Ah Smufty, ok,

1. Korean woman will generally concern about the man first and not expect equal treatment in bed
2. Both are very passionate in bed
3. Korean women will try to look pretty for their man, Westerns not as much
4. Korean women expect to be pampered and not to pay for anything, western women are willing to dutch and even take care of the man, but of course even if a western woman says they want equality through equal paying of costs, they usually can be convinced to accept to be financially taken care of.
5. Korean women know that a man's strength comes from controlled silence, but western women don't see it as such and thus would mistake that for being passive, when in fact they are very nearly close to death but don't realize it as such.
6. Both will nag you to death
7. Western women wont' have as high of material expectations and don't need to be as pampered, but if you do pamper them they will quickly take it for granted. For a Korean girl, they will know that they are lucky and will protect you from all other women and even friends until you are married.
8. There are both the crazy and dramatic type (high maintenance on both ends), but the Korean woman will stop if the man gets angry enough, but the western will not or push it further.
9. Korean women are more likely to stalk you after breaking up, I'd say about 100% more chance as they tend to think of you as their possession as well.
10. Korean women will very intensely passionate immediately as soon as they decide you are their man, there is no first, second, third base if they feel you are there man; so many less sexual and relationship hang ups, but Westerns in general tend to have more hang ups and are more conservative in love making (but perhaps more animalistic and savage though)

But for the most part, if you were to compare Korean women to western women, out of all the Asian women, i would say that Korean women are the most similar in temperament in their passion and aggressiveness. To be honestly, I think Korean women make the perfect lovers and wives, and general companions, but they will treat you like a possession as well. Cross them and they will have their revenge.

What I like about western women though is they can truly be honest loving women who's independence allows them to be lovers as well as friends. I can't say that many Korean men are friends with their Korean lovers/wives.

What is your opinion on sleeping around with different girls? At what point does it become too much, or is there never enough?

oh wtheck didnt know why it posted like that.. strange~ agree with the nunchi comes from background (how one gets exposed to things in life)

anywho...from ur previous blog..

Now I had a lot of stress about this, so much so, that me and Rekrul and 'one who will not be named'(basically this other guy who is a little turd) go for a night walk, now I don't expect to walk that far, but I'm nervous about the next day when I meet Megan's dad. Basically i had been practicing my speech all week long what I would say etc and we end up walking about 15 miles or so

Not related to specifically being a Korean Man, but I have to ask -- how did you find out what your passion is in life, career-wise?

if a korean man gets told he is incapable of doing something in his own land by a white man he will go to any lengths to prove the white man wrong, whether or not his shins are broken

In Korea, the same girls sleep around with everyone, and then there are lots of virgins out there who wait for Mr. right.

If you sleep with lots of women who like to be sexually active, just use protection and be save and enjoy yourself because some people are just wired that way and need to have and enjoy new sexual partners.

If you're going around seducing nice girls and then leaving them, don't do that, you're not going to go to hell, but you're going to regret it one day and then spend you entire life trying to make it up and eventually have 3 daughters who are going to remind you what kind of douche bag you were.

But for me personally, I was never into the one night stand thing; although I for most of my youth I was envious of those guys who did sleep with many women, but even when I had the opportunity, it just wasn't me.

Once I dated a girl who I thought was a nymphomaniac, but in actually she really enjoyed having one night stands but since she was going out with me and I was very clear that her adventures were over, we ended up having sex twice a day every day for about a couple years (sounds impossible but true), so after developing back problems I realized that she simply is wired a bit different and she see sex differently than me. We broke up and she promptly slept with three or four guys by the next time I spoke to her the week after.

So, my point is, if you are wired that way and enjoy it and sex is not some dominating perverse thing for you, then enjoy it! gogo!

He is not yet a man yet, and spent too much time caring what white people thought of him.
A Korean man wouldn't bother to spend that much time and effort to compare based on white American criteria.

We are Korean, we are men, this statement in of itself is enough.
What does it matter if someone says otherwise or disagrees?

Just insecurities and a Korean who has become a man, has no insecurities.

Because you do it from force of will, rather than structuring your environment to force you to stay committed. To do things via your will power alone is a feat no man can do for long.

For example: studying on a scholarship or not; doing athletics on a championship team or just a random club team; visiting new countries and meeting new people there or at the university pub.

Structure you environment that it also provides challenge and commitments that cannot be broken and you will never procrastinate again in the context you provided.

If you ask, I am you hyung and I will answer.

Probably the first thing is:
what are you actually really good at, talented at;

When you're young, you simply have no clue as the education system tries to give everyone the basic skills, but when you get to university, for most of us, with the freedom and protection we get to try new things and have a lot of time for reflection and the ability to not be committed; well you really get to know what you like doing.

But what you like doing is not the same as what you really good at; but it points that way.

I studied political philosophy and English lit in university, but I started off as chem major. Its not that I hated chem, I liked it, but I was such a rebel, I was famous because I was the only undergrad in the chem program to miss handing in a lab report (I had gotten A, Aplus up that point and I did the caculatino on it that even if I got zero on this lab report I'd still get a B in the labs section), I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHY I THOUGHT LIKE THAT, but I think it was because everyone was so crazy about making these 15 page lab reports and I had already bucked the trend with 2 page lab reports that I felt I should go all the way. Needless to say, getting a B in your major as a specialist is not good; so I switched to political philosophy and English lit.

Now I applied for law school, but didn't' study for my LSAT, when to do my masters in theology, but didn't graduate and all the while I continued to play rugby.

While I was very much into academia and enjoyed a theoretical approach to many things, on the pitch I was mindless barbarian and I was a very good rugby player; but when asked to explain how to tackle, I could be very technical and provide a theory about it.

So, in the end, chemistry, theology, political theory were all too abstract for me, I needed to do something that applied theory in a dramatic and clear way... and business strategy became my calling and I was naturally quite good at it.

For me, it was a long and frustrating journey, by the time I realized this I was already 25. And when I did start my business studies, I was such a fish out of water, I didn't know what IPO, M&A or even what stock really was, but after the initial learning curve, I just took off and became the best student in the program after a so/so first semester.

Nut shell, look at what you like and it may point to what you are good at, realize that, and you may find the right career choice, but clearly in my case, it was not a conscious or calculated move, I endure much frustration even after I knew I wanted to do business strategy.

if a korean man gets told he is incapable of doing something in his own land by a white man he will go to any lengths to prove the white man wrong, whether or not his shins are broken


NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL STORY INVOLVING REKRUL, THERE ARE NO GIRLS, ALCOHOL OR MONSTERING OF ANY KIND, IT IS A BORING ASS STORY, BY REQUEST.

About 2 week before I cracked my ankle in a rugby game, it was to be my last rugby game ever as the crack was quite severe and eventually turned into traumatic degenerative arthritis a few months after, primary because of this 15 mile walk.

Basically Rekrul, me, Elky, Giyom, Smuft and 'Pussyboy' all lived together at a new big apartment at Nambu terminal. At the time, I had an ok relationship with 'pussyboy' but later on I basically wanted to beat the shit out of his no manner low class ass every day, but couldn't because the boys were 'pussyboy's friend and they wouldn't allow me to. But in anycase, Rek and pussyboy do this thing called the 'nightwalk' where they leave the apartment at like 10 or 11pm or so and just walk around Seoul at night during a weekday.

So I'm stressed as fuck about my meeting with my potential father-in-law so I say I'm gonna join them, but I'm dressed not for walking, I'm dressed nicely with dress shoes and slacks, cause I thought I'll 'night walk' with these guys for a bit, then maybe we'll get some drinks after 20 mins or so, but I was wrong.

These two numbnuts have this path that they follow and it takes them across Hannam Bridge, so basically we're at the most bottom part of Seoul, and they walk a minimum to the center of Seoul, straight north. So we're walking and walking and I'm totally not fit for walking as I just recently stopped having to use a crutch and I'm wearing dress shoes. And Rek says to me, are you ok, you can go back or take a taxi you know? And because he says this, I tell him, I'm a man, I'm fine, lets keep going. And so we finally make it to Hannam bridge and I'm like, ok, lets take a taxi back now. And the numbnuts are like, no we're gonna keep going, but you can take a taxi back.

And I'm like, fuck that, ok, lets go.
So we walk north these guys have no idea where we are because they haven't ever been North of Gangnam across the bridge, but we end up walking East for some reason and now I recognize where we are, if we continue to go North from here, we will make it to Korea university, my old university and I know the way from here.

At this point my feet are crushed and I have blisters and I start limping badly now and Rek says, you can go back you know, here I'll wave you down a taxi, and I say, fuck that, lets go, I'm a man or I'm Korean, I can't remember which one I said, but it means the same thing. So we walk all the fucking way to Korean university.

I can't fucking believe it that I was idiotic enough to do this and we end up going to the middle of the campus and sit around some big statues and talk about life, love and everything else under the sun.

Now its like 4:30, and I'm like, man we need to get back now. And they are like, ok, lets start walking back and I'm like, FUCK THAT, we are taking the taxi home! There is a limit of being a man and going the distance and being a fucking retard, we had crossed that line and thus ends the story of the night walk which made me walk up late to meet my future father in-law and made me a cripple. In this case, I was actually not yet become a full man in that I let my pride force my decision when there where 2 young punks around me. -.-

man i love reading this stuff.. but i can't think of any suitable questions for his mightyness.. But most stuff thats screwed up with me i already figured out the answers to by myself, but am just to lazy to get off my butt x)

Still, good to know there's a place to ask with a guy i trust to give a proper answer. It's so awesome reading all the replies and not finding anything where i feel like "come on, thats bs". The stuff i think i have some clue of is just right, and the stuff i don't have a clue of still seems sound and good. It's a real joy to read this.

Once i find a suitable question, i shall post it!
