Unusual thing about dating Korean men is that it brings two sets of stereotypes that are completely opposing and mutually exclusive. I must admit that there is rarely a thing that can throw me off balance as much as prejudices. But this conflict of stereotypes about Korean men is so ironic it does nothing more than bring a smile of contempt to my face.</p>
  190. <p>On one hand, there is the stereotype of Asian man as a little emasculated guy that no woman in her right mind could find attractive. On the other hand, droves of screaming Hallyu fans bring about the prejudice that if you are dating a Korean guy it must be because of the twisted perception of a perfect Korean guy painted in dramas.</p>
  191. <p>So, I have a choice between being an asexual woman who only cares about guy’s personality or a crazed fan that doesn’t care about guy’s personality at all, as long as he is Korean? I would like to put those two groups of people in the same room so they can have a talk.</p>
  192. <p>Let me pause here and say that there is nothing wrong with falling for a guy because of fantasy you have, whether it comes from Korean drama, K-pop or somewhere else. Is it in any way less shallow to say you like tall guys, or blue-eyed guys, than to say you like Korean guys? Enter a room full of people and you will instantly be attracted to some while others won’t even register on your radar. Who is so self-aware to know exactly why they are attracted to someone?</p>
  193. <p>However, I am glad that in my case I have never even heard of K-pop or Korean drama before I met Kimchi Man, just so I can rub it in the face of anyone who dares confront me with those prejudices.</p>
  194. <p>I must admit that in my life, those prejudices come from online world. Offline I still haven’t encountered anyone who told me something like that. I don’t know if that is because they are not aware of the stereotypes, or just don’t dare say it to my face. I live in an almost exclusively white European country where other races are a rare treat. No one I know has heard of K-pop. No one heard the “Asians are bad drivers” stereotype (and I intend to keep it that way as long as my father is letting Kimchi Man drive his new car ^^). Not that I think Europe is less racist than America, it’s probably just more covert when races are not living side by side.</p>
  195. <p>So why did I choose a Korean man? Only thing I knew about Korea when we met is that they have efficient car factories, because my geography teacher had mentioned that incessantly. Who knows, maybe that’s why I was attracted to a Korean man? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif?m=1129645325g' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  All I know is that it doesn’t matter why you are initially attracted to someone, what matters is the relationship it blossoms into. And that should only matter to the couple in the relationship. It certainly shouldn’t matter to random strangers.</p>

Love is love and there will never be an answer to the question &#8220;why&#8221;. That&#8217;s why discussing love with a Korean man is just the same as discussing love with any kind of men. I think there are good and bad guys everywhere; Korean men are no exception. What is posted here is most of the time to read for fun, not for advice. Thanks Oegukeen for sharing.</p>

  283.                         <div class="comment-content"><p>Good article Oegukeen!  There are some interesting points here but I think you&#8217;re missing a few things.  Those asian stereotypes that you&#8217;re hearing (and from whom?) seem pretty outdated to me, I think they&#8217;ve been getting some great PR for the last 10, 20 years.  You mention the internet and there is certainly a lot of prejudice that you&#8217;ll find online not just about people of ALL races, but of religion, ideals, skin color, etc., etc.  All my friends are into Korean guys and I live in Bloomington, Indiana so it&#8217;s not really a hotbed of open-mindedness.  I&#8217;m not sure about personality but they are certainly a lot easier on the eyes than plenty of other guys.  I think KPOP has certainly given them way too much limelight and I agree with you that most Korean guys aren&#8217;t like that.  Here&#8217;s how a friend described her two cents on this subject:</p>
  284. <p>1. Korean guys in thick glasses, tucked in dress shirts, and looking generally nerdy are, well, not very attractive.</p>
  285. <p>2. Korean guys with earrings, accessories, tattoos, and and a decent wardrobe can be very attractive.</p>
  286. <p>And if you think Korean guys are asexual, honey you NEED to go to South Korea.  It&#8217;s not Japan and it&#8217;s not China, they&#8217;re definitely not that shy over there.</p>

  306.                         <div class="comment-content"><p>Excellent post,  I&#8217;m half-Korean and I live in NYC.  I used to get excited whenever I saw an Asian guy on a billboard over here but now I just shrug because it&#8217;s become a lot more common.  The prejudice that you see online is usually from insecure white guys who don&#8217;t like other races dating white women or insecure asian guys clamoring about how white women don&#8217;t date asian guys.  I wouldn&#8217;t be sitting here typing this if that were the truth.  On the flipside, my dad is definitely not like anything that you&#8217;ll see in a Korean drama. I wouldn&#8217;t be sitting here typing this if that were the truth. I hope whomever wrote this article realizes that a Korean guy is a guy first and Korean second.</p>

I was just pointing out two stereotypes, both of which are so &#8220;ironic it does nothing more than bring a smile of contempt to my face.&#8221; That means I disagree with both of them.</p>
  327. <p>I am glad you see some positive change, but fact remains that Asian man &#8211; non Asian woman are many times rarer combination than Asian woman &#8211; non-Asian man. Don&#8217;t take my word for it, check out the statistics for marriages in the USA. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage_in_the_United_States#Census_Bureau_statistics" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage_in_the_United_States#Census_Bureau_statistics</a></p>
  328. <p>As far as realizing that a Korean guy is a guy first and Korean second, did you seriously not understand that I was being ironic when I said I maybe fell for a Korean guy because Koreans have efficient car factories???</p>
  329. <p>Maybe you have some prejudices of your own about women who date Korean men.</p>
  330. <p>P.S. When you say &#8220;over here&#8221; I assume you mean the USA. Don&#8217;t forget that not everyone lives in the USA (I am in Europe) and that USA has much higher interracial mixing than any European country. </p>

  350.                         <div class="comment-content"><p>I didn&#8217;t mean to offend at all.  My mother is German and my father is Korean so I certainly don&#8217;t have any prejudices against non-asian women who are dating asian men.  I understand the irony, I just agreed with the poster because I believe that the whole &#8220;little emasculated asexual&#8221; stereotype is pretty much a thing of the past.  Some of my friends who had notions of these stereotypes were shocked when they studied abroad over there so I have a lot of views that connect with that post.  My sister, for example, swore off all asian guys and only wanted to date Italian men until she spent one semester in Florence and another in Seoul &#8211; she is now dating a Korean guy.  I think that what you&#8217;re getting at is an interesting juxtaposition of stereotypes that meet in the middle, that Korean guys, somehow, are viewed as very desirable and yet somehow, not that desirable at the same time. I&#8217;m also aware that asian guys date non-asian girls a lot less than the other way around.  My folks always tell the story of how dad was nearly disowned time and time again because he didn&#8217;t marry an asian girl.  I also think a lot of asian guys prefer asian girls more often than the other way around. It&#8217;s probably different for American born asians, and, looking at the rates of the link that you provided me, you can see that the marriage gap between genders when it comes to asian-americans isn&#8217;t as large of a gap as it is between all asians in the U.S. I am currently dating an asian girl, although, like my dad who had a preference for Korean girls, I am open to dating anyone and might just follow in his footsteps and end up with a non-asian girl.  I thought that this was a good topic and it&#8217;s something that I&#8217;ve always thought about because of my parents.  Again, I didn&#8217;t mean to attack this article, as a matter of fact, I thought it was really well-written and thought out.  I found this website because through my sister and there are some great points in it, I just have a lot of experiences with this subject so I just wanted to add my two cents  <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

  398. <p>I already wrote some of my opinions in the other reply, but I would just like to say I would find guy #1 more attractive than guy #2. It all depends on the taste, and I really don&#8217;t like tattoos. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
  399. <p>Also, I don&#8217;t understand why you pointed out that Korean guys in South Korea are not asexual. I&#8217;m dating one, don&#8217;t you think I noticed? ^^ I was referring to stereotype about women who are dating Asian men. Maybe that&#8217;s what you misunderstood?</p>

I am sure a lot of girls are basically in love with the idea of the perfect Korean guy you can see in dramas. Some reality check would be nice to have, I am sure most Korean guys are not Kim Jaejoongs or Won Bins and would be nice to know what Korean guys are really like. I heard that it is very rare chence for non-asian women to be considered by a Korean guy because the most important for them in a marriage is social background, education and being Korean. is this true?</p>

  551.                         <div class="comment-content"><p>Yes, something similar was on my mind for a long time. Since I have only seen one Korean drama I tried to get a general opinion about Korean men from a forum, but people there didn&#8217;t seem to understand my intentions.</p>
  552. <p>Also, I believe negative stereotypes are far worse than positive ones so I would like to get those out of the way first. While it is good for mature adults to know reality, I see no harm for boys and girls to daydream and idealize. It&#8217;s a normal part of growing up.</p>
  553. <p>It is impossible just from personal experience to say what is rare and what is not. To my knowledge, there hasn&#8217;t been a poll in recent years asking Korean men how they feel about marrying non-Korean women. Korean men I know don&#8217;t care if she is Korean or not.</p>
  554. <p>I believe scientist found that in the majority of cases we are more likely to be in a relationship with someone from same socio-economic and educational level. That goes for all societies, not just Korean.</p>

It&#8217;s been so interesting to see some of the questions people ask too. I admit that I&#8217;ve come to find several Korean men attractive, but I don&#8217;t harbor any illusions that they are anything like the fictional depictions of them in Kpop and Kdramas (don&#8217;t mind occasionally daydreaming about it though, haha.). I accept the fact that I&#8217;m probably going to fall in love with physical appearances first in the majority of instances, but I feel no need to be with a guy simply because he is Korean. Anyway, whenever I visit Korea it&#8217;s not going to be for the men or the music&#8230; It&#8217;s totally going to be for the food. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
