As you get older you realize the distinctions between idealogies of East and West, making you wonder about acquiring a wife or husband here. You no longer see through the eyes of physical-personality characteristics, but distinguish your own values and beliefs. Some may be religious, others food and etiquette, and others, social norms. What's more, there's always the idea that you're going to have to forego some of these and your own national identity in order to please your mate, which is going to be a lifetime battle.

In my opinion, I'd rather choose bachelorhood than marry here.

Take it or leave it, although I hope the newlyweds have a great honeymoon.

That's deep.

Maybe knee-deep.

You can't start a thread with "as you get older..." and then post immature rubbish.

Or, can you? Confused

yeah, it's almost as if you're marrying a different species over here---not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think the hardest thing for her, if she goes to the West, will be family seperation. I think my wife was a little unsettled by it, even though she is independent and never really spoke of it. If she has a K Air plane ticket once a year, I reckon she'll be purring.

In marriage ideologies become blurred and mixed. Social norms are learned and unlearned. They are no problem.

I play less video games. Actually they don't even excite me anymore. At one point I found that frustrating. Like a guy who has lost all sexual desire. He sees a pretty woman and feels nothing. But he remembers this used to give him great, great pleasure and there's a weird sense of loss you can't put into words. A memory of pleasure but no physiological drive.

Anyway, I suspect my brain now produces dopamine when I walk through a houseware department. A clever garlic press excites me.

And time speeds up.
