In today’s video, I am sharing my thoughts on the Korean dating apps I've used with living in Korea as a foreigner. I'm sharing which apps I think are worth the time and which be permanently deleted! Korean dating culture definitely has some nuance.

Trying to get on Amanda is sure to be an interesting experience…. 🥴
Good luck for your dating experience! I hope you find someone lovely ^^ I've thought about trying dating apps here, but honestly the stories I hear just sound exhausting 😅 What about meeting someone through friends? My Korean friends here seem to meet their SOs that way more than anything else.
Thank you!! 🥰 I would love to meet someone through friends or even just out at a cafe or bar. It's been hard with group sizes being limited but hopefully options will start opening up lol
@@CamilleBlais Same! I hope so haha
it is shiny morning when i watch your videos :*
Thank you!!
I would feel waaaaaay too pressured to look A+ on Korean dating apps and then on the subsequent dates. Gotta compete against the other filtered photos their swiping on plus gotta follow through...although some of my guy friends say they still get catfished anyway 😂
I've never actually gotten a chance to scope out the competition lol I am always nervous about the meeting in person part though because I am very selective with my profile photos ... 😅
Koreans app are way too shallow. Does it also represent their mentality as a society?
I don’t think sweeping statements about societies as a whole carry much stock, there definitely is a booming aesthetics industry here.
Hi love ☺️ how do korean guys perceive western women? Being that the country is quite homogeneous do they find you “exotic” and like an “experience” or are they interested in legit relationship? What’s your experience on that? 🌸
Hi! In my experience, there are still a few people who maintain the perception of engaging in a relationship with a foreigner as being fleeting, an "experience," or temporary. But, it is certainly not all! Just have to do a bit of work to weed through those foreigner hunters.
Are you only trying apps? How has your experience been trying to meet people randomly in person at cafes/bars/etc?
My preference will always be to meet in people in what I refer to as "the wild." 😂 Over the last year I have found it really difficult to do though because of the pandemic-related protcols in place (curfew, limits to # of people in a group, etc.) I've never had anyone approach me at a cafe, although I would die for that type of a meet cute, but I've met some people at bars.... its never really panned out though 🥲
Greetings from the UK. Hinge is very popular here and it's full of people. It's also considered a relationship app. So I'd say there are more decent guys on it, than those on Tinder. Tinder is a mess. :( in the UK at least, Tinder is used primarily for casual hookups. And Bumble is a disappointment. Guys that are on it are very lazy and can't be bothered to make an effort. Even after the lady messages, they still expect her to message and be proactive. Many guys don't even reply after matching.
Back home in Canada, Hinge was my go-to as well. Never would have thought at 28 I'd be back on Tinder. Hadn't used it since 1st year university until I got to Korea lol
Isn't OkCupid used in Korea too? I've heard it mentioned by others. And a lot of people use HelloTalk for that even though it's not marketed for such things.
I think it is! I've never tried it though. And, yeah.. HelloTalk and MEFF both have that "dating" side hustle going on lol
I was really shocked to hear that they kick out foreigners from the app! I talked to my Korean friends and they say it is not only foreigners but younger people and people without a good job. They also told me 아만다 stands for 아무나 만나지 않는다. Nevertheless, that is a horrible concept.
Truly horrible lol If people get on the app in the first place that means they community wants them there! Why kick them out again? 😆
I wouldn't want to be on an app that specifically doesn't want me. Its okay that its for Koreans only! I don't know, it wouldn't bother me. Its just like trying to get into a club thats for a specific group of people in North America, because you "identify" with that group. I would find that odd. But thats just me. Good luck on your dating journey!
I definitely see your perspective! When I think about North American apps, I can download and try my luck on Farmers Only for example even though I don't identify within that group. I probably won't have much luck much 😅 but I am not excluded on the basis of my occupation. Amanda is not advertised as a "Koreans Only" dating app, so if someone is flourishing on the app (has a good grasp of the language, culture, etc) I find it troublesome that they would be removed based on race. If someone doesn't want to match with a non-korean then they can swipe left. It also has broader implications outside of the foreign community as well as the decision to remove non-koreans is based on images only and may also pose issues for non-korean or mixed people born in Korea with korean as their native language.
AMANDA is about being BEAUTY STANDARD...you can be white blonde but if you chubby (for example.. ) they won't approve you period....I'm black lightskin... (body Cardi B style) face thin features because my mom is white and a lot like a lotttt people called me there it's crazy... is sad for the girls that are not in korea or usa standart of beauty cause koreans are 90% materialist
Is there a meetup for making friends and connections
I don't personally know of any official meet-up, but I would definitely recommend Bumble BFF if you are looking to build your social circle in a new city :)
Here korean
Dating apps in Korea are not so good...
I’m definitely struggling lol

I don't think long-term relationships should be found on tinder, they should be BUILT. Built by a WOMAN, because it is much more important to her. And when a man sees that you are investing in him with full dedication and you are only for him, he will answer you and take you under his protection and responsibility. No matter what application, this is a basic principle that always works. If you only invest in yourself, building up your ego, it will turn men off because it is not reliable. It's like choosing a car that sometimes opens up to all people and they can leave with "your" car. Therefore, there are many lonely fukboys, who continue to waste time on meaningless sex instead of paying attention only to the girls investing in them (however, they do not cause a strong desire in them) and lonely girls who belong to everyone and no one at the same time, thinking that the more they will cause desire, the more likely they will find a long relationship, but they just attract only fukboys.
You had me until "built by a woman." Why it gotta be a woman? Gender roles are so 1900s. PS. If you want to ever find yourself a girlfriend, I'd suggest you not continue to draw comparisons between women and inanimate objects....
@@little.tricks Relationships are always built by a follower (a diplomat is a natural role of a woman) . Any relationship begins with an assessment of who will be the leader (the natural role of a man). This assessment occurs from the first seconds of acquaintance (this also happens in the animal world). A woman who is not used to building relationships, but who is used to being a leader, will participate in the conflict - a way to challenge leadership. In a conflict, one always wins, there are no two leaders (also in the animal world). In simple words, a man shows HOW to build a relationship with him, and a woman builds them. If she violates the rules, and provokes a conflict - this is a violation of HOW. In the animal world, it is either death or expulsion from the pack. With us, this is a form of exile - total disregard. That is, a man is disappointed in a woman and breaks off communication. There are many others around him who want to try to build a relationship with him (he took care of it), but the most important thing is that he enjoys it when he is true to his principles and is ready to make tough decisions. But of course you can, and I'm sure you'll find a man who will "build an equal relationship" with you. Such men are now 98%+ in developed countries. The reasons for this are fundamental. And there are so many of them that I'm sure I don't know much. But here is one of my observations regarding such a single factor as watching porn. All the girls who came into conflict with me, and therefore destroyed the relationship, admitted to me that they often watch porn or otherwise satisfy themselves. Conversely, men who have often had conflicts with women often watch porn. This tells me (purely my opinion) that women forget how to build relationships, simply because they don't need men so much to satisfy themselves. Men, on the other hand, forget how to make tough decisions, because they can't even deny themselves watching porn. How will they be disappointed and "send into exile" a girl going into conflict with them? And there are a million such fundamental reasons as porn. All of them, of course, are united by a common deep meaning. Well, I think it's clear how.
