What are characteristics of Korean men?

Answer 1

How many who have answered this have even been to Korea? First off, dramas don't give you a clue of what people are really like, they are what peoples lives would be like if everything was idyllic.



Korean men aren't short at all, unless you're talking about the old men that grew up starving during the war years. (Younger men average about 5'9-5'10 I'd say).



When they're growing up they study from early morning to late at night at public and various private schools. It is very rare even for a highschooler to have a girlfriend, so you can imagine most are not suave even in their twenties. The culture here is that (single) women are princesses who are often immature and whiny (and obviously materialistic) and men dote on them until they have them hooked into a marriage.



Once married, most men rule here with an iron fist. He will often frequent prostitutes and massage parlors once his wife starts to bore him. While not all men do this, hitting is not at all uncommon when he can't get his point across through words.



Koreans are a passionate people when compared to other Asians, this stereotype is true. They have the bowing and the same polite veneer that the Japanese have, but they can quickly get into shouting matches or even physical fights if they felt that they have been caused to 'lose face'. While the Japanese and Thais for example are also concerned with losing face, they will often withold their emotions (in public) when their pride has been violated.



This passion does carry over into romance at least in the early stages for Korean men. They behave in ways that would be considered desperate in the west, calling on the cellphone 10x a day or more, sending numerous bouquets of flowers to love interests before she has shown any true interest back to him.



They also love drinking an alcohol somewhat similar to vodka called soju. They may often work a 12 or 14 hour day, and then spend hours with their boss drinking several bottles of soju along with a fatty meat that they (and many foreigners here as well) tend to like. This is an oft occurence, so you can imagine that the home life is limited.



Sorry to burst the bubbles of you Filipino and Thai women who watch the dramas, but Korean men are not something to be sought after, unless you want a brief fling. I'm American and I wouldn't go saying American men are so wonderful, but compared to a Korean man they'd definitely be the lesser of two evils.

I think all men have a tendency to be jealous based on the environment they grew up in rather than their ethnic background. Korean men don't seem to be any more jealous than any other race of men and I would have to say that Korean American men wouldn't exhibit this trait based on the fact that they are of Korean heritage. Most people are more a product of their environment than the stereotype of their race. Which is why no one can ever make generalizations based on the actions of a few. That said Korean people tend to "save face" when it comes to confrontation with westerners but with each other they observe the hierarchal tradition in their culture (respect for elders regardless of whether that elder is in the wrong or not). A few times they will get angry and lose their temper, but this is not a character attribute limited to a certain group of people. Korean American men would certainly be aware of culture and traditions within their ethnicity, but to be honest in my experience with them they tend to be more "americanized" or "westernized." They are more or less individuals because that's how western or American society views itself.

Answer 4

They have dirty short tempers. even if they are the nicest people in the world you don't wanna get on their bad side.



for being flirts, i would say some...it depends where they really grew up. if their straight from korea, then probably yeah, born in U.S, then probably not so much

Answer 5

nectar_pepsi's, It takes one to know one. you are quite tragic too.



I think they are nice and love their wife very much. I don't think they are flirtatious.

Answer 6

I'm a foreigner with several years experience living in South Korea. Because of my job, I have interacted with thousands of Korean men between the ages of 20 - 35. I will give you generalizations from my experiences in professional (at work), social (at clubs, bars, restaurants, etc.) and general public situations (out on the streets, subway, etc.).



1) Bad tempers - this is mostly a product of the environment --heavy traffic, high population density and long work hours. I wouldn't generalize that they have bad tempers except when they are drunk.



2) Want women to do everything for them - make no mistake about it, Korea is still a man's world (this is slowly changing). The Confucian mindset still exists. One thing to observe is the divorce rate skyrocketing (www.nso.go.kr). Women are no longer willing to put up with the cheating (room salon women), drinking and disrespect that the previous generations of women endured.



3) Heavy drinking - this is absolutely true. Some say it's because of stress at work and some say it's just the culture. I agree more with the latter. This partially explains the urinating and vomiting on the streets. When people go back to work on Monday, they are skipping over piles of vomit in downtown areas.



4) Mixed race people - Korean men prefer Koreans.



5) Social skills - the men in their early 20s are inept at communicating with women. It could be because of the all mens schools that they attend. They just don't have any skills.



6) Jealousy - Korean men hate to see foreigners with Korean women. They usually won't do anything except give nasty stares and gawks. If they're drunk and in a group, sometimes they will call the woman some bad names. Rarely does it get physical. Even drunk Koreans are too cowardly to do this. You see more and more Korean women with foreign guys these days, so this will always exist.



7) Gambling - There aren't many places for Koreans to gamble in Korea, so I haven't noticed any problems.



8) Smoking - many men smoke and it usually begins during the mandatory military service.
