Well another friend of mine just split with his K-girl because of her familiy's objections. That makes 5 "long termers" versus one success. It happened to me as well. Just curious, how many of you out there met "the one" spent tons of cash, only later to be told, "My family just won't accept this, blah, blah, blah." I've changed to Vietnamese female companionship. QUITE similar, except in the attitude. Hold on to your heart, and some of that cash as well. Go to Itaewon to take care of your "needs". At least it's straight up on the "Hill".

She just wasnt that into you. But seriously. Many Koreans have always spouted out the " foreign guys are here to just get laid, and they will break the hearts of Korean women when they decide to go back home" tripe. But it happens just as much the other way around.

Haha that happened to my friend. Was dating a k-girl for 4 years and never met her family. After they broke up she was dating a korean guy for all of 2 weeks before he came over and was making kim-chi with the crew.
Just hope it doesn't go the same way for me!

I have had mutiple Korean exes marry Korean guys shortly after we broke up. And almost all of them called me within six months for some extra curricular activity.

You call it dating. She calls it free english until mummy organises a Korean guy for her to marry and keep the bloodline pure.

All very familiar...

It happens to women too. One friend of mine got pregnant with a Korean guy's baby and so they got married, but his family was always ashamed of her and she was pretty much a single mom. He was never around, always trying to appease his parents who didn't want the rest of his family to know about her... in mmmaybe a year or two, things became so intolerable that they separated and she will soon take her daughter to the U.S.

Another girlfriend of mine dated a guy for 4 years, and never met his parents. They didn't want him to date a foreigner. He would capitulate every so often and they would break up for awhile, and then get back together shortly thereafter. She finally ended it a few months ago when she realized that if he did marry her, she would be in the same situation as my other friend.

I must date odd Korean girls as I've always met the family within a month or two of starting a relationship (both Moms and Dads). That said I have friends who have never met the folks after years too.

Curious. Many possible reasons, some good, some less so.

The idea of not meeting the parents sounds good to me.

The reason why some of you haven't found the right Korean girl is because you aren't networking correctly. If you've been in Korea for a significant length of time, there's no excuse to have not found a good, honest woman.

Touch�e, anyone?

The Vietnamese are alot less anal than the Koreans. I've met her Mom. She's cool with me. I'm American. My country wasn't very nice here (Hanoi) 40 years ago, but they're nice as hell to me. Almost embarrasing actually. After 3 years in Korea and dealing with their "greatness' I've moved to Nam and will be staying. Beautiful people, beautiful country, room to move, clean air, etc. Korea's cool, but not as cool as they think. Good luck with whatever you can get from your time there.

Getting a foreign man is an elective class at most Filipino high schools.
