Korean Job Discussion Forums

For those of you who didn't know this, there's a huge male surplus in Korea. There will be an estimated 400 000 - 500 000 single wild geese roaming the streets (of Korea, not just Seoul) by 2015-2020. (will provide link upon request)

There's also the mandatory 2-year military service and the charming corporate world. Take away cigarettes, soju and sam-gyop-sal and a couple million ajosshis would have no reason to live. (not necessarily unique to Korea)

I went to Ehwa woman's university the other day. I was having a blast up until I stopped by the washroom and this rotten creep who looked like something congealed in the gutter was puffing away in one of the stalls. Awesome!!

There is a handful of men out there who are taking to the side of the street in loving consideration of the hundreds of thousands of other people who also have the right to walk in the streets.

Most people, the good old ajosshis in particular, don't give a rat's ass about others. Being disgusting is all they know. They spit and hark and smoke and shove and send out weird animal noises, I'm guessing this is their mating call or something.

I'm not saying this is unique to Korea, but it sure is more pronounced here than in any other of the 14 countries I've been to, some of which I have lived in.

A true gentleman wouldn't spit right in front women or light up a cig by children. It's fine, I know they don't give a damn about me, but show some goddamn common courtesy in front of the ladies. You can ban smoking in public spaces but you can't change the deep-rooted values (confucianism) that put men above women, the morally corrupt corporate world (how come Koreans work the longest hours in the world, but have the lowest productivity among ALL OECD countries?)

How come Korea has the lowest birth rate in world? And also the lowest percent of foreign students in the entire world? Korea is however the largest producer and consumer of spirits in the world, again AwEsOmE!!

There is something fundamentally wrong with Korean men, they are the root of all the major social problems here.

This article is based on TOTAL population, including grandpa n grandma. It neglects to address the hundreds of thousands of single men between the ages of 15/46.

I was teaching in an elem. school and noticed fewer than a quarter of the class were female students, the rest being male in EVERY class I taught.

How did that happen I wonder?

There will be a big problem with securing wives for K-fellows in future.
