-I asked my co-teacher why all the male koreans go out to room salons and nor-ae-bangs and call for girls, but make all the female teachers go home. I said "why not bring the women teachers and save money."
-She informed me, the women at room salons and da-bangs, their job is to amuse men, they are professional. I don't amuse men. I am a teacher.
--might explain why I'm not having any fun here.

Maybe I am missing something here, you propose the female teachers come out so that the men can save money on buying "entertainment"?

If this is the case, you are lucky she did not slap the p*ss outta you.

If you make boneheaded comments like that, you will not have fun anywhere.

Wow.

I mean . . . wow. Did you also ask why they go home after work instead of putting in a few shifts at the 안마? That's also a legitimate question. You can flatter your coworkers by saying they're much prettier than the women working at the 안마 now.

I think your social skills might have more to do with why you're not having fun here... just my guess. Have you tried talking to a woman and not suggesting that she be a wh0re?

-I think I made the point badly...I was trying to explain that I don't understand why, if all we do is drink and sing, can't the (much younger, english speaking, attractive) teachers come with us. I understand paying for sex, in concept. But paying for female 'companionship' is strange. Why can't the women have some fun too?

The whole point is that they want to unwind... relax. They don't want to have to worry about gossip the next day, awkward work situations, etc.

Is it really that hard to see?

The women do get invited out... but after they go home, it's man time! Laughing

I expect that as women gain more power in the workplace, such activities will continue if not increase...

My apologies, I get your point now. I guess I've just come across too many raunchy posts lately and took what you said one way - obviously no the way you intended it.

Yeah, it is a shame that men and women here can't just go out and have a good time together as a group. It seems people can only really relax with their very, very close friends or with the same sex. Not that surprising given the culture, though. Maybe you could try being the one who rallies everyone together at your school. Maybe, don't know that it would work. Smile

Sorry again for jumping to conclusions. I can just see very clearly why Korean females would not appreciate your suggestion given that they could see your comment as saying they could fulfill the entertainment role for the guys.

Then why didn't you simply ask the MEN? Some of the posters hit the nail on the head with this one. Either a pathetic attempt to get in good graces with the co-workers, or just no social skills. Don't look for support on this one.

wtfff @ "When asked if prostitutes are needed to satisfy men's sexual needs, 20.4 percent of women"

Way to just throw in the towel and not care if your husband is banging prosti's, as long as he's buying he coach bags.
