Korean Job Discussion Forums

A friend of mine will read this and laugh. I wonder how often us average-looking guys think this. We're not all about the looks, but they affect us. It all depends. Has she got anything else other than those looks? That's important. It depends where you are as well. A poor country where many see you as a rich guy, whether it's true or not? Then you can be an old fatso and still score easily enough. I'm sure it's not an issue for many of you, but for some of us it is at times. Sometimes ya gotta wonder why we make such a fuss over physical beauty. I would imagine this "out of my league" thinking applies to girls' thinking less than it does to guys. It seems we rarely hear girls say, "He's out of my league." When did many of us guys become intimidated anyway? It's not such a shallow thing, this importance we give to appearance. Just looking to start a discussion I suppose. It's an interesting enough topic.

Super-confident super-cool guys who got it all going on need not reply.

How many of those exist anyway? About one in a thousand?

Except on the internet it's about 50%

When I was younger I used to think that but oddly, now that I'm older (and far less attractive) I pretty much feel that I have as good a shot as any other person.

Korea Kodak moment:

Miss Korea (super hot) standing with Mr Foreigner (captain of the chess club back home, socially awkward in every country other that Korea)

Its a picture that happens a lot in Korea. This would indicate that looks and a confident personality might not be that important to a Korean women. They might be looking for an egalitarian relationship and financial freedom.

We've all seen the guys and said "how the heck did he manage to get with her?" And then we rememeber that he's probably a English teacher.

I guess this picture could apply to the following:

Miss China + Awkard Foreign Guy

Miss Thailand + " "

and so on.

Funny it's always about looks. Ever hear a guy say, 'She's too smart for me' (possible though) or 'She's too decent and kind'?

I am who I am, and I couldn't care less what people think.

Nah, girls think that nonsense too. We are as shallow as your average guy and do indeed go for the looks. However, we have been fed some crap stories like "beauty and the beast" since our childhood- seriously, can you remember once fairy tale extolling the virtues of men who marry hags- so we can get awfully proud of ourselves for being lofty and virtuously choosing the ugly dude. Honestly, I have dated some smoking hot guys and I have dated some pretty average dudes, and there is usually not a huge difference in the overall relationship dynamic. If anything the smoking hot dudes are usually better because they don't care as much about looks- they know they can get whoever they want anyway. But who the hell cares, the worst anyone can say is "no". Go for the hotties, your standards will diminish in time.

Thanks for your reply average female



I like an old quote which I cannot remember but will paraphrase

"Beauty, the gold coin of human worth. Intelligence, the silver."

What I want to know is how do I approach a woman cold?

Let's make it as favorable as possible. She's smiled at me before, and I see her again. But I've never been introduced or talked to her before.
