Long Distance Relationship with Korean Men

I think for most people, long distance relationships are just unthinkable and too difficult and expensive to manage. They might involve ome sacrifice and extra effort and lack of e.g. a physical hug at the right moment can be hard. However, if managed in the right way, the long distance relationship can be keep a relationship fresh, and of course you have the advantage of remaining in comtrol your independent life while hopefully having the support of your partner when you need it.

I have few korean friends. Most of them are so egotism which we called it as "Big Man" . Most few of them are not. I tried to understand the mind of Korean males from Korea. I kept asking myself, is it me or they all non-emotional? I have friends who preferring to date"white"( i would say "westernized") men becasue they tend to be treated better. A westernized boyfriend/husband therefore provides an escape route from the constraints of their culture. Hence the korean men in particular may behave in ways which appear awkward, emotionally dysfunctional or rather self-centered.

I have a friend who dates with korean men. They are very controlling of their gf/wife. They do not like it when other guys stare at "their property". Yet , they can flirt with girls in front of their girlfriends as if nothing is wrong with that. I find this childish. But at the same time i am attracted to them. Not for their bad habits,but for their good habits. Korean and Western culture do seem to contradict one another. These different cultures are like the same poles of two magnets towards each other. But if you move the magnets around a bit, turning and such, they eventually cant resist the attraction. Relationships can be headaches.. even two people of the same nationally will attest to that. Culture differences can throw another kink in the gears,true,but so can alot of other things.

We are also human beings in this planet and deserve equal treatment, respect, love as much as every korean. The world is changing and we are more closer to each other than we where 10 years ago. Although we have different culture, our basic human needs and wants are still the same. Let us open our minds and hearts to one another and respect each other in every way. People from different backgrounds, color, belief, can find happiness together as long as they are bonded with respect, honesty and trust from each other.
