Emptybottle.org: Ten Things

skallas seemed downhearted that there wasn't a link, so I've written up Ten Things You Should Never Say To A Korean Girl (if you're, you know, pursuing her). Note that I have said all of these things to Korean women at one time or another, basically because I am a Big Dummy.

*drumroll please*

#10. Your parents really suck.
#9. I've had quite a few girlfriends..
#8. You're crazy.
#7. Drugs? Well, I've tried a few.
#6. Do your friends know about us?
#5. I'd rather be happy and broke than rich and miserable.
#4. Do you like dog meat?
#3. I think I prefer Japan to Korea.
#2. I don't like children.
#1. Is that a padded bra?

Edit : big white guy has a more serious, but semi-related, story of his experiences here. It's really nice to hear about the similar-but-different experiences of other waeguk-in/gaijin/gwi-lo once in a while.

Edit the second : Also, Memoirs of an Anti-Geisha.

You know if you tweak a few of them it would be a universal "Ten things you should never say to a girl" list :)

Which is a darn good point, riffola. As me old grandpappy used to say : 'Wimmen is wimmen, sonny boy. God bless 'em.'

According to Asian Guy, one of the things you should never say is "How much?"

And with a little more tweaking still, it becomes a "Ten things you should never say to a boy" list ;)

Which goes to perpetuate that tired fucking 'me love you longtime' bullshit stereotype of all Asian women as willing whores for the blonde GI's that enrages me so.

Also, perhaps grandpappy* should've said "People is people." I think that's what he would have meant anyway.

*grandpappy is entirely fictitous. I can't actually remember a single thing my grandfather ever said to me.

Oh god. If there is one thing i cant stand its a Korean woman. donmt get me wrong. i popped out of a Korean womans vagina...and Korean women are cute, but talk about a whole race of Bitch-Brackless Hags. Am I comming off a little bitter? I dont dislike all Korean women, just the majority. Right now ive got myself a nice Kyopo, and i think im happy withher. But those Korean born and raised messes...those are some whack jobs.

Everytime I go back to Korea and I speak Korean to any girl on the street (no, not a whore) they notcie im not pure bred, and then they notice the bad accent. Well, what do ya knwo, they start gigglin and coverin their mouth. Dont hide your teeth, bitch. I cant stand that.

I think that list was adequate, but not complete. The reason to never say any of these things:

they may giggle and cover their mouth, but piss them off and they will come after you with banshee screams, fangs, and fingernails.
