1. very cool

she should write all this down

[Expat in Korea]

2. Sounds about right,

but my only such experiences have been here in Asia. Back in the late 90's, I knew a few guys who said that when their fiance told their parents that they wanted to marry a 코쟁이 (derogatory word for western guy), her parents either beat her, threatened to kick her out of the family, or both. Nowadays, it seems to be quite the opposite. Korean ladies are snatching up foreigners like they are on sale.

3. Back in the '80s I had a Japanese roomate who came to the US to study engineering

and, since she was thirty years old, "running away from home" so to speak, because

her family were trying to get her married and she found most Japanese guys at the time

too domineering and "traditional". While she was here, she didn't want to date White guys either,

as she said (and I agreed) that they were generally looking for someone "submissive".

As she told them: "What do you think I left Japan for"?

She wound up dating a really nice Indian guy named "Manion" --- That's probably not

the correct spelling of his name, but all I could imagine.

I think her parents disapproved of him, but I left the housing situation and

don't know what happened to them -- I hope they "found their way", somehow.

The woman in the video is GORGEOUS by the way, and I'd guess her advise to non-Asian

guys is sound.
