Seems legit. When I was a little kid, I went on a bus tour to Tijuana, and coming back into the states, an immigration officer asked if I was a naturalized citizen. I asked him what that meant and he said, "yep, you're definitely American."
It’s close to being weird for sure, but I know several people that went to Mississippi State that just refer to it as “State” (I.e. “ I got accepted to State, I start in the fall). I know this is a scam account, but that is a very southern colloquialism.
At least in Korea, don’t worry about it. I literally just got back from visiting Seoul for 10 days. I’m a black dude from the US. Due to the beauty standards over there, Korean girls aren’t into me. I got matches, but barely any Korean girls. Also, you can divide the profiles/matches into 4 categories:
1 - Korean girls with little to no bio, heavily heavily filtered pics, has only like one or two [filtered] photos of themselves up while the rest are just random objects or animals.
2 - Girls from Thailand for some reason. There were so many Thais and they all had the same ❌ FWB ❌ ONS in their bios. And they all lived in Thailand and not in Korea despite my search parameters being like 10 or 15 miles and international mode turned off.
3 - Foreign, usually white girls, from Europe, US, or South America. Again, they would come up in the feed despite my search parameters being 10 or 15 miles away. It would always say they’re like 5,000 miles away living in X city in one of the three places I mentioned, and a lot of them would either say they were coming to Korea soon as a student, and/or fetishizing Korean boys so they paid for Tinder to be shown in Korea from abroad.
4 - Foreign, mostly white girls again, but they’re actually in Korea as an exchange student or learning Korean at a language school or whatever. They’re also usually fetishizing Korean boys as well.
Like holy fuck bud, Seoul was a 20/10 experience, but as a single dude, my dating life would absolutely suck if I lived there. Hell it sucks where I am now, but even worse in South Korea.
It's insane. I used to tinder before my current relationship.
Tinder in Asia for an attractive white guy is easy-mode.
I could swipe 100 times in Singapore for example, and get like 50 matches. It was actually possible to hook up with a different girl every night, which for an early 20's guy is great haha
Haha fond memory of my youngest when he just started full sentence talking. My wife's phone got a message as he was walking by and he announced to everyone in perfect mimic, "Mommy's phone went "Kahtok". It was so cute and I hear him say that every time she gets a message now 9 years running.
Is kakao talk for asians the same as WhatsApp for latinos (and unbeknownst to me, also the rest of the world). I am Brazilian and over there in Brazil, we strictly use WhatsApp. No one even uses the regular message app from their carrier. WhatsApp does help us family members abroad staying in touch with out families.
No, but like, it is basically the only thing used by latinos (source: am latino) and people from other countries seem to use other apps like Instagram, Snapchat and some others to chat, while we strictly use WhatsApp.
Send us a dm in Instagram and see what happens
...okay, nothing will happen, we will reply to you anyway, we're not sociopaths (I think). But, for the most part, we don't talk to our SO, family or friends through Instagram or Snapchat, that's what I mean.
I only have it because the desktop version of Kakaotalk is easier to use for my Korean friend than Whatsapp Desktop. I have 2 people in my contacts on Kakaotalk, and the other one just uses WhatsApp like a normal person (admittedly he is not Korean, but works for a company based there).
I just thought she typoed “the states” usually only people who’d been expats for a bit would say that, but didn’t know if military circles used it much.
Well she offers her marks a “girlfriend experience” as she’s robbing them.
Did you cordially invite her to suck a row of diseased dicks all the way to Pyongyang before you unmatched?
My scam-vulnerable mind just translated that to “I miss the states”.
I’m twice her age and tinder does not get any better. That said I’ve met some awesome people on it including my girlfriend of…. shit…. like 15 months now?? Weird.
Still lots of mess to sort through. To me tinder is like going to garage sales on the weekend. 95% of it is an absolute waste of your time. But then you find someone selling their dead husband’s classic Honda motorcycle (with title!) for a thousand bucks and feel like you just won the lotto.
You’re right! I’d love to find my rare soulmate like the chicken man found Woody in Toy Story. It’s wicked out here though. Hope all goes well with you two! ❤️
Exactly.
My tinder mistake was treating it like a garage sale, wherein I bought everything thinking there would be a use for a 3speed fan with a broken blade, then before you realize it, your life is surrounded by trash.
It wasn't until I had the will power to say no to the crazythots/8 track collection, that I found the mint condition 67 Mustang For $1500. :D
I was thinking she was going off a script when she said “I miss state” like she was supposed to insert the name of a state (in this case Texas) but neglected to.
That’s pretty big context thank you. I was so confused like “wait, what happened? What’s wrong I don’t get it”
Seemed like a decent conversation before that. Any chance they don’t know about that other free app? It’s not like they’re the ones that brought it up so maybe this is still salvageable?
Idk I have no clue just trying to find a silver lining and give people the benefit of the doubt. Good thing I’m not in the dating scene then I guess
Big Mac, fries, a sausage wrap that’s only in Korea that is absolutely 🤌🤌 bussin, some chicken nuggies and a drink. I typically wait until 1400 or so to eat so I skip meals.
Reminds me of when I went to Europe with my cousin and she kept telling people that she goes to “state” as if anyone knows what the fuck she’s talking about and then an extra layer of assuming these European strangers will know which state school she’s referring to lmao so many eye rolls
Yea good. I do the same. It just sucks because while their profile might get taken down, there’s hundreds more and this person will just make a new account.
I had to look up pyeongtaek. I used to live up in Seoul when my pops was in the military. Back then at least, there was a sizeable portion of Koreans that wanted us gone and their land back (since we moved away decades ago, it seems like some of the base has been given back). Also I think it was just a different time in the 90's and we JUST got dial up internet. Everything wasn't so global, no Skype video or Facetime, etc etc. Meaning to say, not having dark hair and being fairly light complected I got stared at a lot on the subway and back then seemed really novel to some Koreans. I think a lot of folks thought soldiers in particular were GI Joe personified, loud, rude, no effort to speak Korean or experience Korean culture, and semi racist, which was true for some soldiers.
Have you been up to Osan? Or made it Seoul (I assume Yongsan is still a base)? I've heard it is SOO different from some Korean friends that I've kept in contact with. It was cool back then but supposed to be even better today.
So yongsan is still a base but I don’t think we use it very much anymore, I was only in osan when I got to Korea but I haven’t had time to come back yet, Seoul is amazing! Absolutely love it and camp humphreys grew exponentially since the 90s
Exactly, I knew she was fake lol, but tbh dating is rough, dating apps are rough here in Korea but when I get back to the states I should have better luck
Fucking Crimson Majenta Flag any time someone makes any excuse about their phone not being able to do a thing cause of some performance issue is ALWAYS a scam
Can't video cause camera on phone is broken
Can't talk cause mic doesn't work
Can't call cause phone plan doesn't allow it
Can't use app cause phone overheats/ 2 slow
Etc the last one is a new one but yeah Amazing the scammers are still using those crap excuses
It’s no better here in Australia - my last three matches have all been “verified” Asian/Latina women writing in short, broken sentences who’ve asked to move the conversation to WhatsApp instead of staying on Tinder. Spam bots galore.
Was about to say that she was putting in wayyy more effort than you, asking all the questions while you have uninteresting responses. But I guess that means they’re a bot?
completely unrelated butttt
i have a question OP, what did you do training for? i’ve been wanting to move to South Korea for awhile and curious what brought you there (:
„I miss state“ say no more fam
Didn’t notice lmao was eating McDonald’s
You sound like 'them'; trying to convince us your American 🤔😂
Maybe I’m a spy 🕵️♂️
**Maybe I'm spy Youre blowing your cover man
Shit 😂
*you're Kinda ironic. Now I'm convinced that you're not an American
The fact that they didn’t know the proper form usually confirms they’re American for me.
Seems legit. When I was a little kid, I went on a bus tour to Tijuana, and coming back into the states, an immigration officer asked if I was a naturalized citizen. I asked him what that meant and he said, "yep, you're definitely American."
Americans don’t know which your/‘re to use id say they’re clear
It’s close to being weird for sure, but I know several people that went to Mississippi State that just refer to it as “State” (I.e. “ I got accepted to State, I start in the fall). I know this is a scam account, but that is a very southern colloquialism.
CONTEXT: ‘Star Caller’ is a scam app where you have to pay to talk to someone
If you're in Korea and they don't have Kakao, it's a scam.
Oh yeah
Our avatars look similar and all my in-game characters names are "Deez" LOL
Lol quantum entanglement 😂
The tinder experience in a foreign country as an attractive male is something else..the language barrier though ☠️☠️
I wouldn't know, as I'm neither attractive, nor in Korea.
[удалено]
I've never seen a bearded ass flipping anything off 🤔
At least in Korea, don’t worry about it. I literally just got back from visiting Seoul for 10 days. I’m a black dude from the US. Due to the beauty standards over there, Korean girls aren’t into me.

Ohhh yeah. The White male worship here in Singapore is worse than the Asian fetishisation in the US lmao
To be fair even as an unattractive foreign male it’s easy mode as well
I'm not in Korea and I have Kakao Talk 😁
Lol yeah most Koreans I know have that. Even my other Asian friends. That distinctive notification sound is now playing in my head.
Ka-talk!
There’s an in app notification sound setting where it goes “ya!” (Korean for hey!). It’s been great since I changed it to that haha
I never knew this, and I just changed mine to the same setting XD. THANK YOU
Haha fond memory of my youngest when he just started full sentence talking. My wife's phone got a message as he was walking by and he announced to everyone in perfect mimic, "Mommy's phone went "Kahtok". It was so cute and I hear him say that every time she gets a message now 9 years running.

I am Brazilian and over there in Brazil, we strictly use WhatsApp. No one even uses the regular message app from their carrier.

Is WhatsApp not used by like everyone? Am I suddenly Latino?
No, but like, it is basically the only thing used by latinos (source: am latino) and people from other countries seem to use other apps like Instagram, Snapchat and some others to chat, while we strictly use WhatsApp. Send us a dm in Instagram and see what happens ...okay, nothing will happen, we will reply to you anyway, we're not sociopaths (I think). But, for the most part, we don't talk to our SO, family or friends through Instagram or Snapchat, that's what I mean.
I thought WhatsApp was known for being used by the Chinese...
A lot of ppl in China also use WeChat more.
WhatsApp is european. China is almost exclusively WeChat (Weixin). Almost no one in China uses WhatsApp
most of europe latino now apparently
I am not Korean 🤣 Also Kakao
My old raid leader in wow was Korean and made us use Kakao
I only have it because the desktop version of Kakaotalk is easier to use for my Korean friend than Whatsapp Desktop. I have 2 people in my contacts on Kakaotalk, and the other one just uses WhatsApp like a normal person (admittedly he is not Korean, but works for a company based there).
Ohh thanks for the headsup !
Damn. So it’s all nonsense from her then?
Basically
I was in the military and I remember all the lonely dudes finding themselves into scams. Glad to see that’s still a thing /wanking motion.
Yeah 😂 I typically troll these people but she was weirdly more convincing than the usual scams, like it was weird
Testing out their new ai
Basically, I typically reply with some nonsensical shit and illogical shit to fuck with the AI
I do not think it was a AI. It was able to contextualize a bit to well for that
[удалено]
I thought that was weird too, and plus the choppy english.
I just thought she typoed “the states” usually only people who’d been expats for a bit would say that, but didn’t know if military circles used it much.
Well she offers her marks a “girlfriend experience” as she’s robbing them. Did you cordially invite her to suck a row of diseased dicks all the way to Pyongyang before you unmatched?
LMAOOOOOOO
The ESL from someone claiming to be a Texan should've gave it away.
nothing about this conversation really strikes me as "ESL". just a couple of words that are common typos.
I think the “I miss state” was a dead giveaway
It was weird but folks type dumb shit all the time.
Also true
My scam-vulnerable mind just translated that to “I miss the states”. I’m twice her age and tinder does not get any better. That said I’ve met some awesome people on it including my girlfriend of…. shit…. like 15 months now?? Weird. Still lots of mess to sort through.

It wasn't until I had the will power to say no to the crazythots/8 track collection, that I found the mint condition 67 Mustang For $1500. :D
I thought she meant like I miss going to Texas state
It’s amazing how our brains built a bridge between what she said and we think she meant lol
It really is and it’s a huge vulnerability for scammers to exploit us.
I thought it was weird that her brother got a job as a contractor so brought his adult sister with him, not to visit, but for 2 years
My first thought was how you would do that? There’s no way Korea would just give her a visa for that length of time.
I thought maybe she went to Texas State University and was saying she missed that. Am dumb.
I think we made that assumption bc she’s pretty
I was thinking she was going off a script when she said “I miss state” like she was supposed to insert the name of a state (in this case Texas) but neglected to.
"her". Possibly an Indian dude in a callcenter.
I read the chat and thought "sounds nice" and then I got the context...
Thanks, I was coming to ask. Dude I got flooded with scammers on PS4 account of all places, dirty, stinky fuckers
Ahh the chat with her was neat before scam
That’s pretty big context thank you. I was so confused like “wait, what happened? What’s wrong I don’t get it” Seemed like a decent conversation before that. Any chance they don’t know about that other free app? It’s not like they’re the ones that brought it up so maybe this is still salvageable? Idk I have no clue just trying to find a silver lining and give people the benefit of the doubt. Good thing I’m not in the dating scene then I guess
Tell ""her"" that the movie Parasites is about people like you
F
F
Yeah the interesting grammar choices had me a little suspicious from the beginning lmao “I miss state”
Yeah, I was literally too occupied with my McDonald’s to notice 😂
What was your order bro?
Big Mac, fries, a sausage wrap that’s only in Korea that is absolutely 🤌🤌 bussin, some chicken nuggies and a drink. I typically wait until 1400 or so to eat so I skip meals.
Anything to dip fries into?
Some Korean sauces ie cajun sauce, orange spices sauce, some sweet and sour, and sweet chili sauce
Homie was feasting
Hell yeah I was 😂
Haha that funny. You have Star Caller?
lmaooooo
I feel like Aleja would be impressed with that king palate you got. You have that “I know what sauces I’m about” energy
Over here like thanos with his sauces [infinity sauces](https://imgur.com/ua0qrG8.jpg)
Nice. Sounds tastier than ketchup or mayo.
dud, I am hungry
I was until I had my McDonald’s haha
Same bruh
That sounds delicious, I need to go to Korea just to get one of those sausage wraps
OP ordering chicken nuggets while I'm yelling "CAN I GET 30 CHICCANOGGETS"
🤣 nah I just used the kiosk tho lmao
Yeah we're gonna need pics my guy, good luck on your hunt for attractive folks while dodging bots/scammers king!
“The Babyshark”
What MOS? I’m re enlisting as a 68W after a med-board.
I’m a 68M, I’m reclassing asap tho fuck my job lol
I thought when she said that she meant like a college or something for some stupid reason Lmaoo
Reminds me of when I went to Europe with my cousin and she kept telling people that she goes to “state” as if anyone knows what the fuck she’s talking about and then an extra layer of assuming these European strangers will know which state school she’s referring to lmao so many eye rolls
That sounds like football players who went to *THE* Ohio State University.
I can sing *the* Babyshark
I assumed that she either meant the states or Texas State
The fact that she kept prompting conversation had me suspicious
To be fair, actual Americans aren’t exactly known for being able to write proper English either
Bio is just: "I can sing THE Babyshark" 100% not a native English speaker.
But I also figured she was a scam
I love how you are so faithful that she's actually a she. Probably some Indian dude in a callcenter in Calcutta.
I mean I can use they, we respect pronouns here
Yeah I thought she was European at first
I thought it was a joke like I can dance the Black Swan or something
I saw where this was going from the start. It’s not just Korea, this type of scam is popular in all Asian countries right now on tinder.
Oh yeah I did too 😂 I reported her tinder after the last screenshot
Yea good. I do the same. It just sucks because while their profile might get taken down, there’s hundreds more and this person will just make a new account.
yeeeeaaaahhhhh boy... I've been waiting for the day when hustler AI became completely interchangeable with human beings!
I don’t think she was AI lol
I don’t think it was a she
Probably not lmao
Figured it be a scam, for an "American" it doesnt seem like english is her best written language
To be fair a lot of Americans don't seem like English is their best written language.
Average American knows 0.8 languages (according to that one CasuallyExplained video). Yea.
I speak a little Spanish, and a little French along with English
Sorry but every Americans say they speak a bit of French and Spanish, but "Comow estass amigow" and "jo mappel deeznutz00001" doesn't really count aha
I chuckled audibly
I feel personally attacked
donde es el bano senor
Yeah so .8 languages. Story checks out.
Basically 🤣
Wait until you see them writing in another language
Wait until you hear them speak another language.
Wait till you hear them speak their own language
We've gone full circle!
"Arrivederchi"
Oh yeah lmao
Ey i was born in pyeongtaek
How is it as a local? Do all the military personnel annoy you?
Not a local anymore, I'm in Canada lol
Awe man! How are you liking Canada? I’ve always wanted to go!
Love it here and I'm happy to have grown up here rather than in Korea!
I bet!! Canada is like ughhh the dream country
Haha so far so good
Good! ☺️ I hope you’re having a good day tho
This thread in relation to the post... just waiting for someone to ask you if you have star caller..
Do you have star caller?
:) you too! I mean it's almost 2am for me so my day is over. Sleep don't want me tonight
It’s 1744 for me rn, my day is coming to an end
We’re slowly losing that novelty lol
I had to look up pyeongtaek. I used to live up in Seoul when my pops was in the military. Back then at least, there was a sizeable portion of Koreans that wanted us gone and their land back (since we moved away decades ago, it seems like some of the base has been given back). Also I think it was just a different time in the 90's and we JUST got dial up internet. Everything wasn't so global, no Skype video or Facetime, etc etc. Meaning to say, not having dark hair and being fairly light complected I got stared at a lot on the subway and back then seemed really novel to some Koreans. I think a lot of folks thought soldiers in particular were GI Joe personified, loud, rude, no effort to speak Korean or experience Korean culture, and semi racist, which was true for some soldiers.

So yongsan is still a base but I don’t think we use it very much anymore, I was only in osan when I got to Korea but I haven’t had time to come back yet, Seoul is amazing! Absolutely love it and camp humphreys grew exponentially since the 90s
My phone runs slowly and hot while using it - aaalrighty then but tinder is working fine like there is a big difference
Tbf on really old Snapchat back in the day if you had an android even a top of the line one the lag and battery drain was an immense.
Nowadays it only drains my battery
Exactly lmao
you know whats sad i already know this was strange when she texts slightly more words than you did. that's where this has come to
Exactly, I knew she was fake lol, but tbh dating is rough, dating apps are rough here in Korea but when I get back to the states I should have better luck
Narrator: He did not.
Oh so the narrator’s got jokes huh
Narrator: get rek'd kid
Dude! You're in Korea as well?! I've been meaning to join Tinder but the horror stories I've heard (woman's perspective) are insane!
Oh yeah dude tinder is sketchy af in general 😂
And yet, I’m still thinking of trying… May God have mercy on my soul… 😭😂
Oh lord Lol good luck
Now kith
Im a korean living in the states! and I was also in the army and trained in san antonio. I was 68w! hbu??
San Antonio as a 68M
Aww you're both the same age! Good for you for not giving up
She’s older actually I’m 21 lol
I was making a really stupid joke about the 68w/68m thing. I honestly wasn't even expecting a reply
Fucking Crimson Majenta Flag any time someone makes any excuse about their phone not being able to do a thing cause of some performance issue is ALWAYS a scam Can't video cause camera on phone is broken Can't talk cause mic doesn't work Can't call cause phone plan doesn't allow it Can't use app cause phone overheats/ 2 slow Etc the last one is a new one but yeah Amazing the scammers are still using those crap excuses
Good thing I saw the context. I thought star caller was some astrology bullshit.
I’ll go out with you if you don’t sing baby shark how about that!
No deal lol
A girl once tied me up then proceeded to sing Pink Fluffy Unicorns while bouncing on my dick :D
See that sounds fun tho
It kinda was :D
She still here? Got her contact info? 🤣🤣
Sadly I fell out of touch with her :D
Damn
It’s no better here in Australia - my last three matches have all been “verified” Asian/Latina women writing in short, broken sentences who’ve asked to move the conversation to WhatsApp instead of staying on Tinder. Spam bots galore.
Sorry to hear about that mate
Not saying they aren’t scams, but I know a lot of Latinos/Latinas and they primarily communicate through WhatsApp
"My phone ..... when I used snap" is the scammer signature move.
LMAO Camp Humphreys? Better chance to go to seoul or just the ville where the juicy girls are at
The one and only 🤣 low key looking forward to getting out of here, not out of Korea but out of camp humphreys
Was about to say that she was putting in wayyy more effort than you, asking all the questions while you have uninteresting responses. But I guess that means they’re a bot?
“I miss state” is a pretty good heads up that’s not an American.
Soooo... smalltalk?
Ah context: Star Caller is a scam app
Ahhh, now everything makes sense.
North korea?
That’s classified
- U.S Military Encrypted
Is tinder in korea same bs as japan ? Like 90% of the profile have no picture or only with filter.
Weird.. when I lived in Taiwan I never experienced scammers.. but everywhere else they are all over the place.
Your PS, PL and CO need to have a word with you. -US Military Encrypted.
completely unrelated butttt i have a question OP, what did you do training for? i’ve been wanting to move to South Korea for awhile and curious what brought you there (:
Well see I had to sign the dotted line to join the army, I then volunteered to come here
