I met at least the 3rd guy who says he was eaten up by a Korean woman several years ago, stopped dating them and who seemed to be hurting. In 1996 , when I first came here I met the first guy who felt this way. He waited out the remaining time on his visa at a guesthouse eating self made gimbap and drinking soda pop. Another guy said a similar thing. All were good looking younger guys. I have my own experiences with woman here in Korea but am older, so the curcumstances are not the same.
Anyway. Things seemed to be a lot easier with the Taiwanese women than here, for example. A lot of guys ended up marrying Taiwanese women , so it isnt that they used and abused them.

Independence seems to be part of the equation, but women are independent back home too. Or are they? I mean a lot of locals live at home, have bank accounts and so forth.

Just wondering.

I agree, most Korean women are man eaters. I am also older and have had my experiences. You can read about my latest on this thread. YOu have to scroll down a bit to get to the meat of the story.

Hard to say. I've been through a few crap relationships with Korean girls. I also know at least half a dozen guys that are happily married.

I don't think Korean girls are any more or less man eaters than girls from any other culture. However, the waegook thing is probably harder to manage in Korea than other places.

i have no idea really tho.

I don't know your friend but maybe the kind of guy who's driven to eating gimbap and drinking soda (do you have to be driven to that? couldn't he at least have developed some kind of substance abuse problem?) by a breakup with a woman is the kind of guy who's easy to walk all over.

I've had experience with having women giving me the run around and f*cking with my head and what I've figured out is that in order for that to happen, you have to let it happen. Women (and men) walk all over people that let themselves be walked all over.

Intercultural relationships are no more difficult to pull off than regular relationships. It always depends on the personalities of the people.

All I can say is don't go after the Itaewon girls who've been with half the foreigners in Seoul and you probably quadruple your chances of a decent relationship.

I think finding a quality woman in Korea is not necessarily easy anywhere, but it could be rougher on a Western guy since we can't speak the language, and even if I've been here for a year and a few months, I still don't know Korean culture and the more I know it, the less I want to risk dating a Korean girl. However, the Western girls are not as common in general, though I do have some Western girlfriends, and it is easier to get to know them. Western women sometimes do not seem as approachable as Korean women in terms of the way they smile, look at you.... Some of the Western girls, even if they really want a guy don't seem to have that welcoming attitude, and I don't mean asking you to go with them to a love motel. That is why many guys, in the end, date Korean women. They do, at least, on the surface seem friendly. That's my experience. I am sure there are good women in every culture.

Korean women are pretty much drummed out of the workforce by age 30. They gotta get what they can get when they're young and have their looks and body. Combine that with a lot of idiot white guys who come here, never had a date with a woman back home, and are suddenly in ga ga land and make a lot of incorrect assumptions about their appeal. Idiot men happy to be human welcome mats and user women have a way of finding each other.

A lot of weird girls seem to attracted to Internet dating sites too. I'm sure a lot of the guys are weird too, but that is for another thread.

Internet dating is ok if you are honest and just want a good time, a tiny minority might find true love, but there a lot of dishonest play girls and a few psychos out there.

Alot of the generalizations you read on the Internet aren't true.
