Korean

Hey there players! This post comes from J.D. over at The Social Lifestyle. Go check out his other writings too, the guy has a lot of great stuff to say. He’s provided a much needed native Asian view for us today, explaining the mindset needed to meet and pick up girls in your own home country. This article should help our Korean readers become more confident with talking to and meeting women here at home.

Something that comes up time and time again from guys who first learn about cold approach pick up is that they think “it only works in the Western context.” It’s as though somehow they are a different species of humans and have totally different socio-behavioral cues.

Sure, if you’re comparing Saudi Arabia to USA, for example, there are laws or sanctions against publicly interacting with members of the opposite sex, then it may make sense to say that.

But if you’re living in a Westernized, progressive society, saying that women in your country can’t be approached is definitely ridiculous—especially if you haven’t tried it yourself. [Read more…] about Can I Meet Women in My Own Country?

Picking up girls in another country is never easy, and it’s a good bit more difficult when the natives don’t have extensive knowledge of English. Places like Europe and touristy destinations around the world will have a ton of locals who speak English with at least decent proficiency, but East Asia generally does not. On top of that, if you go to places like Central and South America, Spanish is relatively easy to pick up to a conversational point. Korean is not.

Korean is definitely one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, which is why many expats have been here for years upon years without learning more than survival phrases. I, for one, refuse to be that guy. I took it upon myself after arriving here to develop a strong proficiency with the language, and I’m now at a point where I’m functionally fluent but not native. This is entirely unimportant though in terms of picking up women.

A lot of guys here think that the language barrier will stop them from being able to pick up women, but that’s absolutely untrue. [Read more…] about Dealing With the Language Barrier
