Why Dating Is Hard For Foreigners In Korea

Dating in Korea is a mixed bag. If they are not looking for a serious relationship with a foreigner, they are either trying to ride a "foreign horse" or get free English lessons/practice. You will typically know by the first few dates...

[@yj8641]

Pro: If you are in serious relationship, Korean men are very attentive, sweet, protective, take you great places, think/work hard to please you…. Con: most Korean couples text a lot everyday, call everyday, meet at least a few times a week. They are possessive and jealous. 1. Get to know each other/become friends 2. “ssum” 3. “confession” (commitment: do you want to be my boyfriend/girlfriend) 4. dating (without skinship for a while) 5. skinship (kiss, sex) 6. Meet parents only when you are ready to marry Good Korean men are reserved so they don't approach foreign women easily, except the red flag guys praying on women at clubs and apps. It’s best to become friends first and have “ssum” and commitment stage if you are a foreigner dating a Korean. (Don’t go to bed too quickly. He will ghost you surely 😅) “open relationships” is not common in Korea 😂 I think he means Korean gay community.

[@UnstableYT-u7k]

From what I’ve seen, Korean men make better boyfriends and husbands than their other ethnic counterparts because Korean men have been taught at a young age on discipline and loyalty. This is why foreign women are happier with a Korean man because they Korean men never cheat, they are loyal, financially successful, intelligent, more masculine, more romantic, more physically attractive, healthier, etc.. Women feel more secure with a Korean man. This explains why foreign women are flying over to South Korean to marry them.

[@Daniel-rv5ul]

It varies from case to case.

[@yj8641]

@@UnstableYT-u7k uhmm 🥲 good Korean men are great. They are everything you say. But there are also a lot of bad Korean men. If you are a foreigner and unfamiliar with the society, it’s easy to miss the red flag and can get the worst guy. Like the terrible ones in this video. I saw a tv program in which foreign girls who have fantasy about Korean men go directly from the airport to the club 😰 club is the worst place you can go to meet a decent guy. Finding a good Korean men at a club is hard like finding a gem in a trash can. Apps are the same.

[@UnstableYT-u7k]

I don’t agree about the red flags about Korean men. Sure there might be a few that have done what you said but that’s not the case for a lot of them. Korean men are perceived to be more humble and more honorable. They don’t treat women in any negative way. This is why Korean men have more success in relationships than other ethnicities.

[@Beepinboopinbopin]

As a Korean American who was only ever into non Asian men, the older I get, the more I realize I would rather date and marry another Korean American because no one else will understand my culture - which includes how I was raised. Growing up with immigrant parents, who were the children of veterans fighting for the survival of their own country had a huge impact that Americans who’s families have been here for generations will never understand.

[@user-rs3ki3sp6i]

In the same context, korean tends to date korean because of that reason. Even it is very difficult to understand each other among koreans nowadays. I dont know why that matters in this interviewer's videos. He merely seems to be inducing hatred on korean. If the rejection to culture differences is racism, no one in the world is innocent from that.

You can tell many people have a pretty strong idea of how other people are perceiving them based on their country or looks. They don’t realize that most people aren’t THAT preoccupied with thinking about other countries/races. Most people just are focused on themselves. Sure they may have some prejudice about certain foreign people, but they’re not as set in stone as one might think. It’s more seeking to confirm the prejudice they themselves have (or think others have about them)

[@400great7]

Men who approach first on the street or at restaurants are often men of poor quality. In Korea, most men generally do not approach women they do not know first.

Your interviews are so valuable. They are fascinating too see how self-absorbed people can be. White women think they are treated differently because of the movies.

[@nesadcruz7840]

Those who have travelled dont like what they have seen in certain western cultures. If a certain race has a prevalence of single mothers, young men in prison etc that isnt the kind of family they want to marry into. Frankly many Asians do generalise that about certain ethnic groups in the US and prefer to not have kids with those races.

I hope SK doesn't get too into dating apps like in the US and Canada...the country will tank. Save yourselves haha. The book "The Dating App Confessions" by Logan Tindell had some funny stories about dates from those apps.

Most Koreans don’t use apps. Some people use them for hook-ups and prostitution…. Relationships through apps are not considered normal in Korea. If a couple happen to become a couple through an app or on internet, they hide the fact because other people judge them negatively.
