"I want a korean boyfriend"

Isn't it the same everywhere whether you only date your own race or not? Men want to have fun when they're young so it doesn't matter who they're dating, but as soon as it comes time to settle down they want a whole different type of girl.

^ another person who refers to the opposite sex as food for lols? I'm not the only one!! =D sushi is yummy, but chickens good all the same.

anyway
in regards to fantasy versus reality-- 100% agreement, korean dramas exist to give us false hope, make us laugh, cry, and go "Oh, Lee Joon Ki, will you remove your shirt just one more time?" and make people behind us watching over your shoulder go "Wow, that girl is hot." "No, thats a guy." "Oh crap, I'm gay."
Anyway, though, in regards to koreans as a society, (lol, why isnt a korean posting here and defending themselves?) if all that bad stuff about them is all true, then they should all be single....and going extinct.
.....=D going to korea to preserve the life brb.

ps. also, you see those stereotypes in a lot of white guys. Actually, guys in general.
.....=D going lesbian, brb.

LOL...i had to respond to this topic. recently, at work, there was a conversation about getting me to marry a japanese guy. mind you i was on the phone and this conversation was in the background and started by my puerto rican friend and co-worker. she and i had talked about traveling in asia and she had joked about us getting married to japanese men. anyways, i laughed afterwards and said, "no if i married another asian ethnicity, it would be a korean guy!"

but seriously, its the way we are brought up, no matter who you are or where you live in the world. if your family is a very traditional family, you get the worst of it. i am asian-american (hmong) and i have been raised with the "marry our own kind" rule always. my parents are very open minded but this is their way of thinking. it's more about understanding than anything else. they want to be able to talk to your significant other without the language barrier or for them to understand why things are the way they are culturally.

i have some male family members who married outside with other asians, and it was hard for the parents to accept when marriage came up. mainly, i think, it was because the children would not be purebreed but mixed. but hey, they did eventually accept it. my cousin married a cauasian. he is a great guy, very open-minded and always so interested in our culture. that helped the parents but also because everyone loved her and that was her choice so they supported her.

i mean it's still very hard even when you marry within your own kind. there are still a lot of prejudice that you have to deal with - don't marry them because of this and that stuff.

btw, what about those korean orphans that are adopted out?! they are less likely to date or marry other koreans because they weren't raised that way. one of my co-worker is korean but was adopted as a baby. she mentioned she dated a korean guy but other than that, nothing more. and her twin sister just married a chinese guy. go figure huh.

anyway, i know i am way off topic so sorry. but hey, i want a korean bf too! LOL highly unlikely to happen to me. but, if history is correct, then the hmongs and koreans can marry because we have a common ancestor. LOL

Hi!
Just came across the subject and i found it interesting, I can understand the fuss about Korean idols, after all they are idols and I'm guessing its part of the job to look awesome!!!!!! ( I'm not blind!!!)
Reading through the forum I got a little confused scratch

1:Are Korean idols ,and the roles they portrait, the representative type of every Korean guy?
And
2:Is the topic I want to marry my Korean boyfriend or just I want a Korean boyfriend?
Anyway I came from a family from two different races and the country which I was raised is a little. conservative ...but my family environment was very good despite the cultural differences.
I guess all you have to do is give it your best shot if you want something to work out!

ok, í am responding to this thread for the same reason as most people...cos it's amusing! i think most korean actors are great candy eye and their characters in the movies/series can certainly make you drool BUT (big But) I have enough Korean friends to know that probably 95% Korean guys are neither that good looking nor that gentlemanly (in fact probably quite the opposite). anyway, a girl being a girl, sometimes i like to drift off and believe that they are all a wonderful and handsome species that speak a sexy language i don't quite comprehend.

Ooooohh! This topic is interesting!

I actually don't know what the fuss is about Korean men...all countries have their share of handsome men as well as women. So far, the Koreans I have associated with I have found to be average looking (read: not as good looking as the actors they have on TV) and some are even a bit rude.

Not that I am generalizing or anything but please don't base your choice of a boyfriend on what you see on TV. Unless it's the news, it's not reality at all! Even reality TV has been found to be scripted at times.

Just curious, but on the original topic about girls wanting Korean girlfriends, has those girls ever been to grad school, or even college in the United States? Have you guys noticed that the Korean girls who go to school here, both international and American-born, look nothing like the Koreans in Kdramas and MVs?

Since I go or went to school with many Koreans in college or grad school, I always crack up whenever I see girls who want to have a Korean boyfriend. The American-born ones look like Korean versions of ABCs, and the international ones look like Korean otaku.

But that's just my own observations. I do have to say that the shirt is both hilarious and awesome. Laugh

I do hate to see this thread closed when I still had questions related to the original post. Let's see if I can shift back to first gear.

Anyway, does anyone know if they have a guy version of the shirt above that's in something like Chinese or something? Or at least something that has a humorous sentence like "白人看不懂" that was made popular by that Yellow Fever video?

*goes back to read the very beginning of the thread*

ROLMAO at my earlier post from 2006. I believe my earlier predicament of overcoming cultural differences has been resolved for the most part. Smile

Hmmms...have we gone back on-topic yet?

@watermelonghost: I believe my last post wasn't directed at you, so kindly back the freak off.

Actually, what I find hilarious is that this thread started out with the OP asking how to spell "I want a Korean boyfriend" in Korean so she could put it on a T-shirt.

lmao at what it's turned into over the years......
