Now this was just so wrong and culturally biased. To imply that Asian woman require flowers and fancy cars to get them into bed is absurd. Asian women hate money and high-end bling. All you need to do is tell them that you work for a good American company. It is to laugh….
funny thing is, I have no money, no high-level position, don’t drink, smoke, spit, chew, or play cards–and I’m close to 300 pounds with gray hair–and I had no trouble “back in the day”…
I am a white girl and was turned off by the white guy asian chicks post. I feel sorry for any poor guy who takes advice like this. Its about love and respect. No matter what race you are. LOVE AND RESPECT. Just be who you are and don’t play games…Be considerate and listen to what the other person is saying. You have to have self worth. It’s not something teenagers can do…
Yes, in the end he basically tells this guy Tim that he’s been pulling his chain. That women are women everywhere and what you should give them is “LOVE AND RESPECT”.
“Tim” was a total strawman made up for the sake of this guy’s rambling blogpost. That argument was as transparently made up as his boasts about dating a virtual rainbow of women.
#12 With Korean chicks (don’t know about gyopos) most only care about economic ability of the man. Look at all those who didn’t “stand by their man” during the so called IMF period.
Met very few that aren’t like this. This isn’t to say it’s true for all of them.
Love and respect come next…maybe. I don’t know what it’s like for lesbians though.
“The most important thing in his pants is his pants is his wallet.” Have heard this from some girls here, with complete seriousness. Back home this would drop one’s jaw and the speaker would be labeled a selfish bitch.
I could tell countless stories about girls being wired to be gold-diggers. (No pawi, I’m not disparaging the girls that keep me here. I’m disparaging the girls that I’m NOT here for, I avoid them.) Maybe it’s because in their mother’s time, when Korea was poor, marrying up was more reasonable.
@1 An effective alternative to telling the girl that you work for a big American company is to tell her that you work at Saemsung. That one works, I’m sure.
This guy’s xanga post was funny, but I don’t think controversial enough to get 100 posts here… if only it were written by a white guy, even better a white expat.
Very funny post with an undercurrent of truth. Is anyone actually surprised that both genders act for their own self-interest? “LOVE AND RESPECT” are not precluded by it. Welcome to reality.
I recommend finding a Korean girl with a boyfriend. Preferably a small/short boyfriend. I then recommend kicking the living crap out of the boyfriend, then stealing his girl, caveman style.
I think the different thing about Korea is the sensitivity to every gradation of class. In America, to be able to rely on your financial status to get women you have to be in the upper class. Not even an impoverished American beauty will be that impressed by an upper-middle class man unless he brings a little game to the table (or the bed). Whereas here a girl will ditch the charming Avante driver for the boring Grandeur driver, so to speak.

I like Dave Matthews.
I like Dave Matthews.
You are not going to score with that kind of attitude…..
A pretty weak offering, and he’s pushing some awful crap music for someone who disses Dave Matthews.
#4, What he pushes actually is true, though…visit Honk Kong or Thailand and knowing those songs will get you in the good books for many.
go to the comments section and click on the link posted by one of the readers (winston). d-o-u-c-h-e b-a-g but fun read.
LOL…Winston Wu is everywhere apparently. Now in the Philippines after having his ass handed to him in Russia.
#4 - Yeah, it’s crap music, but still a few steps up from Dave Matthews. Fact is, the only music worse than Dave Matthews is Hootie and the Blowfish.
funny thing is, I have no money, no high-level position, don’t drink, smoke, spit, chew, or play cards–and I’m close to 300 pounds with gray hair–and I had no trouble “back in the day”…
Maybe just being a nice guy does work at times…
Oh, and I don’t like Dave Matthews muzak either…
He’s perpetuating racist stereotypes against multi-ethnic relationships and marriages.
And the Pope is Catholic. I am shocked and outraged on both counts.

You didn’t make it to the end of the column, eh Vicki?

#12. If you are looking for thoughtful serious commentary I would suggest you look elsewhere.

But that’s true for Korean men too, Steve. If they are in decent jobs themselves, the income level of the woman’s household is decisive.
Soju kettles and yakimandu work better than flowers and candy every time.

I gotta agree with #17 here…
Well, that’ll teach me. I got so ticked off I didn’t read it all…

I guarantee this will work
#24. No!!! If you do that you create another Pawi. Expat already has a bad name around here.

#24.
If a boyfriend of a certain Korean girl is short, I doubt the Korean girl will be worth fighting over.
#26 You know, in the United States upper middle class is nothing to sneeze at. If I were a golddigger, that wouldn’t be a bad place to start…
