Korean women are by far the ones to wear the most clothes typically described as feminine, such as mini skirts, high heels, hoop earrings, accessories, etc. out of all women in the world and with the exception of perhaps Italy, there is no other country in the world where women dress quite as femininely and take as much care about the way they look. Korean women even wear mini-skirts in winter, a sight that would undoubtedly turn heads just about anywhere in the world, but is just as normal as blind beggars on the subway in Korea (very normal).


I'd like to add that Japanese women dress very femininely and care a lot about their looks as well. A lot of times overdoing it. For example, just going to the grocery store, it looks like they spent about an hour getting ready. They wear mini-skirts in the winter too! I just don't get it. Aren't they freezing? I guess they just wanna look good. Btw, I'm currently living in Japan and have been here for 2 years now.

overtherainbow: Your comment about Korean guys fixing their hair, it's so true! I visited last year and I was on the subway and noticed this one guy constantly messing around with his hair. I don't remember how long, but it was at least several minutes. Actually, Japanese guys like to do that too. I wonder if it's an Asian guy thing...


I was just reading through the whole thread since I am really hyped about the korean culture and etc... I am chinese and currently living in the states. Just to clear the hair issue, I usually take about 10 sec to do my hair Laugh which includes some water and a comb.
but really shouldn't guys be more concerned physical wise? o_O i mean a good shaped bud > all (except faces) Whistling

I think it's actually great that this person slipped up, went back to being a 12-year-old and showed his truly ugly racist side. Because this way, nobody on this board is ever going to take him seriously ever again, and reveal that everything said is a poor disguise for feelings of inferiority and racism coming from a very sad person whose life is so miserable hiding behind racism is the best way to protect his little world of illusions of grandeur and illusions of living in a perfect country where nobody is superficial, hundreds of thousands of women don't have sex for no reason other than greed for money and where ugly women never face discrimination. I think we should all feel bad for this person - probably, deep down inside, he knows that Korea is far from a perfect country, but is unable to deal with it on a rational level. I guess with that, everybody can put this poster aside and rest in peace knowing that everything said is not worth reading over.

What surprises me is that there's no ban or warning. That was probably the lowest-class racism I've ever seen on the board and there's probably going to be a blindly nationalistic, defensive comment (because those are so much more objective than the observational views of a foreigner who likes Korea, but is not blind to its faults and is, most important of all, detached from personal feelings for Korea) every time someone dares to criticize the mother country. This qualifies for a troll. A very sad troll, but still a troll.

Sorry, I have a hard time letting stupidity and racism (worthy-of-a-ban racism) go. Plus, I personally don't see why trolls should be allowed to post on this board.

LOL. Stop your crying. Admit you don't know everything about my people just because you currently reside in Korea. Not everything is what you see and you hear. If you were wise enough you would understand this...

Korea is not perfect neither is any other place but it's my homeland where I am treated as an EQUAL. NO more white people running around spying on me and trying to falsely imprison me, no more hoodrats trying to fight me, and the list goes on~

Jealous of what? Sorry bubba~ you aren't the only superpowers in town in 20 years or so. YOU better get out while you can before you get seriously hurt like Korean and Vietnam war. salut


chill, marvelous Smile .. relax.. breath a little ... i think Wrow was just joking around Cool

i do have a question though, when you said that westerners stole half of Korea, what do you mean by that exactly??????

Are you refering when the country was split in half right after WW2?? and which half were you referring too??
North which was back by then U.S.S.R. which is considered a western power even though 3/4 of its territory resides in Asia,
or South which was back by the U.S.??
Or are you refering to the Korean War when the North (back by China & U.S.S.R.) overrun the South, and the U.S. and U.N. had to step-in to maintain status quo?
and one final question do you by any chance live in the North or South Korea, or are you abroad living in one of the said "western" countries that "stole" the other half of Korea?

P.S. don't bite me please .. i didn't have my rabies shot yet Smile

hmmmm Unsure why is it when the word SLAVERY (SLAVE) comes up its always the "white man" aka westerner that got blame for it ? did they invent Slavery?? .. it's not as if other races don't keep slaves.. whites, blacks, brown and yellow they all practice SLAVERY (on one form or another) at some point of their history.....
Whistling and oh before you bite my head's off .... i'm not white
