Any other guys find Korean nightlife and women a bit frustrating?

[BachataHeights]

Besides the "submissive" comment you've now erased, another thing that I think may have bothered a lot of posters on Waygook is your comment about Western guys only getting ugly Korean women.  There are a lot of guys on this board who are in serious relationships with/married to Korean women.  You're obviously entitled to your opinions about others' attractiveness, but that sort of sweeping generalization about the partners of many long-time posters here is not going to make people happy.

Generalizations are not meant to be taken literal. As i'm sure and know for a fact that there is Western guys with attractive Korean girlfriends. From my experience most Western guys are dating ugly Korean girls. Note the distinction between most and all. I really hope guys are not that sensitive and insecure..... lol

Yeah, I'm in Seoul. Our experiences are very different! I often see normal-looking or nerdy-looking Western guys with above-avg-looking Korean women. Almost always the case. It's nice to see that happening, too. I believe you, but it's still hard to believe that Busan is that different from Seoul.

Yea, from what you wrote I knew you had to be talking about Seoul.

I underestimated just how different Seoul was to the rest of Korea.

I figured Busan being as large as it was wouldnt be far off but that appears to be the wrong assumption.

Ehhh, this is definitely what I see in Daegu as well.

I dont know what the OP is talking. Ive never had any trouble finding girls that are good looking and interested in this country. If you're looking for a one night thing, that's not very common but It's happened. If you're looking to be respectful and fun then you should not have a problem finding an attractice woman that will be interested in you. It wouldnt hurt if you learned some Korean too to break the ice and not put all the pressure on them for communication in the relationship.

I hope this thread gets deleted.
People go to clubs here to hang out with their friends and dance. Go to a nightclub and do some booking (good luck)....different culture different technique.

People don't go to clubs in the States and other parts of the world to hangout with their friends and dance?
They do.
Just like im sure there are Korean guys that like to go out to clubs to hangout with their friends, dance AND meet women.
Only difference is the scope.
This thread is good in that it points out how the Korean culture is different from other parts of the world.

Your original question simply wants people to admit they find Korean women and Korean nightlife frustrating because it's not so easy to pick up girls here because of cultural differences.
I will admit people do go to clubs to also meet dates and such in most countries, but here there there are two specific types of clubs, people go to booking clubs here when they are leaning towards getting a date, so there are less people with that primary mindset in other clubs.
Now please admit you are trolling. You have a small amount of posts and they seem to be centered around this inappropriate flame thread. It seems you created an account for the sole purpose of discussing partying and picking up girls in Korea, I'm sure you will be a valued contributor if the trend continues.
This thread has very little in the ways of useful information for living in Korea. We really don't need a guide outlining how to score Korean girls, or the differences between scoring Korean girls vs. Western girls. We don't need information on the types of Korea girls who date westerners either. There are already threads on dating and nightlife in Korea. We don't need to combine the worst of both, express frustration in not being able to get a nice and easy lay, and reinforce stereotypes while we are at it.

Flame thread lmao 

I glad you think you speak for everyone in what they "need" and are the authority on what is deemed "useful" info  ::)

Cheers buddy

The following post is to be read in the style of Mr. Plinkett



I aint no "master of hollerin'" but I've been to a few cheap clubs back home and a "nice?" one in Tokyo (I was told it was nice... looked like a dingy basement full of Star Trek Styrofoam boulders to me). Haven't seen clubs in Korea but I have the feeling they're completely Korea unique (read: exactly the same).

I mean you can't hear anyone regardless of what language they speak. It's dark as shit. Alcohol is super pricey. Now, maybe it's because I hate women (read: no I don't) but I almost can't see any reason to go to clubs other then the remote hope you might meet one there. And since I don't have that on the table I can't figure out any reason to go. Maybe I'm too old and curmudgeonly. Damn kids these days with their comp-apples and their world-wide-web-cyborg-telephones.

Oh, caveat: Glowsticks are apparently still in. They'll notice you. Playing it right is up to you though. You will either come off as lighthearted and charming or immature and inexperienced.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "booking club"? Sounds dodgy.

[BachataHeights]

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "booking club"? Sounds dodgy.

A place where men go to enjoy the company of women and where women go to have money spent on them.

Think a sit down lounge where your waiter brings over girls to sit and talk to you and you as the male are suppose to buy the girls drinks ect.

Thats pretty much the jist of that

They aren't my cup of tea but I wouldn't call them dodgy.  I think it's good for people who are too shy to actually approach a woman.

I wouldn't be surprised if many Korean women, just as Western women, are concerned about being used as an interactive fleshlight for a night rather than as a person. Speaking solely (hehe, Seoul-ly) from my experience talking to Korean friends, they are more wary and skeptical of the one night stand brand of sexual activity than people are back home.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Korean women (and foreign women) in major cities have been turned off of being used as sperm receptacles every time they go out for a night with friends.

I def found Koreans to be less sexually liberated / open than back home and in other parts of the world.

Take a girl on a date once or twice and your golden.

Meet her at the club that night...not so much lol

I would disagree.  I think they are pretty much the same as western women, meaning you can't generalize.  I've had a lot of women approach me for one night stands.  Actually I was told that Korean women will be more aggressive toward a foreigner for this very reason.  The reasoning is because they either want the experience with a western man or they are curious about some rumors.  Many want to have the experience with a western guy before they settle down.  This was told to me by at least 4 different Korean women.

At the same time, of course there are tons of maybe more classy women who would never entertain the idea of a one night stand/purely sexual relationship.

I think you are confusing Thailand with South Korea lmao

I have a really hard time believing Korean girls approached you for a one night stand.

Tell me you where at a sleezy club in Itaweon and it would make it 30% believable

[Frozencat99]

I've had many Korean women approach me to be friends or to get drunk and leave together. I've also had Koreans hit on me because I look like a young Bill Gates (lmao?)... so on that front, I sort of feel bad generalizing.

Then I remember that experiences in Seoul, especially Itaewon and Hongdae, are so different from the rest of the country that it isn't very problematic. I've had a woman chat with me, I bought her a drink, and we changed numbers to talk more in town. I would have been wearing the drink if I dropped a line about how the "rumours are true".

I'm much more concerned about my sexual relations and actions in this country, though. If people feel safe doing such things, they're a) free to feel that way and b) 99% likely to be in a bigger town than I am. If I had sex with anyone, the entire town would know. I mean, I started doing yoga this month and the lady at Family Mart asked me about it.  ???

[lotte world]

No I left Korea around February.

And where are you now?

Just returned to the states after taking a mini 2 month vacation in South America
