Depends on the individuals but age does matter a whole lot more than in the west. It also depends on your other assets how willing an older woman would be to date you.

I had a 21 year old foreign friend here a few years ago and he was endlessly frustrated about the age thing being a barrier for him...I dunno how true it was though.

I'm two years younger than my wife, although she's very un-Korean as well.

i met a girl on the subway, but i found out that she's older than me by 2 years. her b-day is 81, i'm 83.

I read in one of those travel guides that koreans have like this seniority system in place.

*beep*, she definitely didn't act like a korean when she met me. and she's really pretty and short to boot. but i guess it makes sense that she's a bit short, since she's part of the "old" generation. fuckin' eh


2 years aint much...most of the time i reckon they use that 'youre like a little brother to me' line just to get away from guys they dont like...if she likes you, 2 years is unlikely to make a difference.

we met on the subway and i asked her for her number and contacts. she was very receptive towards me when we first me. she was grabbing at my wrists and we were talking a whole bunch. in the emails, she was really really forward, in some ways. a korean girl friend told me that her actions on the subway were very very un-korean.

but then i found out her age and she found out mine, so now i'm not so sure what's up.


did anything change after she found out your age? if not, just run with it...

dont get too hung up on it...

The first girl I went out with here was 29. My current gf is 27(I'm 23). So hasn't been a problem for me.

Korean age is different since they start from conception.....so knock off about a year or so to get the real age.

I'm 24 and have a 'friends with benefits' situation with a 33 year old.

It all depends on the individual.

It's kind of a trend lately for Korean girls to date younger guys. Before I heard it was a no no.

So the answer is yes, and I know many couples where the girl is older.

i'm talking about a late 20s women, going out with a mid 20s guy. does it happen here?

is age a big "thing" in korea? cuz i heard that seniority is really important



In my experience, many Korean women will go out with younger guys. I'm 21 and I've only ever dated older girls here, but I have a tactic for that which I settled long before I came to Korea (since I prefer more mentally mature women than my age range).

I ignore their questions about my age and then I tell them later on when I feel they're already strongly attracted to me. At that point it doesn't matter. Also it helps that I look about 26.

The caveat is that I have dated and prefer very "international style" Korean women who have studied or lived abroad. Usually they're more open minded to begin with.
