I’m going to simply place this available to you: if We had been solitary in Korea, i’dn’t exactly be considered a hot commodity to Koreans. Even though this is merely a concept of mine, i believe i’ve seen Korean partners sufficient inside the previous 4-5 months to feel just like it is true. Here’s why…

Korean ladies are seen by Korean guys as porcelain dolls- pretty, fragile, slim, soft, wholesome, virtuous, and exceedingly reasonable skinned. Females here don’t attempt to attain tanned, nicely nicely toned and athletic figures that feamales in the U.S. do. Quite the opposite, they make an effort to be really slim and soft, rather than in just about any method muscular or tan. Because of this, personally i think that if we had been ever caught in a cat battle right here in Korea, i really could snap some of the ladies in half over my leg. Perhaps not that I would personally, though, of course.

When you see partners in public areas right here, you will definitely constantly realize that the guy has

their hands all over girl, is holding her bag, their shopping bags, and all sorts of the while she’s stiletto that is wearing (i possibly could compose a whole post on Koreans wearing stilettos at all times during the time, while sightseeing, even though putting on sweat pants, but i am going to conserve that for the next time). a teacher that is korean of told us that the males right right here definitely want to dote on the girlfriends. They constantly carry the woman’s bag consequently they are making contact that is physical them in some manner at all times. Our instructor additionally told us that Korean women whine lot, Fubar and therefore their boyfriends think it is cute… actually, women? Actually?!

I shall acknowledge that after We see those forms of couples when I’m back in the usa, We roll my eyes. Right right right Here, nevertheless, it is more widespread to see. In reality, its normal for couples to wear… brace yourself… matching clothes. I’m maybe maybe not referring to a vow ring or matching bracelets, I’m dealing with matching black colored and yellowish PLAID coats, or matching rugby shirts with matching shorts. (Jason and we really perform a game title predicated on this event ( many many thanks Britt!); each time we come across a matching couple, we must function as very first anyone to say “same-sies” and now we arrive at strike the loser).

With myself as to why this may be the case in Korea although it’s difficult at times, I don’t like to judge other people based on what I may consider tacky, so I have attempted to reason:

1. We now have heard off their Koreans and foreigners that having a girlfriend or boyfriend isn’t since prevalent because it’s straight straight back in the us. In reality, certainly one of our friends that are korean enthusiastic about the thought of getting a girlfriend- that is all he wants but he can’t appear to get one. This indicates if you ask me that since dating just isn’t as casual right right here, while you are in a relationship it makes it that much more special. Men desire to be sure that everybody knows the lady is theirs, so essentially they truly are peeing to their territory. Maybe maybe perhaps Not yes hey, to each their own if it justifies wearing matching jackets and shirts, but.
2. Korean moms and dads are notoriously strict in terms of their childrens’ partners. Arranged marriages nevertheless happen right right here also, which states great deal concerning the tradition by itself. I could only suppose secret relationship is common here, and that if the partners are out in general public it could be the only time that they may be together. Thus, they have been as affectionate towards one another while they could be in personal should they had the opportunity. Once more, this might be a concept based solely on my findings, as well as in no means reality.
3. Due to the fact that ladies in Korea are incredibly slim, fragile-looking, and simply simply just take pride in searching pretty all the time (and therefore are constantly using 4-inch heels) in my opinion that this produces an overly feminine and image that is delicate of; a graphic which makes the person wish to nurture and look after the lady who can’t raise 15 pounds. Therefore, they enjoy holding their shopping bags as well as other things that are heavy.
4. A few our buddies right right here in Korea, who train English and possess Korean buddies, additionally told us another interesting relationship powerful that I was thinking really was intense. When a lady is with in a relationship, she will not communicate with every other dudes, after all. Evidently it’s an indication of respect to her boyfriend (whom seems become extremely insecure and overly jealous) and also this means she can’t also keep in touch with her guy friends anymore. We nevertheless have actually yet to ensure this with any Koreans myself, however it is interesting that when We heard about any of it, We began observing that couples should never be with other people. These are typically either alone, which can be almost all associated with the partners we see, or these are generally maybe with another few. Perhaps this might additionally assist explain why relationships look therefore different right here.

Like I mentioned early in the day, they are simply my thoughts that stem from a couple of findings that i’ve been noting within my mind considering that the minute we arrived right here. We find these social points become fascinating and We additionally love individuals viewing and I also have always been quite good if I may say so, which makes me a great researcher for this type of subject at it. One of my quotes that are favorite from an episode from Intercourse together with City: “Some people do crafts and arts. We judge.” perhaps perhaps Not that I judge individuals, but we report the things I see and hear. Just sayin’.
