People put up a good front.

Take your time and just meet someone new.

Thanks guys,

I definitely could use more stories, really good upbeat ones.

About the Karma thing, Yeah. I made that mistake and I actually thought this was Karma when it happened.

I'm not sure I can date another Korean girl. I want to meet another foreigner but all the ones I've seen are just so goddamn freaky. Even the gyopos.

I think I can only come out of this is if I find a rebound quick...


Find a woman who cliques with you on a personal level and don't pay any mind to what ethnicity she is. Of course if you are a whittie and your SO is of African decent and your family are hotbed racists then you'd have to take that into consideration. Women from the west are a mixed bag but the militant feminist attitude is the primary reason I married someone from another culture. I looked for 20 years for someone in my own culture that I could love and who was compatible with me but as time went on it became less and less easy to find. If I were single now I wouldn't even try.

Approach dating in a non-linear fashion. In other words, there is absolutely no truth in the idea 'the last few girls were not right therefore the next ones will not be Ms.Rights' either...and have a little faith!

Gotta love this whole faceless internet agony aunt thing Rolling Eyes . The waegookin effect wears off, the girl figures out your personality and then it's goodnight Vienna.

You have to find something in your life more fulfilling than dating / sleeping with / being with women.

I'm serious.

Once you do, it won't be the end of the world so much when things don't work out with a woman, especially if you haven't known them that long anyway.

So many guys revolve their lives around women. I used to. These days I can barely be bothered, but if and when I meet someone who really stands out to me and we click well, then yeah I'll go for it.

Otherwise - Wherever, whatever, have a nice day.

This usually happens every few years. When it does it's electric and the wait for the quantity is well worth forgoing the mediocracy of chasing skirt and having drunken s*x every weekend or being in a relationship just cause you don't wanna be alone.

I turned down a young Korean chick a few months back who was pretty smoking hot. But she was kind of childish and weird.... But I could've taken her to a motel and youknowhat. I thought my friend was going to kill me, he was so outraged... I was like 'well I'm tired and my place is a mess and I can't be bothered waking up tommorow feeling awkward with someone I'm not really interested in...'

Lol I once turned down a 3some with two bi girls in Hongdae because I was pre-occupied with trying to figure out which interpretation of quantum mechanics I favoured.

meh,

also i have to say that as a foreign guy in korea, its easy to meet easy girls, but tough to meet good ones. going out with a foreigner is basically an act of rebellion, so we're not exactly starting with the right constituency.


Very well put.

and some other thoughts for the OP:

1. better now that later
2. of course she left you: all that talk about being Christian and benevolent. Who uses the word benevolent?, and in this context?
3. is having a woman meet YOUR criteria for "decent" your first requirement of them? what's next. Who could bother?

Maybe she realized you weren't the good christian you claim to be since you so easily typed the lords name in vain "goddamn"...? So I imagine you let your blasphemous tongue loose in speech as well. Spend more time at your bible readings or church functions to find that perfect righteous bore that you can relate to.

We fight sometimes but nothing serious and she is the best thing i ever did in my life, getting married to her.

They are there, just got to persevere.


You're a very lucky guy. I feel the same way about my girlfriend, and have for the last 2 years we've been in each others life. One day I'd like to be saying the same thing you are right now, and I'm doing my all to make sure that happens.


Yeah...the best part is it has been very very easy. No hassles, we just go about life as a single unit trying to give each other space but at the same time be there for each other. I think we have found a great balance.

Yeah, hang in there bud. It's like the old cliche, "There's plenty of other fish in the sea. But you're all alone, lost in the desert." Razz

My favorite girl ever was pretty similar to the OP. I still think about the potential, forgetting that in truth she was just a teenager at 30, worrying about her reputation, obedient to her old-school father, and always keeping the foreign boyfriend a priority somewhere below her elementary school chums and people who left comments on her cyworld page.

Do what we've done throughout the ages. Work it out with a bottle of cold Jagermeister and Journey's greatest hits.

You, sir, confuse the crap out of me. You talk about finding a person who is faithful, but you haven't been. You talk about being a good christian, but belive in karma? What kind of person becomes bigoted over one bad relationship with a korean? What kind of *ss are you?

Why can't you related to other foreigners, gyopos, and Koreans? The answer is simple. You are the problem. Don't cry about someone who "thought" of cheating. Everyone seems freaky to you because you are the freak. A crazy person thinks they are sane and everyone else isn't.

Also, the way you write tells me right off the bat that something isn't right with you?

Someone not emotional, pouty, or demanding. She changed and now I've lost faith in finding a Korean girl that is decent, loyal, and ethical.

benevolent Korean girl

a decent Korean woman who is decent, moral, ethical, and just not slutty


Who writes like this? I liked how you said," a decent Korean woman who is decent."

the beautiful things about astrophysics. Nobody understands what you are saying, I once argued the 'superiority of a geocentric solar system' and people just nodded, and tried to contribute.

I'm neither a ladies man nor a science whizz. Though both stories are true.

I have though been successful with women when I make the effort, though not on a super regular basis. And my science knowledge is rudimentary at best.

I was just trying to point out to the OP that it comes as a relief somewhat when you start finding transendance from other areas of life and instead of being the be all and end all, relations with women become just one equal interest out of several....

Though, yeah in my twenties I was a super horny, arse obsessed dog, I'll admit. It is a relief not to have that on the brain all the time any more though...

And you know, if a relationship or short time date doesn't go the way you planned it doesn't become the end of your world as you don't have all your hopes, dreams, emotions and energies invested in it....
