Hey! Why did that thread started by that horny guy about pining after hot chicks in Seoul get yanked? It was actually one of the most (OK...one of the ONLY) interesting things I've read on here in a while! |

My outstanding thread was removed for review, adventureman. Hopefully, after a quick review, it'll return.
Still horny. |

W-O-M-E-N, not girlies or chicks. Unless you want it to sound like you prefer the underage type. |

So it was your fault, JongnoGuru?
I thought I might have offended western female readers because they can be funny like that, but there's really no need in finding my view that Korean women are beautiful objectionable. I'm not hurting anyone. Maybe I was wrong though and it was removed for 'review' for some other reason. Maybe someone completely flamed me?! |

Girlies and chicks sound underage? Then what about girls? That's a term I use, (nearly) regardless of someone's age. Along with young lady. What do you think of babe/babes or baby? Does that sound like someone prefers infants?
BABE, BABY
I've never been able to say those as terms of affection. It's just not me. It's just anyone, really, despite what they've conned themselves into believing. I snicker inaudibly whenever I hear someone in Real Life use those words seriously. They belong in movies, as only two or three men who've ever strode the planet can say them with any conviction. (And none of them ever lived in Korea.) However, I can bring myself to refer to groups of them who I don't know as "babes". That's okay. Nothing wrong with that.
WOMAN
When I hear W-O-M-A-N I tend to think of people my mother's generation. Them or old lesbians. Someone asked me if he could bring "my woman" to a party I was having. I was expecting his mom to show up. In fact, it was just a Korean girlie. I mean babe. No, young lady.
Spinoza, I don't think it was my fault what happened to that other thread. Your OP put into words what a lot of us think but usually try (or should try) to keep restricted to the clubhouse. Otherwise, we're just begging to be flame-broiled. Which I suppose is fitting, this being peak BBQ season. Ahh, the late autumn weather is unbeatable.
But instead of firing up the grill (I'm a month away from reverting to my semi-annual vegetarianish penance), I decided to spend this weekend pricing/inspecting zoysia grass sod for two building sites and installing new halogen lighting in the home theatre.
Replacing these...
with these...
Handsome, no? |

Girls is not as bad as girlies. Even so, most people realize that girl represents females from about 8-14 years old, depending on social context and what have you. Certainly there is room to call university students girls especially when they tend to behave like them, but anyone calling a female over the age of 21 a "girl" should ask themselves why. It's as odd as a woman referring to her SO as a "boy".
And yes, if I see the word babe or baby used to refer to one's SO used *excessively*, I do think that person prefers to infantilize his or her mate. |

Because if Koreans stumble here and find out 23 year old males came here not to teach children but to bone their daughters, they would complain to SBS and there would be a very nasty TV documentary about it and the whole site would be DoS attacked to death. |

I agree with corporal. Any woman 18+ should generally be referred to as a "woman". If you're legally an adult, you're a man or woman. |

Sorry woman, but when it comes to Korea you've got girlie girls and ajummas. They're one or the other (or harlmonies).
Did it occur to you that the OP may have been talking about real girlies (the 20-something K-kind) and not boring, poorly built white chicks? |

See, when you keep throwing the term "girlie" around, you may be thinking of a hot K-"chick",
but all it really does is make us women imagine you as a beer-bellied, portly gentleman sitting in a poorly lit bedroom with some trashy magazines lying around and a lot of dubious phone bills.
Have it your way though. |

Right. That's why it's important to maintain the idea that we take our responsibilities as teachers seriously, even while we are more than happy to bone their daughters, too. It's all about balance. And stamina. |
