You also forgot that their women are unapologetically not interested in the average Korean man. Because of the insane requirements put on women who marry (take care of both sets of parents and husband), most are simply refusing to date or settle down. Their nightclubs frequently ban foreigners, ostensibly due to "risk of crime or violence" but absolutely in practice because they know that foreigners do quite well, too well in most clubs.

90% of South Korean women have plastic surgery, but less than 5% of South Korean men do the same. Due to this, South Korean women now outclass South Korean men in attractiveness. The solution is simple; ban cosmetic surgery. Then there will be more average South Korean women to settle down with the average South Korean men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_surgery_in_South_Korea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_surgery_in_South_Kore...

  The Wikipedia page appears to have been edited 1 day ago to say that 91% of women age 30-39 have had plastic surgery, though the cited source says 31%.

    That remains a massive discrepancy.

  This seems to define attraction between two people as some sort of "match how hot out of 10" game. I'd suggest that that's a overly simplistic understanding of how attraction and dating works.

One of the girls in my poly pod (I am both poly and lesbian), I'll call her 'Y', is South Korean and bisexual, and has repeatedly stated she'd rather die alone than to be stuck with an average Korean man. It seems like family pressure is the only reason left for South Korean women to give into the absolute shit deal that marriage is for them.
