Korean ladies are especially known for their cute faces, long legs, and amazing physiques. Also, with the trend of learning English amongst Koreans, these girls tend to be well traveled and are more adept at surviving in a whole different culture than the one they were raised in to. Sounds good, right? But, how open are these Korean ladies when it comes to dating men outside their culture? Even in the west, the US or in Europe, these women tend to marry someone from their home country despite the fact that they are residing elsewhere. So here is an insight as to their degree of openness to dating foreign men thus allowing you to gauge your chances in actually catching a Korean girl to be your loving partner.

 

Korean ladies are not used to being approached by strangers and asked for phone numbers.

In the Korean dating culture, men and women usually meet through a network of common friends. Unlike in the west where it is common place to approach simply a lady you find attractive, say, in a coffee shop and ask for her phone number. So most of the time, Koreans meet their significant other through a friend or an acquaintance and pick it up from there. This can prove a bit of a challenge for a foreign man to meet potential dates as the majority of the girls in Korea would not even talk to you unless introduced by a common friend.

 

Korean parents are a bit apprehensive with their children dating foreign men.

Believe it or not, arranged marriages are still existent in Korea. Especially with the affluent families who tend to arrange their children to marry the children of their business partner. That being said, most Korean parents are still not open to interracial dating or marriages. But you might be in luck if the Korean lady you happen to be dating is one that has been sent to different countries to study English. That is simply because Korean parents who allow their children to go abroad for studies are usually more open to a western man dating their daughter than those who don’t.

 

Language will always be a key factor.

It is true that the Koreans have given priority to learning English since the economic rise and since they realized that the key to globalization is the grasp of the English language. Given that English is already integrated into its basic education curriculum, as well as the number of hours spent by both students and parents in after supplemental school programs, English, will always be a second language to these Korean ladies. And with this, there will always be something lost in translation that can lead to certain misunderstandings and would most likely add tension to the relationship. As a foreign man, you will still need to learn the Korean language even if your partner is fluent and well adept with the English language because the older generations may not be inclined to learn English. Besides, you are the one who should adjust to the parents since you are the one who wishes to marry their daughter.

 

So these are just some of the factors that usually determine if a particular Korean lady is open to interracial relationships or not. There will always be those ladies who are more open than most, but these things should help you gauge if the lady you are eyeing will be accommodating to a foreign guy like you or if you should just throw in the towel and move on to the next opportunity.
