I am a middle aged man who teaches here. I am wondering if there is a foreign friendly place where I can meet mature Korean women. I am not interested in Hooker Hill and Hungdae has too young of a crowd? Any suggestions? Thank you

Stay at home you old man Very Happy .

Just kidding, the bar I hang out at has an older clientel but usually come in about 7 in the evening and stay until about midnight. That is when the ESL scallywags come in and run amok but some of the middle aged guys stay there and I usually find them more interesting to talk to then the 20 somethings. Definantly got more stories to tell.

There's a place called "Don't Tell Mama" in Apgujeong that is specifically for the 30 and up crowd. I would definitely advise you to go with a Korean friend if you don't have a good command of Korean. However, the women that go there are usually business women that speak very good englishee. There's also koreanfriendfinder.com. Good Hunting!

Oh my God....The guy asked for places for MIDDLE-AGED people to go. 30 and up? 30 is nowhere near middle-aged....GEEZ...I thought middle-aged was 45 to about 60. 30? You have to be joking....I am 30 but still look 20something. Don't call me middle-aged.

Haha! A crack in the armor! From earlier posts, one would guess you'd graduate early and come to Korea at the tender age of 19.

Princess-what I meant was people under 30 are not allowed inside the club (not that they'd want to be there anyway). These days there are more and more single/divorced Korean women in their 30's and 40's. Generally speaking, a middle-aged guy in his 40's or 50's will have no problem making a connection with a lady 10 or 20 years his junior. God bless Asia.

Well, even at 30, I would not want to go there. I'd rather be in Hongdae. I think hofs are the most boring places in the world, sitting around drinking and no dancing. This club sounds boring, too.
