HAHAHA! That explains a lot of the problem I'm having as well. You put it nicely. |
It's like making wooppiiee  , if she's not having fun and things are boring, YOU aren't doing something right. Little fellow...  |

Ha ha if only the world were that simple. I have heard various other similar quotes such as:
"There are no bad students, only bad teachers"
"The customer is always right"
These are good maxims to base your approach and actions on but they do not simply mean that the responsibility/blame falls entirely to one party, or that one party can never be to blame. |

It's a two way street. They shouldn't expect me to do all the work when I don't even know what's going on inside their head or if they're even worth the effort. |

When they start weighing your specs (money, height, popularity rating et al) more heavily than simply who you are and how well you get on with her, bail unless you want to become just another statistic (this type of chick won't hesititate to pull the disappearing act when a guy who's regarded as better by her friends comes along). On the other hand, if you happen on someone who bases things more on how well you connect heart-to-heart, you may have a keeper (so long as she isn't bringing up marriage on the first or second date). |

last time i checked money, height, and popularity amongst other personality traits went hand-in-hand with how a person perceived themselves as well as others.
in other words, as romantic of a notion as it sounds that we are our hearts with stumpy little legs leading it along, those types of things you listed are who we are.
you must truly not be naive enough to think that if you find a girl who likes your "heart" that she wouldn't leave you for someone who has what she perceives to be a superior heart just as a person who puts money on the highest pedestal wouldn't leave you for a richer man if given adequate reason. you can't also believe that the things you listed doesn't matter to everyone in some degree, man or woman.
people look at life too black and white. people don't either care about money or not care about money because the world requires you to care about it, it just boils down to what degree they care about it. This applies for height, popularity, everything.
my advice is just be in a relationship and make it as amazing as you can until it fails or until your body fails, whichever comes first. if the former happens, get up and find someone who will make you feel like you did before and don't worry about all this nonsense about avoiding someone or not approaching them just because you think you aren't tall enough or rich enough for them. if you are interested in someone, talk to them. |

I don't understand this. I knew very few Korean PS teachers under the age of thirty.

I believe in being in love. I hate the idea of people who are constantly "weighing" the pros and cons of a relationship with mathematical formulae, waiting for the perfect time to bounce on to the next relationship. That isn't love... that's just a job.  |

Yes, most got married in their thirties. Many people get married in their thirdies these days. |

huh? how many PS teachers do you know? There are certainly plenty that are in their upper 20's.
and re "love", that sounds nice, but "love" can bloom and fade away like the onset of spring and then autumn. Unless you have concrete commonalities and agreement within the couple on important matters, which include them meeting most of the "checklist" of a marriage partner, a marriage based on purely "love" may be seen as foolish.
which is why in major parts of the world, people still use matchmakers, much less allow their parent to pick out "suitable" mates. |

I know at least ten public school teachers who are under the age of thirty.
I know two Korean public school teachers who are married to foreigners. |

I am in love with my wife. Yet, I still weighed the pros and cons of our relationship and future prospect of marriage, and so did she, before we married. I am not so sure it is wise to be in a marriage or a long term relationship based only on love. |

Me neither and I've worked in Gyeonggi-do and Seoul, haha. I could imagine a Korean PS teacher marrying a foreigner but not an English teacher and ESPECIALLY not the NET at their school. It'd kind of be like marrying the janitor or someone who works in the kitchen. |
