  • Make as many connections as possible

    We can’t have a situation where people (women are the worst) say things like ‘I can’t talk to him, he’s weird.’ Or, ‘he makes me feel uncomfortable’ without mentioning anything about the offending behavior that makes them ‘uncomfortable’.

  • Britain has a problem with obesity, but you wouldn’t know it. There are 7,009 gyms in the UK. It’s probably higher than that cause of the number of dodgy, unofficial gyms in someone’s basement. But still more than the number of McDonald’s (1.439). There are probably several gyms near you, especially in any town centre.…

  • Stunning tight-pussy Chinese escort https://tp.media/click?shmarker=415286&promo_id=4492&source_type=link&type=click&campaign_id=155&trs=214028 We’re led to believe that Asian escorts are in high demand, and difficult to find. Actually the truth is something different. If you seek any Asian escort and aren’t worried about the quality, you can find hundreds of women who meet that description. Unfortunately, most girls listed as a ‘23…

  • Asian Crush

    The Asian ‘girlfriend experience’ in two American movies If we take a look at depictions of Asian women is some famous American films, we can get an idea of how certain ideas and stereotypes have gained a hold in people’s understanding of Asian women. I want to look at two American films that show relationships…

  • In 2017 I started working in Korea. I was full of excitement to visit the country I had learned so much about. But after living in Korea , I started to notice subtle forms of racism. The classic example that I can give is when I went to a restaurants and was refused entry as…

  • On getting my first taste of Asian fever

    For the first time in my life, I felt that my life had a clear sense of purpose.. I felt there was a clear connection between the spicy heat of pickled cabbage, the green bottles of soju I drank, and Eun-young’s jet black hair, long legs and dazzling crescent moon eyes. My world was good…

  • One of the things that annoys me by the glib term ‘yellow fever’ is that it only looks at one side of the equation. If you’re a white guy and you prefer to date women of a particular country, for example, China, you might feel a level of stigma for doing so. Maybe you prefer…

  • Flight of fantasy

    The plane seemed to have been travelling forever. They had been in the air for a few hours, but the time seemed to be going more slowly up there. The plane had made it’s ascent from a London airport a few hours ago, at 2:30 local time. Now it was impossible to know where exactly…

  • In no particular order: Bars and restaurants One of the worst things is going to restaurants and bars on your own. Koreans have a hatred of doing things on their own. Don’t expect to be welcomed by other Koreans when you go to restaurants as a foreigner, they will completely avoid any interaction with you.…

  • Is it possible that I got it wrong about Korea? Specifically, that it’s really easy to get with women if you’re white? Whilst there are those who would say otherwise, here are a few reasons why it’s actually hard, really hard, to get even a date here as a foreign male. The culture is totally…

  • How long did it for you to become disillusioned with South Korea? For me, the moment came when I attended my company dinner in March. They got us to come to a big wedding hall venue near Somyeon. We were told to arrive at 5:30 but had to sit around for hours while they kept…

  • You know I’ve been in Korea for over five months and although I love nearly everything about living here, there’s just a few things that bother me. Most of them I can deal with. But the number one problem is that in Korea the group is everything. I knew this before I came but I…

  • For my first few weeks in Busan I was starting to worry whether I had made the right decision to come here after all.. The experiences I was having weren’t anything special , after an number of fairly disappointing restaurant visits, I decided to cook most of my meals at home. I tried a few…

  • Actually its already been longer than a month since I moved out here from England, but only a month since I have actually been working. Rewind: I made the move out here to work for a Hagwon (teaching adults English) because I wanted to see the real Korea, and live in a foreign country. I…

  • A city I have always wanted to visit. A place about which so much is known but little is understood. Here is an account of how I spent my first days there and some of the things I got up to. We got up early on Sunday to visit the Tsukuji fish market which is…

  • What’s your reaction when you see a good looking woman? Maybe you celebrate the fact that you have seen someone very special. Or rejoice in seeing someone who brightens up your day. If you’re like me, you feel a mixture of attraction and depression. Its usually based on the feeling that you’re never going to…

  • “Do you often travel by yourself,” she asks me? “I always travel by myself.”

  • There are lots of ways that Asian women stand out from women of other races but for me the number one area is in the bedroom. It’s no accident that amongst prostitutes Asian women can and do charge higher prices than any other races. So what makes them so special? First of all, it’s their…

  • All of the admin and paperwork is really taking its toll. Actually I applied twice to Korean  companies last year. EPIK is the official company which finds positions for EFL teachers in Korea. Their form is more than twenty pages long, and it’s notorious for me of the questions asked. For example, it asks how…

  • It seems that Korean girls are extremely popular these days, with several websites going in to great detail about how they make the best girlfriends. I know that men are easily attracted to good looking women, but physical attraction will only get you so far. I’m not going to argue with most of the claims…

  • 3 years in Koreatown

    It’s now been more than three years since I moved from East London to London’s Koreatown and although I occasionally think about leaving, I have never made any serious attempts to do so. I’ve lived in many different places since I left home. But the first time I managed to feel that I lived in…

  • If you’re a western guy and you’re interested in dating a girl from Asia, what are they looking for? I believe that all women are different but there are a few characteristics in Western men that I think Asian women are attracted to. Number one: kindness. The ‘nice guys finish last’ concept doesn’t apply to…

  • What’s your passion? Is it an interest that you enjoy sharing with others or is it an activity that you pursue alone? Maybe you enjoy meeting up with people who also share your passion. Or is it difficult to find someone who likes the same things as you? I am a huge fan of Korea…

  • What attracts white men to Asian women?

    With so many white men in relationships with women from Asian countries, I thought it would be interesting to document some of the most famous of white/asian couples. To be honest, we all no the stereotype of the geeky white guy who can’t get anywhere with women of his own kind, so he finds more…

  • I finally said goodbye to Miho tonight. She is leaving for Japan tomorrow. I decided against going with her to the airport for obvious reasons. It would be too drawn-out and unnecessarily painful for both of us. We came back from a holiday in Spain on Friday and have been making the most of our…

  • These days you can’t get anywhere with out someone being called out for having yellow fever. Lets talk about what it means honestly, without resorting to ugly name-calling that usually comes out of discussions around this subject. The term’s been around for a while and is similar to the derisory term Jungle Fever to describe…

  • Its been 6 months since I’ve been going out with Miho and I’m very happy that we’ve made it this far. Unfortunately Miho is going back to Japan next month because her visa runs out. August is flashing before me like a red light. I can’t believe I’m going to say goodbye to this lovely…

  • We’ve always felt isolated from mainland Europe. We have a suspicion of anything ‘foreign,’ only accepting them when they are made acceptable to our English taste (see Indian curries, which are nothing like authentic curries in India).

  • If you’re a man and you don’t want to spend time with your girlfriend’s friends, my advice is, stop being such a loser. Being around other women feels sexy and you will feel good. You might even learn something.

  • Can a relationship kill your social life?

  • It’s been said too, on Internet forums, that Western women are impossible to please. You know what I’m talking about: women who are never satisfied because the guy doesn’t earn at least $100,000 and drive a Porsche. I’m exaggerating, but only a little.

  • This is probably the last post I will write about xxxx. No, we’re not breaking up. We’re getting on really well and things are going from strength to strength. I simply don’t feel the need to broadcast all the details onto the internet. A few people commented that it might not be the best idea…

  • I’ve been single and I’ve been in a relationship. I’m a different person when I’m with Miho. For example: If I watch a film by myself and I don’t like it after the first 15 minutes, I tend to stop watching. But when we watch films together, we tend to watch them right through to…

  • And here’s why…. They say that they’re your friend but they’re never there in an emergency or when you really need them. They are constantly asking for favours but are never able to return the favour If you try to meet them somewhere they expect you to go along with whatever they have got planned…

  • Miho asked if she could see me tomorrow. It’s a big deal for me (I’ll explain why later). We met each other yesterday and she stayed the night. Normally I work on Friday’s, but I didn’t feel like going in today. I have been feeling groggy all week and knowing that Miho would have some…

  • I used to be alone but now I’m not. That has been the single biggest change in my life since meeting Miho. It’s surprising that people don’t talk about loneliness much. Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean you are lonely. There are times when I enjoy being by myself and times when I need to have…

  • Diary of a Romance, part 4

    I’ve decided that there’s no better time to be with someone than during Winter. If you’re alone during this time it can be really terrible. Not only do you have to face Christmas by yourself but a few weeks later you have Valentine’s Day too. During the cold months, you want to spend your time…

  • Diary of a Romance Part 3

    Its amazing how many things you start to be come aware of when you start seeing someone. Like the cleanliness of your bedroom. If its just gonna be me in there, I don’t bother keeping it clean. I let clothes pile up in messy piles; books and paper clutter themselves on the floor. I get…

  • I first saw Miho at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon inside a Starbucks cafe. She was sitting alone on one of the high tables reading on a kindle. I glanced over at the text and I noticed that it was in Japanese. I asked her if she was Japanese and she replied that she…

  • My films of the year

    Becuase of the mad rush that is the pre-awards season, most of the best films are now released between November and early January to maximise awards potential. Still, by all accounts it’s been a great year for films. Here are some of the best: Ex Machina Alex Garland’s elegant sci-fi thriller was structured like a…

  • A Christmas Story

    There are some Christmases he can remember clearly and others which he has forgotten. The ones where nothing much happened, or nothing of note anyway. Those years where there were no big disappointments, but no great surprises or joys either. The Christmas I want to tell you about happened some years ago when things were…

  • Does it ever feel like everyone else has the perfect job except you? Many times I’ve wondered what the key to having a good job must be. Although I’ve been told that I’m a people person, I find that most jobs involving lots of interactions with people tend to cause problems with me. On the…

  • There’s no doubt about it, I’m getting older. I’ve been thinking about the subject of getting older for quite a few years. In my mind I feel quite young but I feel that there’s a big difference between my chronological age and the age I feel myself to be. We have a strange attitude towards…

  • Before I realised I had what is perjoratively known to some people as Asian fever, my attempts at dating were haphazard. They were fraught with anxiety and awkwardness. I had been raised to expect certain things from women and it was a continual disappointment when I saw that things didn’t go according to plan. I…

  • A history of Porn

    The article on not watching porn has generated a lot of interest so naturally I thought I would revisit it. I have used pornography on and off through most of my adult life. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. What started as occasional purchases of top-shelf magazines such as Club International and Mayfair moved…
