...because she won't date me! Embarassed

Seriously writing off ethnicites is not in a guy's best interests. Although I figured out I'm never going to find a girl in Korea....Watch the numbers.
There are 17,346,594 women in Korea between the age of 14-64
Let us asume half of them are in the range of 18-32. This is a silly figure but to prove otherwise would require using deviations based on data not easily found.
-8,682,297 Women between the age of 18-32
Now of these almost one in 5 live in Seoul (out of 48,000,000 people Seoul is 9 million). I am very very far from Seoul in Rural Gangwon-do. Also Seoul girls look down on Gangwon-do. Therefore we have 6,694,638
-6,694,638 Women of marriagable age not living in Seoul
However...some of them are already married. As I am not interested in breaking up happy homes...I must avoid these cougars. Let us assume since the average age of marriage is 27 for women...meaning that half of the women from 27-32 are married. This is half of one seventh of the sample. So removing the married women gives me 5,578,865
-So with 5,578,865 between 18-32, not married and not in Seoul
I should be all happy except now it gets ugly. I'm good looking. No not model good looking not vain nor insanse. I believe I'm Better looking than 65% of the population. In other words 35% is better looking than me. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say half of single Korean women are attractive enough. Half of these women=2,789,432 women. I don't think saying half of the females in korea are attractive is a lie, nor is it unfair to say half of them aren't. Also those who have overdosed on plastic surgery, or have skin diseases are included in this list.
-2,789,432 Women single not in Seoul attractive and not married of age
Ok random statistic. How many Korean women will marry a foreigner? Watch 14% of Korean marriages were international in 2005. However only 12% of these marriages were to Americans. So let us say that 14% of Korean women would marry a foreigner. We will simply ignore the American statistic. So 390,520 women want to marry a white dude. I figure that using the rate of foreign marriage with a sample population, in which the sample population includes people who WANT to get get married I should get a reasonable finding
-390,520 Women who are single, of age, pretty, would marry a foreigner and don't live in Seoul. Ok I don't speak Korean. We need a girl who speaks either Russian or English or French, although the last it a stretch. Let us assume, once again this is a statistic that makes no sense but, 50% speak enough of a second language for us to talk on some level. (I could learn Korean but I am LAZY!) This gives us 195,260. I'm going to stop here and say I could happily marry any and all of these 195,260 Women. However...this is a number that become scary
-drum roll please-
IF there are 8,682,297 women of age in Korea...and 195,260 want to marry me. I have a 2% chance if finding one who meets my critique. Yep, I have to meet 98 Women to meet two. In other words if I meet 2 new girls a week IT WILL BE ALMOST A YEAR UNTIL I FIND A CHICK! DAMN !
--by the way I meet one girl a MONTH!

A string of premises based on possibilities, even if moderately probable, end in a very unlikely conclusion.

Of course, you could very well be joking. But if you're not, may I suggest some more research?

I wish you put said statistics in proper paragraphs. Give me one, single, solitary reason why I should read a so-called English teacher's writing - no matter how true, decent and evidenced - if it isn't written in a form consensually recognized as proper by the educated classes. Your writing style suggests you're a man of questionable wits, upbringing and character. I teach Korean people, who struggle to utter a sentence, who know how to write. You are from ______, an E2 Visa country, and write in a horrible fashion.
