"It's more about compatibility, not nationality" thank you for saying this

[fuckyuhhoes]

“It’s more about compatibility, not nationality”
So much respect for that sentence 😊

[yantingchong]

Perhaps you should do a video “do Korean men want to marry a foreigner?” as a follow up video.

I hate how they treat it as an “experience”. Like either you genuinely love the person or not. Dating someone you don’t actually feel romantically attracted to is sick to me.

I'm a Korean guy whos born and raised in Seoul, South Korea.

I still remember when I was about 16 or 17, There was one foreign girl named Maxine in my public high school.
She was a sweet white girl (you know.. quite typical American girl who is sweet, kind, pretty and has curvy figure) from Rhode Island, US.
Every students in my high were quite curious so they ran to her homeroom trying to talk to her in their broken English and body language every break time.
Luckily for me I once lived in UK for 7 years earlier in my childhood, so I had no problem communicating with her in English.
Since I was in the same classroom with her (we don't move to different classes everytime in Korean Secondary schools), I suddenly became an "Interpreter" that in need everytime those kids trying to deliver what they wanted to say.
So we naturally started to talk to each other and got quite friendly.

After that, Suddenly this question crossed my mind so one day I asked my parents, "Mother, Father, What would you say if I date and maybe marry a non-Korean girl in the future?".
They look quite surprised and quickly they started to emphasise their point in Korean-style Beating around the bush way, "Uhmm.. Son, well.. I know you what you mean sure sure I do unerstand
you are 17, maybe a fully grown man now but umm son still.. umm we want you to.. date .. yeah maybe dating alright but Maybe we want you to marry a Korean girl and have a Korean looking baby just like you and your future wife, just like your dad and myself".

for you who don't understand, that means they're fine with me *dating* a foreign girl but please don't *marry* a foreign girl.

So I planned to become a little rebellion to prove very clear point of mine to my parents that I am gonna live *MY LIFE* un-bothered by anyone.
Started to think how to ask Max out, Making some scenarios.
Next morning comes, I went to school, My heart was beating so fast concerning about my ass being rejected all the time...
In lunch break (I always ate lunch at the same table with her since she came), she asked me something with very nervous attitude that i can read from her face.
"So.... Seop? Do you maybe have a time this Saturday afternoon maybe? I am trying to go to River Han but I don't know how to go there.. I mean it is okey if you are busy I totally understand"
I said " Yes sure of course" right away. then she smiled big.
Later I noticed she was very tired waiting for me to ask her out first because apparently I was one hell of a senseless guy that had ignored all of her signs


And yes, After we became boyfriend and girlfriend, I introduced her to my parents.
They were super shocked and surprised, They were saying "Oh... You.. You guys are dating ohh haha what a lovely young couple in love haha"
However I can tell by their face that they were not that happy.
But soon after all, since I'd got asked out by one real fine young lady, so she changed all the stereotypes of foreign people in my parents head.
Later, Even my mom and dad asked me first "How's that cute American girl doing these days? You guys won't get back together anymore? not even a single chance? XD"


we had been together for like.. almost 3 years and then I broke up with her right after the highschool.
Because I decided to go to Military for 4 years ... professionally.. although she was crying and said she can wait for that.
I thought it would be the best for both of us at that time since she also needed to get back home in the US.. I still kinda regret that a bit XD.
Now I got discharged from the military not long ago, and recently found her on FB. she hasn't changed and she is in new love, damn she looked happy XD
So I left her a short message and she replied me back, we even did a little Facetime.
She was a bit teary but still she looks happy and thats it for me (I am not a guy that crosses the line)
I hope she would be happy and wishes may great luck follows her after all.

I seriously would hate being called "an experience". If a man would even mention that dating me is an experience in a conversation, that would be the end of the convo whatsoever.
If a man - Korean or any other nationality - says something like that, it just means he's not serious about you and it's better to save yourself a heartbreak later on and just let him go.
I don't care for any of that bullsh*t. Some people need to just grow up.

*me coming to Korea
want to find the love of my life and live a long life together loving each other

“It’ll be just a good experience”

[Maria-edjo]

“it would be a good experience” wtf they basically just wanna test us, gross.

[jpgenvx]

I‘m Korean but born and raised in Germany.
I‘ve been talking to my male cousins in Korea and one thing I have to tell y‘all is.
When they talk about dating “foreigners“they either think of Japanese, Chinese, Southeastern asian countries or blonde european girls tbh.
They are not that open-minded when it comes for example to a black girl

[emsfra]

I would definitely date an Asian man...

But not as an “experience”

that just makes me feel like something to try then move on to something else..

[yeonjun]

there’s a lot of girls who fetishize
asians particularly Korean men and Koreaboos they will just like Korean men because they are Korean they don’t care about them or anything they just like them because they are Korean but it is the other way around as well Korean guys just only want us foreigners is because they have this dream or ideal type for hooking up with a foreigner they don’t actually like us but they just wanna hook up with us so just like with Koreaboos they don’t really care for the guy to watch they just like him because he is solely Korean. I don’t speak for all Korean men but mostly Korean men think this way about us foreigners so please just be careful if you date a korean guy I don’t judge you can do whatever you want but just be careful. make sure he likes you for the right reasons not because you’re just a foreigner

[Blinked]

What Korean guys say: "I want to date a foreigner".

What "Korean guys mean: I want to date a white foreigner".

[mayb]

the thing is i hate that they think of us as test subjects like they said yeh its a once in a lifetime opportunity but why would you?so you can say you've dated a foreigner? its like were on there to do list

[del]

I'm a Korean man so I can give you my reasonable view. I'm a poor to English so I hope it could be readable for the eng speakers. Recent Korean men don't or can't marry foreign girls even Korean girls too since most young Korean bois and girls are facing economic problems and having a hopeless future due to the lack of job opportunity but also overworking and underpaying as same as global issues. We mostly decide not to marry and not to have a baby since we assume that our child will be another slave for money-many people. Not able to afford to raise a child if you have insufficient money in Korea. Well, You can actually raise a child but your dream, favorites, decent cars and everything that would be disappeared but your life demands you unlimited sacrifice and responsibility for your child. We are keen to marry!! but this is a reality and young people are being more protective and cautious than the previous generation. I think other cultures are facing similar problems.


Oh plus, some mates think that when Koreans think foreign people they just think of whites. An excuse tells that Korea is and was geographically, diplomatically and historically isolated from the world. We had not enough chance to see the people from other soils but we've seen you just through media, movies, and music. Those were mostly from US coming up Caucasians. So I think we are psychologically operated by media and western culture domination to think only whites. It's just my personal excuse. I honestly love you all who love my country no matter what colors you are.

"It would be a good experience"

Yeah, this is my line whenever I want to try a new job. A good experience. Dating a foreigner for them seems to be a training ground lol. Not speaking in general, but yeah it seems that most of them thinks like that.

[mialandaverde]

me: i think they mean foreign as in white, black, hispanic, etc.
them: *basically other asians* (filipino, chinese, japanese, etc.)

me: *cri*
