How much does it matter in Korea for a girl to be attractive?


What does attractive mean in Korea anyway? My friend who's going to be there for a few years is forever fussing over it I'm hoping your answers might ease her worries, but it's okay just be honest.

For a westerner attractive usually equates with well kept. Many facial features that I do not find attractive on a white or black girl my Korean friends love. Same goes for my perspective on Korean women. I find very attractive the women my Korean friends hate.
Much of that goes to body size. Many Korean women these days have a fetish about body weight. I know some girls that are a 0 and think they are too big so they are trying to become a 00.
One of my good friends always bugs me about my weight (I am about 6'2" 250lbs) and says I need to diet. But, since she always says it while smoking I tend to ignore her.
Anyway... Soldiers also have a standard they refer to as Korea Cute. It is the theory that there are so few western women to choose from that a 5 in the states is a 9 in Korea. Girls that trade on that fact are referred to as Queen for a Year.
I doubt I helped your friend's worries.

For foreign girls it's not important to be attractive, but it helps to be at least decent looking to get good jobs. Generally western women are not in a great situation for dating here. The western guys like Korean girls and western girls don't like Korean guys.

For a Korean girl in Korea, appearance is everything.

Unfortunately for a Korean woman, they are constantly bombarded by "beauty-related" items on TV, newspapers, etc.

Ladies, from a young age, learn that beauty comes in a bottle, therefore, if one does not buy the beauty product, they cannot be beautiful.

And to, some of that stuff in a bottle can get quite expensive; Korean women are taught to believe that "the more expensive, the more beauty (quality)" the bottle offers them.

Some of the ladies here put on foundation, with what seems like a cement trowel. The more heavily applied, the more beautiful you are.

Also, if you are not "model skinny," you are thus too fat.

V-Man got it right......unfortunately.

they are sexy gurls
