of gay people? LOL. I guess that's near equal? |

There are only 3 Korean surnames with Japanese origins.
The Woolok Kim's
Hambak Kim's
Gwaesan Jeom's
True most Korean names orginate in China. But that was along long time ago.
Korean names are split into clans. Just because you have the same last name as someone, does not mean you are of the same clan. Example, if two Kim's meet each other, often they will ask where their bon-gwan is. Which means which Kim clan they belong to. The largest clan in Korea is the Kimhae Kim's, with over 4 million people. |

| Yeah, funny how racial purity takes a backseat to a life of loneliness. I mean, it is simple math, if you abort female babies and have a dysfunction rate of 113m/100g wtf do you think is going to happen? For a country that likes to brag about its supposed mathematical prowess(again, a sham) they sure can't do basic math.... |

Nah, I doubt it. They're not thinking, "Oh sure, go ahead and sleep around with our women, but just don't marry them, please, leave us a bride, no matter how well-used she's been!"
Fairly sure the average K-guy would rather you marry the woman afterwards (since she's been tainted by the white already anyway.)  |

Well, there's your answer right there - Korean men should be marrying Japanese women; there are more than enough available... Although the numbers are showing that Chinese men need the help more than Korean men. |

Seems that the Chinese just don't learn

Beijing - The Chinese government has decided it will not prohibit abortions used to prevent the birth of girl babies even though sex-selection abortions have contributed to a stark gender imbalance that is creating a host of social problems. The nation's state-owned media reported the plan to scrap the idea.
China now has 119 boys for ever 100 girls, a gender imbalance that is far from the normal 103-100 ratio seen in industrialized nations across the globe. The imbalance has given rise to a culture of massive sex-trafficking and the kidnapping of teenagers and young adults to be forced into marriage.

| Factor in the staggering number of Korean women that work as prostitutes, or in Dalonjijoms, room salons, massage parlours, etc., that's gotta be another 10% of the entire Korean female population. |

I'm wondering how many of those Japanese women are quite old. After age 65 or so the female/male ratio could be 60/40 or even 65/35. I just recall seeing this on another site. Among oldtimers the majority is women, and Japan has a lot of old people, possibly enough to account for the extra 3 million...
Anyway it's not such an important point. There are plenty of good younger women in all these countries for any man worth looking at, especially poorer countries like VN, China, Philippines... |

| Has anyone here, who's actually looking, found a lack of korean women? I think there's plenty. Just don't be too slow jumping on the bandwagon chaps. |

Sorry Korea |
No life, apparently, holds any exhilaration after a ride on the Cohiba Express- whenever I approach K-women nowadays, they all say "I don't want anyone lame like you, I want Cohiba again. He's so  "
Okay, but seriously:

I think the part of the problem with shortage of available women in Korea is that us waygooks have multiple Korean gf's.
We don't have trouble finding Korean women do we? |
Even if all of us were marrying the locals (thus keeping them off the market for life) I don't think there are enough of us here to really make much of a difference. |
