Facts:

- The sex ratio is completely messed up in Korea (ages 15-46). There's an
Estimated 600 000 excess men here.
- More and more foreign men are pouring into Korea (English teachers,
factory workers, professionals, etc.)
- More and more Korean women are headed to the US for US citizenship.
- Korea has the lowest birth rate in the entire world.
- There's still a preference for sons (Confucius is still a rock star)

The male surplus is disturbing and disgusting. Korea desperately needs more women. Social unrest is inevitable..it'll hit the rural areas first and spread like a virus into the bigger cities. Hold on to what you got, there are endless lines of sex starved Korean men waiting to get their hands on anything biologically female.

That's why they imported Starcraft. Those men are all playing the game and watching it on TV. They don't even know women exist.

I was in an Emart today, and went to their PC section. I'm not kidding, but they had three shelves of Starcraft and one little kiddie game where you pet a donkey or something dorky like that.

Between the ages of 15-46....600,000 is a big number. An estimated 400 000 Korean men (20-35) will not be able to find a local spouse.

How dare Korean men want Korean women when poor white English teachers are here to save Korean women. Laughing

If you think it's bad here, imagine what it must be like in China.

Nonsense. A cool decent guy can still find a fish.

Damn, that excludes me.

Or just keep them in rotation. Works better for everyone that way; a lot more fun too.

Most girls don't really mind this anyway, as they are just as interested in checking out their options and trading up for a better deal if they can. Most will never admit to this of course, but talk about it with a girl you aren't dating and you can often get the truth.

Many Korean girls keep a few guys on the sidelines as well and will keep them or scrap them depending on the guys income potential or future prospects. They don't have to wait for womens liberation, they are gaining power in a different way, by capitalizing on their own scarcity.

Of course, if you fall in love, THEN hold on to what you got.

With all the Korean women looking to get married (to Koreans) and all those looking to get laid (by anybody), this is hard to believe.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I guess I was a little tired. I was actually expecting it to be about some sort ecological disaster in the ocean. I was expecting it to be about there literally not being enough female fish in the ocean due to something along the lines of humans overfishing and eating too much caviar. Laughing

Well, more Korean men marry foreign women (mostly Korean men and Vietnamese women) than Korean women marry foreign men. That takes care of a big part of the "imbalance."

Shocked Not that. It is just too cruel.


What has the Korean male done to you that you would wish a plague of white women teachers on them?
