I left S. Korea at the age of 14 b/c my father was invited to the states by his professor - so I don’t exactly know how it is in korea but I don’t imagine that it has changed that drastically in 6 years that would justify such generalizations as “all korean women are easy” especially when these women were met in bars/clubs. Such statments only reveal the extreme baseness of one’s character. In short perhaps it is wise to research before committing a fallacy of logic.

Bottom line……who cares! It will pass, there are losers everywhere and its easy for people to focus on them to define larger groups.

The media has ruined the bar where the “infractions” happened and seriously damaged some of the girls lives. They were minding their own business and having fun. Comments made about korean women in articles related to this were very degrading to women in general as well.

Random idiots posting on a website….um, if people are going to pay any attention to that and make it newsworthy then there is a real problem. Personally I think the reporters who focussed on the issue are pathetic.

Koreans get angry about a western man dating a Korean girl. Ask a Korean man what he thinks about a Korean man dating a western girl.

This is all sensationalizm that was allowed to live mostly due to naivity, sensitivity and pride (not to mention confucianist roots). See James Bond movie.

I love Korea, so does my fiance. You have to accept some things to feel that way though. The main thing is not everything will follow logic or reason. Also, it is a land of trends, an issue is only important as long as it is fashionable.

Tip One: Never, ever again try to pick up a white chick using a website, much less one that is named bangmatch.com. You’ll probably get a man.

so what is the real issue here? are there no places on the internet where korean men speak likewise of their own women? or even “our” women? the only reason it is news at all is because korean men dislike western men becuase asian women, not uncommonly, like western men. i wish people could look at this at a macro level and not at the micro level where it is us against them. because of a few immature people, we are all walking on glass, and koreans don’t like to forgive and forget and see things objectively. they love nothing more to pour gas on a fire, and this is a warm one.

to the marmot, or whoever you are, i think you have dug the hole deeper for us somehow, and some of the “facts” you include are likely very isolated and not commonplace. i would like to see you, with this big fancey blog that everyone surfs to, post something entirely positive and moving and get it out into Korea’s cyberworld. korean men have to realise that men are men…some are good and some are bad…but god help us not all of us are bad…even if most of us really like korean women. the world and the people in it are not perfect…but why do we have to latch on to a vicous cycle? hongdae is hongdae. its a club district. party people go there to do party people things. if a korean girl wants to go their and dance and get laid with a foreign guy, she should have that right, and vice versa. it takes two to tango. hongdae is hardly the epicenter of foreign culture and practice in korea. and the playboy is hardly the average english teacher. in fact he is a student at yonsei university and an american and has nothing to do with ESL. as for the playboy forum, there were very few active posters, and the ones that did post were living in a fantasy land. if it was true what they wrote, they wouldnt have had the time nor the need to write about it.

i love my girlfriend deeply and now she sits not quite next to me on the subway. i’m starting to think korea is not the place to be. let us pray! someone put out the damn fire or start it somewhere else! kim jung ill! fire a missile in the ocean or something please!

2. my frustration with expats who marry korean women is not focused on the woman, it?€™s focused on the man. do you understand there?€™s a difference? i don?€™t give one shit about korean women who marry white men or korean men who marry white women. believe me, i?€™m telling the truth, i just don?€™t give shit. good for her. but i just have to wonder how some of you can marry a korean when some of the things you say about them are just filthy. most of you look down on koreans and seem fixated on portraying the koreans in the most horrible of light. and then you marry them? man, that?€™s what i can?€™t get over. understand it like the article above about your collegues makes me understand a bit more about the expat. it?€™s too bad?€?

3. i thought i pointed out that i was changing the subject, mr orankay. i?€™ll be more clear in the future though i?€™m sure most understood what i wrote.

Well man, I’m glad i read that post. Now i understand a little better where your coming from. I don’t think your as full of hatered as some seem to think… I just think your “close” to it. Take out the words “most” from your quote and it sounds pretty damming. I really hope you don’t feel that mch anger towards people you have never met.
