|
|
Well, I have been in Europe two months, and every city I go I have observed the Korean women, most of them university students.
Here is what I observed:
Korea Women know they are wanted! They strut around in Italy like they are super models. The Italian men yell, BELLISIMA! And they smile and STOP to talk to the men! In bars they are open, talking to Italian men, holding hands, kissing in public. Even the "plain" ones feel like movie stars. And the Italian men make their heads swell and SWELL. I went to a huge disco in Florence on weekends. The Korean women were always at the VIP tables with rich Italian men buying them drinks. They would have to fight the men off on the dance floor. The Italians were really after them!
In Germany it is pretty much the same. In bars, the Korean women are often with the German male students. They are not shy, and seem to sense the same power that those in Italy have. They strut down the street in pairs, and many wear short skirts and the men do not go crazy, but at night, in the bars, the German men flock around them, and the girls can choose.
Now, when they go back to Korea, what do you think happens? They tell their friends about their adventures, and soon they go back to europe, stars, power, and adventure.
The Korean men, on the other hand, seem really insecure in Europe. They usually go around in small groups, wear the gilligans island hip hop hats, are usually looking at a map, and there lives with the women are pretty much dead. They sit around at the bars, smoking THIS cigarettes, and watch everyone dance.
Now.........the poor fellow who is with a beautiful Korean woman, has a big problem. SHE is checking out the men! The HUGE blond Geman men, and her man has the look of defeat on his face. I sat on the bus today with a Korean woman and her Korean boyfriend a few seats up. The fellow was looking depressed as she flirted with some Germen students, trying out her broken German phrases.
I find Japanese women about the same over here. High in demand, and confidence super high.
well, time to hit the pubs! People are actually wearing jackets here in Germany now!

i've never been to europe, but in america, i recall the korean women as a group who was likely to wear sweatshirts and khaki pants. i was kinda suprised to come hear and meet some of the more adventerous ones. same with korean men too, really.
it's funny how people come away with different impressions |

Dude...the italians go after every half- decent woman, of every nationality. That is their style! When I was there I saw them yelling the same stuff in the street at English chicks, irish chicks, etc. Anyone that looks different catches their eye because Italy is fairly homogenous to start with. I've seen a blonde swede in N.Italy once get called at twice in the space of 3 minutes. Shouting at any woman that catches their eye is second nature to an Italian.

Dude...this happens to women of every nationality..every night..in every bar worldwide.

Women always check out other guys, and guys always check out other women..all entirely normal and expected. especially if they're of a different race. |

I sometimes play a game when I'm bored, noticing average looking Korean woman in a crowd who would have guys swarming her if she was in North America. |

Korean women aren't necessarily the No.1 choice of all men worldwide, either.
I remember hanging out with some s.African guys in london once and we were chatting to a typically pretty K-gal. Afterwards they noticed stuff like "Look at her trying to run! So unco-ordinated. Not fit or athletic like our women".
Sure, if you're used to seeing only german women all your life, you're going to be well curious at the sight of a korean. But..I always thought they are an acquired taste. Myself and plenty other foreigners here didn't think much of them at first. In fact I only was interested in western women for about the first 6 months I was here. Took me a while to start being drawn to the unique charm of k- women.
I've heard k-women going on about being the most beautiful in the world..its just an extension of their nationalist "compare ourselves to other nations" BS.
They are good looking and know what to wear in terms of clothes and make up. But a firm-bodied, athletic, voluptuous caucasian/south American/ Nordic woman can often have a "fuller" appeal. |

I've never heard Korean girls say this, but oh you should hear the Chinese. I have a lot of Chinese friends and I trusted them when they gushed about how beautiful South Korean girls are. I mean they went on and on, and all my Chinese friends agreed, across the board, Korean girls are the best looking Asians. Imagine my surprise when I arrived here and surveyed a landscape of ugly women (mostly) painted like dead clowns and dressed with even less sophistication than your average Beijinger. |

All this talk about Korean women being beautiful...some of them are very beautiful, at a specific age range...then they become ajumas, cut their hair short, strap a baby on their back, put on the visor, and walk around hump-backed, and sell letuce and hock luggies everyday. |

Miss International is a beauty pageant (officially titled "The International Beauty Pageant") that was created in Long Beach, California, USA in 1960. Hosted there until 1967, it then moved to Japan from 1968-1970, being hosted each year in the same city as the Japan Expo. For 1971 and 1972, it was held in Long Beach again, but since that time has been annually held in Japan. Also called a "Festival of Beauty" and even the "Olympics of Beauty," this pageant is not based on looks alone. Contestants are expected to serve as "Ambassadors of Peace and Beauty," showing tenderness, benevolence, friendship, beauty, intelligence, ability to take action, and, most importantly, a great international sensibility.
