 |

This makes me think back to when I was single and dating. Those rude guys who scowled or balked at me for being with a Korean woman did tend to be in their 40's. They also didn't look like something a Korean woman would want to marry.

| It has been revealed that one out of three murders in South Korea�s recent history was committed by a person in their 40s. The report detailing the information has led to the concern that it was a measurement of the fact that a certain group of people in their 40s have received a great amount of pressure from early retirement and business failures.... |

Yeah, isn't it called "manslaughter" when it's unintentional, not murder? Presumably they meant "non-premediated" or something like that.
But to the OP: it's quite a leap to say that there's any connection to 40-something Korean men scowling at you and 40-something Korean men murdering people. Furthermore, how long has it been since you were single? Because this is, according to the article, a very recent phenomenon. One more thing: if they scowled at you for being with a Korean woman when you were single, why wouldn't they do so now that you're married? Are you rarely in public with your wife? |

Harhar, nice. Still, the only people I've ever seen fighting in public here have been in the adjoshi category. Nice change from all the PoSs back home smacking each other around in bars, but still pretty weird. |

The late 30's- late 40's ajosshi agegroup are definitely the most unpleasant in terms of attitudes and behaviour.
Its the generation that never had foreign teachers, never had any contact with outsiders, never learned english. They were never exposed to new influences or ideas. Maladjusted barbarians who are getting left behind. Not surprising they are commiting crimes. Chip on the shoulder. |

They were adults through most of the boom, they probably don't even know how to use the internet. |

the very very very few times I've had issues with them they were definitely older. 50 plus.
Never any problem with that age group. |

lol! 
My question, isn't that guy who leads AES in his late-30's/early-40's?
This has the makings of a really funny thread. Priceless. |

| The other night I was walking with a Korean girl when an adjoshi decided he needed to throw a lit cigarette at us and try to spit on me. 90% of the yelling and shouting and near assault against me is by 40-50 year adjoshi. Why is it that that generation is full of so many a**holes but the older ones are so kind (at least in comparison)? |

A fair question.
My wife and I have had a few issues with ajoshis, both before and after marriage, but when we have, she's been the first to step in and thoroughly embarrass the guy publicly. She immediately lays into the guy asking him firmly, but not in an unkind way, "Why? Is there a problem?"
Most encounters we have tend to be those mentally slow (or drunk), annoying characters that "just want to talk with the waygook because he's a waygook." My wife gets rid of them.
Some more important information -- my wife looks very respectable (not that other ladies balked at necessarily look the opposite). She wears nice clothes, very nice gloves and shoes, carries an expensive purse, etc.. She doesn't dress like a hooker from a rap video (although sometimes I wish she did -- haha). Her clothes are generally conservative, but not necessarily following Korean trends. It should also be noted that my wife looks quite Japanese. So much, in fact, that she is often asked if she's Japanese openly. I think that these two last points keep the older ajoshis at bay.
Long before I was married, and when I was dating other people (maybe 5 years ago plus) I had a multitude of problems with 40-something Korean guys. Several of them were probably late 30's back then (that group has, obviously, aged since that time). Every one of them -- EVERY one of them -- could have been classified as unable to get a Korean woman. They were all ugly (by Korean standards), had horrible attitudes, probably haven't been laid without paying for it, etc..
It really makes a difference what your "date", or in my case, my wife looks like. Your age is a huge factor, as well, I'm now 40 (Korean age). When I came here, I was 32 and looked 26. That's when I had the most trouble.
One more thing about the girls you date -- some of them we'd classify as "hot" by western standards, but because their nose isn't a certain way, or they aren't the right height -- whatever -- they aren't considered so hot here. That puts them in the category of what those ugly ajosshis think they should be able to get. A lot of Western guys date these types of ladies here. When said ladies dress in a sexy way, and are out with a foreigner, it seems to really upset those 30 to 40-something ajoshis.

Manslaughter is homocide without malice. It can be intentional or unintentional. That is (1st degree manslaughter) the person who killed the individual was driven to the point where he could not control his feeling or actions by something in general that the killed person did to him or someone else. Or (2nd degree manslaughter) the person did not intentionally kill someone.
In the USA 1st degree manslaughter carries the same penalty maximum as second degree murder, but in most cases judges are much more lenient in sentencing for manslaughter |

They treat other Koreans badly, too. Oh, and many are what are called "instant jerks- just add soju."  |
