O.K. Folks, do not crucify me for these questions. I would like some straightforward answers rather than the Hecklers and Haters giving their "views".
Would there be any problem, with the law, having 2, 3, or 4 different girls entering and exiting my apartment each day? Mind you, none of these girls would be carrying books, or giving the impression that they were being "tutored", in the conventional sense of the word. Yes (in response to the question forming in your brain), I would be doing things with these girls that their mothers would not approve of.
I am a guy who likes women. I like to have female friends, and am always flanked by a bevy of legal aged girls. I am not impressed with myself, I just work that way. The girls are not usually beauty queens.
Would there be any repercussions with gossip getting back to one's boss at school, cram school, or institute, in having 2, 3, or 4 different girls entering and exiting one's apartments each day? Remember, none of these girls would be carrying books, or giving the impression that they were being "tutored".
I'm just a regular hard working guy. When I am working, I am all business, and do not mix business with pleasure (at least not THAT kind of pleasure). When I am not working, I want to be left alone, and not have to be worried about gossip harming me. I am fine with people gossiping about me, but I would not like it to affect my paycheck.
Any observations, suggestions, or valuable information would be highly appreciated. Haters... please refrain from giving moral advice or biblically dictated suggestions. Hecklers....save the stupid comments, veiled in humor, for some others' thread. |

Your question presupposes that someone else has had this experience. That may not be the case.
I live in an apartment where a few "ladies of the night" also live. There seems to be no judgement of the ladies, who openly come and go and meet their "dates" at the front door. I know that this is not the kind of activity you're asking about but it may be indicative of the way people mind their own business.
You probably wouldn't want to stay in housing provided by or found for you by the school. |

Cool!
Good point about the housing provided by, or found by, the school.
Thank you for your observations, and your honest answer.

I think that you meant to write "...usually not beauty queens."

It may depend on the size of the community within which you will be working; You may be "the foreigner" in a smaller community. You should avoid employer-provided housing, as suggested by MomCat

dude - what do you expect? This is a forum for teachers, not profligate sexpats who claim that they will be "having 2, 3, or 4 different girls entering and exiting my apartment" every day! I'm not judging you or your lifestyle; you just sound so pathetic.

Thank you for your comments Serious_Fun.
You wrote..."I'm not judging you or your lifestyle; you just sound so pathetic."
I think that you meant to write "....I'm not judging you or your lifestyle, BUT, you just sound so pathetic."
In this case, I believe that writing as one speaks, or thinks, would better do the trick than using a semi-colon. Use of the semi-colon, in this case, flattens your delivery. Your expression lacks the visceral punch that I am sure you were after.

Yeah, really, I was thinking exactly the same thing. Your lifestyle will last until the stalkers camp out in front of your door and make your life hell. Enjoy! |
