Re: Americans Taste Durian For The First Time, Indonesian Reactions

tried this once. In my opinion it tastes the same as it smells. awful. I smelled like durian for the whole day afterwards. well, I guess you have to grow up with certain things, like I grew up eating cheese and I love it, but asians find the smell disgusting.

Re: You’re Kind of Ugly for a Korean: Fetishism is Hurtful

when I was studying Korean Studies as a second major BA, guess what most of the students in my class had for their first major? Japanese Studies! When they were asked why they chose Korean, almost all replied, that they loved japan and anime and korea is the similar neighbouring country. I bet to you a lot of kpop fans are the same, they might be able to locate korea on the map and maybe say annyong, but they dont know nothing about the country.

right, thats what I mean...and most of them aren't even ugly, just not the beauty ideals of korea. I feel sad for my friends who get influenced by the impossible beauty standards and think about doing their nose or eyes

imagine a bunch of teenage girls who don't have many asian friends because there are simply not many asians around, watching kpop and kdrama all day...of course they would think this is what normal people look like, because honestly, this is the worst part of kpop in my opinion: there are no examples of normal/"ugly" people in kpop. there are no fat idols, there are no ugly idols who got famous for their talent. and this has bad influence on korean teenagers who dont have other stars they can look up to. every channel you turn on, you see the same plastic surgery faces. i know pretty korean girls who would look the same as the idols with a bit of styling and make up, yet they feel fat and in need of plastic surgery...this is how the kpop fans get the idea of prefectly pretty koreans too.

I think the worst part of kpop are the anti-fans. CL has a lot of fans who actually respect her for her talent. while I am not much of a fan of such music or her outfits, I have to say she does rock while she performes. there is so much passion! i just dont get why all the anti-fans care so much about her looks, you dont like her, just dont bother listening/looking at her. move alone, why post hatefull comments, right? I guess korean netizens have too much time one their hands.

I never had a passion for kpop, although my ipod was mostly filled with asian music, but I have been a kdrama fan for a long time. and yes I followed my passion in a bit extreme way, went ahead and studied chinese and korean. first of all I was interested in the language, didnt care much for history and culture, but a bachelor later and I am extremely interested in korean politics, history and literature and not at all interested in kpop..even lost my passion for drama. I have been to korea a few times and never get tired of it. for me, real koreans look better than the idols because they dont have the same plastic surgery faces. I have experienced rudeness, but my overall impression is really good and I love this country so so much. I always tell my friend to never ever think about plastic surgery. and yes I wanted a korean boyfriend and I got one. And i love him not because he is korean, but because of his personality and his manners. it's just that korean mentality suits me really well and I love how korean guys are raised. he is so polite to my relatives and cares about family, which I think is different when dating europeans. So not all kpop fans are bad and obsessed with kpop :)

never got such sentiments from my fat cat no matter how heartbroken I have been..-.-#
maybe I should have given him food more often instead of waiting for my mom to feed him so he even stopped asking me for food.

well..that could be nice..depending on the one who is staring.. or really seriously intimidating. hm..how interesting.
one can feel like a rare animal at the zoo with all the people staring^^

thanks. I was actually told that everyone will think I am a russian hooker in china so it might better to say that I am german..which I am..well at least half^^I was hoping it would be different in Korea.
But I am proud to be russian and don't really care of what they think. I surely don't dress the way so people might misunderstand...so I hope I won't have such experienced with men following me to my apartment (this is a creepy image in my head right now)

Re: OkCupid.

jiayue — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:39:17 -0000

omg..!
I met my korean guy (the one-sided love one) on koreancupid...before they made everything for the paid accounts..so is kocupid any good? many koreans there?
I have many bad experiences with a lot of creepy people write creepy messages and only one good one with the already mentioned korean guy..which I guess could be considered a bad one now that I am heartbroken..complicated.
so, is the side good? many creeps there?

jiayue — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:33:54 -0000

so simply put...if I go to asia..they will think I'm a hooker?
are there so many russian hookers there?

I am right there with you.
after a few sms yesterday about us meeting one last time before I go to china and him not having time and blah...me cried too.
oh, one-sided love, thou art a heartless bitch.
I can only offer you an imaginary bottle of soju. let's drink our misery away.
a comedy movie marathon also helps a bit.

yeah..this family thing is hardcore. I could never understand it and I won't
but we do not know if there is a family problem here. I mean, I've never met them or anything, but he did grew up here and they also lived here for so long now. I don't think the family is a problem.
but well, it's over now anyway. I am going for half a year to study in china and he didn't even find time to meet me the last time. I am not so sure I want to see him again when I come back. I mean yeah, of course..but if I manage to get over him, I wouldn't want it to start again. and I don't want to be at the point again, there I have to discuss my one-sided relationships with complete strangers on the internet XD

wow..that explains a thing..
we were at a club one time and there was a korean guy. my friend got them to dance with us and chat a bit, like introduce ourselves...he seemed so uncomfortable, as soon as we turned our backs they kinda ran away to the other end of the crowed and never approached any girls. from what you have written..it totally make sense now

well. he is a man, men don't necessary need feelings to have sex..
maybe there is something, coz he is still being an oppa, he could have just broke contact with me...but well, after one year of such screwed up relationship and I don't make me any more false hope and thoughts if it were his parents or not. he is a grown up man who should have his own thoughts. now I am just better prepared for the next one. if I am ever going to go to korea (which I hopefully will), I will aproach them if they are too shy
