...and bad.

i dont know whats with my luck. honestly, i consider myself a fairly attractive guy. i try to eat right, hit the gym to stay in shape, dress clean and neat, am polite and intelligent.

but i cant score for $h!t anymore.

i used to hit up the online hubs (ublove, koreancupid) but ive come to learn there r 4 main types of girls there:

-the ones that want free english and r willing to trade sex for it,

-the ones that want free english and arent willing to trade sex for it,

-crazy assed psycho chicks, and

-the desperate ones that want to get married asap.

i would try the bar scene, but im not really a smooth talker and cant work up the nerve to talk to a girl i find attractive. i always go for the easy or ugly one, the ones that dont intimidate me.

ive heard that churches r the great hidden secret, but A: im an atheist and proud of it, and B: id feel uncomfortable taking advantage of someone by manipulating their faith (if thats something they take seriously)

so what do i do?

im tired of dating girls based on their personality. ive done that. i always end up imagining its sex with someone else. i want a smokin hot lee hyo ri girl with plump jolie lips and legs that stretch for days.

Maybe you're a troll, I dunno................but.........

If you are serious, it already sounds like you have had your share of luck cuz you have pretty much generalized 90% of the women in Seoul(IMHO).
How else can you accumulate that kind of knowlege withoug first hand experience?

As for meeting women, just be confident and funny. It scores almost everytime.
Don't go into a girl with a line. In most western countries that is a big no-no, going up to a girl with a pre-made line here will often get you some attention, but going up to a girl without a line works so much better.

Approaching a girl with a good joke can do wonders. Or a funny question does well also.

So often guys pull birds here that are so out of their league for one reason. They can talk to girls. Learn that skill and you have it made.

I've a similar issue: I'm uncommonly goodlooking but shy, introverted, and serious in demeanour. Even though I'm tall and strong, I've begun to suspect that I lack the sort of physical animal vigour or "life force" that attracts the young nubiles. As you may notice from this post, I'm also over-intellectualized, and that might be causing a ridiculous self-diagnosis. Like the other guy said, maybe we just need more practice.

I think Korean women, like women in most countries, are turned on
by success, power and money. A man's physical attributes are secondary.
Therefore I don't think you will be scoring big time being an exalted
English teacher. You'd better set up a date with the palm sisters.

Men, on the other hand, are simple idiots. We look for youth, T&A and
a not too ugly mug.

It's important to note that even if that is the norm here (which I"m not agreeing to), there is always a lot of deviation from norms in any culture. In other words, there are plenty of women in Korea who care about physical attributes more than power and money and perahps don't care about money at all. It's easy to generalise, but think about it: do you really think 90% or more of the attractive women in Korea are how you describe?

This doesn't strike me as being necessarily such a bad deal.

My dear friend. Have you not discovered alcohol? That will address your lack of confidence issue! (not joking....why do you think so many people drink?)

Knock back a few bottles.....not too many...you must maintain some control. Then just try to enjoy yourself whilst out on the town. Find a good place though....somewhere with a good mix of Koreans and Internationals. And somewhere that you like the music.

If you live in Seoul, then there are a few places like those described above. If you live in Busan, then there are one or two places like those too. As for anywhere else in Korea, i wouldn't know.
Good luck my lil' horny friend.

Be a complete scumbag (even if you're not), and don't be apologetic about it. That's the role they want us to play, as whitey English jockeys, and it works.

How old are you? Age is a big issue.

If you're under 25... I don't know what you're problem is. There are lots of girls up for the "Exotic - sex for english exchange program'.

If you're over 30... you're gonna have a hard time. You're too "old" for girls under 25, because they don't want to be seen as dating an old man. Most girls over 25 are starting to feel the pressure from parents/family/friends to land a rich guy and procreate.

You might also be what western women would find attractive (rugged/butch) but a lot of korean girls go for the pretty boys who look exactly like girls anyway.

If all else fails... you could try a reflective suit. That's why men wear shiny suits... so their girlfriends can admire their own reflection while appearing to pay attention to their boyfriends.

It just seems that its far easier for a fugly man to get an attractive girl because girls take more into consideration, like power, confidence, success and personality. Although there are exceptions, it seems much more rare for a hot guy to go for a fugly chick no matter what else she has going for her. Not saying its right, fair or nice though.
