How to get a Korean guy to like you

How to get a Korean guy to like youHow to get a Korean guy to like you and how to make him fall in love with you are some of the most common search terms that bring people to our site. We’ve addressed how to tell if a Korean guy likes you, but haven’t given an answer on how to get him to feel this way.

I’m going to start off with the boring and generic (but true!) answer, and then quickly move on to something much more important. So here it goes: Korean men are not so strongly influenced by their culture that they would have some collective preference to women. Korean guys love all kinds of different women (and men).

Now the important part.

I believe there are two types of readers reading this. First are those who think it’s a silly question that has no real answer, and second type are those who really want a concrete answer and not some vague “we are all special and unique” nonsense.

I’m more inclined to side with the first group. But I also know it’s easy for me to judge and pretend I’m above asking such questions when I am on the other side of the river of love, firmly holding my beloved man.

The truth is, I also was worried when I first fell in love with Kimchi Man. I was worried he might misunderstand the type of person I am because of different cultural context. Take, for example, modesty. South Korea and Europe appear to have different sets of standards and I was worried Kimchi Man might condemn the clothes I wear. We all walk half-naked around here in the summer and he’s never worn a pair of short pants in his life.

And yes, I knew that no man has the right to judge me for the clothes I wear, blah, blah, but all I could think of was that I just really really want him to like me. Another example is the attitude towards school. I wanted Kimchi Man to know I was really hard working and a good student, but how can 6-7 hours a day I spent in school compare to Koreans who spend all day long locked up in there, only to study into the wee hours of the night?

So, while I can honestly say that, now that I’ve been through it all and got to know Koreans better, there is absolutely nothing that would make all Korean guys like a woman, it doesn’t really worry me that so many women ask me that shallow question.

What worries me is the problem that is much deeper and more sinister. The questions we get are always asking if she might not have a chance with Korean guy because she’s heavy or black or doesn’t act cute or has curly hair… Ok. Fine.

But how come no woman is worried that she’s not educated or interesting or funny enough? Girls, you have to give Korean guys more credit. Beautiful women may be hard to resist, but beauty stops being a novelty after a while, and even more quickly if one is boring, mean or dim. I’m sure you can think back to some handsome guy or an actor who suddenly wasn’t so handsome after all, as soon as he displayed an ugly personality?

So if you want to do something to get a Korean guy to really like you, get a higher degree, work on your grades, try to be a kinder person, be interested in things so you can be interesting in a conversation, be trustworthy… In short, seduce him with your brain.

And the modesty thing from the beginning? He never asked me to change the way I dress, and as we both discovered, he has a pair of really nice legs that look great in shorts. :)

    what a bunch of bollocks. this whole article and the comments. korean men care about how good you keep a house, how good you are with money, don’t want you to work, tell you what to wear,what to eat…their only concern is how good you take care of them. your likes, needs do not matter nor do they care. It’s not about what you want but about what they decide you need in their eyes. western women are NOT used to this. im married 10 years to a man from Korea. i am from the US. While i am grateful that he is more “evolved” i watch my brother in law treat his wife as second, his cousins treat their wives/ girlfriends like this, as well as korean friends they have. All men from Korea. Not to mention they are judgmental as all get out. as a western woman it is very uncomfortable to be around. Makes me want to scream. and I’m pretty old fashioned by American standards.

      So, let me get this straight: You know two Korean men well, and from this you conclude that you know exactly what 25 million Korean men are like?

      I’ve been in a relationship with Korean man for more than 3 years, and he is nothing what you talk about. I am interested only in my career, I couldn’t care less about cleaning and cooking and I almost never do it as I don’t have time for it. Actually, he loves to cook for me, and splitting the house chores was a given for both of us.

      He has been with me through thick and thin and putting my needs before his is exactly why I love him so much and would do anything for him too.

      Are all Korean men like my boyfriend? Of course not. But they are not all like your husband and brother-in-law either.

        Exactly… You can’t judge all Korean men to act in this certain way just from your experience with 2 of them.

      Most Koreans don’t know much about Latin people and their culture. It’s totally my personal opinion, but many Korean guys are kind of timid and insecure. They’re trained to hold back their feelings with all the years at school and the military. I’m not sure they can or they think they can handle passionate Latin culture. Maybe they could secretly admire it and in that case you could unseal their passion inside?

      I guess they’ll first be interested in Latin women’s glamorous bodies which Korean women hardly have. And most Koreans like foreigners speaking Korean. Just some sentences will attract their huge attention. I think you could find somebody who wants to exchange languages. Young people in Korea are kind of pushed into endless studying so you could try starting a relationship in a study setting. Anyway, once you and the guy got interested in each other, I guess you’ll know what to do.

      I may be saying this unnecessarily, but those characters in dramas are the kind of girls in Korea desire to have, and the reason they want to see those characters on TV is that it’s hard to meet somebody like the characters in real life.

      I don’t know how and why you got interested in Korean guys, but I hope you meet nice guys and enjoy staying in Seoul. Good luck.
