Korean Job Discussion Forums

[KwardBound]

In my search of this forum I think I read somewhere a post by a guy who says that he saves money by chatting up girls on College Campuses as opposed to at malls and other social gathering hubs. Anyone care to verify this as being a way to get in with the ladies? Also, these are the ladies most likely to accept that I have no money for them, right (because I presume that they are also broke).?

If not who are the ladies that are broke, understand that I am also broke, but will give me some play simply based off my charm?

And the answer is...no! NO! You are not less of a tool because you're white and in Korea! You're still a tool!

This is not a place to try to go cheap on the girls.

[KwardBound]

Uh-oh, I'm being categorized rather quickly.

Seriously though, I saw it mentioned on a post when I put "frugal" into the search engine and I just wanted to verify what's up.

I'm sorry if I offended you folks who fancy blowing your paychecks on these girls, who once you remove all of the make-up and lore, are just humans like you and me.

BTW, I'm not white.

I'm going to assume that the person who wrote that is referring to the fact that you can walk around a campus for free, the whole cost of which might be a latte or whatever you prefer to sip on while you're trying to meet women. Malls usually end up with some kind of purchase whether you intend to or not, and other social venues I assume are bars and clubs, where you should buy a drink or two if you plan on lurking around for awhile.

The fact is that here in Korea, college students aren't usually broke in the same sense that college kids in the west are broke. Sure, they don't have any money, but most of them never had any of their own money and won't have any of their own money for a long long time.

Do you ever wonder why these college campuses are always such a flurry of students out eating and drinking merrily? There are two main reasons 1- Parents
It is the norm in Korea for parents to support their children in every way until they obtain a good job and can afford to pay them back by allowing them to live in their homes. I have dated many Korean women and have many Korean friends who confirm this. Still not certain? Ask 85% of college aged kids what their job is. Answer:Student.
Mommy and Daddy pay for them to study. They don't just pay tuition, they pay living expenses.

2- Plastic
How often do you see people paying for dinner with cash? The card is King here and that card is credit. Rack up the credit and find ways to pay it off later...or ask daddy.

That being said, Korea is the most materialistic country in the world. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. You can search it on here if you want, someone posted a research report that proves that fact.

IMHO you will get what you want if you look for it.
There are many women here (and in the West don't get me wrong) that ONLY care about your wallet. These women are incredibly easy to spot. If you like the girls in designer clothes, gucci bags and dior sunglasses, you're stupid if you think they won't expect lavish gifts from their boyfriends (s, for plural. They often have more than one).
College girls are no exception. Yes younger girls tend to focus more on the idea that "all you need is love", but college girls aren't that young and are often already prospecting for potential money bag husbands. That's why if you happen to go to SNU you will notice a significant attraction difference than if you go to a lesser university.

You don't need to spend tons of money on women, and I would highly suggest you don't. But you also cannot expect to take them out to Mcdonalds and in return expect them to feel incredibly secure with you.

Meet a girl, be honest and be the best that you are. If she's interested in you things'll progress great. If she's interested in your money that will become evident very quickly and that in itself should be your cue to walk away. I myself could never stomach being with a woman who is only interested in money.

Thanks alot for your mature breakdown, Mr. DutchTouch

I have a friend who used to successfully do street pick-up in South Korea even though everyone said it couldn't be done--Koreans have a lot of social programming, but Korean women are still women. I think it takes a higher amount of skill though, so if you're going to go at it, keep trying/fine tuning your game till you have it down!

Best strategy is still to hang about a place where you will find someone with common interests. If you like art history, hang about an art school. If you like science, check out the geology dept.
Good luck, be respectful, have fun.

^ Hongdae is riddled with my kind of girls.

The typical Korean male approach to picking up women falls just short of actually picking them up and taking them somewhere where they'll buy them expensive bottles and go clubbing.
If you actually show some semblance of personality and you are comfortable with yourself and not fazed by the constant shit they throw at you, you'll find that there are ALWAYS girls that are interested in going out with you.

As Mr.Bateman said, Hongdae helps

Ah, just as I suspected...you all have 2009 and 2010 registration dates

[Dutchtouch]

I'm curious what our registration dates have to do with anything?

[djsmnc]

[Dutchtouch]

Haha, kindof ignorant of you to assume that my registration date on this forum is in any way indicative of my time spent in Korea, or the level of my sexual drive don't you think?

Either way, the fact that I only joined this forum this year has absolutely nothing to do with how I perceive women, or the approaches I take to meeting them. Nor does it have anything to do with the advice I try to send out to people asking for it.
If you are only going to assume things that aren't true and pigeon hole people why don't you do it somewhere else?
