Anonymous asked:
Are Korean Men attracted to African American Women?
First of all, as much as it is becoming a cliché, I think we can all agree each Korean man is unique and has unique taste in dating partners.
Also, what does it even mean to be attracted to African American women? Does it mean being attracted to EVERY African American woman? Does it mean being attracted to African American women MORE than women of other races? Or does it mean even being CAPABLE of being attracted to an African American woman? And what about black women who are not American?
I know some may not be satisfied with my seeming lack of answer. They will move back to searching with Google. Those pessimistic will stop when they reach an answer that claims Korean men are racist and say: “Aha, I knew it!” Those desperate for hope will find a success story and be content with knowing it can happen to them too.
You can search for the answer all you want, but the only truth is that there is no answer. And by that I don’t mean I don’t know the answer, I mean there really is none.
But I have a question for you now: Are tall European women attracted to shorter Asian men?
If Kimchi Man asked himself that, he would probably be discouraged and he wouldn’t waste his time with me.
Another question: Are men attracted to women who have larger feet than them?
Once again, if I let that stop me, I wouldn’t have experienced the magic of love.
Love can happen between any two people, and it has happened between Korean men and African American women; even though I’m sure there are some racist people in Korea who wouldn’t date a person of another race (in my experience there are too many racist people in every country).
As for the race issue, it also matters how you meet the guy. Kimchi Man and I first connected on an intellectual level: we discussed for a long time our opinions about taxation systems, education, military service, and shared our love for games and TV shows. Experiencing someone in such a way makes it much more likely to be able to look beyond the surface than if you pick a guy up in a bar or on the street.
I think there is nothing wrong with choosing a man because he is Korean, but if you go around looking for a dating prospect based on who he was born to be, instead of who he grew up to be, you can’t blame anyone but yourself if you end up only meeting men who do the same.

I totally agree!
I’m glad!
Completely agree with what you said about being pessimistic or optimistic. It’s easy for some people to just make big general statements like “Korean guys only like girls like this.” But of course every guy has different tastes and people often change their tastes depending on who they meet, they aren’t set in stone.
I know a Korean guy who has an African American girlfriend. In reality it really comes down to the individual’s personality.
You said that nicely. Do you think meeting more than just a few Koreans makes people more or less inclined to make generalized statements like that?
Very well said. ^^
Thank you!
우와! that was seriously the perfect answer :)
Thank you, you put a big smile on my face :)

Hi. I was wondering…How can I explain to my Korean BF to not be so affectionate in public without hurting his feelings? I recently started seeing this Korean guy, and he’s very sweet and such. The only problem is hes VERY affectionate in PUBLIC. Not like holding hands, but kissing my cheek, cuddling me, kissing me, etc. I personally would rather show affection in private, and in my backround its considered rude to show affection like that. (Cause no one would really like to see a couple acting like that next to them or in the same room…) What I mean is its uncomfortable to be talking to friends and having him constantly hug me and kiss me out of the blue infront of everyone. I appreciate the affection, but it gets uncomfortable with everyone staring at you. He’s sensitive and I want to find a way to tell him without hurting his feelings. Help? Thank you!!
I find your problem quite unusual as public displays of affection are a big no-no in Korea. Is he really Korean?
I myself don’t know how to criticize someone without hurting their feelings. I guess all you can do is attempt to explain to him that it has nothing to do with him personally but that it’s just your preference not to do it where other people can see.
I also think you should concentrate on how it makes you feel, not how you think it makes people around you feel. You don’t really know how other people feel, and it makes it sound like you think what he is doing is wrong. It’s not wrong, just different that what you’ve been taught is polite.
On the other hand, if he is interrupting you with kisses while you are talking to your friends, that is just inconsiderate, and not a personal preference.
I want to know:
I’ve seen answers for Europeans,African Americans,and others.what about if you’re pure black?would a Korean date a pure black?your answers are really helpful indeed,oegukeen.muchos love!
I’m not sure what you mean by pure black, but anyway, answer is always the same: Of course there are people in South Korea who would date someone of a certain race.
So well said! I am happy you didn’t give an answer, because who we fall in love with is not defined by race, although we may be attracted to a certain race or color of skin!^^ I hope every person can learn to follow their heart and find their own answer to love. It takes so much courage! Thanks for sharing such a nice post and such a nice message for black girls~
(I love what you said about Google! ㅋㅋ So true!)
