Nothing surprising here.
From my own perspective: I think many New Zealanders have similar attitudes toward dating 'foreign' Asians (not Asian New Zealanders). I.e: experimentation is fine, but settle down with a 'real' Western person after all is said and done...

My wife has said the same thing. I have to wonder just how accurate a survey like this is as well. A sample of 200, wow...that's huge! |

I'm sure the naysayers would change their tune if a Brad Pitt or Heidi Klum type said,
"Hey, wanna get some coffee or something?"

Yet another fascinating sociological study based on a "significant" sample of 50 yonsei students.  |

According to what I hear recently a good 80% of male westerners are "brad pitt" types (the others being bruce willis). But let's not get started on that. |

But look at this picture that comes with the article!
Behold the foreign man, virile beast with golden locks!
It looks clipart from the 1992 version of WordPerfect. The sexy version. |

| Yes, that picture is amazingly just like how I look. My wife loves to run her hands through my long, flowing locks. She especially loves to gaze up at me and brush against my hard, muscled body. |

| Not a lot of choices in the survey, were there? I like how the middle option was "just for the experience". Anything else apparently makes you either a bloodline-defender or a traitor. No room for "if the opportunity came along and I liked the guy/gal..." |

I was once stopped in front of the COEX and asked to do a survey by a group of university students. Thinking I'd give them a hand and agreed to do it. The survey happened to be about 'foreign perceptions of Korean men and women'.
The questions were so overloaded and poorly written it really made me feel uncomfortable doing the survey, but since I agreed to do it, I did it anyways. It made me feel dirty and violated.
I will never do another survey again in Korea. |

| I never planned on getting hitched to a Korean women. What's the big deal? If you meet somebody and hit it off, cool. If you don't, cool. |
